Being a teacher

I've never dreamt of becoming a teacher. In fact, I hate it and one of the least options I had when I was choosing a course for college. It's merely because I have a relative (too bad!) whose a teacher and she wasn't living it as one. I really don't like her and hate her most. But then again, i said to myself: come to think of it, without teachers, we have no doctors, lawyers and professionals. They were there to help nurture a person's intelligence and skills. So I just isolated the case of my poor relative, she's an outcast from the good teachers here on earth.
Though I didn't practice teaching technically, I am able to do it with my pre-schooler. Now I experience and know how it feels like to be teacher. It takes a lot of hardwork and patience to fulfill the task. But seeing the student's accomplishments are so rewarding.
Everytime I have a lesson with my son, I'm so grateful that I do the hands-on teaching with him. Because I know that not all mother's are able to do it most especially to the busy moms out there. I know this job I'm doing is just temporary. Soon, My son will need formal schooling. My part in the picture would only be his private tutor. It's ok, no matter what, I would make it easy for my son to learn his lessons in school. I will play a big part of it. And That makes me thrilled and excited now.

Jealous
By nina

Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?
Shoulda been in her place
Here I am
All alone imagining what might have been
What could have been
If I had been there

[Chorus:]
Jealous of the one who'se arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la

Jealous of the one who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And I don't get better than that
She'll say you're fine
Whisper words I wish were mine
And they might have been
If I had been there

[Repeat Chorus]

You know I'd fight the good fight
If I thought I'd change your mind
But if she makes you happy
I would leave that dream behind
Man, she better treat you right
And give you everything
Cause at the moment she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings

[Repeat Chorus]

La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl

Jealousy

"I don't get jealous, I can't be jealous, I've never been jealous" these are the lines that I'll never forget in one of the best local movies I watched so far, you changed my life. This was delivered by the cutie patootie actor, John lloyd Cruz, when he saw his partner, Sarah Geronimo, playing and having a good time with her childhood friend.

What is Jealousy? In my own interpretation : insecurity and lack of trust towards someone. Why do people get jealous to others of the same sex? -- there are two things, first is beacuse you wish also to get or own the thing that other person has. The other is, doubt to someone who you think would be sharing the time and love of your better half.

Why am I writing about jealousy? Simple. I feel jealous! I've never been jealous to someone. This was never an issue to me eversince I felt the love to my husband. I'm a hypocrite to say that I haven't felt a little jealousy before, but today is different. A big different because I'm very affected by this like the whole world or everything that surrounds me don't exist. Based on the things and reason I was jealous about, I have no right to feel this crap. It's a waste of time, and will definitely loose the discussion. I'm just human, to what I've known, it's normal. And this jealousy is eating me alive! I want to shout and cry, but I can't. I should not show any sign of this for it will just open a debate and eventually loose the war. But inside me, I know that there's something wrong. How will I recover from this? That's the question I can't answer for now. I'll just wait for the right time til' I get my peace of mind.... back.

I was Born this way!

I just want to share my newest favorite song, " Born this way" by Lady Gaga. The music and lyrics are just great! :)

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M 

Just put your paws up 

'Cause you were born this way, baby 

My mama told me when I was young 

We're all born superstars 

She rolled my hair, put my lipstick on 

In the glass of her boudoir 

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are" 

She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe" 

"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far, 

Listen to me when I say" 

I'm beautiful in my way, 

'Cause God makes no mistakes 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 

Just love yourself and you're set 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

(Born this way) 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 

Baby, I was born this way 

Baby, I was born this way 

(Born this way) 

Ooo, there ain't other way 

Baby, I was born this way 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Don't be a drag, just be a queen 

Don't be a drag, just be a queen 

Don't be a drag, just be a queen 

Don't be! 

Give yourself prudence and love your friends 

Subway kid, rejoice the truth 

In the religion of the insecure 

I must be myself, respect my youth 

A different lover is not a sin 

Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey) 

I love my life, I love this record and 

Mi amore vole fe yah 

I'm beautiful in my way, 

'Cause God makes no mistakes 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 

Just love yourself and you're set 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 

Baby, I was born this way 

Baby, I was born this way 

(Born this way ) 

Ooo, there ain't other way 

Baby, I was born way 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

( Queen , 

Don't be , Queen ) 

Don't be a drag, just be a queen 

Whether you're broke or evergreen 

You're black, white, beige, chola descent 

You're Lebanese, you're orient 

Whether life's disabilities 

Left you outcast, bullied or teased 

Rejoice and love yourself today 

'Cause baby, you were born this way 

No matter gay, straight or bi 

lesbian, transgendered life 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born to survive 

No matter black, white or beige 

chola or orient made 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born to be brave 

I'm beautiful in my way 

'Cause God makes no mistakes 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Don't hide yourself in regret, 

Just love yourself and you're set 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way, yeah! 

Ooo, there ain't no other way 

Baby, I was born this way 

Baby, I was born this way 

(Born this way ) 

Ooo, there ain't other way 

Baby, I was born this way 

I'm on the right track, baby 

I was born this way 

Ash Wednesday

This day, the Lenten season has started officially. In the Philippines, as expected, the number of church goers will be quadrupled than the number of those attending the regular Sunday mass. This is one of the seasons in Christian calendar that brings several Catholics in the church to exercise the tradition. Because Ash Wednesday, is a time for repentance, penance and setting out a specific spiritual goal. During this day, fasting and abstinence are strictly observed. 

Aside from I grew up in a family with closed Christian belief, I also learned Catholicism in school  in my primary and secondary years. Most of the Christian traditions were introduced and practiced  which's already part of me for as long as I can remember. Before I knew the true meaning of Ash Wednesday, I was moved to the thought that,  I had to keep the ash from accidental scratches. That if I removed it with my hand, the ash will bring no effect and my sins shall not be forgiven. They say that I had to let the ash fade on it's own. Then as the years passed, with so many Ash Wednesdays I have attended and observed, I realized that the ash on the forehead is a symbol of humility, the humbleness of realizing how sinful a man is. And it's a day of reflection and preparation for the Easter, the biggest event of the Catholic church.

Since Lenten season has been part of the yearly tradition of the Catholics, my only question to myself before I head to the church: "Was I a good Christian?", recalling  how I was , I always end it  by telling to myself "I tried, but I'm sorry. Please forgive me Lord".

Busy Bear

I noticed that I only had 1 blog post in February, that's how busy I was on that month. This time,  I have the leisure of spending some ME time on the web and I would want blogging to get a piece of it. While my 2 boys are snoring their lungs out in different styles and pitch, and I, watching a thriller movie "I Still know what you did last summer", I thought why not document the reason why I was so busy the past days. 

My whole family is going to spend their vacation here in March, April and May. That's how long they're gonna enjoy their stay in our HOME . It's going to be so dramatic and exciting, because the last time we were complete was during my wedding in 2006. And after 4 years, we will be united again in one roof added with 3 new members of the family.  

Since the time I learned the plans, I did not waste a single day to prepare their homecoming especially the preparation for my niece's birthday in April. My brother wants it to be so special because it's his princess' 1st birthday. I did researches and coordination with the chosen suppliers, this is why I had no time with my stuff on the web, I don't even had the chance to do Facebooking specifically playing my Cafe world. The plan for my niece's birthday is a swimming party with tinkerbell foreground theme, so girly. I'm not yet over with the preparations but at least I'm proud of myself that I have accomplished more than half of what should be done for the party. Aside from party planning, my hubby and I had to rearrange and do reforms in the house for there are 8 people that will share our little abode. We call it a challenge. We had to transfer our things to our relative's house just to vacate some spaces in the house. I'm imagining the riot and how the house will look like when they get here, it's going to be  loads of fun and that's for sure. I just hope that I could share our bonding moments and outings by then, well, that is -- If I have the time. 

Every time I think of my family's homecoming, I smile like a teen having a glimpse of his high school crush. I just can't hide how excited and happy I am to see them once again. I just missed them soooo much! I've been praying for this to happen. And now, it's definitely going to happen.  I always believe that prayer is a very powerful  communication with God. And wishes will come to pass in God's time, only in His time. 

Enchanted trip

Last January 30th, we were able to push through our plan to celebrate my hubby's birthday at the Enchanted Kingdom. It's was a post celebration, indeed,  but that did not matter. It was also so timely that my son kept on asking us to go to the Disneyland in the past few days. We always tell him that it might happen in time but not too soon. Of course, we have to consider the expenditures. Aside from that, since he's only about 3 years old, he might not remember the good times he may experience in Disneyland. Maybe at least when he's 5 years old already, he'll truly enjoy, remember and do "show and tell" the fun that he'll go through by then. 

Before we head to Enchanted Kingdom, we heard mass to say our thanksgiving prayers. Then we visited our soon to be new abode in Carmona, Cavite. We checked the house construction and it's not even 5% constructed yet. But , at any rate, we saw progress from the equity we are paying since last year. After the house visitation,we had our lunch in Mcdonald's.

At about 3pm, we've finally arrived on the Wizard's castle (as what my son called it). Expectedly, mass visitors during weekends.But we were able to get in after 15 minutes of lining up for the tickets. 

We had no chance to take our family picture with the Wizard's Statue, aside from there were so many people waiting for their turns, we had no one to do it for us.

Here are some of the highlights in the park:

After the Fireworks presentation, we decided to go home. Then when we were about to take the last picture inside the park, someone approached us and asked: " Do you want me to take a picture of your family?", and of course I answered her without hesitation, and said : " I was actually looking for someone to take a picture of us". She was so kind and God-sent, we thought that we wouldn't had the luck to have our family picture inside, and here it is:

And as always, long trips are very tiring but you tend to overcome it when you spend it with your loved ones and seeing them happy paved away all the  pain and stress of long trips.
