FREE AT LAST!!!

ONE MORE CLASS TO GO!!! I'll soon be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....haha!!! Well I know it's gonna sound really geeky but I think I'll actually miss work. I'll miss talking to my students (tarush!)...hehe!

I'm looking forward to going to Tagaytay....I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with my family especially my favorite cousins (Brian and Erika)...I'm looking forward to eating at Jardinero's...I'm looking forward to see lulay Busyang....*sighs* I can't wait 'til Sunday.

I'm not looking forward to going to Loyola...I used to enjoy hanging out in the cemetery...going around, eating street food, hanging out with my cousins...but now I think I'd rather stay home and watch T.V. all day than go to Loyola...I guess I'm really getting old....I no longer enjoy being around thousands of people hanging out around their loved ones tomb stones...cooking barbeque, spying on what your neighbors brought for lunch or dinner, playing music and all the other odd stuff that people do in the cemetery...I definitely don't like being stuck in traffic for hours while trying to get in or out of the cemetery...it's just insane. I'm sure my dead loved ones would understand me if I decide not to go....BUT....I think I'll have no choice...I'm gonna have to still go there unless I want to be kicked out of my family...HEHE!!!

One of my students asked me why I still don't have a boyfriend...hmmmmm....I think that's life's greatest mystery...hehe! I find it interesting that she mentioned that she thinks I'm very attractive based on how I sound...I don't know whether I should be happy about it...it just confirms how beautiful I sound and....unfortunately, how voice can be deceiving...mwahahaha!!!

wala lang

I really don't have anything to write about...just want to write something...hehe! I'm so happy because this day is about to end...I've got three students left...crossing my finger, hoping ever dependable Aileen will be absent again...hehe!

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo broke...I have 50 pesos left in my wallet. I'm gonna be paying for parking later, that'll be 45 pesos which means that I will have 5 pesos left in my wallet (buhuhuhuhuhu..."Ayaw kong maging dukha!!!") I desperately need to learn how to budget my money:(

These past few days have been interesting. I had an overly dramatic Saturday (some drama at home); a really inspiring Sunday (Youth Night in church); a boring Monday (like any other Mondays) and an exciting Tuesday (Beq's birthday)...I wonder what Wednesday would be like...I wish it would be a love-filled day...haha (wish ko lang!)

Walang kahahantungan ang entry na ito...vavoo!

Zeth's a Genius

I think my nephew, Zeth, is a genius. Well...I'm not playing favorites here because I think that both Leeron and Zeth are bright kids, but Zeth is more inquisitive. Zeth is only 3 years old and he loves watching T.V. with me...yesterday we were watching this documentary on National Geographic. The docu was about the sea creatures' lives on this mountain beneath the sea...anyway...there was this scene when they showed the corals and the sponges releasing sperm cells and egg cells to reproduce. My nephew asked me what was happening...

Zeth: Tita ano gawa nila?

Me: (I didn't know how to explain it to him but since it looked like they were releasing smoke I said...) umuusok yung corals and sponges

Zeth: Bakit umuusok sa water?

Me: (speechless...haha!)

One time...Zeth and Leeron asked the their mom why we have fingers...so my sister asked them back

Sis: Bakit may fingers tayo?

Leeron: (he's usually more playful...he hates talking about school but he's also bright) Hindi ko alam...

Sis: Zeth bakit may fingers tayo?

Zeth: Syempre para pwede tayo hawak (Galing noh???)

morning sickness....haha!

Yey it's Wednesday again...it's my favorite day of the week!!! The week has been good so far...actually it's reeeeeeallly gooooood...haha! It's been a long time since I last felt so good about life. Last week I was overly dramatic...hehe...perhaps it was a good thing I got to start the week really great last Sunday when my kids (my churchs' youth group) and I went to Star City. I had so much fun...I rode a roller coaster for the first time and it was just awesome. I used to hate the falling feeling that we usually get in carnival rides but last Sunday I totally let go and just enjoyed the fall...hmmmmmm...very metaphorical...haha! We didn't have enough money to get a decent meal but it was ok...we just enjoyed the soft ice cream and waffles that we had since those were the only ones we could afford to buy...hehe!

Things at work are ok...so far. I'm really enjoying my conversations with my students. I'm so thankful that my work allows me to meet really interesting people. It's cool because I really learn a lot from my students...and it really makes me feel fulfilled whenever they tell me how much they appreciate my help. I know some still think my job is just another "call center" job (I hate it when people call like that)...some still laugh whenever I explain what it is exactly that I do but I would have to say that I really find fulfillment in this job. We don't usually realize how important language is....specifically our ability to communicate in English...but when you get to talk to some of our students who are brilliant people yet they do not get the opportunities they very much deserve because of their inability to speak in English fluently...you realize how blessed we are to have English as our second language. I find fulfillment in helping my students achieve their dreams by teaching them English. I wish the people around me would just be happy because I'm happy...hehe! (DISCLAIMER:I'm not saying this to affirm myself...hehe!)

Something really weird happened today. I've heard of this myth about eating a pregnant woman's food but I never really believed in it until now. Old people used to say that if you eat a pregnant woman's food you will feel sleepy and experience the uncomfortable feelings that pregnant women feel. This afternoon I and a couple of my colleagues had merienda with our pregnant colleague. We were all passing our food around...after a few hours I started getting dizzy and I felt my body feeling really heavy....I got bit paranoid thinking it was food poisoning..but it was impossible 'cause my other colleagues who ate the same thing I ate were feeling perfectly fine...later on...my other colleagues who shared food with our pregnant colleague also mentioned that they were feeling really dizzy and they felt like vomiting...until now I'm still feeling horrible...I've thrown up everything I took in...is their a scientific explanation to this phenomenon? hehe!

It's the middle of the week...I'm sooooooo excited!!! I can't wait 'til it's the weekend!!!

im a loser baby...so why don't you kill me?

Been listening to "with or without you" over and over again...trying to console myself and make me forget about my broken heart...buhuhuhuhu!!! I WON'T BE SEEING U2 LIVE IN CONCERT IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON THE 8TH OF OCTOBER!!!! Times like this makes you wonder...is life fair??? I'm sorry but I have to admit I'm a very sore loser...WHY NOT MEEEEEEEE??? I know it's silly there are more important things in life than seeing U2 live in concert...I can't think of any at the moment but I'm sure there are...haha!!! It's just crazy how some people can be so lucky to get such opportunities like this (and how unlucky for some not to...buhuhuhuhu!) Why is it that all the cool bands and singers are all on the other side of the world???

My sister has seen Sting...and for sure it's because she moved to the other side of the world...that wouldn't have been possible if she were on my side of the world...GRRRRRRRR!!! Does it mean I have to go to the other side of the world to fulfill all my silly dreams of watching concerts, plays and other luxuries that only the people on the other side of the world can enjoy???

Pardon me for sounding bitter...and sounding ungrateful...I have to be happy with what I have and trust that God has more wonderful things in store for me...who knows...maybe one day I'll be singing with U2...haha...yeah right!!!
