Assignment#3 : Stress

What were the most stressful periods of your life? WARNING! LONG STORY. There were several downs in my life but I guess 2016 was the most terrible year I have had. I got into a shipping company even before graduation. As a maritime university graduate student, I preferred to work in shipping industry. However, I've forgotten one thing: The people in this field are very, very conservative. I went to a business trip to China with co-worker last April. He is a married man and I had good impression on him. However, that didn't go any longer because he sexually harassed me. Both in words, and in action. He was totally drunk and good thing I wasn't. I should have immediately reported to the supervisor in head office. But I was afraid for he didn't remember any. Even if I confront him, he would completely ignore me. And I got no proofs at all.

Assignment #2

My reflection  after watching a video of myself answering the question: "What makes you angry? Why?" When I was grade 7, I had first experience of answering question with a time limit. It was impromptu speech. I was asked to pick a paper from a jar which about 30 rolled questions were inside and I do still remember the question - "Do you share your happiness and sadness with your beloved ones?"

A gap of 5 years not practicing English was a disaster. For I am aware of my quality of speech, seeing myself in video was like uhmm..... I'm doing this because it's an assignment! Yes I should evaluate myself in a KIND way... Anyway, here goes cynical observation. 1. Grammatical error ex. more happier, te

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/10/europe/pope-married-men-priests/index.html Since I know everyone is going to post about impeachment of Park, I will deal with totally different issue. The above link is the news about Pope Francis' idea about opening a married man becoming a priest. As a Roman Catholic, this is kind of shocking news, because this is UNBELIEVABLE. I completed my primary and secondary education in a Catholic School in Philippines. One thing I admired with the priests was that they give up their marriage to serve God, including reproduction. And to be honest, I had pride in those celibated priests telling my Protestant friends that Catholic and Protestant are totally different although both came from same root. I don't think it's proper for a married man becoming a priest even with the wife's permission. My Catholic  teachers taught me that sex is the highest expression of love between married couple. Then what's happening to married priest's ma
