A Teacher's Diary

My Name is April

Hi. My name is April. Who was neither showered any talent nor given the brains. Medyo maganda lang pero kinulang pa rin sa height. Hindi rin ako mabait. I'm not friendly. Specially with strangers. Suplada ako pero hindi naman ako nangangagat. Plus, I'm crazy, simply because I believe that normal is boring. Di ba?

Welcome to my world. Without lies and secrets. Just code names and some metaphors.

FYI. The name 'April Joy' sounds foreign to me. You know, I've been hit for my NBI clearance because there's someone out there whose name the same as mine. And I believe she's the reason why I can't use this freaking name in Facebook. People had previously mistaking tagging her with my pictures and messaging her thinking I was her. So yeah, I wish I just had the same name with one of the beautiful actresses instead of the freaking fourth month happiness. Maybe that won't be so bad then... 😂

But there's much more to me than this annoying name. For I admit that I am a universe full of secrets and there's always a chapter of my story that I cannot read out loud. It's fascinating and frustrating at the same time.

Joy = Happiness

The April part was so obvious but the 'Joy' after it seemed a bit off. What were the possible reasons that they decided to add it? I'm not so sure. There was just this history which I heard from my distant relatives from Papa's side.

Most of the time, I want to know that I am never comparable to anyone. I truly hate it when I am being compared. Isn't that annoying? And just having someone with the same name as mine is really troublesome.

Sigh. But I can't do something about this. This name is a part of who I am. I can be known by different aliases though:

Prul, Prulala, Aprul, Mapurul Abrilata
AJ, Adj, Ajo

Or just plain April... Teacher April.

There was just one moment when this name 'April' appealed to me. It was when I heard someone I truly loved whispered it in my ear.

Haha. But that was too long ago. I am only April in school but the rest call me AJ.

I wonder what could be my one true unique identity - I'm April. (Paulit-ulit diba? Para ma memorize mo, 'te.) There are lots of April in this world kasi eh. 😉

P.S. (pahabol sh*t)

I don't need none sense criticism. If you're going to have violent reactions or negative comments, just keep it to yourself. Hindi ko hinihingi ang opinyon mo. Buhay ko 'to. Nakikibasa ka lang. Be nice. Behave.
