HOW TO LIVE A LIFE

I had a great weekend with my family. Its my mom's birthday today and we really missed her. We celebrated her birthday by cooking some of her favorite foods. Sometimes, I still imagining on how happy my mom will feel if she is just around last sunday. But what is important is that her memories and love to us will be in hearts forever.

I don't really like Mondays!(the second time around). I lost my phone last night in the Bus. As of this morning, I'm still trying to call my phone but unfortunately, the unit was turned off. Im still hoping that I can recover my phone from whoever found it. I still believe with the goodness and honesty of every pinoys. I used that phone since my college years and I've never changed number since then. Thinking of the hassles in the coming days by not having my phone and my SIM card is such a stressful thing for me this morning.

For the last 3 days, I’ve been to 3 different shopping areas in M.Manila. Last Monday, I went to Ortigas area to buy a book that I needed for my work. Been to different bookstores (PowerBooks and NBS) and ate my dinner in Shangri-La Foodcourt. On Tuesday, Makati area naman ang pinuntahan ko. Arrive there at around 6pm and I do have only 2 hours to shop since I have an 8pm curfew in my place. (Am I too old to have a curfew?)ehhehe. Just went there to buy new polos, socks and shorts since I don’t have enough clothes this week because I only brought few items from Pampanga last Sunday. But unfortunately, got back to my place at around 10pm dahil hindi ko namalayan ang oras.

While yesterday, I went to SM North to have a new pair of eyeglasses in Executive Optical. My roommate had ask me why did I go there because according to him its better to have a new one in Acebedo or Ideal vision in terms of price. So later ko na na realize na totoo nga sinasabi nya. It like more that 3k to 5k ang price range sa Exec Optical. But, the quality for me is very important and wala na rin ako magawa since nabayaran ko na. After 2 years of not wearing my eyeglasses since college. I’m back with a neirdy looking guy again.

Classes started this week.I met almost a hundred students. One section for first year and the other 2 are on their junior years.The feeling is very different compare to my first year of teaching, Im really nervous this time since im aware on how great my students are. Sometimes I think that its a very unusual feeling -- "a teacher that is nervous to meet his students". My students have different background espescially the first year. They came from different schools(La Salle, Ateneo, UP Integrated School, Xavier, Southridge and other best schools in the country). Also, Almost all the regions have their representative. From Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao :-)

Last Tuesday, I heard a parent from behind asking her child,"thats your teacher?He looks like a college student". I don't know if I'll accept that as a compliment or the otherwise.

As of now, lessons have started, quiz and exams will be given, hoping that this will be a nice and exciting school year for me and to my students. I will act again as their friend, father, brother and their counsellor. Im very thankful for the opportunity that was given to me. To teach the future leaders, scientists and mathematicians is one great responsibility that I should accomplished.

It’s the first day of the work week and I feel exhausted already. Deadlines, preparations, presentations, seminars and a lot more made me think that I need a break. But thinking the consequences after having a time off will aggravate the condition in the coming days. Alone and stressed out, I went to Ayala Center yesterday. Just want to think and relax after a heavy day I had.Lot of things come into my mind as I am seated in the greenbelt park. (With a seemingly rich lola seated beside me while reading a Dan Brown book).

1. My kuya is still reminding me that I should enroll for my Graduate school since im working near UP and my work load is just 6 hours. But, I’m really not prepared for the Grad School this semester.
2. Look for another job that is less stressful. Sometimes, I'm thinking that I want to try other jobs to experience different work loads and meet other people
3. Go to Sagada and leave all the responsibilities that I have now.
4. Meet new friends here in Manila.

You should be a model worthy of emulation. It’s a great responsibility in working with the most prestigious high school in the country. Your responsibility does not end inside the campus but it extends outside. Our kids will be the future leaders, scientists and engineers that will shape the country’s future. These are the things that were inculcated in our minds during our seminar with Dr. Pagsanjan of Ateneo High School. Mr Pagsanjan is a 78 years old and still teaching in Ateneo. Next week a new school year will start and a new batch of future leaders will come into my class. Hope that they are ready to face the challenges that will equip them to ascend one step to the top.

I got a message from Angeles last night telling me that my lola is now in stable condition after 3 days in the ICU. Thank God and she recovers fast and hope that her condition will still improve in the coming days. I really hate going to hospitals since alll the hardest part of my life happened here. My mom died last few months ago after months of going to hospitals for her dialysis treatments. We stayed christmas holidays, new year's eve, fiestas and other celebrations in the hospitals. Until now, I can't have the courage to pass and look the NKTI in East Avenue. I feel terribly lonely when I remember the laughter and smile of my mom. Her ideas are still in my mind and her love still inspire my everyday life

Went to UP yesterday to jog. As usual, got 3 rounds around the academic oval and proceeded to UP shopping center for my dinner.
