People I've missed
=) [For some reason this blog has dwelled so much on my struggle as a teacher and my reflections from my unit and 3rdsunreco.]
Now, I go back to the past - the people who have been part of my life, part of who I've become, the people I've been trying hard not to miss
Grabe, it's just now that I feel how much I've really missed them.
First stop: The first school I taught at [hehe I don't want to write it here for fear of bieng exposed to more people =p] with my former co-teachers
Last Friday I went to Jinky's house for her party. I saw former co-teachers and I was surprised at how much I've missed them. I feel like I've changed so much and I can't help but to see things differently. But at the same time, I can see that I have been influenced and I have grown through my experience there. I miss how I used to be part of them, talking about the same things, worrying and laughing about the little things. Listening to them share funny stories about their students , made me think about my former students.
Kamusta na kaya sila? =) Hay, hehe mga binata na siguro. ;p I just pray that they're all doing well.
I also missed the camaraderie of the teachers there. I went to the wake of the child of my former co-teacher, Ms.Chona. I remember how she fondly shares stories about her child, Sebbie. Now, he's in heaven. I can just imagine how painful it is for a mother to lose her child. Bilib nga ako sa lakas at tatag ng loob ni Ms.Chona. She was saying how she's trying to say it was Sebbie's time already, "pahiram" lang ng Diyos so that it will be easier for them to accept.
Grabe, it makes you appreciate life more. You never know when it's your time or your loved one's time for that matter so make the most of what you have.
Second stop: Girl talk =p I miss my girl buds. I went out with Nikki last Saturday. We watched "The Prestige" (which I have to say is a worthwhile movie! coolness, many twists in the story + the actors are hot ;p) and we had milk tea [hehe no dough so I told her if we could just hang out at Hap Chang beside Starbucks..hehe I love their milk tea and it's just 40bucks! haha what you learn from being broke ;p].
I enjoyed our conversation. =) For some reason we're on the same wavelength in terms of where we are in our life right now. We may have totally different jobs, since she's in the corporate world but we have the same basic concerns. I liked what she said about being in your "normal best" now and having "non-negotiables" for the One. hehe although I feel a bit of pressure to have a boyfriend [since my time is slowly ticking...uh..polycystic ovaries talking here] haha I know the importance of not settling just for anyone I'm not at peace with. I firmly believe things WILL fall into place when the time comes. Patience is a virtue and I need to focus on my career right now. ;p hehe soo serious!
Third stop: My close friends in college
Namiss ko na talaga yun mga yun! =p Haha I had a blast chatting with Teej, Jay and Rheza last Mon. Even if I try to avoid feeling it, I realized I miss them badly. [Ang hirap lang kasi - hay..attachments...our topic in PGTB last Fri] It's hard to let go of people you've grown to love and be accustomed to be with because you know eventually you have to, to be able to grow and to let that person grow. I know it's something we all must do. After college, we are all given the big task of discovering ourselves and what we want to do with our lives. Most of the time, it entails venturing into things unfamiliar and separating ways. It is painful, like being stretched and pulled in opposite directions or having your tooth removed. But, coming back and meeting up again, I feel happy and I am at peace seeing how we've all grown and learned so much. I'm glad that we still have that childlike affection and bond among us. Nakakatawa. Nakakatuwa. It makes me smile and look forward to our next 'gathering.' Haha [eto nanaman ako...nagfefeeling knights of the round table of some sort, that each one of us has a different mission but one common vision so para 'cool' I like the term gathering haha labo! =p]
Basta bottom line ko: Bitin! ;) I still want to hang out with old friends.
Kaya dapat, next time sulitin ko na lalo. =p I'll hug them real tight and take pictures, pictures, pictures! hehehe dapat di na ako majahe magpicture. Carpe diem!
I also miss Nanay and Daddy.
Love talaga. It's painful to lose someone, say goodbye to a loved one but sometimes we take them for granted if they're always around.
I'm grateful that our whole family is here.
I'm looking forward to meeting up Louie Pox, my little bro that's a hottie already! haha
