Kick @ Work

Thanks God it's Friday! But I'm not that excited though, I have to work tomorrow. Whewww... but it's OK not all are lucky to have extra income and I must bear that in mind all the time. But I can't be like this forever working, work and work and work!!!

I want to be financially free so I could have time for myself. Waking  up late is already a luxury for me and sometimes I can't afford it. I hope time will come I have to own 100% of my time and devote it in doing things that I love to do. Don't get me wrong I love my work but the case is I'm over worked. I've been working 12 hours a day and it's taxing me to the hilt. I'm duplicating myself to support my family and it's hard to be the sole bread winner of the family. I feel like I don't have time for myself anymore. Reading books which is one of my passions seem to be a luxury too but I really work hard on finding time to read and to educate myself.

High School classes every Friday. I caught one of my students reading pocketbooks. I told her why not read books about famous and inspiring people, who are worth emulating instead reading romantic stories. Well she just stared at me as if telling me I'm nuts. Sometimes I regret wasting my time reading thick pocketbooks way back then. I was a  pocketbook addict. The only thing I'm thankful by reading those stuffs is my word power broadened. The subliminal messages in romantic pocketbooks are dangerous. It can be unconsconciously embedded in someone's subconscious especially the wrong notion about what true love is. That's why now I really discourage reading romantic pocketbooks especially for teenagers. These stuffs would only fuel some people's love hunger and sometimes would lead them to the bitter path of disillusionment and heartaches.

Enough about love... This morning I chatted with the school's cleaner while she's mopping the floor of the faculty room. She told me how hard her work is and I know it is. She's old and working all day cleaning, mopping, washing, and taking care of the young students in school. She told me her salary is just a measly 4,300 baht. I pity her and I sympathized to her sentiments. And I said to myself I don't want to be like her, chanting about unlucky fate. Someone quote this: "Sometimes people are where they are because it's where they want to be."  I don't want to be tired forever and hankering for holidays and rest so I must work hard to obtain financial freedom...

By the way, I can't help admiring a seven year old girl. She's awesome her agile moves and kicks make me think of learning tae kwon do again, as a form of exercise and it's a great self defense too. I miss my PE days in West V. especially my tae kwon do class. I want to feel again how is it to do some round house kicks, ax kicks the old stuff I learned. I want to work on my flexibility and cardiovascular endurance. I'm not getting any younger and I need to be physically fit. Hmmm I could study tae kwon do for free in the club at school but sad to say I'm not free I have to teach. :(

Well if I can't practice kicking in the real tae kwon do class I can kick at work and break a leg! Have a blessed weekend, God bless!

P.S. Let me share my thoughts, before I thought having a husband, children or family is the ultimate end of finding love or journey into love. You'll find someone, marry, have kids, it's already a family and that's it. Hmmm I've changed my mind, there's more to life than that. But of course who doesn't want to have kids and wonderful family? Just thinking... =)
