A Day Full of Little Turns: From Classrooms to Late-Night Thoughts

-

 Tuesday, January 28, 2025



Today seems like a simple day on the surface, but it is actually full of little twists and turns.

The morning started off quite productively as it was my schedule as a student teacher assistant . I spent most of my time assisting the student teachers who were teaching. I enjoyed this task because there was a certain satisfaction in helping students and being a part of the learning process, even though my contribution was still in small ways for now.

After that, I took a short break around noon. Funnily enough, these quiet moments felt so precious amidst the otherwise busy days.

In the afternoon, I returned to the high school lab to accompany my female friend who had to meet with our cooperative teacher to discuss the lesson plan. What we initially thought would be a simple discussion turned into a series of questions, revisions, and clarifications. There were confusing moments, some laughs, and of course some valuable lessons learned.

That evening, we had a meeting to plan the upcoming Saturday. Everyone shared ideas, and we even started planning to go to the market to buy some necessary items, especially cooking ingredients.

After that, it was time to rest. However, for some reason I found it hard to sleep even though my body felt tired. Finally, I and one of my male friends decided to watch a movie together.

Not every day feels extraordinary or dramatic, but even an ordinary Tuesday can feel meaningful in its own way 😊

The first trip to get a passport is full of drama

 The first trip to get a passport is full of drama Applying for a passport for the first time was quite stressful for me, especially since it had to be done simultaneously to get the same schedule. At first I thought everything would just run smoothly, register online, come to the immigration office, take photos, and that's it. Eh, it turned out to be unexpected. Do you want to know more about the story?? Read until the end..😉! Online register drama: Fighting over slots like concert tickets First, my friends and I created an account to enter the online passport service application, we were guided by our experienced lecturer. We aim to arrange regular passports. Initially we were optimistic about getting a slot easily, but it turned out we ran out of slots, both from all areas closest to farthest from our location. We got 4 slots, but when my last friend wanted to take the last slot, suddenly the slots ran out, that's when those of us who had already got slots had to cancel it ...

A Tiring But Memorable Day My first day in Tacloban marked the beginning of a truly memorable adventure. I arrived in the late afternoon with my friends and our lecturer. The airport atmosphere was calm, and we were warmly welcomed by Ma’am Lillian, the SEA-Teacher program coordinator, who personally came to pick us up. Her presence immediately made us feel appreciated and cared for. The journey from the airport to our accommodation took around 2 to 3 hours. Along the way, I observed my surroundings and was pleasantly surprised by how familiar everything felt. The streets, the buildings, even the general atmosphere reminded me of Indonesia, specifically Jakarta in the old days. The public transportation here was quite similar too, though they looked a bit different. Most people relied on public transport, and it was rare to see motorcycles, which was quite interesting. Before reaching our destination, we stopped by a local restaurant called “Jolibe,” which turned out to be a popular sp...

The Charm of a Beautiful Island: Sweet Memories Behind My Seasick

It was supposed to be the perfect vacation—sunshine, the sea, and serenity. Today, my friends and I set off on a long-awaited trip to Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte, Philippines. Known as the site of the first Catholic Mass in the country, Limasawa is more than just a historical landmark. It is a gem of natural beauty, wrapped in white sand, turquoise waters, and warm island breezes. We left early in the morning, accompanied by our coordinator, members of the parents’ association, and their families. Our spirits were high as we made our way to the port, where we waited for our boat to arrive. I hoped that this boat ride would be smoother than the one I had experienced back in Indonesia—but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The gentle rocking of the waves quickly turned into a nightmare for me. Nausea hit hard. I spent most of the journey trying not to pass out while everyone else enjoyed the breathtaking view. But the moment we arrived and stepped onto the island, all that disc...
