My school, LSC Calgary, has closed it doors for the last time today. It was a place where I really grew and my grammar skills blossomed, but it was also where I had met so many people that touched my life in so many ways. Sure there were days I wondered why I was there, and days I wanted to blend into the walls and hope nobody would see me, but that's pretty much impossible when one is a teacher! However, overall I am really grateful for the opportunities that the school had allowed me and the experiences that I had experienced, but the best thing of all are the friends that I have made and the places I can go.<br />My second feeling: relief, came when I visited the bank, some part of me was sad as I was on the road to financial freedom as I was at this moment supposed to be teaching in Saudi Arabia. However, due to that job not working out, I had to cancel my financial freedom plan, (actually I hope it's just on hold) until I get myself in a better place, as I've been unemployed for two and a half months.<br />My last feeling: stress, comes from having to sub for IELTS for the next couple of weeks, and it's always nerve racking when you're walking into another teacher's classroom, but also a new school with a different system. Or maybe it's the stress of having to get up early, as I've been on artist hours for the last little while.<br />So, as one thing ends, another new beginning starts. I hope the new year brings avenues I've yet to explore.<br /><br />P.S. In regards to the pictures above, the teachers had so much grief during our time in LSC from the series, "Just Right" as it was at times annoying with certain grammar being taught at the wrong time and setting up the next grammar focus for failure and annoyance. We called the series, "Just Wrong", sorry Jeremy Harmer. In unison we ripped up the pages that had irritated us the most while we had taught, it gave us great pleasure to say goodbye to a book we all didn't enjoy. Ah the small pleasures in life that make us :)Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140614165315823881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278750.post-15575337329160347852011-11-29T01:04:00.009-07:002011-11-29T01:40:43.055-07:00Chevron FeverThese days I have some time on my hands, for how long who knows... So, I need to move upstairs into the large bedroom. I feel this room is rather plain, as I had rented it out and didn't really decorate it, but now it's my room and it needs some colour! Most of my home is white with hints of turquoise or some form of blue.<div><br /></div><div>Argh!!! The main word being COLOUR! Here are the choices below; oh, did I mention that I'm doing stripes? Chevron stripes to be more exact. It took me two hours to measure up and do one stripe, hopefully it will be done by the weekend!</div><div><br /></div><div>Sorry for the poor photo in which I took at midnight.

It's got me nostalgic for my childhood in London. I was a Brownie and faithfully every Tuesday night there I was ready to pledge my Brownie promise:<br /><dl><dd>I promise that I will do my best,</dd><dd>To love my God,</dd><dd>To serve the Queen and my country,</dd><dd>To help other people,</dd><dd>And to keep the Brownie Guide Law.</dd></dl>I think I was there to play the games and earn my badges as well as meet my friends. I have some precious memories; one of them was the celebration of Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding. We had a mock wedding celebration in which each of us had to draw names from a hat. I was Earl Spencer, Diana's father and sported a moustache, even thought he didn't have one my mum felt it was the only way for people to know that I was a man! I loved that day and even the prep - my friend Alicia was Prince Charles, her mum came up with the idea to use lollipops for medals ~ ingenious!!! We even had a cake for the party!!!<br /><br />Anyway I'm proud to be British even though I no longer live there and I'll always be a Londoner because I think of her wherever I go!<br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3c9D1EXtOt4?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" width="425"></iframe>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140614165315823881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278750.post-17172237927341482812011-02-02T19:43:00.003-07:002011-02-02T19:52:29.749-07:00Happy Year of the Rabbit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZh_v-yCL966FMmzg0HDIuQSx8TjhwlAxBCHNK7OaXbNCCiX9rGnsOl_Q8K-Zg7nnY5Jpunmf00HS7W7hAa-XQreyT6nb3MLqJwq9wKCz5Dr1qycMEwQGM_R3sFJ01akx1vjlimQ/s1600/Picture+6.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 312px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZh_v-yCL966FMmzg0HDIuQSx8TjhwlAxBCHNK7OaXbNCCiX9rGnsOl_Q8K-Zg7nnY5Jpunmf00HS7W7hAa-XQreyT6nb3MLqJwq9wKCz5Dr1qycMEwQGM_R3sFJ01akx1vjlimQ/s400/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569288731797191458" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful lunar new year!!!<br /><br /><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">새 해 복 많이 받으세요<br /></span></span>Kung Hei Fat Choi<br />Xin Nian Kuai Le<br /></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140614165315823881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278750.post-28200900568639643962011-01-24T22:21:00.002-07:002011-01-24T22:23:20.539-07:00Oh Monday!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcCbvG2jrW-mFRvAyZ8HkmYb6SrT1fSA3pfdklydrjv_JvKFTRZ5rpe2WHYo5VEMtxEJnl6xMIsppp18fiZ6Mcrr50QAiqM-vnP0inD2lbdzxTJ9aleLLg4JN3Up83VC9f4tj7jg/s1600/Picture+13.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcCbvG2jrW-mFRvAyZ8HkmYb6SrT1fSA3pfdklydrjv_JvKFTRZ5rpe2WHYo5VEMtxEJnl6xMIsppp18fiZ6Mcrr50QAiqM-vnP0inD2lbdzxTJ9aleLLg4JN3Up83VC9f4tj7jg/s400/Picture+13.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565989699004528946" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not normally a Monday hater, but today was certainly a blue day.

I've been thinking to enter the <a href="http://sites.kidrobot.com/munnymunth/entries.php">Munny competition</a> and I really don't have much time to think as I have little time to act. So I did some supply shopping and cleaned the studio up to make space, so now it's time to buckle down and start working.<br /><br />I've been admiring just the shape of Munny and it seems to be really quiet right now, I have what it wants to be when it grows up and slowly it's finding it's voice.<br /><br />Here's a sketch I quickly put together.

Sept 23One of the teachers at work was talking about an artist friend that she admired and how he without fail would produce a drawing or a painting everyday. This is something that I have tried and failed on many occasions and I too admire the diligence and passion an artist has to upkeep the practice.<br /><br />So surfing around as I usually do I came across <a href="http://aestheticoutburst.blogspot.com/">Aesthetic Outburst</a>'s blog and was inspired by other artists who drew what they wore <a href="http://aestheticoutburst.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-i-wore-today.html">today</a>. Simple and an effective way to keep the daily drawing challenge going. So below is my attempt as I felt like a queen today with what I wore :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrjVeNTIvt536_DHTriw4jtJyR7D5KzjvVlzlGpkCejawXe-ha4DL69Sze4Jxc_wbS3lJt_ll5ie5He-hSo6g4oMMMzlH4RG76HersfC7EH_KjOMrSnizBy7MnP9B2KSvZogyvpA/s1600-h/What+I+wore+Sept+23.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrjVeNTIvt536_DHTriw4jtJyR7D5KzjvVlzlGpkCejawXe-ha4DL69Sze4Jxc_wbS3lJt_ll5ie5He-hSo6g4oMMMzlH4RG76HersfC7EH_KjOMrSnizBy7MnP9B2KSvZogyvpA/s400/What+I+wore+Sept+23.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384910818800972002" border="0" /></a>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140614165315823881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278750.post-5878626634061791662009-09-22T21:28:00.005-06:002009-09-22T21:36:18.126-06:00One Giant Step Closer!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1MVM_fw7bAnHM5woN7iGBc5sFHHjBy5fyTonuR30McTQyK3qmw5d73Rz6zUu1E7WkM1uFahdvQ_2_R_xdrC8roeiBRBh6LWIxEBU1v-A6wJSxbKZ_-3ladDqcpBajMME7A6sjg/s1600-h/Picture+31.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1MVM_fw7bAnHM5woN7iGBc5sFHHjBy5fyTonuR30McTQyK3qmw5d73Rz6zUu1E7WkM1uFahdvQ_2_R_xdrC8roeiBRBh6LWIxEBU1v-A6wJSxbKZ_-3ladDqcpBajMME7A6sjg/s400/Picture+31.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384501055791789554" border="0" /></a><br />Slowly but surely I will be moving into my new home. I already started packing and hopefully the closing of the above home will go smoothly to start feeling excited. So far I'm still being reserved as it's been a roller coaster of emotions recently. I advise when looking for a house to go with someone, it's no fun alone especially for someone who can't make snappy decisions.<br /><br />I'm also busily looking for furniture as I need to furnish a three bedroom home and get some students in as soon as I can. So if you have stuff, give me a shout :)Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02140614165315823881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12278750.post-65239986719731189172009-07-30T22:08:00.006-06:002009-07-30T22:26:44.548-06:00Home where art thou home?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3_7rSat4eUd0aI5ClBd8svdYGjIweFtqYrd-GIVkCoVxib8s3PLGUBQJ7cU3j7f4jimB_pFKQ7VeBKPGpfl7weevGSW0DJ-nFk49VNa3yuWl_FAq6i-525wFt_HaPWxTgjOyjA/s1600-h/Picture+5.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj3_7rSat4eUd0aI5ClBd8svdYGjIweFtqYrd-GIVkCoVxib8s3PLGUBQJ7cU3j7f4jimB_pFKQ7VeBKPGpfl7weevGSW0DJ-nFk49VNa3yuWl_FAq6i-525wFt_HaPWxTgjOyjA/s400/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364471479035816626" border="0" /></a>Well, I did find a house that I liked, put in an offer but didn't go through. I was a bit upset with how the realtor for the seller behaved. My realtor spent the day trying to contact the realtor after faxing the offer the night before and only after she talked to his manager did she hear from him.<br /><br />The realtor was pretty blunt saying that they recieved the same offer earlier. Well it wasn't from me, as this is my first time to buy a home. He hadn't even told his client about it and said that he wasn't going to even bother with this offer. How rude!!! I did give a low offer, only because I need to redo the roof as it shows it's age as well as the flooring.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Oh well, there's a better house out there :)<br /></div><br />In the mean time until I find a home, what inspires me is a pop of pink amongst the clean white and turquoise with black lines.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iE6n12d24Ce0wJynroPQw-anhlKf2UCaUdJXzOH6b-7DvihsWYqf-eCCpky57jfwLrtdbE0dfm0rbJkyV04ovzajElnS8wpzKuI0sJVKcyGtrgXcbc5CB1jljnVeXz4MPbdLhg/s1600-h/Pop+of+pink.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iE6n12d24Ce0wJynroPQw-anhlKf2UCaUdJXzOH6b-7DvihsWYqf-eCCpky57jfwLrtdbE0dfm0rbJkyV04ovzajElnS8wpzKuI0sJVKcyGtrgXcbc5CB1jljnVeXz4MPbdLhg/s400/Pop+of+pink.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364474940127048578" border="0" /></a><br />Or a nice clean white and well organized kitchen, I would love to have a wall painted with blackboard paint.
