Mga kasamahan ko sa cde kamusta na kayong lahat?

Seniors: Yey ggraduate na tayo.. next year haha.
Juniors: YAHOOO. Juniors na kayo. :D Konting tyaga pa. kaya nyo yan.
Sophomores: Congrats! You survived year 1!
Freshmen: WELCOME. i assure you.. being a cde teacher is rewarding. so relax and enjoy!

Miss ko na kayo. sobra sobra. Miss ko na si miss saplala.. balita ko may baby na siya... I miss ms. gail (she's very supportive) Teacher ginny... wala ng nagpapatawa sakin during classes. hahaha. Miss morillo who truly believes in me Sir Mogol (oh my wala na akong kinocompute) hehehe. Miss ada (tama ka nga miss.. mapaglinlang ang balahibo ng sheeps.. pero mataba talaga sila swear) Miss Gaw (Looking for sped things that we could use is so much fun although I need to email them and ask the hard copies already) Ms. Dulay (Alam ko na kung pano tayo magkakatrabaho dito. kwento ko sayo ang aking job experience!), ATE CHAT (hahaha. masaya pabalik balik sa office mo para mag pa sign. haha!) and my future cde teachers na nakikita ko lagi sa corridors (miss ko na kayo..)


I know it would have been easier for me to stay there.. i could have enjoyed my hot summer vacation with my family and with my cheers students (present pa rin ba silang lahat?) less hassle i guess. But i know that my stay here in nz will be helpful for everyone. Promise ko sa sarili ko di lang ako makaka benefit sa program kundi tayo lahat. I'll suggest things that would prepare us to be the best teachers ever. I will share all the papers, books, resources and experiences i have so we could learn from those. I'll tell you guys the positive and negative ng system natin and system dito.

Malapit na ako umuwi pero... para mafeel ko ang pag uwi ko I have to finish writing my 83 papers. yes.. you read that right. I have to write 83 papers by june 25. then everything will be easier na (i hope so).

Nanny: How are yoooou?
Lulu: It helps me a lot you see
Nanny: Kamusta ka na lulu?
Lulu: it eases my pain.

Lulu: Bakit ganon? bakit di na lang nya sabihin sakin kagad na hindi nya na ako mahal kaysa sa hindi niya ako kinakausap? tatanggapin ko naman eh. Madali naman ako kausap sa mga ganyan eh. Kailangan lang nya sabihin.

Nanny: O de bakit di mo tanungin.

Lulu: Ayoko.

Nanny: Bakit?

Lulu: Kasi di ko kaya.

Nanny: Akala ko ba kaya mong tanggapin.

Lulu: Ayoko lang malaman.

Nanny: Ha? Sabi mo gusto mo malaman.

Lulu: Oo alam ko.

Nanny: O yun naman pala eh. Bakit ayaw mo tanungin.

Lulu: Ayoko lang malaman ngayon. Bukas na lang siguro.

Nanny: Ah okay.

Lulu: Namimiss mo ba siya ever?
Nanny: Sino?
Lulu: Si ano.
Nanny: Oo. Eh ikaw?
Lulu: Every minute. Never ka bang natakot?
Nanny: saan?
Lulu: Na eto tayo namimiss natin sila pero.. what if sila never? They just say they miss us just to satisfy us.
Nanny: Naisip ko rin yun
Lulu:Then?
Nanny: Wala lang naisip ko lang yun

Ate diego: Bakit ganon ang hirap ng buhay?
Lulu:Ganon talaga. Buti ako masaya pa rin.
Ate diego:O talaga? Eh bakit ka laging nakatunganga?
Lulu:Eh anong masama sa pag tunganga ko? it helps me discern things.
Ate diego:Discern whether you're happy or not.
Lulu:No. I know im happy!
Ate diego:Talaga? Pano mo nalaman?
Lulu: Basta alam ko.
Ate diego: Sigurado ka?
Lulu:Oo.
Ate diego:Eh bakit lagi kang lumuluha  pag nakatunganga ka?
Lulu: Halata ba?
Ate diego:Oo.

Ate diego: Mahal mo ba sarili mo?
Lulu: Oo naman. mahal ko sarili ko.
Ate diego: Kung mahal mo sarili mo di mo sasaktan sarili mo at higit sa lahat di mo hahayain na masaktan ka ng ibang tao.
Lulu:Pano ako mag mamahal kung lagi kong iisipin ang sarili ko?
Ate diego: Pano ka mag mamahal ng iba kung yung sarili mo di mo kayang mahalin.
Lulu: Kung lagi kong iisipin sarili ko wala na akong mamahalin.
Ate diego:Kailangan mo muna malaman kung pano mahalin ang sarili mo para malaman mo kung pano mahalin ang iba.
Lulu:Pano nga ba mahalin ang sarili?
Ate diego: Yun din ang di ko alam.

One day you'll understand how much you have me
One day you'll realise we have it easy
I can't offer you the future - I don't know it myself
All I can offer you is me
I'm all I can offer you right now

My mom is soooo cute! she's not mushy mushy.. but pag naging mushy.. very cute. haha. I remember the last week when I was in manila.. she would wake up at 1am just to ask me if i really do want to go to nz because she'll be "worried" blah blah.. then during my last night she wanted me to sleep beside them! GOSH. hihihi. nung nandito na ako we were talking then she asked me "NAMIMISS MO BA KAMI?" hahaha. kaka tawa siya swear. of course i miss them.. Sabi ko "mom di ko pa naaasikaso ung australia ko.. kukuha na lang ako next week para maka alis ako sa july before i go home." Hay nako anak umuwi ka na. next time ka na lang mag australia.. umuwi ka na kagad, susunod na yan.pwede ka pumunta diyan kahit kailan. miss na kita." She surprises me. I also remember when we were in Europe, I got sick.. I know.. she was worried and she stayed with me in the hotel imbis na nag sisightseeing siya with my sisters and dad... dun ko ulit na realize how u need ur mother when ure sick.. kasi syempre matanda na ako nun.. so parang dun ko na nalalaman ung worth ng mom talaga sa buhay ng isang tao.. I also like it when trip nya mag "trip down to memorylane moment".. haha. sasabihin niya samin magkakapatid ang lalaki niyo na.. parang kailan lang ang liit liit niyo blah blah. tapos ihuhug niya kami. HAHA! aaaw. she;s soo lovely. May time pa nung nag party ako sa bahay.. sabi niya ayoko mastress sa party mo.. kaw bahala diyan.. but then.. siya rin nag asikaso ng lahat. "O ano may pagkain pa ba kayo? Nako.. ano gusto niyong food? Order tayo ng palabok.. nako wala ng palabok.. sige order tayo pizza? O leica bakit hindi sila kumakain. Pakainin mo. Nako.. bakit ubos na ito.. bili pa tayo." Tapos next day "hay nako baka gutom mga kaibigan mo.. di mo kasi sinabi sakin na may party ka sana naka bili tayo ng food.. blah blah. ayoko na ikaw mag party dito.." Next party.. "Bumili na ako ng chicken, may tikoy na tayo, gumawa ako ng salad, may mga drinks na kayo, andon na yung chips, O leica pakainin mo na bisita mo... hala nauubos na ito.. blah.. blah blah." ano ba un. hahaha! Pag kakain having our sunday getaway.. swear.. ang saya saya. may technique siya pag gusto niya ung food.. "patikim nga ulit technique". hahaha! Pag grocery... Love it! hahaha. kaya lang at the end of the grocery sasabihin niya "Ano ba yan ung grocery ko dumoble." haha!  I know it sounds cliche.. im lucky to have my mommy! she's the best!! I love heeeerrrrr..


anyway i got something from her.. I read it.. and I guess it clearly sums up what i wanted to say..



Once I was your little girl and how you cared for me. You gave me love and tenderness, and taught me who to be. You watched me grow and learn, and caught me when I fell, Encouraged me to do my best, proud, even when I didn't do well. And now that I'm a woman you still are there for me, Supporting me in all I do, yet allowing me to be free. The love I have for you no words could ever say, You've made me everything I am, and I am thankful every day.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOMMY! I LOVE YOOOU MOOOMMMYYY!
 

leica

happy mothers day sa lahat ng mommies! cheers!

so i do have a job na.. yey! Yes.. im being paid as a teacher... and Yes.. I'm learning how to be a teacher in a different context.. I'm learning how to carry babies (as in these cute chubby blue-green eyed babies).. I'm learning how to wipe their mouths after they eat.. how to feed them.. fruits, macaroni and all those food stuff.. I'm learning how to explain to the kids that their "mummy and daddy" will be back "soon". How to make them feel sleepy during their nap time.. How to change their clothes after they eat.. How to encourage them to clean up their mess during clean up time.. How to let them use the pens and all those art stuff freely because everything is about free play.. How to ask them if they want to change their nappies.. How to accept a child even though she peed in your pants just because.. How to cuddle them if they are crying.. How to let them sit in your lap after they had their nice afternoon sleep.. How to let them learn how to accept that the reason why the baby hit him is because he is still a baby.. How to keep in mind that tiddy is teddy.. and they want their "tiddy" beside them all the time.. How to be sensitive that there are some parents who really do not allow their children to watch tv.. that your co teachers are from different cultures and you must learn how to respect them.. Especially if they're really old.. I learned that the children wont refer you as a teacher they'll just call u by your name.. so yeah.. I think I just did not learn on how to be a teacher only..Cause im not just a teacher... just like what  i told my mom.. i learned how to be a yaya.. so yes.. I think I could be a yaya now. haha!
