Elma’s Friend

While my brother and I bought some grocery items at Zher’s Market I met my friend Elma there. She immediately asked me to go with her. She said we will go to a birthday of her friend. At first I don’t like to go with her because I’m not ready to go with a party. I told her I need to change my clothes first. But she said my dress is good. So, I said yes without thinking. I told my brother that I’ll go with Elma. The birthday celebrant lives in the next city, so we travel half an hour. The weather is not good there’s a snow storm. Our driver, Elma’s husband asks the address of her friend. But, sad to say Elma forgot the exact location of the place. She called her friend through her cell phone but it’s unavailable. We tried to locate the place but we can not find. So, we decided to go to the nearest mall to look for the yellow book so that we can call her friend’s land line phone. But, still we can not find, so we stay for a moment and then our driver get angry now. He wants to go home. So, we decided to go home immediately. When we arrived at home, Elma phoned her friend and relates the story to her.

Thanks To You

A million of thanks for another precious thing you gave to me. You’re the best of all best. You’re a friend to be cherish forever. Even though it is in a distance but I consider our friendship as pure and a treasure in my life. I really appreciated those generosity and all the helps you gave to me since we became friends. You’ve done so many things to me. Thanks for being a friend, for the support, efforts and your never ending encouragement. You’re really great, my hero and your good deeds were really appreciated. Again, thanks and thanks and thanks, for being a friend and a sister to me.

Myself

I was once an ordinary citizen of the Philippines. When I was young I had only very simple dream. To finish my studies, get a permanent job before getting married. I courageously attended classes until I finished Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) at Bukidnon State College. I took a teacher’s board exam, one of the requirements to enter a government service.

I’m so thankful and praise God because I passed the board exam last August 2005. I worked as a public school teacher since January 1996, handling grade six pupils. I got married to my college boyfriend, also a teacher and presently a schools principal in our place. We’re blessed with one handsome son, 14 young of age now. Even though I got a descent job in the Philippines for 11 years as a teacher but it’s not enough to live a descent and comfortable life. That’s why I decided to go Canada to sake a greener pasture. As of now I’m here at Ontario Canada and still adjusting to my new environment which very different to my homeland.
