Rainbow

My housemate was asking me to look up for a video in youtube, the title of the vid is "Somewhere over the rainbow." When I found it, I was fascinated by the pictures and colors that I am posting it here now. Please watch. :-)





This song was sang by Jason Castro, an American singer-songwriter who competed for the American Idol in 2007.

Guilty pleasures

Everyone has their own set of dreams. In my case, I would really like to acquire these things in the future.



Leica M3. I love to take pictures of any aspect and regard. I am confident to tell you that I am not good at taking pictures, but I always have the eye for good shots. Leica M3 is an old type of camera. As I know, it's been very rare to find one these days. I think, one costs a lot and I cannot find it either in the Philippines. I do not know where to find this camera in the future, but it's one of the things I wanted to have. I can imagine myself taking exemplary pictures because the lenses are so sharp that it can see through the beauty of a chaotic site.



Next is the Nikon DLSR D90. I wanted the type of its lenses it's secondary to Leica. I think I can use this camera for every day affair. While I'm going to use Leica on special occasions. I can see myself going to rainforests, taking pictures of the twilight zone and I can take shots in every angle I wanted. I can see myself trekking in Mt. Pulag or going to Sagada enjoying the sights while clicking my camera endlessly. I can see myself clicking and clicking all day in Bayawan City's boulevard, enjoying the sunset and shout of the kids behind.




Lastly, I wanted to have this macbook air. I think macbook has the friendliest program among all computers. What's more, it can never catch virus, thus my files can be very well protected. I wanted to have a macbook before the year ends!

The teacher in Me

When I decided to become a teacher, I had already graduated from college. I never wanted to be a teacher before because it doesn't pay me well. However, after seeing the life I lead on my first year, I began to love what I was doing. In 2003, I committed to be the adviser of Grade 3 Humility. I considered them my kids. I love them and I'd fought all evil to protect them. Now, my girls and boys were in their teens. I was so happy to see them growing up and learning the lessons that they will see soon. On my second year of teacher, I became the adviser of Grade 3 Humility batch 200-2005. From time to time, I would talk to them through YM, SMS, or when I visit Iloilo. I can see them and I think I had instilled so much in their lives. Why? Because they hadn't forgotten me. I believe that teaching affects eternity, you'll never know when your influence stops. I remembered Rolly telling me about the project I asked them to make in the class. He said he's so thankful because the project built his English vocabularies. There's also Roissy who told me about the yawning rule I told me. That when they yawn, they should cover their mouth. Until now, she's doing it. I believe that I had been a strict teacher when I was with them, but I think they had learned a lot. They've brought so much joy in my life that not even money can buy. Until now, I can still hear their voices, their shout, their heart. I remembered scolding someone because of misbehavior (which was pushing a classmate in the stairs or just simply pulling the girls' hair). Now, I am the class adviser of Year II- Hope. I wanted them to learn the Benedictine Value, Hope. I pray that my girls will grow up the way I want them to be. That they will be Christ-centered, fun-loving, respectful, trustworthy, Ora et Labora. Seeing the adolescents from an adult perspective is not easy. It is not easy to tame wild souls, but I just want to touch their lives by leading a good life. I want our year 2009-2010 to be full of new and exciting experiences. I have seen how they are living at home through their eyes. I can see the hunger for attention, love, respect, and trust. I hope that I can be there to guide them lead a fruitful and fullness of life. I hope that I can mold them into beautiful daughters of God inside out. The mother in me is getting off-hand. I think this is really where my passion is. And I think my life will lead into this direction. I just hope that if ever I have my own kids someday, I will be able to give them hope, love, respect, trust, guidance, etc. That they will be good citizens in the society.

Goodbye is such a bittersweet sorrow

Saying goodbye is difficult for me.
I had said a lot of goodbyes already in my life time. I believe going to the airport is such a hateful act for me to do. I hate going there because I don't want to see the person I cared for leave. Likewise, I never wanted people to send me to the airport because I don't want our ties to be strongly bound before I leave. Five years ago, I said goodbye to EonJu. He had been a very good friend of mine and we had shared very intimate friendship. However, because I didn't want to see him go, I didn't meet him for a long time. Until one day, he got so mad that he cut off our friendship. It was my fault, but I needed to do that because I'm afraid. I'm afraid to be left in a state of delirium. Anyway, the second was saying goodbye to my gal bladder. Yeah, I'm a bladder-less person, but I can eat anything I wanted to or do even extreme sports. However, since I found the reason for having gal stones, I restrained myself. From then on, I stopped eating red meat or drinking soda or drinking alcoholic drinks. After my gal bladder left me, I have found lots of restrictions in my life. Third, my bestfriend got married. She's the only person I can confide everything I do in my life, but it's over when she got married. So much restrictions from her end. Lastly, my sister. Despite I didn't want to send her to the airport, I didn't have a choice. It will be the last time that I'd be seeing her this year. She'll be back after a year.
So you see, I hate goodbyes! I know these people will possibly come back but of course my gal bladder will not...but I just can't get it. Why do they have to leave? Why not me??!! hahaha...Anyway, I hate it and I just can't hide it.

Randy Pausch Last Farewell

Please watch this inspiring talk of Randy Pausch before he succumbed to Pancreatic Cancer.



After he talked, I'm teary-eyed. I totally agree with everything he said.
