sighing...

i will miss you... til we meet again... i had you since 2009... bye my ever loyal and very functional phone... be nice to you're new fucking, selfish owner who got you...

Lost Something but not Everything...

August 26...
We had our Univ of Antique general assembly. It rained the whole afternoon until it flooded the whole UA gymnasium. I decided to go home after it had stopped for a while. As i walked in front of the CAS building, i could not pass because it was flooded. i had no choice but to cross eventhough i will get my white fila shoes wet, soaking wet. I arrived at our house after a 20 minute-jeepney ride. I want to sleep but i forced myself to get up so that i could be ready for Iloilo. I still have my masteral class in the morning.

i arrived at the susie stars terminal around 5. then off we go after 20 minutes and after my excitement upon seeing lola, Ms. Hazel Villa on the same bus. when we arrived at guinsang-an, the dispatcher informed us that we will have to transfer bus when we arrive at Maalan because of the landslide. So i prepared myself for another adventure since that was my first time to walk through and on a landslide. arriving at the site, it was not just a landslide but there were also coconut trees that came along the landslide as if it was placed like a barricade. so no chance of the bus to pass. we went out of the bus upon knowing that another bus waited for us at the other side. i was the only one who has an umbrella so everybody became my best friend. my legs and feet were all wet. as i sat on the bus, i felt my fingers in my feet and even my feet numb. i could barely move it. but i said, maybe, this is because of the fatigue and i sat back but i couldn't sleep. i was all smiles when i saw my umbrella's brace, one of the brace was broken. i smiled and thought of the heroic deed my umbrella has done.

We arrived at iloilo city around 9 PM. i was in a hurry to ride the first ever taxi that came. i don't have a change so i decided to pay 1000 but the driver told me that he does not have a change. so i paid my new 50peso bill and i went out. i realized that i have not closed the taxi's door very well but just as i thought of closing it again, the taxi zoomed. i noticed that i miss something. my samsung star wifi phone is not with me. instantly, all i could remember was the taxi because before i stepped down, i was texting. but no chance of getting back my cellphone after numerous attempts of calling and texting. well, i can't do anything since that was the only time that i have not read the taxi's name and memorized the plate number. i said to myself, maybe it was my phone's destiny to be lost. i have no sentiments of losing my phone but the only thing that bothers me was my contacts.

i attended my class august 27. it was also my dad's bday. i told my adventures and misadventures to my classmates. after my first period class, i asked permission from my professor not to attend my 1:30-4:30 class because it would be dangerous for me to go home late because of the landslides. i was shocked upon reaching Oton and saw the flooded houses, farms and the whole oton plaza. i reflected. i told myself that i was even luckier losing my phone than losing my house, my faith and my own life.

i reached home very happy since it was dad's bday and i'm home for my mom's bday the day after.

anyway, thanks to globe that after disconnecting my lost phone which has my globe plan number in it, they reconnected me again using the same globe number which i had lost. at least, people who do not know i lost my phone could still text me and i will just ask who they are and save again their number for my contacts.

so much for not trusting my instincts. form that time on, i promised myself to trust my instincts because if only i had trusted my instincts, i should have not experienced the things mentioned above. but at least, i gained another life changing lesson and experience.

The Dish...

(Deep breathing)...
(Sighing)...

Oh my God!

I just read a post on FB. Someone's someone today. And i really don't believe it. I mean, there are still people worthy to be chosen as what you are today. I'm not saying that that should have been me. But hell no! Are there no more options to choose from? Why you? What are the criteria for you to be chosen? Ah... I know. Influence...

No, there are many deserving people that would fall and would fit in the list of options to be that someone you are today. I guess they are not searching hard and they only made use of who's available and the background that you have but not on your scholastic records and academic performance i might say.

I can't believe it's you. You have not proven yourself yet to anybody. Well, aside from your parents. You are nothing. You are not worthy of that. You are a trash! I don't believe you! I don't believe that this happened!

I know, i'm rude. But hey, this is the truth!

Is Gluttony a Sin?...

I don't think so...

If it's so, then I'll be guilty of eating five time a day. But minimum is five. Let me enumerate.

First meal: a heavy breakfast...
Second meal: A very heavy lunch...
Snack (part 1): around 3pm; either heavy rice again or heavy carb... chocolates is my add-up...
Snack (part 2): around 6pm... consists mainly of any food that my hand can pick out right from the fridge... 6 pcs. pandasal or pan de leche will do...
Third meal: 9pm and that's the heaviest dinner...

i don't know why my eating habits are as mentioned. it;s just i love eating and i don't want to starve even for a while...

When i bought the book entitled KOKOLOGY, i amazed with my answer to these question: "What is the thing that you can't live without when travelling?" The choices are; money, gum, cellular phone; and i can't recall the last one.

My answer was, a gum.

The interpretation: You are someone who is afraid of starving especially when you are out of your house. even with just a gum or candy, you are contented with the flavor of it in your mouth.

See?

Even a psychological book agrees with me.

If you ask me what are my top three fave things to do at home, it would be: eating, eating and sleeping....

Now are you with me on this?

Dishing Disaster

Hey. hey? Hey!

I'm back... hahaha... it's been a while that i've been here... again... but i'm happy that i'm here. Panic texters are that fucking stressful... after what happened to Japan's nuclear plant, someone texted me that someone texted her that the radiation wave will hit the Philippines by 4pm and everyone is advised to stay indoors and apply betadine on the thyroid area because radiation damages the thyroid first.

i mean, come on!

As soon as i went home yesterday, i turned on the tv and heard d news that none of the text messages were true. whew! thanks to that!

Going back to Japan, that was a shocker! The earthquake and the tsunami just drove me crazy just watching the TV. it's like liters of water were poured on the house models sold and displayed in malls.

what really bothered me was my brother. he's a seaman and his route is Japan-China and vice versa. lucky thing! they weer in china Thursday night. safe!

Let's pray and hope that Japan can pull through this.

Amen!

My speech that could change them... or NOT!

To my Antique Christian Center family, teachers, parents, our beloved graduates, friends, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

Finally, I’m home.

It’s just like a couple of days ago when I was in that small chair – wearing my white polo with bowtie and black pants. I can’t wait for the celebration to end because I’m already excited to be in grade school and most of all, a happy trip at Cindy’s or Regina’s. I can’t even remember who our guest speaker was because I admit, as a child, I have a short attention span.

I remember, I went straight from home-study with my nanay to Prep. I was in Prep D under Teacher Cabrejas. My two older brothers were with Teacher Cabrejas, too. I was this cute and nice little boy who is fond of eating – well, even up to now – grabbing others’ snacks and toys if they won’t share those with me. I have this egocentric attitude that “if others have something, I must also have that”. See, I told you I’m nice; not naughty and teacher Cabrejas can guarantee it.

Enough about me. So why are we here?

We are here simply because we are celebrating – celebrating the growing, coming of age and enlightenment of our sons and daughters. To the graduates of batch 2010-2011, my deepest congratulations to you. Today, you have made nanay and tatay, mommy and daddy, mama and papa proud of your achievements. But this graduation is not the end yet. This is just one of the so many beginnings that you children will have to face, experience, conquer, and victor on. Because of that, you deserve our applause.

Be proud that you are a graduate of the best preparatory school in the province, the Antique Christian Center. This school has given and provided you with knowledge and skills necessary for your elementary education in whatever school you choose to enroll.

The theme for this year’s ACC graduation is ‘kung bright child ang gusto mo, i-develop mo’. Without second guessing, I believe that this is for our parents whose molding hands will pave the way to their children’s success.

I’m not a parent yet but I’ll speak from experience on how to develop a bright child. I’ll talk about how my parents raised us. Before that, to give you a background, I’m the youngest among three boys who all graduated from this institution. My eldest brother is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Commerce; my middle brother is a graduate of John B. Lacson Maritime University, cum laude, and a second mate at the age of 24; and I don’t have to repeat what is about me because I might sound conceited.

Going to West Visayas State University and be a teacher opened my mind to reality. It taught me how to become a teacher and understand people of different personality and apply the principles on understanding people’s emotions given a specific age. Because of that, I was able to analyze and scrutinize the methods my parents used in educating and raising us. To sum up, these were the methods used by my parents: the Importance of Play, The Law of Readiness by Thorndike, a stress and pressure-free environment and multiple intelligences by Gardner.

According to psychologists, play plays an integral role in a child’s development. As what I’ve said, I went straight to prep at age six. My parents allowed me to tire myself in playing, even hurt myself just to let me learn things my way. Let your children play for that will expose them on life’s realities. They will learn to explore things and moral values through playing with their peers. But of course, they need guidance to tell them what they’re doing is right or wrong. Let your child learn through playing and you will learn what kind of a child you are raising, if the values you are teaching them are absorbed and being exercised. Also through playing, this will give you ideas on what your child is capable of doing in the future. If your child at play is restless and enthusiastic, then your child may be an athlete and will have this positive disposition. After play, I would cough my lungs out because of asthma and because of running and it turned me into a badminton player.

According to Thorndike’s Law of readiness, it posits that satisfaction or frustration depends on the individual’s state of readiness. To make the story long, never force your child to do something he is not ready to do. It is innate for any individual to learn as he progresses in life. Forcing your child to be this and that would not bring your child any good. Let your child discover his own potential and gifts at his own preferred pace. Your child will give you cues if they’re ready to do things because they are curious and interested to learn. Set your standards low for your child to reach fully, understand correctly and embrace perfectly so as to personify your teachings whole heartedly. I am lucky that my parents did not force me to read at the age of four. What happened was I unconsciously forced myself to read because of my envy for my brothers reading funny comics. That was such a pop culture during my time.

A stress-free and pressure-free environment is also necessary. As teachers, we were taught to have a classroom with a positive vibration. I am talking about teachers because parents are children’s first teachers. Socrates, Aristotle and Plato believe that individuals should feel that they are valued, loved and that they belong with the environment they’re in. Your child is not a robot that once you pushed a button, immediately follows. Adults even can’t handle stress and pressure very well. How about our children? They need your reinforcement and motivation; not your expectation. Surveys prove that suicide in Japan is due to pressure of oneself and their parents to have a degree and the reason why students cheat during exam is because they fear what might their parents say and do – pressure leading to stress leading to anxiety leading to insanity. My parents did not pressure me to do well in school. They’re not even concerned with their names I’m bearing because they’re both teachers. My achievements are my gifts for my parents because I feel that those are the only way to show them how good they are as parents in raising us and not because they need me to.

We are all intelligent by nature and our intelligences vary. Do not be caged on the usual measure of intelligence which are grades, medals, certificates, awards and others. It is only but one aspect of human intelligence. If your child is not good at mathematics, do not conclude that he is not smart. Why don’t you look at his other grades and develop the subject and the skill within the subject where he shows potential. So what if he is not good in math or in science. Maybe he is good at physical stuff; not everybody is born an athlete. Maybe he likes rhythm and music and can dance along with it, not everybody is good at singing and dancing. Maybe he is good at drawing, painting and molding and be a visual artist. Maybe he finds it easy to talk to people and make them agree with his own statements; a politician or a businessman. That’s gift. Open your mind. Others weaknesses are maybe your child’s strengths. So never compare your child with your amiga or amigo’s child because they are initially and forever will be different. Don’t make your child regret the day he was born and blame you for what you have done to them. I was never compared by my parents to anybody. They made me feel that I am special with my own ways. That made me think that I am in no competition with others but only with myself. As long as I don’t trust myself, I will never get places.

In order to have a bright child, always remember that it’s not with the most expensive milk your child is drinking; it’s not about the school; it’s not about having tutors to teach your child every night; it’s not about giving your child everything; it’s about understanding your own child’s potentials, capabilities and gifts and developing it, supporting it, and be proud of it. Never set a standard. Have your own child set a standard for themselves.

As the famous lines in my favorite movie, the three idiots, and I quote and I recommend you to watch it, “Make your passion your profession. Study to be accomplished not to be affluent. Follow your own excellence and success will chase you.” You can use these lines to teach and educate your children to bring out the best in them.

Thank you very much and a pleasant morning to each and every one.

Fresh New Start

The time really turns its pages really fast. Just like the sun would set in an instant and as the night says farewell to sleepy heads, you can't imagine what happened to you the moment you are awake and what happens to the world the moment you are sleeping...

It's already August... and i really haven't noticed it.

From 48 kg when I first arrived in Antique from a stressful school year at on of the Chinese schools in Iloilo, after only nearing 2 months (May 10), my weight is increased to 58kg... now imagine that. Meaning? There's no other place like home.

I'm currently teaching at the University of Antique. But wait! Why do people keep on thinking if there really is University of Antique? They thought that Antique doesn't have one. hahaha. But they are aware of the Polytechnic State College of Antique which was so yesterday.

I'm enjoying every minute of stayinh here. I really don't think of transferring schools anymore. I'm earning way much than my other salaries in the past. The work load? Very not tiring. hahaha. If only chances will allow me, I really don't like to depart from this haven. The haven which is very relaxing and comforting.

It's been a while...

first, i really don't know what to put in here. there's no subject which i want to discuss. maybe i'm running out of ideas because i'm aging. and it's really fast! i'm starting to have wrinkles and my eyebags are sagging. wait, don't mind about the eyebags cuase eversince, that's already sagging like that of senator pimentel.

i have an idea. how about i enumerate significant and memorfable events according to date? that's brilliant. don't cha think? (para lang may masabi)

April 23...
well everybody who knows why this daye is worth celebrating. it's my birthday. my brother gave me a budget of 10,000 to spend for it. i had lechon baboy, spaghetti, salad, fried chicken, valenciana, cake of course, bihon and a lot more. aside from that i have cases of softdrinks and mawawala ba naman ang beer? c'mon of course not. beer is the second best invention after condoms! and what's worth celebrating it is that i had my family and friends to come over to spend this special day with me. and ateh (adel) was also here in the house.

April 28...
five days after, it's madranca's religious fiesta. but i did not care about it. what really happened amazingly was that was the day may sis in law gave birth to my beautiful niece. my brother who is the father went to manila that time to fetch my brother (who sponsored my birthday) there because he went home after 8 months of work in the ship. we did not inform the father that my sis in law gave birth. so it was a surprise. since you already got the idea that the father was not there, i bet you know who stayed in the hospital to look after my sis in law. nobody but me. second time tito of course. i did not sleep actually. i went home at 6AM after my sister in law's mom arrived.

May 1...
it's san jose town religious fiesta. i invited my barkada to come and party in the house and share the food that we prepared. gamay lang man to ginhanda namon. hahaha. we talked, sang, drank and ate whole day finishing at around 10AM i think. for the glimpse of what we did during this day, please visit my faceboook account and there, i uploaded our video/s.

May 10...
the firsty ever, history-breaking automated national and local elections for the whole philippines.
i enjoyed lining up and waited for my turn to make fun of myself in front of the PCOS machine. but luckily, i did not. it's just amazing. i'm proud that i voted GIBO. he's my candidate. noynoy is for the sympathetic, villar is for the businessmen, erap is for the fame-seekers, perlas is for the fishermen, jamby is for those who want to get rich eventhough they don't have the right to claim a property and GIBO is for the intelligent like me. Gordon is for the disciplinarian i think. we are ready to go home but when i passed by the antique national school bulletin board, there posted was the schedule of the interview and demo teaching fot those who applied for the school. and i was shocked! i paniced. but i gained my composure. i still have 1 week to do this and be ready.

May 17...
the interview came and humbly speaking, i impressed the eveluators and interviewers as well as my co-applicants.

May 18...
the demo teaching day. no worries. i nailed it.

May 19...
compter literacy and proficiency day. i finished and perfected the task for only 30 minutes.

Fast forward...

after the evaluation because i don't know the critearia, i need to get the english proficiency exam on the 19th of june, i already got 70 percent just in the demo, interview and computer exam. this is supposedly confidencial but i don't care. i'm a talker that's why they can't blame me.

as of the moment, the university of iloilo and university of san agustin want me to be part of their institution. but i'm waiting for the result of the ranking and my application in the university of antique. i really want to teach here in antique because everything's free here and is abundant. count also in fresh air. hahaha

i am currently enrolled in the masters of arts in eduation (filipino) at west visayas state university. classes start june 12. can't wait to be a student again and to avail of things that students avail. hahaha

My Life in the Purgatory

Days to count but lots of work to finish...

I'm happy that it's already March 24. My resignation will take effect on the 31st. I can't wait for that day to come... But as i hurry for the said date to come, so many things burden me. It's like i consider them barricades for me to finally get out of hell. I really feel that I'm in the purgatory - waiting for my verdict... Whether i will be in hell or i will now taste my heaven. I don't know if there really is a so-called purgatory. But according to Dante Allegheri, there is.

Taking into consideration what I'm feeling now and where i devote most of my time that even in the late hours of night, i can't help but think of what my fate will be after i rest my eyes and escape the world of reality and journey to my fantasies. I really feel I'm in the purgatory. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I don't know if I'm going to the peak of Mt. Everest or I'm going back because somebody's pulling me to fall down and go back to where i started.

I'm in the middle of the crossroad. I still don't know which path to choose because even I don't know where might the path that I will be taking might lead. Although I know that paths do lead people to somewhere but for me, it's misleading me to where i supposedly be.

I really want to escape this dilemma. I want to understand and open my mind about this. The more i want it to be through, the more the days turn slowly. The more hours seem like days. I'm tired.

I'm tired... I'm very tired... I want to rest... to the fullest...

But as of now, only sleep can set me free the purgatory...

Monday, February 1, 2010

After a while... no backing out

This is it!

January 11...

I already filed my resignation letter. I had a lot of major considerations why i resigned. One of which is my health as stated on my resignation. But it will be effective starting March 31.

Time to rest... i don't want to critique now... Im tired... hahaha

bye

I saw... I came... I conquered...

Noveber 16, 2009; 10:56 PM

I'm trying to get a sleep after so mcu burden has been put on my by my not so friendly office environment. I slept at around 9PM I guess.

Then suddenly, my phone rang. It was Cleah Mae Bendaval who tried to call me. I ignored the call. Maybe it's not important anyway. Then the phone rang again. And again. And again. All i did is ignore. Ignore. Ignore. Putting in y ind that "I'm trying to get some sleep here people. Can't you understand that?! But then again, the phone rang. Ok ok. I looked at y phone and i saw 10 messages received. I wondered who texted me. Suprisingly, all came from Cleah and Vanesa. I opened one of the messages.

What was written was:
Aries, sa diin kaw?! Kita ko ngaran mo ja sa internet. Pasar kaw! Congrats!

I did not react. What the hell are they talking about? Congratulations for? All I'm anticipating that time was the Licensure examinataion for Teachers. And suddenly I remembered! Was it the LET result? Was it? Or it's just another prank. Then suddenly the phne rang again.

"Aries, wara mo ginasabat haw? Diin kaw? Ja kami Vanvan sa Digi. Pasar ikaw! Pasar kita!"

And i was shocked!

I passed the LET! I mean i reallt did not expet that I would pass because of the reason that I poseted prior to this message.

I hurriedly put my pants and a t-shirt on. I put some scent and carefully walked out of the boarding house so as not to disturb anybody. I rode a taxi. I went ot digitizers and logged in. I typed: October 2009 LET results. And i saw my name. Applicant number 1979. Cabahit Aries Blase. It's me! It's my name.

I went to Vanvan's beehaus. I saw Sanil, Fria and Vanesa. We hopped because of laughter, beacause of disbelief and because of relief that the long wait is over. That we are now professional teachers. I searched again for the names of y classmates. Unfortunately, not all of us passed. One of my classmates did not make it.

After I went home, i texted my parents, my friends and my classmate. And again, tried to get soe sleep. But i could not. It was about 3AM that I finally slept.

November 18...

I bought newspaper. I looked for the results. I saw again my name. And i saw that more than 30,000 applicants all over the country tooked the exam and only 10,000 plus of us passed. The results of the BEEd was even devastating. Among 43,000 plus, only 8,000 plus passed.

I talked to myself smiling...

This is not just pure luck. This is nature. This is all because of me. I' m really intelligent. hahaha

To those who passed: my congratulations! See you on our oathtaking!

Frantic... Skeptic... Panic...

Yeah right...

You will, and i know you will, condemn me if not totally tell it to my face that it's been about hmmm... how many month since i last updated my blog..? well, i just know what things to prioritize now... hehehe...

what up? hahaha... what date is today? September 25... right!!! two days from the judgement day that we wish would never come... huhuhu... september 27 will be our licensure examination. to tell you honestly, i quit my review classes when i accepted the job at a chinese school. i had no time to study since i am very loaded with my classes... 9 classes every monday and 7 from tuesday to friday... aside from that, we also have our administrative work... and so, i got no chance to really equip myself with the necessary knowledge that would eventually make me pass.

though i know and so does everybody else who know me, that i am very optimistic and have this very high self esteem, confidence and concept, i humbly admit that this is the first time that i shed and do not trust my own self. if only self confidence is sold at SM City, i would have bought a ton of it. but sad to say, you have to build and develop it for years.

my getting of the licensure exam is the wildest thing and the most daring situation i got myself into. i have not prepared for it. i had no time for study, though i try at times but i end up sleeping.

but i know of course that shame will be around me and my family if i will not pass this exam. imagine, a Magna Cum Laude of the WVSU, did not pass the licensure exam? how stupid!

no, i can do it. and i should do it. not just for myself but for those who sacrificed and helped me all throughout the way. though my preparation is not that in depth, i will do my best to answer the questions, shade the answer of my choice properly and most of all, understand what are asked. i can do it.

if others say that they can do it, so WHAT!!!

i can, i will and i should do BETTER!!!

i will pass. i can pass. i sould pass!

a close to chinese thingy...

yes, yes, i know... i know that it's been a very, very, very, very, very, and did i say very long time since i updated this blog. you don't know what i've been through and what i be going through in the near future of my not so professional life (i don't have my license yet, hahaha, i'm half cooked).

Anyway, today is friday, July 31... after disappointing ourselves with our salary and yes it's pay day but, we're not happy. our adjustments were not yet added... huhuhu... i'm into a great depression and dillema which i really need to go through! i need not elaborate coz i know you will not help me anyway. but i'm still happy that this week is not that heavy... hahaha... stress-free week! yes! that's why i'm sitting my ass down and typing...
anyway, i'm already lost in my own storytelling thing. regardless of how much i received for my salary, i'm so overwhelmed...

let's turn back time...

last week or so... we have out chinese faculty in the school where i'm teaching right now... i saw this chinese faculty checking for the rooms if the rooms were cleaned because we are having this cleanliness contest in school. suddenly, a lightling struck my head. i was curious of what if i'm a chinese, what would my name be like. so out of my curiousity, i ask my chinese counterpart (she's the chinese adviser of my advisory class) if how are they converting english names into chinese names. i'm not implying something to her but she's one intelligent chinese. she knew what i want. to convert my name to chinese.

fast forward...

so, came today. i am suffering from a severe swelling of my tonsils since monday, July 27, for the very first time of my life for whomever's sake. and it's my co-teacher's post birthday celebration so she went out and bought us snacks. she bought doughnut and as we know, this thing is sweet and therefore i'm avoiding it coz of my tonsilitis. so what i did is that i gave it to my chinese counterpart and what happened next shocked me. after offering her my doughnut, she gave me in return my chinese name. it's Li Si (pronounced as Li Shi, i don't know what's the real score but i know how it sounds). and my chinese name means culture, refinement and gentleness which i really and immediately agreed on! i'm very happy that i have now my chinese name and as i smile and laugh aternately, she's doing the same thing. she's also happy for me. i can tell...

i'm now a chinese... in my dreams! hahaha

Sour Graping but feeling Sweet Lemon...

Ladies and gentlemen, im back!
I have not updated you since last month. Well so many things happened. I a now employed at a certain Chinese school after declining and after i did not reply to their invitation. But yes, finally i accepted it after they implied with their statements when i went there to settle things that they will not let me go out of the door if i will not sign the contract accepting the job. So i did accept the job. That happened May 9.
Fast forward to May 18 - the day that we reported to the said school. I thought that after forcing me to be their teacher, they would give me what i want because in the first place, i never really wanted to be there. Unfortunately, they made me an elementary teacher! Actually, six of us from WVSU including the BEST STUDENT TEACHER FOR BSED. How insulting! Our psychology is far from what we are in right now.
I am really sour graping the time i knew i was not called for an orientation in the secondary department which made me conclude that i am not one of them and i belong to the other pedagogical department. I feel insulted and i feel devastated...grrr!
But everythings changed espacially when a used to be an acquiantance (he was never a friend to me) ACTED LIKE HIS SOMEONE WE WHOSE LEVEL WE CAN'T REACH because he is not talking to us and even not looking or even just a smile! How dare him! As if! Well, mister know it all, i am sorry to butst your bubble because it is my level that you can't reach. I graduated with honors because of my own sweat and not because i begged and plead to my teachers to change my grade for me to become an honor student like what you did!
I really love my department. I'd rather be here than be there in your own little hell! I love my co-teachers and they are way too cool than all of them in their department combined!
Let's just see mister whatsoever. Good luck to you!
But the good news is, i will be accepting my first salary (actually half of my regular salary). Isn't it amazing?! I know it is and i am... :-)

Sick of It... and you will, too!

Yesterday's my birthday. well, it's not an ordinary bday sana because it is my 21st bday... i should be celebrating, right? But i did not. Wanna ask why? huhuhu... First, damn it rained hard yesterday. how will i go out of the house if it is raining like the day that moses made the ark! Second, well because of the rain, i slept the whole afternoon... man i looked like a sloth... third, i don't have money to spend... actually i have, but it is in my ATM but as what i've said, it's raining... And fourth, my friends are not around, they are busy doing their on thing. they are in iloilo and i'm in antique... so aside from my family, of course, i want to celebrate it with my friends... AND LAST AND THE WORST, i had flu and i had tonsilitis... Now tell me, did i have a choice not to celebrate? Who can get such misfortune as i did? Well anyway, i was happy yesterday because almost all of my friends greeted me but as for some, i had to text them just to greet me! but looking at it positively, we prepared sinigang baboy which is my favorite and somehow soothen my throat... well anyway, it's my birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! well yesterday... april 23
