Most memorable first day funk:

Me: who can lead the prayer?
Student: me, maam!!!

Student: let us put ourselves in the holy presence of God...
Shine, Jesus, Shine! (complete with actions...)

last song syndrome

pahirapan magdownload... but it was worth it. i love this song, kasi ang ganda pakinggan... sigh.

What About Love?
by Lemar

What if I took my time to love you?
What if I put no one above you?
What if I did the things
That really mattered?
What if I ran through
Hoops of disaster?

No one would care if
We never made it
We're in this alone
So why don't we face it
There is no room to
Blame one another
We just need time to
Forgive each other

[Chorus:]
What about love?
What about feeling?
What about all the things that make life worth living?
What about faith?
What about trust?
And tell me baby...what about us?

How can I give this
Love a new beginning?
How can I stop the rain?
It's never ending
How do I keep my soul believing?
Memories of how we
Should be keep calling

[Chorus]

I'll take the rivers rise
I'll take the happy times
I'll take the moments of disaster

[Chorus]

Day 1 of a lonelier 5 months

it's a good thing i had polar bear to comfort me last night. he's just as good smelling, and he's cuddlier too... and he silently listens to my rants... and i know that he will always be by my side...
bwahaha! magselos ka kay polar bear!
oh, and i have to buy new batteries so that he can talk once again and sing to me, and tell me that he loves me...

hehe babaw :D

hey, im lonely, im entitled to be a bit insane!

anyway, lots to do. for one, there's that stat take home final exam i've been dreading to start... :(
i also have to get started on next week's lesson plan. and i have to set my next gimmick with my jolog friends! one thing that will do me a lot of good now that my precious other half is gone is that i'll get to spend quality time with my friends this time (uh-huh, usually, it's the single friends hehe...)

so if you're single, and you're my friend, then expect me to invite you out sometime ;)

see yah! :D

how's this for maintaining balance?

they say when something bad happens, something good will happen as well... i guess it also goes the other way around: when something good happens, something bad is bound to happen... you might think im over reacting... but i'm just so bummed...

Teaching proved to be easy. I've got hyper but nice students. I know I cant base it all on the first day, but i think my first year of teaching won't be traumatic or something i'd regret getting into.

Now, in exchange for this good luck, Kit gave me the bad news. His departure has been moved one day. He told me this on the phone, and i'd been so happy until... "One day earlier. Na-move to 21."

A few hours more. I sooo dread this day.

this dreaded week

teaching at St.Paul - nerve-wracking. i dont know what to expect. yuck, the feeling is really like being back in high school... everyone is insecure in high school, and now, that includes me.
enrollment for MBA 1st trisem 06-07 - gawd, there goes my money for shopping. and i didnt take the usual "one easy, one hard" subject. i took FinAcc and MetRes... worse, i dont think i know anybody else in the same class. can anybody spell l-o-s-e-r... jeez, hope not. my sked is Wed 6-745 and Sat 3-5.i took the Sat class cos that's when the good teacher's sked is. and no, it's not date day because...
Kit is leaving for the US on the 22nd - suckin' suckitash... i sooo hate it. last night, i was crying nonstop and i couldnt help it. that was after i told myself not to be so melodramatic. but i dont know, it's like a reflex action. i just think of him not being there and i cry buckets =...( seriously. missing him really gets me all worked up... this is so not gonna be good for me. last night, i kept telling myself to stop... but my tear ducts just arent getting the message...
my mom has another paper - and of course it's either i end up entirely overhauling it, or just making it myself (which, by the way, is the reason why im still up right now). worse, this coming month, she has to do her thesis draft... rather, i have to do her thesis draft. ulk.
ethics and stat finals - the first one is easy actually. but the second... nada. i know nada. im still clinging on the hope na Chan wont fail any of us. it's actually a take home exam, which increases my chances... but with my chances being a mere 10%, it ups to 15%... which is still not good. the probability of me actually passing this subject is 40%... yep, i calculated that. hahah!

the only thing im looking forward to are the two or three quality moments i'll have with Kit before he leaves... i'm not sure yet if i can accompany him to the airport because of work. damn, now im gonna cry buckets again...

Ok, so Kit hasn't left yet... i'm just anticipating how i would feel. oh darn it, this is exactly how i feel already :(

Gusto na Kitang Makita - Session Road

Parang ang bagal ng takbo ng panahon pag wala ka
Alam kong walang dapat sisihin na ako'y
Nandito at nandiyan ka

Refrain:
Pero dahil malayo ka
Ako'y nalulungkot na

Chorus:
Gusto na kitang makita
(Kita kita sa mata)
Gusto na kitang makasama
(Magsama tayong dalawa)

Pininta mong larawan ko
Ang mga una kong nakikita sa umaga
Pagbangon sa kama siguradong
Ang araw ay may bagong pag-asa

Refrain:
Pero dahil malayo ka
Ako'y nalulungkot na

Chorus:
Gusto na kitang makita
(Kita kita sa mata)
Gusto na kitang makasama
(Magsama tayong dalawa)

Refrain:
Pero dahil malayo ka
Ako'y nalulungkot na

Chorus:
Gusto na kitang makita
(Kita kita sa mata)
Gusto na kitang makasama
(Magsama tayong dalawa)
Gusto na kitang makita
(Kita kita sa mata)
Gusto na kitang makasama
(Magsama tayong dalawa)
Gusto na kitang makita
(Kita kita sa mata)
Gusto na kitang makasama
(Magsama tayong dalawa)

june

ok, so my last post was overly melodramatic... that's how i get sometimes, and everyone can be that way sometimes... ok?

there are so many things i look forward to... and one major thing im sooo notlooking forward to - this June.

well, first, there's the whole scenario of me being a know-it-all about something i don't really know much about, and it's really thanks to my short stint in college and the internet that i'm being a pseudo-expert now... (or so i think)

then, there's a new semester for my MBA... wala lang, i'm gaining more friends lang ganon hehe...

and what about how things are going to be now in the office, now that proxy season's over? but i wont go over the details of that since you probably wont understand ;)

lastly, Mara's entering high school. hello, juggling-the-finances hell... but we'll get through this, and i'm quite positive about that. ;)

the only thing i hate about this month is that Kit is leaving for the US... for the looongest time. i wouldn't know what to do with my Saturdays and my meals now (cause he usually pays for it hehe)... i think i'll do my fasting while he's gone :( i can't put into words just how big an adjustment it will be for me... =..(

but anyhoo, im looking forward to being single again (nyahaha! kidding!)

i'll be busying myself with sooo much stuff, i'd probably just collapse one of these days - maybe in August... sheeshh.

on a happier note, i've bought myself DVDs of CSI Season 6, Friends Seasons 1-4, and i'm going to burn Kim Sam Soon and My Girl - for my viewing pleasure. i prefer to watch, and get involved with these figments of television rather than sleep or live my life. haha! blahhh
