Hello my dear fellow hivers! Hello to this lovely @hiveph community! This is me again, "LJ" to share another wonderful life story with you all.
Today is Wednesday, and just like the past few days, I started my morning in full work mode. I had a pile of paperwork waiting for me, and I wanted to finish everything as early as possible so I could focus on other tasks later.
Thankfully, I managed to accomplish everything smoothly. After setting aside the last file, I suddenly remembered something that made me a little excited. I had a set of eyelash extensions I bought from Tiktok Shop the other week. Since I had a bit of free time, I decided to put them on. I really like this product because it's easy to use, looks natural, and the best part is that it lasts up to a week on me. It felt nice to treat myself even the middle of a busy day.
Not long after, one of the students came to our office to announce a special surprise. They shared that there was a free foot spa and other pampering services being offered to all teaching and non-teaching staff in celebration of World Teachers' Day. I thought it was such a sweet gesture, and of course, I didn't want to miss the chance to experience it. I asked some of my colleagues if they wanted to go with me, and together we headed to the designated spa room.
When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the students who had prepared everything. They were so attentive and eager to assist, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt refreshing to be taken care of, especially by students who wanted to show their appreciation. I realized then how thoughtful these young people were, and it made me proud to be part of a profession that inspires them to give back in their own little ways.
Since it had been a while since I last had my nails cleaned, I also took the chance to get a cleaning session. It felt so relaxing and refreshing, almost like a reset after days of work. What made the moment even more heartwarming was seeing the joy on the students' faces as they served us. I could tell they genuinely wanted us to feel appreciated.
Before I left, I decided to give a small tip, just enough for them to buy snacks and enjoy. When I handed it over, their faces instantly lit up with happiness, and they kept thanking me. It wasn't much, but it was a simple way to show my gratitude for their effort and kindness.
Overall, this midweek surprise turned out to be such a memorable one. What started as just another ordinary Wednesday at work became a day of self-care, appreciation, and meaningful connection with students. Truly, small acts of kindness can turn an ordinary day into something special.
And that's it for today's blog! Thank you for droppin' by and I hope you guys like my life story for today. See you on my next one. Have a nice day ahead to all of us!
