A friend is someone
who listens and cares,
a friend is someone
who's always there.
A friend brings happiness
that can warm and mend.
I'm glad that I can
call you a friend.
A lot of people have
entered my life,
but one thing remains true...
I've never met a single soul
who has touched my heart like you.
Thank you for being a friend.
I`m all over.
You are my biggest pet peeve. :)

"Teaching is a noble profession"
...My, bakit noble profession ang teaching?.. a question that i keep on asking my mom again and again since i was a high school student. "Kasi anak you do extraordinary things for your students and touch their lives somehow." (Ha? di ko maintindihan yun ah) , yeah i can't figure out that answer or i guess i can't get the meaning of it. I graduated high school and my dad asked me what course will I take in college, i said i wanted to take nursing. My dad disagree. So I asked myself "Why asked me of what i want if you'll just disagree with it.?" Teacher na lang anak kasi in demand yun sa abroad (that was way back i think 1998). As an obedient child knowing that I would like it eventually, I took up Education. Orientation day and there's the classic question again "Why is teaching a noble profession?" Oh my, here we go again, si mommy kasi ang lalim nung sagot dun sa question na yun eh. The teachers and my mom actually have the same answer. After 4 years of exciting ( i guess ) college days, I've learned to like teaching but still can't find the answer to that classic question. Kasi siguro haven't experience to be a full pledge teacher yet. At dumating ang madugong LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers ). Sabi ng dad ko if you'll pass the exam, I'll treat you to Boracay, or anywhere you want anak. Grabe gandang motivation, Boracay ( white sand daw kasi dun, tapos banana boat, pag nasa tubig ka daw kahit anong lalim kita mo paa mo. hehehe). Kaya tudo review naman ako though at times tumatakas sa review class para manuod ng sine (hehehe). To make the long story short, i passed the exam. Got a job right after it, and here it goes, teaching environment. Grabe hirap maging teacher. You'll study lessons everyday, so you can feed your students the right information. First assignment: Adviser of 3rd yr class, moderator english club, teach english, social studies or even values education subject and remedial classes as well. ( waaaaahhhhh..suko na ko. Dami work..fresh grad lang po ako. ) Eventually got the hang of it..after a year of teaching i realized that mom was right, doing extraordinary things for your students ( remedial exam kasi bagsak, hinihilot yung grades di ko na alam kung san kukunin yung ibang points and talked to parents na umiiyak kasi gustong pumasa yung anak. ) and touch lives somehow ( ma'am gala tayo, ma'am pwede yung project bukas na kasi napuyat ako kagabi?, ma'am wala akong excuse letter ). Maybe I can't get the meaning of the classic question because I'm not focusing on the real essence of my job. Why I am teaching? I'm teaching because I want my students to learn and I want to guide them as they journey through life. Ganun pala yun. My teacher once said teach through the heart. Teaching needs a lot of patience and purpose. I spent 3 years of my life teaching and I'm enjoying what I'm doing though sometimes, nawawalan ako ng pasensya. "Anak, magtake ka na lang ng nursing ulit." (what??????) " Dy, di ba ssbi mo nun maganda yung course na teacher?", " Eh nursing na ngayon ang demand sa abroad eh." Ah so yun ang reason pala. He told me to take up education kasi may pera sa teaching abroad. Sabi ko naman "It's not all about money, it's something that you love to do." Pero yun nga ba talaga ang gusto ko? One night I thought about it, Teaching is not for me. or I guess it's not for me now.. So I decided to resign and work in a call center..and believe me till ow I don't know what I want to do..,haaayyy very depressing...well i guess, i'll find the answer sooner or later.... I asked my mom the same question last year, "My, bakit noble profession and teaching?" "Kasi anak, walang pera sa teaching. you're doing everything for free. kaya eto noble profession." Okies....

Bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boring Life.... because i guess I chose to live with it...
For the past 2 years of living alone, I've realized that I'm living a life of no purpose and endless questions. I don't know what I want and I don't know what I'm gonna do for the next ten years. I thought it's easy to live. sleep, work, eat, go out with friends, and then repeat the same thing the next day. Life is BORING. I'm like inside a circle, no way of getting out. I know I can do something about it, but I don't know where to start. ( Very depressing ) Haaaaaayyyy... Labels: ...journey...
