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!!!
