Jowk Time!





My dad told me that Atty. A brought his dog to their basketball game ...

Daddy: Si Atty. A kay gidala niya iyang iro sa basketbolan ...
Jazzie: Unsang klase dad?
Daddy: Kanang gamay .. kanang wowowee? Kana ganing gamay masulod sa bag ..
Jazzie: Dad! Chihuahua! Hehe
Daddy: O, yun!

Analysis: My dad was not really sure of the breed. So, he just mentioned the closest word he could think of that would sound similar to the breed. And therefore, he applied the principle of idem sonams!

-oOo-

My dad was wearing casual clothes - shirt, shorts and rubber shoes

Bajeck: Wow! Sporty ka lagi dad!
Daddy: Hindi ako sporty. Sixty na ako! :)

Analysis: My dad's response was intentional. Therefore, he is sentenced to be corny and such judgment is final and executory.

-oOo-

My dad was telling me that he had a problem with his laptop

Daddy: Nay problema ganina sa akong computer ug printer ba. Gitawagan nako sila Bajeck and Johanna, pero wala man sila kabalo.
Jazzie: Unya na ok dad?
Daddy: Na ok pud kay naa man koy kliyente na naghulat na kabalo ug computer
Jazzie: Unsa iyang gihimo?
Daddy: Naa man to siyay gipangpindot human gi-shut up niya ang laptop

Analysis: The intentions of my dad are clear. I cannot blame him if he is not familiar of some computer terms. Therefore, he is acquitted.

Until next time!

Change



My teaching schedule begins at 7:40 a.m. That is from Monday until Friday.

Thus, the major change in my lifestyle.

For the past 4 years or so, I sleep at around 1:00 or 2:00 a.m and get up around 8:00 a.m., sometimes around 10:00 a.m. I really do not have that much difficulty in waking up. When the alarm goes off at around 5:45 a.m., I am ready to take a shower and start my day.

But the thing is I already sleep at around 11:00 pm (aftr PBB .. hehe). Rather, tI ry to sleep at 11:00 p.m. There were still a few times that I get to sleep at around 1:00 a.m but just the same I have to wake up early.

So, what happens is I get tired in the afternoon. Sometimes, I take a nap. Sometimes, I don't. It really depends on how my day goes by. Sometimes, I am already sleepy but then it goes away with the right activity on hand .. hehe.

I guess that is one of the changes I deal with right now. But it's quite ok because I can handle such sleeping schedules. This is quite "chicken" compared to what I have experienced before .. hehe.

I guess it's quite okay as well to prepare me as I would probably be coming back to the "working world" in time .. hopefully, soon ;)

What is ...

"that rush of feeling of elation,
excitement
and you're brimming with joy
and possibilities"

Teacher, Teacher

It's official.

I'm going to teach Accounting subjects this semester.

I am so happy. I am so excited. I am so looking forward as to my first day tomorrow.

It is true that I really want to do something while waiting for the bar results (which is a whole new topic to discuss). But there is something about teaching that is so fulfilling which excited me. I am taking it not just as something to do just to pass time. It is something that I think I am passionate about.

Another reasons why I look forward to teaching is because of the school environment.

For the past weeks, I do miss school - teachers, classmates, the whole environment. So, to be back at school would lessen my "miss" sentiments .. hehe

Elaine told me that this is worth blogging. That's why I thought of really blogging this, considering that I haven't really blogged for quite some time. And to think that I have had lots of free time for the past weeks.

Anyway, I am looking forward to tomorrow and looking forward to be a good teacher!
