I'm a believer

Sometimes, we can't help but to reminisce some happy moments from the past. I was browsing the YOU TUBE today, and found this music video we had in my College days for our seminar...

That made me miss my classmates more.:)

Inspired

When I woke up this morning , I get to hear a precious melody from our friends, Ate INDAY and kuya DODONG from Osamis... They came to visit my parents and stayed last night.

The song is pure Visaya and were composed by their church mate. The songs really did move me. I fell in love with the lyrics. Hope you will too...

Godbless GUYS! and Have fun watching!:D


PS. Sorry for the interuptions in the first part of the song, my ate donna keeps on yelling at the background..LOL. Need to tell her that we are taking a video just to make her stop.

The MEET UP



The most awaited gathering of the ECLICK team has happened (Well not literally, since our most loved Ate Raquel was not around.:( tsk3). We did not let that change our mood for the event... Enthusiasm conquered the moment and made it unforgettable.

It was last Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 8:00am to be exact, the good looking web dev and designers from hubport came to see us to show respect after postponing my birthday invitation to them 2 days ago. Well, the planning went spontaneous. I and Jestoni (The guy with the nice hair) decided to pursue the celebration after work.
Which means, all of us will look haggard. It was terribly not an ideal meet up, but who cares? btw, Thanks for Ate Aubrey for being with me even though she has her own plans for the day.

So the moment came. I opened the glass door of Dimsum (fronting JS Gaisano), and saw 4 lovely men on a table near the cashier...and then..I was amazed (CHAR).

Impressions are popping in my mind. Want to know? (Continue reading)

Let me start with

ARES: hmmmm...he is smart looking, tall and fun to talk to.

JESTONI: nice cool hair, was silent (but for sure in real life he is not), simple

JAMES: Very young, looks young and innocent, rarely talks, nice eyes!, seems tactful

PAULO: chikkadora, was secured of himself, funny

hehehhe..:P

Well, I definitely liked being with them... I think these are all good insights of who they are..And I am positive that these first impressions will last..:)

btw: As promised: here is the greatest make-over that could happen to JESTONI..

SAINTS + Gil, Alfred and I reunion

February 20, 2009

Cristyl is here in Davao... at the same time, the results of the NLE exam was released, and I found out that Valerie and I passed. So there's no way that I will not enjoy this night! But my greatest dilemma is ...I ONLY HAVE 17 PESOS IN MY BAG (since my wallet was lost and I haven't bought a replacement yet!) HUHUHU!!!

Honestly, I am so restless for 3 hours, I searched for ways (or person, lol) where I can borrow money... Unfortunately, all of the people in our house are poor... PITY ME. I really felt sad... and hopeless... and then, without shame, i asked for help from my "it's complicated X boyfriend" and he offered help as well as a ride to the place where I will meet my high school friends. But, he needs to finish his basketball game with his friends first. He told me if I can wait til 9:00pm? hmmm.. I can, but, my mom will arrive that time, so i guess I won't need his money anymore... hahaha...

So what happened... My mom arrived at exactly 9:00pm and she gave me money.... (huge in fact), I returned some of it... because i think it was too much... And she did not insist!! WAAAA... drama pa kasi... hahaha... baitbaitan kuno! hahaha... Then my dad offered a ride to Torres... And I arrived at Cubyertos... hahaha ... as usual LATE!!!

for the continuation...read Gil's blog... click this link!!!:)

THE DATE


4F at Yellow house!


It's fasl's birthday... ! and bem... our...ahmmmm... thoughtful classmate planned a surprise celebration for her... We kindda like the idea, coz honestly...we miss fasl so much....

SO...here I am wearing a pink shirt... for the surprise visit at DMSF... hahaha... but, kawawang ako... I was not able to join them at DMSF...coz I need to attend some concerns.. Did'nt know what happened there...:(

But still, humabol ako at Yellow House... and upon opening the door.. nandon sila...! tj, che,angie go,angie angeles,angel,julie,hanna,bem... and the birthday girl... FASL!!! It was a jovial moment! I mean...sobrang long-time-no-see na talaga kami... (teary eyes)... hahaha.. And I saw the lovely cake(actually konti nalang) at the table... hahaha... and it was a sudden shift of attention... before we begin chatting, lumamon muna ako...hehehe....

so what's the buzz...? These are the few things I've noticed from my classmates... changes na napansin ko...:)

TJ---- hehehe...cge, pogi padin! and workaholic na...hehehe from med school... pumunta pa sa gym... hehehe! ala maxado nag change I guess...

BANGIE----hehehe...nag bloom talaga xa... I like her tone now...pumayat talaga(envious ako)

CHE----more or less, still the same...but, i should say... bagay xa sa med uniform...bagay talaga mag doctor!hehehe

ANGEL---hehehe.. getting sexier...may career

JULIE---fond of interior designing....

ANGIE---still in love....pumayat....

HANNA---she loves tees and rubber shoes now... medyo cowboy na...hehehe... the hanna with high heels is gone!

MAdam BEM----hahaha... mayaman nato!!! marami-raming pinagkikitaan...

FASL----having fun with med school and married life...still beautiful...

so...those were the things I've observed! That semi-reunion was not all about noticing the physical alterations we have...we also talked about interesting things with regards to our new endeavors.

And that made me conclude this cliche... Nothing is permanent but change!


KOREAN teeeaachhaahhhh!











MY FIRST JOB: easy come, easy go!

LOOKING BACK...the faces of my students are still fresh in my mind! how they annoy me at times yet making me feel like a surrogate mom each day I am with them. I feel lonely remembering the situation wherein I need to inevitably leave them despite the strong disapproval within me... I have to!
But what really is the story behind?

I love children and I love teaching.. put them together...well, i probably am destined to be a TEACHER... aside from being a "soon to be nurse".
I am one of the 80,000 nurses who took their NLE board exam last November 2008. I know nothing with regards to the real world. After submitting the 5th exam paper to the proctor in the last day of the exam... it is as if the doors are widely opened and lights around it twinkles then a deep voice summons.... "WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF JOBLESS!" Hahaha... I am totally CLueLess. Like most of the nursing students, I stayed like an ultimate BUM in our couch... for days, it was all SLEEP.EAT and GIMIK! Nothing more... nothing less...
But when more days passed by, my superego is already calling my attention. I guess that began when I found it inappropriate to ask for an allowance from my mom just to spend it on leisure. Also, my bank account was...ahmmm... GONE?!LOL... And then i said to myself... IT IS Now Time Tammy...
yah... got the picture! But how? i have too much nerves to face my fear---> apply a real job! well, my friends are there to the rescue...(special mention to DOTTIE). She handed me the opportunities. And this time, i dont need to be alone because I will be walking around the city, Job Hunting, with my friends! And yes, we end up to Matina street and applied in a quite BIG Korean school... I and my friend Val took the exam.. It is more of grammar and sentence construction. Good for me, i can still remember my strict teacher in College... ma'am B...... (strict in a good way). The exam was over... so whats next? The-waiting-for-their-call-time! It may not be as depressing as it looks, but, the moment wherein your smart friends have already received their calls yet you have'nt, that is the most frustrating part. And that literally happened to me. I was even questioning myself... why...why... why... emo effect! Then, just psyche yourself... that you will pick somethng better in the future.. IT's not for you... That actually worked! And I forgot about it!
One memorable day, when i was with my memorable classmates in a memorable event.... I got a call! WHAT? yayah... quite a memorable pop-up info! I need to attend the interview... but I cant cause i am in a memorable place...so, I asked the HR if we can postpone the interview... good thing they did allow me.
And the day came... i need to face my fear... i will be interviewed today!!! When i reached the place..i went to the office...and asked "Maam, i am looking for maam ----------, I have a scheduled interview today." and she replied... just proceed to room B103. HUH? okay... when i am already there... I saw a lot of familiar faces... too many familiar faces in fact! So that made me less anxious and more comfortable now. And the head started speaking in front.... WAAAIIITT!!! This is the orientation already! I am not suppose to be here!.. it continued until the contracts were distributed. That made me feel anxious again... cause if i am trully misplaced.. it is a huge embarassment... so, without second thoughts, i approached the head and clarified. And she told me... "YES yOu aRE hirED" WWWHHHHAAAATTTT! can you hear that? I am hired...! yIPPEESS... It was handed to me like a present... no interviews this time.. but I am still hired! yipppeeee....what a glee..
So, time passed. i enjoyed every single day i am with my students. Not just because of their nice greeting "Anong hasayo..." But also, I am learning a lot of things from them.. it was a two way process. And 2 weeks passed. It got harder and harder, especially when heavy rain fell down like cats and dogs and your body is on malaise and FEVER, simultaneously. I went home like a vegetable yet i needed to wake up late at night to make lessons for my students. I pushed myself more even if I cant. My mentality was, " I need to teach them... i need to tackle things the next day. I have to be a good teacher..." But on the third day of my fever... RASHES started appearing on my torso... WHAT? rashes on the torso (Vesicular in fact!).. well, this definitely is CHiCKEN POX... waaaaa... I am contagious! And after it was confirmed by my pediatrician... I need to voluntarily isolate myself.


I was planning to just take a 3 day absence excluding the weekends.. But the admin of the school decided to temporarily stop my contract until the end of the camp.. for the student's sake. Well, i undersood them pretty well, because I myself don't want to cause harm to my students... so i gave up what i want... and just psyche myself again..." my 2 weeks experience in the Korean school taught me a lot of things" and that learning is worth keeping.
That time, I pictured myself as a glass filled with just a quarter yet gave importance to that quarter part and overlooked the huge empty chunk.
Now, i feel thankful with the good moments I have with my students and the friendship we had despite the limited time. i will trully miss DaNA, JEYLA, JENNy, ANNA, Andrew, LauREN and LUCY.... of course- the other students, i will miss the admin, my co teachers, manong guard and of course.. VAL, NInA, DOTTIE and lavishing Jeff....

see you around guys!:) "Anong Hasayo..."
