A well-spent 5-day holiday

Chinese holidays are quite different with the ones we have back home. Philippines usually have short holidays whereas here, it sometimes lasts for a few days up to a month (e.g. Chinese New Year).

Working in a language school, we sometimes don't follow the exact number of days for some of the holidays because we usually adjust to our students' holiday schedule in their regular schools. Schools in China like doing make-up classes. Whenever there's a holiday and there's no classes on those days, they make sure to have advance make-up classes for the kids. When regular schools do that, class schedule in our school gets affected. So we also need to adjust our schedule to make sure that we still stay on schedule.

Since we're expected to work on May 1st, the school decided to give us a 5-day holiday from April 26 - 30. The first day of our break, the Aston gang decided to go bowling and had dinner outdoors. 

Easy to do stylish buns

I have discovered a new way to twist and bun my hair. Simply follow these simple steps and you’ll soon have stylish buns-from loose to tight buns:
1. Gather your hair into a low or high ponytail.
2. Twist your hair into a bun and tuck in the ends.
3. Place bun spiral onto your bun, purple tips towards head. Gently twist clockwise into hair until secure.
Have a stylish spring/summer!!!








Another year younger for me

What I love about celebrating my birthday is that the more I get older, the more I enjoy life and the company that comes with it. Plus the fact that even though I am getting old, I never look old. It's a gift, I know.
