Today, I had to go back to work. It’s really taxing after a long holiday.
# Airfare ticket price
I tried to find a flight that fits my schedule and should also have a reasonable price. Whenever I searched 2 or more times, the prices keep soaring compared to the first time I looked for it. I tried clearing my cache and even restarting my PC and I tried to search again, but the moment the price increased, it was still higher than before. I even tried changing PCs 3 times and I tried using the airlines homepage but it was all the same. How do they even come up with this kind of function on their websites? In the last 2 hours that I’ve been searching, the same airplane ticket had increasing its pricing to more than a hundred USD.

#Morning meeting #Request a meeting
#Foreign business trip
I requested to have an audience with the person I’ll be with on my business travel. She’s from a different department and it’s the first time I’ll be with her. Since this trip will have 3 people going to it and all of them are from the upper management. I’ve had some problem arranging the meeting since there’s so little channels I can contact them with.
I had to be creative. So I sought for a meeting and laid down the details to them. She gave me an idea how to arrange appointments. That’s exactly what I wanted. I was ecstatic to hear that.
Most of my anxiety disappeared.
#An Official Demonstration
This is my second official English demonstration in front of a crowd. A total of 8 different people from various Asian countries (Indonesians, Filipinos, and etc.) were my audience. I wasn’t feeling well because of piled-up stress, overtime-work, and from not having enough rest. Before my demonstration, I ate a 99% cacao chocolate to make my blood running and I also took some pills to settle down my stomach. The demonstration went well. The audience was active and listened well in the class.
There are two things that I felt a little bit sad because I didn’t know about them. I was not in a perfect condition and when the boss said to choose the cards that can be emphasize using the ABC learning, I was embarrassed and thought that I had no choice but to choose. The second thing was that I didn’t realize that I could’ve done a lot of interactive activities for 20 and 30 minutes. I could have had prepare for more activities.
