I'll Be Back with a "Vengeance"

After 5 days of rest, I now feel all fully charged to face again what i have left in school.. the tons of work I need to accomplish.

I'm so thankful to my co-teachers who wished me well. Most special and many thanks to Ms. Ysais and Mr. Sahagun who took care of my class during my absence.. I hope to return the favor in some ways.

Missing classes is hard but I'll be back with a "vengeance" (i borrowed that line from Mr. Aquino.. =p) and make sure that things are going to be ok and everything we have scheduled to do will be done.

See you all in school tomorrow.. =)

Skipping School

It's not really in my system to be absent in school cause I always keep in mind my students who need me (at least I think they do) and how hard it is to catch up missed sessions. But for 2 days and during the days I have tons of classes, I have been absent cause of fever (probably cause of the infection in my gum caused by my tooth) and toothache. I already consulted the dentist who put pasta in my tooth and said that since my gum is swollen, I have to take first antibiotics for 7 days, do not eat seafood (which I did [konti lang naman eh] last Tuesday night) and be back the following week.

But I don't have a choice though.. "health is more important" than anything else.. I was able to come to school for the first two days of the week but most of the time, I was sleeping cause I feel so WEAK and really in pain.

I have tons of work to do, a lot of things to worry and some special people I miss so much. But for now, I'll focus first on getting well so the people who care for me won't worry too much anymore.

A LOT OF THINGS

A lot of things happened from the last blog I have written.. Some I already forgot.. Some I'd rather forget but can't.. Some I truly cherish..

I obviously can't write about those I already forgot so let me just move on to some I'd rather forget but can't...

• How some people have "malicious eyes" that they put "very colorful" meanings to what they see.. And how they stand to what they "see" not knowing that in the end they will be the one who will be embarrassed but they can still think of a palusot and still believe the "lies they 'saw' ".. whew!
  
• How painful it is to be continuously being pulled apart to the people I hold very close and dear to my heart..
• How I've been so gullible trusting people that can't be trusted pala.. All the while I thought he is my friend, but it turns out that he is the one feeding her "highness" with information based from what his "malicious eyes" see.. hay naku talaga...........
• Waahhhh... my precious moments puzzle in Puzzle Dazzle is gone... =((
  
• WORK WISE... the tons of things I need to finish... of course I can't forget all those no matter how much I want to... hahaha... =)) .. just trying to lighten up the mood cause I'll be going now to the brighter side of the happenings in my life...

Some things I truly cherish...

• August 24, 2008 - after Pato and her groupmates tried baking their ice cream puffs (which btw tastes good, buy them once they release it in the market), Pato and I went to my house where the cable network is destiny that has solar sports and basketball tv so Pato can watch the replay of the gold medal match for basketball between USA and Spain. I didn't care that much on the basketball match but what I cherish so much was the look in Pato's face when she first heard then saw the game on. And also, I love so much tatay's cooking, he cooked ginataang tilapia that day without having any idea that Pato and I will be dropping by. I was really full, happy and satisfied that night!=)
  
• August 27, 2008 - I was given an opportunity to accompany Amb. Preciosa Soliven in Shangrila Cinema to watch a silent movie entitled "Cascading Threads of Water" (will check later for the exact title).. It's a Japanese movie made during the year 1933. You might think that it's boring and stuff, but surprisingly it wasn't. Before I continue with the film, just want to share first that I liked the spinach sauced pasta and veggie meatloaf I had as an early dinner at Amb. Soliven's house.. hehe.. Going back now to the movie.. On our way to Shangrila mall, Amb. Soliven said she might fall asleep while watching the movie cause she's quite tired and sleepy already.. When we got to the mall, they weren't allowing yet audience to enter the cinema house cause they were still preparing some things inside.. Amb. Soliven wanted a hot drink so I led us (btw, we were also with Mr. Ruales) to Starbucks, all 3 of us ordered Caramel Mochiatto.. hehe.. then before going inside the movie house, Amb. Soliven saw Mr. and Mrs. Frankie Sionil Jose... I got so excited and starstrucked seeing in person one of our national artists for literature.. I read one of his many novels "The Viajero" that I love so much, that I didn't put down till I finish reading it.. Anyway, when we were already watching the movie, Amb. Soliven and I kept on sharing our thoughts about what is happening in the movie, but above all, we both enjoyed the live musical score performed by our very own musicians, THEY WERE REALLY GREAT! The story was interesting, the music was great, therefore both Amb. Soliven and I enjoyed the movie and didn't fall asleep (I can't tell about how Mr. Ruales find the movie cause he was on the other side of Amb. Soliven). Going out of the mall, Amb. Soliven offered to bring me home but I insisted on just walking since my house is just really a walking distance from Shang..
• Other movies I watched and liked a lot for a lot of reasons I can't enumerate.. haha.. Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Wall-E..
• Coffee break (?) - "excuse me, I'll just get some magazines" .. hahahahaha!!!!
• Powerbooks.. how many times did we go around and just look around... hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• August 30 - DLSU-Taft - with Mr. Alanano, Mrs. Sagadal, Charles Hernandez, Vamie Marcos, Jancel Jayson, Julienne Santos, Maha Fayoumi, Jannica Bucao, Storm Sarmiento, Robert Santos, Bryan Hernandez, (i think I forgot someone but I can't remember who he/she is... waaahhh... memory gap!!!!!!!) - why were we in DLSU? Cause of the Chemistry Challenge.. What I enjoyed so much though were the seminars that were so much about what I love.. biology.. bit more on biotechnology and genetic engineering (will check later or soon the names of the speakers and the titles of their talk). Btw, who won in the contest? I seriously didn't bother that much on the contest proper that I didn't also even bother to know from what school the winner is from, basta singkit yung nanalo.. hahahaha!!!!!
• SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN - sometimes I wish I don't write nice calligraphy.. but they say I do.. so.. I wrote all the texts of the 6 (uy 6, wala lang.. hahaha!!!!!!) posters displayed during the Science in the Kitchen exhibit.. I had to be "isolated" in the gym for 2 days and not attend to my classes just to finish writing and helping out in the lay-out of the posters. (Thank you Ms. Ysais and Mr. Sahagun for taking over my classes). Mr. Tabada and Ms. Tanyag are the great artists that made the drawings and other stuff.. The Science Teachers headed by Mrs. Sagadal, Mr. Alanano, Mr. Aquino, Ms. Ysais and I (I helped in painting the two red round styro.. hahaha) made the big molecular structures of water, ammonia, glucose, alanine and the "4 keys to the universe". Other teachers helped too in the final setting up of the posters and others the night of Sept. 3 - Mrs. Dotimas, Mrs. Sagadal, Mr. Andres, Mrs. Mariano, Ms. Dizon, Ms. Celestino, Mrs. Apo, Ms. Ysias, Mr. Alanano and even Mrs. Duran. 13 (uy 13 naman..) of us had dinner at Jollibee treated by Mrs. Duran.. who were we? Mrs. Duran, Ms. Araque, Ms. Tanyag, Mrs. Apo, Mrs. Sagadal, Ms. Dizon, Mrs. Mariano, Mr. Tabada, Mr. Andres, Mr. Alanano, Ms. Ysais, Ms. Celestino and myself.
• August 31 - Loyola Cemetery for Xyza's birthday, Lunch at The Old Spaghetti House in Katipunan, watched Wall-E in shang, then shopped for 2 dresses, laptop bag and other stuff for Pato... (from shang we went to mega mall then back in shang).. Landes and Hobbes, i saw another puzzle I like, I hope by the time I have extra money, I'll ge to buy it, it's my favorite disney princess, Ariel.. *sigh*.. Why is shopping something I cherish? Cause I don't really get to shop for myself cause I always prioritize the budget at home and Japs' school needs.. not that I'm complaining, I like what I'm doing, but I really cherish the moments that I get to "spoil" myself, cause it's really rare that i get to have extra money for myself.. =)

Oh well.. I think there are more that I can write but that's it for now.. this entry has gone a long way already... till my next entry.
