Just at Home

I'm just at home today.. resting.

I had my tooth extracted yesterday and at first it didn't hurt cause the anesthesia was still at work. Although I kinda felt a little the tooth being removed, i didn't know that it was already extracted after few minutes. I even waited longer for the dentist to come than having my tooth removed. I felt weak after. While going home, I saw four of my previous students from batch 2005- Marla, Micah, Lar and Karra (welcome home!), they noticed that i looked harrased, I explained why... By the way, I find it sweet when Micah was so excited to have our picture taken so she could tease the others who didn't come with them. Guys, I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I just slept when I got home.. had hard time eating cause I can taste the blood.. Late that night, I was already thinking whether I go to work or just rest... You can now tell what my decision was..

Now, I feel kinda better although i still have slight fever. My gums bled again but it doesn't hurt as much as last night when the anesthesia lost its effect.

I was able to finish some work (checked drill sheet #1, and the results were ?#$@%&!*) and about to work some more.

Just at home resting?!

Igme's Fault

July 28, 2008 - NO CLASSES GRADE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL

I was both thankful and a bit worried about this announcement. I'm thankful because I wasn't feeling well yesterday, my tooth cracked and I had fever. I can sleep some more and go to the dentist in the afternoon or so.. Worried cause of my classes, 2B will again lose 2 hours and they are kinda behind my other classes.. *sigh*

I'm at Netopia in Greenhills while writing this blog.. What am I doing in Greenhills?

* I went first in Mega Mall where I had my prophylaxis (I'm not sure of the spelling! haha..) before hoping that they can accommodate me even I don't have appointment. Sad to say they are full today and they only have one dentist.

*So I opted to go to Greenhills. But the dentist won't be in till 2 pm.. What am I to do for 2 hours? I decided to rent here in Netopia.. Chat with my ate.. Look for more pictures I can use for my report.. And write this blog since I'm already running out of things to keep me from getting bored.

* I still have like 45 minutes left to wait... before my tooth will be extracted...

I'm actually sad about this tooth extraction because it is obvious that a tooth is missing when i smile... I won't be smiling that much anymore.. People like pa naman when I'm smiling... hay... I just need to save up money for a fixed bridge.. I hope I be able to do that soon..

By the way, how is everything's Igme's fault? I don't know.. just looking for someone to blame..

I'm now so serious to lose weight!!!

I'm now so serious to lose weight!

I was looking through the site of one of my contacts in multiply to get pictures that I can include for my report. I'm so thankful that most of the pictures I need are there. And as i go through each picture, there are some that has me in it, and I was seriously fat and ugly! Waaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I don't want to be like that fat anymore.

I already kinda lost weight but i still have to lose some more.. I want my tummy and arms to be toned...

But since I don't go to the gym anymore unlike last summer, I just have to make sure that I stick to my diet (less or no rice) and continue on my walking exercise.. I love Annapolis! =)

I hope in time for the "big" parties I will be attending, I have achieved my ideal weight and look and feel better about myself.

An Extraordinary Saturday

July 19, 2008...

I actually had different plans for today. Although the changes in plans really made me sad, this day didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would be.

• 6:30 - 7:30am - I prepared lazily for "work", it's our Personnel Development Day in school and a guest speaker was invited to talk to us about "Teaching as a Vocation"
• 7:53 - I arrived in school... Passed by the faculty room to get a notebook as my props.. hehe..:p
• 8:00 - 8:45 - we waited for the guest speaker to arrive..
• 8:50 - 11:00 - Dr. Onofre Pagsanghan - Mr. Pagski - spoke before us, OB Montessori Employees..
• I thought at first that I will just sleep once the talk starts cause that usually happens to me (or that happens when I really lack sleep)
• When Mr. Pagski arrived and seeing how old he looks like (he is already 81 years old), the more I said to myself and whispered to my seatmate (Ms. Dotimas) that I might just be really sleeping during the talk... BUT I WAS WRONG!
• Mr. Pagski is great in capturing his audience that I listened to him intently and reacted together with the majority of the audience to everything he said. I didn't bother to check my phone (when in fact right now I'm such a text "addict") and didn't mind the "call of nature" cause I don't want to miss anything he says
• He shared with us how he got his name "Pagski" from his American teacher who cannot pronounce his real surname.
• He also shared how him and Mr. Max Soliven were good friends during their 3rd and 4th year in high school.
• He was so nostalgic about his years as a student in Ateneo and how his teachers (Jesuit teachers at that) influenced him so much to what and who he is right now.
• And now that he is a teacher himself for 57 years, he shared how he feeds both the mind and heart of his "boys" (his students in Ateneo High School)
• His talk actually focused on this quote: "LOVE your CALLING with PASSION. It is the MEANING of LIFE" - Rodin
• After his talk, I said to myself, I want to grow old like him... I want to be the best teacher I can be for my students.. feeding not just the mind but also the heart.
  
• 11:30 - 12:15pm - on the way home, mox accompanied me while walking in Annapolis, ride the mrt, and walk home (But wait, i went back in school cause I forgot the free movie tickets given by Enzo)
• 12:15 - 12:30 - Changed clothes.. A kinda semi-formal one because we are going to watch a show in the evening
• 12:30 - 1:15 - Lunch
• 1:15 - 2:00 - Accompanied Pato to her doctor
• 2:00 - 5:30 - Mega Mall
• Concorde - checked for the price of sunshade for silverina
• VIdeo City - Pato checked for the Last King of Scotland
• Astroplus - Pato bought Matilda for Aileen
• Toy Kingdom - Pato looked for a gift for Hans but there's none of the animal she likes for him
• Pato bought me smores from this stall that sells chocolate coated apple.. we can't remember the name of the stall..
• Stopped by in Puzzle Dazzle and looked at the Precious Moments Puzzle.. I saw this puzzle and got dazzled by it coz I drew it and the drawing is in one of my notebooks.. I hope next time that I have money it is still there so I can buy it.
• Bench - Pato shopped for her shirts. I tried on a skirt, it's nice but didn't like it that much.
• Cyberzone, Planet Silver and the Bead Shop - Pato looked for the necklace she wants to give to ducky.. but it's not available anymore
• Pizza Hut - we ordered Regular Bacon Cheeseburger and had it upgraded to cheesy pops (that i eventually got tired of eating so I had mine wrapped after), Carbonara (it kinda lacks sauce), Caribbean Smoothies and Dessert Sampler.

• 5:30-5:50 - walked to church - St. Francis
• 6:00 - 7:00 - Mass by Fr. Jess Gueco
• 7:00 - 7:30 - Car on our Way to BDO Auditorium in Makati
• Julianne was with us and she kept me awake in the car (I was so sleepy but really can't sleep)
  
• 7:30 - 8:10 - Waiting for the show to start
• 8:10 - 9:30 - When I Have Sung My Songs featuring Karlene Denolo (soprano), Philippine Madrigal Singers Alumni, Entwined Voices abd Jesper Mercado (piano)
• The show was great especially the Madrigal Singers Alumni. It's like you are listening from a high-tech audio player. And they sing sitting down!
  
• 9:30 - 10:45 - Dinner at Metroclub in Rockwell. I had chicken barbeque, Iced tea and a scoop of strawberry ice cream.
• While there, the TV was on at Star Movies and Night at the Museum was showing. Julianne stopped me from eating and held my head to make sure that I watch her favorite scene. Mommy told us to keep eating or else we will be left behind if we finish eating last.
• After eating, Julianne got cold that she sat on my lap and hugged me. And when I stood, she hugged me by waist.
  
• 10:45 - 11:10 - Car on the way home. Julianne fell asleep on my side and I also kinda fell asleep too but we were already near the village so I tried to fight it.
• 11:10 - 12:00 - Home at last and rested for awhile before I took a bath.
• 12:00 - 1:00 - Tried to write this blog but was too sleepy already.

A Great Day that Ended So Sad

July 11, 2008...

• It started by being undecided on what to wear (time to show off.. hahaha) coz the attire i pictured in mind the night before isn't ironed yet... So I finally decided to wear a tube, black and white dress and top it with my black blazer that I have been looking for for the past 3 weeks...
• I wasn't feeling well coz it's my first day... but was able (?) to show people that I'm ok and that nothing is wrong...
• I got to buy acquaintance party pictures from Mang Bob...
  
• At work... I got to do some paperworks before my class. My former students kept on asking me to go to their classmate's birthday party at mcdo... But my plans were all indefinite depending on the main concern I have...
• 2C - we discussed about cell cycle and mitosis.. kinda fun...
• 2A - laboratory activity on Plant and Animal Cell.. tiring but ok.. Got so disappointed on some students who weren't able to bring the materials needed for the activity.. hay naku!...
• I got so tired after class that I so much want to sleep but did not coz I have things (tons of them) to do.. so, i started checking some homeworks...
• Those from the retreat came at last (around 3pm)... after 15 minutes or so, we had our department meeting ... then I asked the question that will make clear the plans I have after work... We, the science teachers, won't be going anymore in mega mall for the book fair.. The invitation was given to Mr. Sahagun since he is the one who really needs to scout for books for Tissue Culture...
• So, I pushed through with plan B...
  
• 4:30pm.. With Ms. Milante, Ms. Fecundo and Mr. Capistrano... we went to McDo for Arianne's "surprise" birthday party... We took pictures, ate and chatted with one another...
  
• Then my ate asked a favor that I can't say no before she tells me what the favor is... So, I said yes..
• Other teachers left already but I got left behind coz I want to chat more with them and take more pictures...
  
• after 6pm... we left mcdo and went to promenade...
• Timezone.. basketball.. they can't believe that I can shoot some hoops..
• Time-out.. hehe.. I called Mrs. Canet that I'll just visit her and my godson Benedict the following day (8am at Medical City)
  
• Timezone.. deal or no deal.. case #14, just had 2 tickets and it's a good thing that we made a deal with the banker's offer of 11 tickets...
• Timezone.. the Trivia game.. mhe vs. debbie vs. andrea vs. jane .. I think I won 2x and debbie once?
• Timezone.. then the others came.. they are going to watch a movie while others are going home already.. Ate and I went "somewhere", to the favor she asked me that I can't say no to..
• Starbucks...
  
• Mocha Frap - Venti! and a whole lotsa kwento...
• Who is 6? are pala kasi 2 sila...
  
• Who are the members of the Bird Family?
• Who is crunch?
• We both felt good after the sharing and bonding moments we had and it made our day great..
  
• Got home past 10 pm...
• Had no plans of going on-line but I was asked to check on something so I did..
• Then the sad ending of the day... A blog written by my friend bout my ate..
• I felt sad cause the 2 persons who are both special to me had a misunderstanding because of me..
• I don't know how I can stay neutral and bridge the gap that was built cause of ME..
• I was really so sad that it didn't let me have a good sleep..
  

Ironies of Love

You never want to hurt the one you truly love but he/she will be the first to get hurt when something happens..

You never want to say good bye, just next time but goodbye is all there is to say when everything has gone wrong and nothing else can be done...

Why does something wrong feel so right when you are in love?

Can't love be enough reason for two people so in love with each other to stay together?

Why can't we be together?
