- Thu, 22:53: At the end of every week, we ask our trainees to answer a trainer facilitation survey. These comments were from last week's class. I can't believe they all gave me a perfect score. I was teaching the class solo, while my co-faciliator helped me virtually by doing all admin stuff. https://t.co/bGwG03ju9p

- Tue, 22:21: My mentor from last month assisted me today with my trainees' initial assessment. He just listened in virtually, and while I was talking to the trainees, he sent this message. For someone who got rattled on her 2nd and 3rd week, this was a major compliment for me. 😊 https://t.co/HqLrnPIZGw

- Mon, 12:56: Ang tamad magtrabaho today. Class prep lang ang agenda sa calendar ko, as I was already T3-ed on this particular account.
- Mon, 12:58: I miss this. Fave ko pa man din yung nachos with salsa. https://t.co/aIXT9cSUmu
- Mon, 12:59: Nakakastress marinig yung emergency alert. Twice na just this morning. People's phones also went off in the middle of mass yesterday.
- Mon, 17:42: Sana makarating ako sa Greenery Kitchen before closing time later. Sana keribells mag honda dito sa office today.
- Mon, 21:35: Minsan talaga (well, madalas), nate-test ang level of patience, tolerance, and all other related virtues when a person that annoys you has the worst grammar ever. Lalo na when what you do for a living is to make sure people speak proper English. Ang hirap to be like You, Lord.

- Sun, 10:17: I just realized that I can now easily switch from my "normal voice" to my "trainer voice" whenever I have to converse in English. When I was still in ESL, I was either just hesitant, or have no neutral accent. Bakit kasi Chinese na grad student yung kasayaw ni Julie kahapon. 😅
- Sun, 18:02: After attending the Feast, paubos na ang social battery ko, but glad to join @calalalai, Abel, and Bea for a late lunch.
- Sun, 18:03: The good thing about having cinemas at the small mall next door to where I live is that there is not a lot of people around. Time to watch The Super Mario Bros Movie. 😊
- Sun, 20:11: Thank you, Super Mario Bros Movie, for bringing me back to my childhood with the 80s music, the platform game arenas, and yes, the karts and the Rainbow Road. 🥰 You have finally redeemed the Super Mario franchise after that horrible movie that came out in the 90s. 😆

- Fri, 22:43: This week's class was kinda draining. Don't get me wrong, they were very active and conversational, but they tend to overthink the simple things. I think they got overwhelmed by seeing a lot of information in one page.
- Fri, 22:46: I am reminded again that there's a big difference between a trainer and my experience as an ESL trainer. While we had to be nice ALL THE TIME as a teacher, I need to be more strict and first as a trainer. Mahina pa ako mag call out pag may pasaway, but I still do my best.
- Sat, 09:51: WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣 https://t.co/vknlUKkpfd

- Thu, 20:53: My co-faciliator this week, who is working with me virtually while in Cebu, would always address me as "frieeeeeend." Hindi ako sanay na hindi si @KristinaAd_ ang nagsasabi nun, hahaha. 😅

- Mon, 21:08: Happiness in 24 Chicken the night before my first solo class.
- Mon, 21:37: Just watched Jessica Lee's latest Paborito video, in Espa�a. When I studied fine arts in UST for a year, I was very picky. I always went to the same places, like Goldilocks, Jollibee, and if I'm feeling fancy, Shakey's. Mostly fast food, if I don't buy carinderia dorm food.
- Mon, 22:17: Gelo: Ready ka na bukas? Me: (laughs) Gelo: Parang halos wala akong nakikitang trainer na hindi kinakabahan sa first solo class. My supervisor cannot tell my nervous laughter from my real laughter yet. 😅
- Tue, 14:08: First day doing a solo class. https://t.co/FstE7xoyAk

- Sat, 17:20: Every time I get a hair cut, I always get it done at Bench Fix, then I hop over to the Revlon booth for color. Yes, that's always been my tipid haircut routine. https://t.co/ysEp0AUpB1
- Sat, 22:58: Watching the old Sabrina the Teenage Witch from 1996, the one that came before the series. I forgot that Ryan Reynolds was in it as Sabrina's object of infatuation. So cute. 😍

- Sat, 11:15: At the bridgeway yesterday, I was about to go back to the reception hall when @vanyacastor asked me to stay for the next song. @issarodriguezzz started singing "Have Your Way", which always left me emotional in so many ways due to certain experiences. Thank you, ladies. 💖 https://t.co/LFFq7p1R1m

- Thu, 19:38: Kaladkarin mode after Day 1 of the Holy Week Retreat. Anel offered to give me a ride home, but we, along with Gail, also offered to bring a fellow sister servant home. As it turned out, she's Gerry's mom. Ayan, may pabaon kaming snack when we dropped her off. Thank youuuu!
- Fri, 13:29: At the bridgeway, I told @vanyacastor of a Vietnamese resto we went to yesterday, because I remembered she loves pho. Vanya: May mare-recommend ka bang... jowa? Ay, sa Good Friday talaga naging witty. 😆😂
- Fri, 13:44: Came home to champorado with dilis and fried pusit. 💖
- Fri, 13:51: Another blessing of a ride home today, this time to LP, courtesy of a new neighbor. Thanks loads, @candidlyariane! 🥰

- Tue, 22:10: Realizations these past few weeks. While it's okay to have a fellow pacesetter while being mentored by an L2, it's definitely not okay if that other person has no sense of urgency when it comes to time.
- Tue, 22:11: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/1pck37tQYf

- Mon, 20:32: Got assigned to the Techzone site today. Realizing that the Makati sites have their own pros and cons. I love the open space in ALC, but less accessible, and there's not much to choose from when it comes to food. TZN has a smaller L&D office, but it's way more accessible.
- Mon, 20:48: Yung samgyup express silog ng Gotobox ay parang bacon silog, with the bacon cooked with gochujang. As a bacon lover, keribells na, hahaha. 😅 Ketchup lang yang sauce, and the soup has a weird sweetness to it. https://t.co/VRVcE8uGir
- Mon, 21:20: RS: Can you say "PST"? Me: PST. Shai: PST. I think he was testing how we pronounced the "T". Thank goodness for vocal exercises in an acting workshop with Roeder, I got very particular with pronouncing T sounds. 😊
- Mon, 22:48: Happy World Theatre Day! After leaving the theatre industry many years ago, God never forgot my passion and made ways for me to utilize my talent as forms of service. https://t.co/kwNo2omkMD

- Sun, 20:01: Sunday mornings are always good times to practice at the studio because hardly anyone goes at that time. Earlier today, it was just the six of us from Team Leo. It was nice because while we each practiced on our own, there's always at least one other couple observing. https://t.co/1qKnTxYjKp
- Sun, 20:14: Our tango's short line. I thought this was a video from yesterday's class because Joms had shared it with the rest of the photos and videos. Apparently this was a video that Iking took from our practice the previous week. I liked how sharper we got, but lots more to improve on. https://t.co/lfTaydqpgO

- Sun, 00:54: Back to Saturday class earlier. It was kind of awkward that I was the only one who didn't have a partner in class, as Kuya Gilbert had an Argentine tango workshop with Ma'am Gigi and a couple of others. But he managed to catch up at the latter part so we could practice.
- Sun, 01:00: Dinner with @blancheeta_ and Coco and a big bunch of their friends after class. Ang saya lang. After dinner, it was Afro-Latin dancing time at Chihuahua. I haven't done this in ages, and I was soooo rusty, but I had so much fun social dancing with a lot of people.

- Wed, 21:32: Our mentor gave the floor to us today. Things got pretty rocky when we managed to finish each of our 4-hour topics in 2 hours. Kaloka pa na my part included a game that listed medical and dental terms I didn't even know existed before. Thank goodness I looked them up last night.
- Wed, 21:58: Napabili ng samgyupsal ros� pasta after today's first real trainer experience. Such a good but affordable pick-me-up. https://t.co/CnGMEyVzHI
