oh naw! that english festival was being held last sunday. but before that, our instructor reminded us to come early at 8 o'clock in the morning. eh, that was sunday and it should be a resting day for me and to all of us. so i came late at ten. when i reached in the school gymnasium, i saw his face frowning and pouted lips. he was not in the good mood. and i came to knew later on that i was the reason of his temper and bad mood . is he reasonable enough for acting so? oh yes, i have roles to and obligations there as he assigned me to operate the laptop as it was connected to the lcd for viewing purposes of course. but eh, i can manage that one, aside from that, the program will start at three p.m at noon. he murmured to me twice that i came late that i am the one who will operate the laptop. for myself, it was funny like that, but i think he is not reasonable much. i do not think i am abusing his kindness to me - maybe he thought sort of thing like that. well as to myself, i knew what i am doing. even i did not able to came at early of time, i was certain that i can coped with my responsibilities. i just hate the thought that he was annoyed of me because of that not to count all the things i did for that festival grrrr.... as of this moment, i hate him for that. what do you think, am i guilty or not?

Hmm, you did have an understanding that you should be there at an agreed time. I know rest days are very important to us all, especially Sundays wherein for a lot of us it's a day for family. Yet, since you have agreed to it, I think you had thus an obligation to fulfill. Think of it as an act of professionalism, which you would eventually practice when you graduate and work. But as to how your teacher reacted, well, I feel he also failed to act in a professional manner. Frowning and pouting and letting one's bad mood show are unprofessional things. So I guess both of you had some shortcomings. But hey, we all do. The important thing is we learn from these things

:) oh em gee. as i thought so, that half of it or three - fourth of it was my real mistakes. but just hard to admit it. i just want to laugh when seeing him frowning. as if we are really intimidatingly close friends with each one. maybe he treated me so or i do not know. i knew this kind of person that if he likes a person, he really likes him/her and that if he do not, he really do not. hmmm such a proud man. yes, you are right, i understood professionalism but he should be considerate that we too, will get tired and need rest especially on Sundays. hmmm... i still came for i know need to do the tasks he assigned me. i admit, my mistake but he needs to be considerate as well. funny really, because till afternoon he was still annoyed at me hahahah.... thanks for the reminding me :) owe you

yes, you are right. he is now in good mood as we met this time for our final examinations. he called me to take a glance on the program page i made for him. i must admit that i did not came in time as he expected me to be there, but i need him to trust me even i failed him for not being punctual that i can do what he wanted me to do. gee... but it is okay, i learned lessons for that. at least i can be earlier in next time round. and you are correct balipromo thanks :)

Well, I've always been taught that in appointments, punctuality is the first rule from having to respect. But in your case the issue is a bit different. First of all because it was Sunday, so there was obviously a matter of work, and above all, the things done during holidays, to be taken a little lightly. However, I do not know what kind of party you are doing, you tell me about a gym? That said I conclude by saying that on the one hand, it is your responsibility to check out from the set presented outside, but on the other hand maybe your instructor has taken this lack from you, too drastically. Be fifty / fifty!

it is because from monday to saturday i was in school. wasn't it tiring? gee, i need a day for relaxation. it was an english festival where we were being assigned what to do during a presentation. for example, singing, storytelling, jazz chant and etc. yes, you are right, that he must take it lightly and not drastically. but glad were okay now.. thanks for joining :)

well its a really common situation. i think we must be a little guilty for not reaching on time. that way we can mend our ways and follow routine. its always nice to be punctual, specially when it may affect others. but i do understand how important sleep is. i just love sleeping. few times i reached late for my exam. i know that we could go half an hour late, so i used to usitilise that extra half hour for my sleep.

thanks for understanding even if i was guilty at that. but you know, i was late because not to carry my own chair, i already knew what to do to his given tasks to me. all he need is to trust me. he was so angry because of little reason but i know being punctual is recommended if we wanted to be trusted upon and to say ourselves that we can be relied on. just little consideration is needed. and that irritated me a bit. but were okay now. he spoke with me this time and glad he was happy with the output of his given tasks to me. thanks for joining in here:O)
