Going on an Affordable Barbados Travel

I’m not really a jetsetter and I’m not into the partying scene, but this Valentines, I swear to change all these boring perceptions about my personality. There’s no harm in being adventurous and spontaneous especially if it’s for a good cause of saving my marriage. So this Valentines, no matter how busy I am with work, I will spare some time to go on an affordable Barbados travel with my better half.

Hotel in Barbados

My husband and I have not been in good terms for the past few months, but our friends have no idea about our marital problems. It’s sick really because I feel like we are lying to everyone about how happy our life together has been all these years when in fact, we have both been empty majority of our time with each other. I don’t want to think about divorce as a viable option to solve this problem that’s why I’m doing everything to rekindle whatever passion or compassion we have for each other.

It was a good thing I found an affordable Barbados travel deal because I don’t want it to be another point if argument. I don’t want him to blame me for financial burdens because of the money we spent on the trip. Now that everything is settled and we are just waiting for the travel flight, I’m really hoping that nothing would take the plan and spin it around. I am trying to prevent having little and petty arguments with him by simply shutting my mouth every time he goes on a barrage of insults on how I manage our home, our kids, and my time between family and career. I really want this marriage to work to the point that I am willing to lose arguments and do everything that will make him stay. This trip to Barbados is exactly what we need to patch things between us.

My Future Lies in Elearning

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/e-learning-12.jpg


A few months from now, I’ll be 26, a quarter of a century old. I don’t really care about the number that much or the wrinkles and age spots that come with the stupid biological time bomb. Come to think of it, I don’t really care about anything except for one thing probably – wasted time. Yes, I think I have wasted a whole 26 years of my existence doing nothing but sleepwalking through life.

But things weren’t like this a few years ago. I used to have a goal – to finish my graduate studies and live as an academic for the rest of my life. Somehow, I lost my mojo to continue it and well, there is also the need to work for money so I decided that my master’s degree should take a back seat. During my hiatus from graduate studies, I wondered aimlessly through the corporate clouds but the desire to go back to school has always been there.

Right now, I’m still in that same limbo state. Grey area is what they call it. I guess that only chance I have to go back to school again is if I could enroll in some elearning program related to my discipline. I’m planning to contact my University and inquire about their online courses since it would mean more work and requirement processing if I transfer to a different institution. I just hope I can make it before the registration period ends. So yeah. Technically, my future lies in my University’s elearning program. If they won’t accept me, I would not know how else I could finish my program.



If only I have the luxury of time and money, I would not have to settle for something with less interaction. I would want to relive the daily drives going to school, sitting inside the classroom, physically being present in a real moment with people in my class and not just a computer equipped with a face-to-face interaction elearning system.
