Don't Let the Tigers Bite

EJ: "Hello my love :)

Im on my way~ ingat sa pagpasok a? Gutom nako. Sana makakain ako bago magsimula. Andaming aktibidad ngayong araw.

Anyway, dont forget. Mahal na mahal kita :*"

Me: "Dito na rin ako sa school. It is indeed a busy day again. Kaya natin to. Kung hindi man maganda nangyayari, just always think it's just a bad day, not a bad life. So smile. Because one day, life will get tired of upsetting you. Heehee. Kumokowtabolkowtsako~

I love you :*"

MTAP Participants were out of the school branch together with teachers Josie, Shane and Elsha. Kaya pagdating ko sa school, magkasama ang grades 5 and 6 sa grade 4 room while grade 4 pupils were transferred in the grade 1 room.

The grade 6 were actually doing a mock test for NAT.

Nagtext pa si T. Jane,

"go0d pm po t.april,pd po b makuha mga names ng c0ntestants sa grade 4-3 c0ntestants only  at sa grade 5 n 6, 3 sa science,3 sa math n 3 sa english.thank u po."

Busy pa naman lahat ng teachers at wala rin talaga kong alam kung sino ang included sa list for the Brain Quest. Wala naman kasi si T. Josie.

I discovered later on that An and Jhiyan took selfies from my Iphone. Kumain kasi kaming mga teachers sa Hele room. Iniwan ko phones ko sa table sa faculty room. Andun sila Jhiyan, Kristin at An dahil wala pa silang mga sundo kaya inutusan muna sila na mag gupit ni T. Jenn ng kung anik-anik. So Jhiyan explained thru Facebook and saying it wasn't her but An who got my Iphone without my permission.

With that, I remembered Kristin's message earlier:

Kristin: "Cher AJ ^-^"

Me: "Ow?"

Kristin: "Cher, ang ganda niyo po. :D Cher, Mamimiss kita. Huhu."

During my tutorial with Hailey, she said her date on Valentines Day will be her mom. Excited na raw siyang mamigay ng flowers sa teachers niya. Then, she said, someday... Boy naman ang magiging ka date niya. I was surprised. Sabi ko, not until she turns 18 years old. So she counted how many years she has to wait. Pero natatawa talaga ko. That idea? Coming from a 7-year old kid? Hailey is something.

Swinerte lang dahil ng pauwi na, nakita ako ni Kuya Godi sa Pateros. Binusinaan niya ko kaya sumakay agad ako kay Alexa. Wohoooo. Hassle free na pauwi ng bahay tonight. Lucky!!! :) Sana lagi akong nakakasabay pauwi para masaya.

Bubb replied this morning with my text question I sent last night about the deactivation of her account.

Bubb: "Yes I did."

Tapos, she opened another topic.

Bubb: "So you're really not coming on Saturday? I'm just quite sad about it."

Me: "Maybe I will. But I'll just go there late. Yung tipong halfway na ng program siguro."

Bubb: "Aasahan kita dun, kahit humabol ka. :)"

Bahala na...

Meanwhile...

I also had a chat with Bryan. He sent me one word at first.

Pedophile

(noun)

:: a person who has a sexual interest in children.

I sent him this meaning and told him not to use that word to describe himself although he has profound interest with Askim from Grade I-Honesty. Imagine, he's interested to a grade 1 pupil while he's already graduating. Odd. I think he's very stressed with the girls around him: An, Jana and Kristin. Ampogi lang. He confessed that he really liked An so much before but he said An moved on. Naguguluhan nga ako sa kanila eh. He said, An is mad at him. Ewan ko sa kanilang dalawa. So now, in order to forget this, si Askim naman ang binalingan niya. He was asking for tips so he could start his project story in Filipino. I suggested, "Why not write your story about An?" He agreed and told me he'll include me. So he kept on asking me names for his characters. He thought of naming the girl 'Kim', short for Askim. Aba. Naisip niya yun? Kaya lang pati title, dinadamay ako sa pag-iisip. Nakakatawa lang na ayaw niyang maniwala about Askim' surname. He was asking whether Askim is Swedish. Nakipagpustahan pa ng sampung piso. I agreed pero sabi ko instead of ten pesos, Nova na lang. Pumayag naman ang bata kaya malamang, may Nova ako bukas.. :)) Pero naisip ko baka umasa na naman ako. Kaya sinabi ko sa kanya. Nagtanong ba naman kung kelan yung una.. Sabi ko nung sinabi niyang bibigay niya yung Mockingjay pin, which he corrected na keychain daw, not pin. Ohhh, okay. Pero pinaasa niya pa rin akong bibigyan niya ko nun. >_< He replied,

"Umasa sa alam na walang pag asa. Parang ako lang. </3"

May pinaghuhugutan talaga siya oh.

Masyado na kaming close ni Bryan kasi nakakapag open up na siya sakin. Parang hindi ko siya estudyante pag nag-uusap na kami. Pati tuloy ako nahawa ng ka-bitteran.

Bryan: "Paasa nga ba ako ?"

Me: "Siguro. O sadyang ganyan kaung mga lalaki. Magsasabi sabi pero hindi naman ginagawa.

#HUGOT"

Bryan: "Di ah. Umaasa lang talaga kayo : O"

Me: "Lols. Hindi kami aasa kung hindi niyo kami binigyan ng dahilan para umasa!!! Hooooy. Para talagang hindi kita estudyante. Matulog ka na nga-!!"

Bryan: "Bakit yung iba kasi umaasa kahit alam na walang pag asa !!! Konting ngiti sayo or display of something pag asa na agad."

Me: "Kasi habang may buhay. May pag-asa. Sabi ko matulog na eh."

Bryan: "Okay futuristic space gal. Ikaw nalang muna tulog cher. May bavasahin lang aketch."

Me: "Okidoks. Nyt Bryan."

Bryan: "Nyt poo. Sleep tight. Don't let the tigers bite."
