So I decided to put up a site. I'm not sure if it's going to work, but I sure do hope so. While I'm developing materials for it, I discovered that I was focused and determined. I even forget to eat or drink water when I'm in the zone. I even installed Articulate eLearning Tools to make my materials "nicer". Although the software looks user friendly, I'm still learning how to use the it. Maybe making training materials is my thing.
Oh well, if I win the lottery, I think I won't stop developing the website and training materials.
I'm getting sidetracked. Here's the link to the website:

English Is a Funny Language
They say "Necessity breeds creativity.". I say, "Desperation forces ingenuity."
When people are trapped in a corner and they have to come up with something to survive, our adrenalin pumps over edge and we either do something stupid or really brilliant. Most of the time brilliant.
And yes, I am desperate. I am trapped in a corner. However, I can't say I will do something brilliant. This may be really really stupid. I have decided to teach English online, as an ESL tutor.
It's a horror! I just heard a creepy background music. I swear! Don't get me wrong. I love the English language. That's why I wanted to be a journalist in the first place and probably ended up as a writer for ESL materials before. However, I've never tried having a job outside of the corporate world. The thought of doing something new scares me.
So I brushed up on the rudiments of the English language and I stumbled across this funny poem:
Indeed, fish, crabs and shrimps are called seafood. But if they come from a stream, river or lake, will they still be called as such?
