CAN I DO THIS?..... CAN YOU?

ESKAPO

As usual, it was a busy day in school...Celebrating the culmination of "Buwan ng Wika", I was manning the gates, and having the eagle eyes for students trying to escape the festivities..that's my job..sorry kids..

I was also waiting for some visitors from Manila that scheduled a pictorial that will feature some of our student leaders in their magazine, while the boss inquires once in a while, the whereabouts of the students concern.

When the program ended the visitors came and apologetic for coming late and was not able to take pictures of the program. After some welcome snacks I toured them around our town's beautiful church which is only beside our school, the visitors where also scouting for a beautiful spot to take the pictures. While waiting on them, I remembered my mobile-phone in my office, excused myself to check my messages. 

6 missed calls

4 messages

all coming from my bff. Thinking that it might be serious, I immediately called her up.

Me: Ano na teh? May bisita kasi..

BFF: Daanan kita, alis tayo..

Me: Ha?! Ano ka ba, 3 hours pa bago mag-uwian..May problema ba?

BFF: Lokah! Wala..sige na daanan kita..mag-paalam ka na lang sa boss mo.

Me: Sige..sige..after an hour..mag-iisip muna ako..

Sus! Akala ko kung ako na..Anong gagawin ko? sasama o hindi?

SASAMA!!! 

tindi..demonyito lang..

patapos na naman ang araw.. at wala na akong klase..pano mga bisita? tapos na ang pictorial, kailangan na lang ng names, dali-dali akong nag-type ..print..habang tumatakbo ang utak ko sa idadahilan ko kay bosing para maka-eskapu.

Kung gagawa ng krimen, kahit madalian, kailangan malinis, walang huli..

Nang-pumasok ako sa office ni bosing para ibigay ang mga names ng mga bata na kasama sa pictorial, andun mga bisita, snacks uli. Naalala ko yung nabasa ko nung High School pa ako, kung gusto mong mag-paalam o humingi ng pera sa magulang, itaon mong busy, para oo lang ng oo sa mg sasabihin mo.Kaya ganun ginawa ko, habang busy si bosing sa pagiging good host, sinabayan ko ng paalam na may emergency lang at kailangan kong mag-undertime. Pumayag! Jackpot!

Dali-dali akong lumabas ng office, pumunta sa office ko, kinuha ang gamit, bilis-bilis tumalilis walang lingon-lingon! kahit may tumatawag, dedma! parang walang narinig.

Nakita ko na ang caru ni bff..pasok..fly! Tawa ng tawa si bff..bilis-bilis daw ako sa paglakad. Parang may pinagtataguan lang. 

Hay! Sa ngalan ng kaibigan gustong gumala..magsisinungaling at gagawin ang lahat para siya'y samahan lang!

Pak! ;D

Buhay na talaga uli ang Demonyito! Bwahahaha!

JUNE PRIDE

My favorite Fabcasters, McVie and Gibbs Cadiz with their other fabulous friends have been talking about "coming out" in their recent podcasts. It is an interesting and enlightening topic that hits me straight to my apdo and balun-balunan..

choz..;D

Being 'semi-out' (if there's such a word ;D), is living a double life. A co-worker, who happens to be a close friend, recently told me that one of my students last year asked her if I was gay, she answered the question with a story of me and his brother sharing the same girlfriend (which was true by the way ;D). The student was left dumb mouthed, but I told my friend that if ever the nosy student asks her again about my gender, she should tell me, so I could answer her myself:

Me:  Neng, tinatanong mo kung bakla nga ba ako? Ang sagot e isang malaking OO at excuse me mas makinis ang balat ko sa balat mo at di hamak na mas maganda ako sa iyo!

Tarush! choz lang..wishful thinking baga..hihihi ;D

But kidding aside, I would like to share this video as my contribution to Pride Month entitled: Reteaching Gender and Sexuality

Taas noong Iwina-wagayway ang Rainbow Flag!

Rampa na mga 'teh!!

'TAY (2)

Just couldn't pass the opportunity to post this message I got yesterday in Facebook from a former student that graduated from High School last school year.

SALUDO PO AKO SA INYO!!! :)
 sir thank you po..kc lgi po kaung andyan sa aming lahat para gabayan at patnubayan sa mga dapat nming gwin.at binubuksan ninyo ang aming kaisipan para malaman nmin ang tama at mli.dhil dito, unti unti nmin nlalaman ang tamang landas na dapat nming thakin. sir salamat din po sa pagturing sa akin n blang tunay n anak. sir khit wala n po kmi sa skul ay ituturing ko prin kaung aking ama. mraming salamat po sir. humihingi din po ako sa pasensya sa aming k pilyuhan at sa aming pagkukulang sa org. sir msaya ako kc nging part kau ng buhay ko.noong una natatakot po tlaga ako sa inyo.pero ngaun. ndi n po bang saya ninyo pong kasama.sir maraming salamat po ksi lagi kaung andyan para pasayahin kmi.at sa oras ng kalungkutan, andyan kau para pangitiin kami.

O devah! San ka pa?!

Katulad ng sinabi ko sa nauna kong post: Who could ask for more! 

I am not pure evil..slight lang..(kaya nga DEMONYITO..hehehe) 

Simple messages like these are things that make you forget that you are overworked and underpaid. Kung baga sa advertisement nung kape, may dahilan ang pagbangon mo tuwing umaga. Hindi naman lahat ang dahilan ay pera o materyal na bagay. Mas madadala ko pa sa hukay ang mga mensaheng yun, kesa sa limpak limpak na salapi (pero di rin naman masamang masamahan ng konting ganun..hihihihi ;D)

Now I can fully appreciate the meaning of how they describe teaching: "Teaching is the Noble Profession". Hindi man ako magkaron ng sariling anak, marami namang tatawag sa akin ng 'TAY. ;D

EYES

Had my eyes checked in school the other day and the doctor told me that I need to change the lenses of my glasses because my left eye have been corrected and indeed it can see clearly now.

Though I was ordered by my eye doctor before that I need to wear my eyeglasses regularly, stubborn that I am, I only wear it whenever I use the computer. So having new lenses is sort of good news, because I can go on doing my favorite past-time which is....

But my eye doctor tells me otherwise!


choz! ;D

SEVEN CAPITAL SINS: WRATH OR ANGER

Wrath (anger, hatred) 

Inappropriate (unrighteous) feelings of hatred and anger. Denial of the truth to others or self. Impatience or revenge outside of justice. Wishing to do evil or harm to others. Self-righteousness. Wrath is the root of murder and assault. Dante described wrath as "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite".

Everybody I know thinks that I am fearless.. some of my co-workers even became afraid of me because of my temper. There was an incident a few years back when something went wrong with my SSS contributions that rejected my loan. I was already expecting that money and when it happened, my top blew off and silently I got hold of a cartolina and continuously pounded it on my table until it was smashed into tiny pieces. When I regained composure I realized I was doing it inside our Faculty Room with my co-teachers looking at me really shocked.

Some of my students even see me as a terror teacher. When I was still new in the job, whenever a student makes mistakes I will hit on his head or stomach. My principal even hid me from an angry German father who wants to confront me because I asked his son to kneel in front of the class because he did not attend the Sunday Mass.  The student was not even Catholic. After that school year, the student was transferred out of our school.

I remember a message I got from a good looking young man in Facebook a year ago. 

Young Man: Kilala kita! (I know you!) at di ko malilimutan ang mukhang yan! (and will never forget my face) 

Me: (shocked) how do you know me and why?

Young man: You were the teacher who hit me on my head using as textbook!

Me: What?! I never did that!

Young Man: I will never forget that day, I was in Grade 4..

suddenly it dawn to me..I did do that..in another school were I was assigned to teach in Elementary.

Me: Oh...I remember now..I am very sorry, I don't have any words to say to justify my wrongdoings.

Young Man: Sir, I have long forgiven you..don't think about it.. I was just messing with your head. 

Me: Thank heavens, nothing happened to you that traumatized your childhood.

Young Man: No Sir, nothing that serious happened. I just never forgot you and that incident.

The last time I saw this young man was in website of a known photographer that specializes in sexy poses of sexy men. I think Felix is his name.

Anyway..

But truth is I am a coward, I don't like confrontations. The last time a father of a student, who I thought, understands my work in the school who we both graduated from, wanted to confront me because he thought I was picking on his son. Though the confrontation never happened,the father continued on harassing me, even calling me names and cursing me. I became depressed, because in my mind I was just doing my job. I thought of quitting and my smile faded. I became more ill-tempered and unkind, until my present Boss talked to me which leads to the creation of this blog.

With the new school year, I am also sort of in a new beginning. 

I am smiling more often now.



P.S. And I will not go far as this..

and the winner is via the putikan is.....pak! ;D

'TAY

I was checking my Facebook account today and read a post on my wall, it was from a former student:

Tay!! salamat sa guidance! salamat sa PUSH! salamat sa pagmamahal! kung wala kayo walang mabubuong AKO! pano mo nga naman mamana ang isang bagay kung hinde mo ito kinalakihan! PAKIKISAMA! simply TATAY PRIME!! :D Happy Fathers Day!! :D we love you Keep Healthy Tay! 

It simply made my day and once again reminded me of the 'perks' of being a titser ;D

'Tay P and his 'children"

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL!

CRUMBS

I was in Manila last June 9, to attend the 7th Anniversary of Pondo ng Pinoy together with fellow CL teachers all over our province. Pondo ng Pinoy is a noble project introduced by Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales who have helped  many Filipinos in having a house of their own, food for the malnaurished children, education for poor children and work for fathers and mothers to help them have a decent life for their families. All of this coming from the lowly 25 cents.  

Of course, the Catholic Hierarchy was there, from the bishops to the priests to the lay people, who believe that by the concerted efforts of all Filipinos to love and give even in small acts but with regularity and is rooted in the Love of God and Neighbor, the community will be empowered.

In his homily Cardinal Rosales said that Pondo ng Pinoy avails us of virtues which with frequent exercise assures the continuity of its health and availability.

    

Virtue, he continued, is the result of repeated action that has ended up as a good habit. The littlest good thing (like twenty-five cents) will be easy to repeat, and more encouragingly prescribed, as it will be done with love.

Anumang magaling, kahit na maliit, basta't malimi't ay patungong langit.

langit.....KUHA MO?! (Madame Ana Manalastas, ikaw ba yan?)










plus not to be missed are those cute seminarians walking around (maisingit lang talaga ang kalandian) hihihi ;D
