just keep swimming

wow, 'tis been a while.

the only reason that keeps me from writing on this blog is my school.

the past few days i feel i am more of a student than i am of a teacher. honestly, i remember what i have to do for "work" when i'm the shower, i'll have one of those lit light bulb moments of what i can possibly do with my students today to keep them from killing each other.

as a tutor, i've been very busy as well. with 2 of my kids having their midterms this week, they literally want me to study w/ them at any time that i am free.

it is tiring to study, stressful at work because my big kids are already in holiday mode.

my tutees always energize me. i am so blessed to have this unique opportunity to spend time with V, R and O. Just amazing how smart and thoughtful they are. i love their moms. they continue to do a good job at raising them. i am deeply inspired to be moms like them -- someday when God blesses me with my own child.

Z spent his birthday in a quiet fashion. bless him for keeping me focused and relzed with my school work. we went to my neighborhood japanese restaurant where he drank a huge ass 34 oz. mug/pitcher of sapporo beer.

he got me an exercise thingy that anchors on the door frame. it's called iron gym. it's like a monkey bar. pretty hard to do, but nice to hang once in while as i typed away, yet another paper.

i'm gonna get ready for gym now. will be back to report maybe tomorrow.

you all have a wonderful day and God bless you.

*ikatlong buwan ko na sa grad school, at wala pa rin akong ideya tungkol sa thesis ko.

* malapit nang mag-isang taon mula ng nagbukas loob ako sa Diyos at araw raw nagdarsal na sana maging mabait na ako.

* malapit na ang kaarawan ni pilar, moonshine, mahal, at ni eva.

* dadagsa ang balakubak mula sa langit. ihahanda ko na ang aking pala at botas.

* lilipad ako papunta sa europa, por de beri pers taym.

* sana huwag akong maligaw at maiwanan ng eroplano ko.

* hahasain ko na ang aking charades skill.

* i-eempake ko na ang aking grass skirt at palayok ng tinola.

* nah. i'll just be myself. i'm sure it will be okay.
