That was one rainy afternoon at naghihintay ako sa terminal  ng bus. I was a freshman. BS Education ang kinukuha ko.

It's my dream ever since. Some people say that it's a very boring profession and that teachers are no fun. But I chose to defy that.

 I'm the total opposite of your "traditional teacher", I'm not that prim and proper Miss Tapia your mother used to grow up with.

Hindi pa man ako nakakagraduate I know that I'm not gonna be like that. I love to have fun, to express myself, to explore possibilities even if that means that I need to go beyond my comfort zone.

For me, teaching is something that we do everyday.. If learning is a continuos process, so do teaching. I believe that there's a teacher in everyone of us. Hindi lang natin na a acknowledge.

How fun it is to be remembered by your student even when they grow up and have a family of their own?

Ung maikwento man lang nila kung anong ang natutunan nila sayo, o kahit ung maalala man lang nila kung pano ka makisama sa kanila nung panahong guro ka pa nila.

I even have a teacher who told us, that our students won't remember everything that we will teach them, they won't remember how we solve math, or pronounce Soiree, but they will remember how we let them feel when we are with them.

that's why Im here, ilang oras ng naghihintay para makauwi matapos ang maghapong pag aaral..

naguumpisa pa lang ang negosyo ni tatay at wala pa kaming sasakyan, kaya byahera ang peg ko araw araw.

antagal ng sasakyan, natraffic na naman ata, ano bang bago dun?

nagsisimula na akong mayamot sa paghihintay.

Im not usually impatient when it comes to this, I accepted it long ago na kasama na talaga to sa college life ko, but in times like this, na naiwan ko ung payong ko sa liberary at butas butas pa ung bubong ng waiting shed, I can't help but groan and frown.

Sometimes I wish may Lrt na from San Andres to San Gregorio.

Hindi na maipinta ang mukha ko ng biglang naramdaman kong tumila na ata ung ulan, I looked up just to meet one pair of chocolate brown eyes, ang tangkad nya. He was towering me for over 3-4 inches, considering that I am not small myself, 5'6 ako.

"Sukob ka muna" he said while smiling.

hindi ako agad nakaimik.

nagsa summersault ang puso ko, tugdug tugdug.

anghel sa lupa ba to?

that lips!!

"miss, pa saan ka ba?" he asked again, still smiling

non ko lang narealize that im gawking over him.

at sino bang hindi ? ang manly ng features nya, walang hint ng femininity. He's pure adonis, pointed nose, slightly tanned skin, and baritone voice.

Gosh ! im actully caught offguard.

sana man lang nag powder ako at lip gloss.

"miss?" he asked again, mejo naka kunot pa ang noo.

Eunice Sophia Calzado get a grip !

"ah, pa San Andres ako, sorry I'm just wondering if I know you" I answered. pumalakpak ang inner goddess ko! hooray ! I even managed not to stammer, at nakaisip pa ko ng alibi for staring at him. I patted myself on the back for that.

"Ah sorry, napansin ko kasing wala kang payong so I volunteered. Pa San Juan ako, maybe I can give you a ride?" he said ..

napatunganga na naman ako

"I mean, if that's okay with you. same route lang naman tayo mas malayo lang yung sakin" he explained, parang mejo nahihiya pa sya.

"and im Chad nga pala" pahabol nya pa, alanganing nakangiti.

hindi ako nakasagot.

Am I hearing it right? he's actually trying to be a real gentleman.

What will I do?

This could be something else, and in a good way.

pero sh*t pano pag nagmukha akong easy pag sumama ako agad, I don't really know him after all.

nagsasapakan na ang mga brain cells ko, what should I do ??
