DAYEdalera

Hindi ako palakaibigan, pero pwede ko ipagyabang na marami ako nito.
Dahil siguro, madali naman ako lapitan, 24/7 kumbaga.

Lahat ng klase ng kaibigan meron din ako,
Kaibigan na parang kapamilya ko na.Nakikikain ako sa bahay nila, nakikitulog
at "Nanay" at "Tatay" ko din ang magulang nila.
Kaibigan na malayo man, alam ko isang palakpak ko lang nandiyan na para
i-rescue ako kung may trobol.
Kaibigan na maari ko isama sa kalokohan at hindi ako iiwan kung
mahuli man kami ng parak.

Sa lahat ng klase, ang pinakaayaw ko yung kategoryang
" Mas malala pa sa Recycle Bin"
Sila yung mga dating kaibigan, na may malaking kasalanan sa akin.
Mapagpatawad naman ako, pero hindi ako marunong lumimot.
Kapag foul. Foul yun habambuhay.
Kapag nasugatan ako, mabilis magpeklat at hindi na matatanggal.
Ayaw ko na kasi aksayahin ang oras ko sa mga huwad na kaibigan.

Mabuti pa ang files sa Recycle Bin, pwede i-restore...
IKAW HINDI NA.



****
Nagpapasalamat po ako sa mga taong nakabilang sa naunang 3 kategorya
ng kaibigan sa buhay ko.

ROB RAMOS:

Ang hirap kasi iwan ang taong mahal mo. Kahit masakit na. Kahit minsan parang walang saysay na ginagawa mo, o wala siyang paki kung ano man nangyayari sayo.

Para kasing tinatraydor mo di lang siya, pero pati na rin pagmamahal mo sa kanya.

ATTY. LOVE:

"hmmm..sa pagmamahal kasi dapat dalawang tao ang involve, sa palagay ko pag nagpatuloy ka kahit nasasaktan ka na, lalo at alam mong hindi niya kayang ibalik ang pagmamahal na inialay mo, hindi ang pagmamahal mo sa kanya ang tinatraydor mo...SARILI mo.

Nawalan ka kasi hindi ka niya minahal pero makakakita ka pa ng ibang mamahalin PERO mas nawalan siya kasi hindi ka niya minahal, gayong hindi na siya makakakita ng taong magmamahal sa kanya gaya ng pagmamahal mo... (idea lifted from Berso sa Metro, LRT2) hehehe"

The greatest lesson a teacher can give to her students is the "LOVE FOR KNOWLEDGE".

I am taking a leave of absence from teaching and it is already final. Already made representation to the Department that I will not be teaching this June. I am a bit sad because I have to do this but I think I need some time to "settle" (Read: "go better") with life, love and the in the legal profession.

I am sad because I will miss the cheerful sound of "Ma'am Daye" and the weekend dose of "terror" I usually give my students. I will miss recitations. I will miss writing exams and more the checking of booklets. I will miss everything about teaching especially the way I learn from my students.

Yeah, I learned some important things in life from my students.

I learned how to throw "jokes" in between recitations.
I learned to prepare more in class because there might be someone smarter than me in class.
I learned to feel like a student again at times that they sought my understanding.
I learned that students can be my friends outside the classroom.
I learned how to apologize in case I have committed a mistake in class.
I learned that "money" is nothing compared to the joys of teaching.
I learned that I am "beautiful" because many admires me and even courted me.
I learned how to cry for my student's failure and to celebrate their success.

But most importantly, I learned that teaching is a never-ending profession. A teacher-student relationship is not a per semester basis. It is not extinguished by distributing classcards. I learned that "once a teacher, always a teacher". Oftentimes, my students will call me in the middle of the night to ask legal questions because they are in trouble. At times, I even have to be "ninang" to their children. Mostly, they put my name as character reference and asks my recommendation for further schooling.

This semester, I will miss my weekend joy but I am happy because I'm not really stopping the multiplier effect of "love for knowledge", many of my former students are pursuing further studies, Creative writing, Asian Studies, International Relations, SOLAIR, Public Administration and the most rewarding of all, many of them are pursuing LAW.

I am happy for them. I am fulfilled that they were able to maximize their potentials and that they had the courage to dream.

I am taking a leave. I can peacefully focus on myself without feeling guilty that I stopped the chain.

I am taking a time out for myself and rest assured I will prepare for the time that I will be seeing my former students in Court, someday I believe it will become inevitable.

One friend recently told me "we can no longer hang out with each other" without further elaborating the cause. He simply wanted to dismiss me out of his life.

I never thought our special friendship could come to an end. He is practically my "comfort zone", he was never my best friend but with him I had the "best times".

"Touch and Go"

I am resolve I cannot change his mind. I cannot ask "whys" or say "what ifs", though I am not happy about his decision, I hope he will find his peace of mind.

I am taking a sabbatical leave this 2010 Elections....

...... I posted it in FB sometime ago.

That is because I am torn between two Presidential candidates, Noynoy Aquino, a fellow Liberal and a pedigreed incorruptible and G1BO Teodoro, a bar topnocher and one known for his brilliance. Until now, I am still a swing vote I would say, although there is already bias in favor of one.

The plan is stick to "career" and I am not campaigning..... until my former Boss, my mentor, almost a father to me, Mr. Eleazar P. Quinto has accepted a party-list nomination.

NOW, I am campaigning. I believe in his integrity, credibility, capacity, advocacy and hard-work. He will surely be an asset in the House of Representatives.

I will disregard the secrecy of my ballot, I will vote for #155 KALAHI Party-list. I hope you too...
