Titsah Xyla
I find it amusing whenever my Korean students call me Titsah Xyla rather than Teacher Xyla. 1 What makes me more amused is that I never thought I would be called Teacher Xyla in my life. Yeah, I once dreamed of becoming a teacher but hearing my name with the word teacher at the beginning feels a bit weird. Haha! Oh, by the way… I am hired. :)
That’s the good news. The sad thing about it is that I can’t take the full-time position because of my MA’s2 schedule. I have no choice but to take the part-time position instead of just letting all this go. Like what I said in my previous entry, I need some money to support my needs for my MA3. That is why.
So far, I am enjoying my stay there. I am enjoying teaching my 13-year-old student. She’s very funny and talkative. Her name is Rin. We had a deal that she will study our lesson really hard while I try to learn their language. I guess that makes our class more fun. I just feel sad today because I learned that I won’t be handling her anymore starting tomorrow. It’s because of conflict in schedule. Sad sad sad. :(
The other two students that I am teaching are older than me by one year. They’re cool guys. One loves sports while the other likes music. They’re friends. Randolph, the one who’s into sports, asked me what’s the best bar or club here in the Philippines that I could recommend for him. Haha! I told him though that I don’t really go to clubs so I can not recommend him any. I am teaching them intermediate grammar so every now and then I study grammar. The best thing about this job is that I am learning while I am teaching.
I know that I won’t be staying long in this school because I have a different path to take. So for now, I’ll just enjoy every day of my life as Titsah Xyla.
My name is Xyla, a 24-year-old Filipina unemployed registered nurse. I am a freelance writer for a nursing magazine of a review center. I aim to be a nurse leader in the future. With only 12 units left in my Master's Degree (Major in Medical-Surgical Nursing), I am ready to teach nursing students. During my past time, I kill Zombies, plant Cherry Bombs, Marigold and Melon Pult and make cheesy stuff for my boyfriend. I firmly justify that I am not too old for Glee-addiction. I hate prepositions. They make my life complicated.
it’s really fun teaching no. parang napaka rewarding kapag nakita mo na yung student mo natututo. welcome to the teaching world xy! =)

Hello Xyla! I love the kids you’re handling! They look so cute. ^^
By the way, the identifiers you have are nice! That’s a good idea and I am planning to maybe mimic a good blogging strategy such as that. ^^ I know how to use identifiers; it’s just like the “To the top” buttons. XD
Anyway, i’m talking gibberish! HAHA Keep on blogging ate xy! XD
