Ok I think majority of my friends knows that I'm a granny's girl.

Though she's a bit strict and all, she still and always has been one of my inspirations.She's caring, loving, shares wisdom and best of all, she never stops encouraging me to learn how to cook (evil smirk). FYI, She's a great cook and that leaves the idea of some of us having plus size or horizantally enhanced bodies. haha. Now as I've mentioned from one of my blogs (Delaying Gratification), I had this problem in achieving something. The thing is my lola (Filipino term for grandmother) kept on saying that I shouldn't stop, I should pray I should work harder for it. I followed her advice and somehow, it worked.

When I told her the news, she was all so happy and I guess proud of her granddaughter. The best part is she bought ice cream for the whole gang. EVERYBODY screams for ice cream. haha.. That double dutch-flavored dessert was so good but seeing her smile as I told her the result was the most heartwarming part, the feeling was more fulfilling than passing the CSE.

Thank yu to those who prayed for me, it was a huge help and thank yu Lola Luming for the ayskrim. :) <3

"When I grow up, I want to be a teacher"... Those were the words I uttered on my kindergarten graduation. 15 years later, my genie, I suppose, granted my wish.

You see aside from being a public servant in our place, I got hired as a part-time college instructor. So after my work at the city government, I immediately proceed to the university where i teach. The thing is I never really thought, even for a second, that my dream as a little girl would come true. The weird part is I did my kindergarten years at the same school where I teach. It was Bukidnon State College back then but now, the word college was changed to university..Hence, Bukidnon State University.

The feeling.
Indescribable.. honestly, I still get kulba-kulba my heart/ nervous. haha especially on my first day of meeting with the students. it was different knowing that you're the mentor now. It was better when I was still a student because I get to decide if I would go to school or not. Or better yet, I get to decide if I want to sleep in the class or not. haha but now, I cant do that. Kung sa binsaya pa, ako gabangka sa storya (haha). So the feeling is just different.

The "they calling me "maám" part
Honestly, I was surprised. I really am still adjusting with the students pairing my name with that word. haha must be because Í wasn't used to it. I was always called Tina or Kristina. Now that I'm an instructor, the "maám" word just pops out.I guess it's a mandate from the students to call their female teacher that way (haha). It's cool, I'm down with that.


Dili lalim ang mahimong maestra.
Why? because you have to make sure that your students understand the lessons. aside from that, you get to deal with students with different personalities. However, I like it. It's challenging.:D

3 weeks of being with the learners.
So far so good. Though I wont deny that it''s tiring especially when you already got used to sleeping at 8 PM. now, I get to sleep at 1 AM.

TGIF or Thank GOD It's Friday. Now I never really valued that acronym until now. Friday is such a dear to me these past weeks. haha. Further, Saturdays and Sundays are just oh so nice. hahaha..The point is, I don't get much sleep or rest during weekdays because I prepare the lessons for my students to fully understand each topic. As the girl scout motto would say, Be Always Prepared. haha waaa. ><


Though the new job is breath taking (literally and figuratively), I still find it grand to be given this opportunity

Class dismissed. :)

Time check, it is now 12:38 AM and still, no feeling of hitting the sack soon.

The truth is I really don't know why Im having this sleeping disorder. i tried counting sheep, counting backwards and even drank for like 3 glasses of milk (now my tummy's feeling all queasy). so to make me jump off to bed, il try to blog the the things that have been wandering in my mind today.

New challenge. Last June 14, i found out that I got hired as a part-time instructor in one of the prestigious schools in my place (Bukidnon State Universtity). its fun dealing with the college students and sharing the theoretical knowledge that i gained when i, myself, was still in college. the funny thing is i never realized the importance of keeping my notes until now. like duh, tina 0_o. but the teaching part is cool, im still getting used to it but so far, i like it.

The 3rd installment in the famous Twilight Saga. im a film buff, i watch a lot of movies whether it's a good one or the opposite. eclipse, the premiere night was on June 30, and I was just oh so excited to watch the movie. I read the books and earnestly watched the first two movies with a never ending awe. But the third one, i gotta say, is not that cool compared to the first two. hey, no offense to the twilight fans out there. i like the love triangle going on even though im a certified part of the team cullen. haha now why i do i don't feel so hyped with eclipse? maybe it's because i only watched it online. haha free viewing :)

Missing lp_1021. i miss him... pretty much. i get to see him next month though so joy oh joy. :)


Things to do later. hah! it's 1:30 already and im finishing this blog to close my eyes, whether i like it or not. i need to re-energize myself( kung sa cellphone pa, kelangan ng i-charge).

Good mornite :)
