My Daily Activities
I wake up at 4 A. M. I take a bath, wear my clean and fresh cloths.
Then I make my breakfast. It is a tuna sandwich and a glass of lemon water.
After that, I prepare my childrens meal for taking it to school.
After taking my children to their schools, I tidy up the house and
prepare myself to office or to my school. I study at my school from 08.00 up to
11.00 A. M or 11.00 A. M up to 02.00 P. M. I teach at the office after studying.
In the afternoon, usually, I accompany my children to study or taking
them to church if they have activities there. Sometimes, my children, my
husband and I have a little barbeque party in the yard with our relatives on the
week end.
When the children have their nice dream, my husband and I have a
talk about our activities in a day. We make some evaluation, and sometimes we
have a hard debate on something. We usually go to bed around 12.30 or 02.00
A. M.
My Experience
This story is about my first working
experience. I was graduated from Sanata Dharma in
1991. after graduated, I went to Pontianak for having a
kind of relaxation.
Unfortunately, on the forth day, I was asked to
help for work by my aunt neighbour. He was the
branch manager of PT. United Tractors of West
Borneo. Well, finally, I worked at the field I hate most.
Business.
I learned how to work with men. And I loved
it. I learned how to be a secretary, to be an assistant of
salesmen, to be a fotocopy officer, to be a seller and to
be a decision maker of the branch managers
problems. It was fun.
I learned many things from everybody there. I
love to work with men, but I do not like business.
Thats why I quit from that company. But, I am gratefull
having this working experiences.
MY PLAN
I will have a very nice experience two weeks later. I, together with my
children and some more kids are going to Semarang. We will go there by bus.
There will be 20 children, 5 catholic young people and 10 adults. We are going
to have a mini charity events there.
The children will promote their religion songs album, and the money
are going to be used for renovating the local church building. The children
and catholic young people will have a show. They are going to play music and
sing their songs.
We are not going to be paid, for the Only God has paid us already by
giving us the ability of sharing and caring to others. The children are always
happy and healthy. That is one ways of our children learning how to live.
Knowing, sharing and caring.
Happy learning.
and
Have nice day!
