June Be Good



'Tis the season of June brides and non-stop rain.  Oh well, the rainy season is officially up and It's two more weeks to go before I bid the month of June adieu.


The June-March academic calendar is getting started for most schools in the country but not for my 8-year-old niece, thank God because she's not over with her vacation yet. Some schools adopted the new academic calendar to begin in August instead of June to avoid the height of the rainy season. Things are gonna change around here a little because my siblings and I agreed that our niece will stay with us from now on to keep her grades up and help with her studies. I hope that she'll get comfortable with her new school and have nice friends too.


I hope the month of June is gonna be a promising month for me. This whole freelance online English teaching is not working too well for me but it's worth a try so I know how it works. I've been teaching English to Japanese students for quite some time now. At the moment I only have one regular student would you believe it? I get paid Php120 per 50 minutes so imagine how little I'm earning in a month if my student will book a 25-minute class once a week, not even enough to pay my Internet bill. What I like about doing freelance work is that I have the freedom to choose when I'd like to work. It's good to have it on the side that's why I'm keeping it.


I'm really thankful for having a house that's accessible to work and everything. I've rented for a long time and it's never practical, you only make the tenant richer but at the end of the day, it's never gonna be yours unless it's a rent to own kinda thing. 


My mom's 3rd year death anniversary is coming up that's why June is also one of the most important months for me. It's been 3 years since she passed and she's turning 70 next month if she was alive. she's looking after us, I know for sure.


Time flies.
