More Than A Beautiful Mess

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.

Dear Teaching,
Been telling everyone i'm gonna be a teacher someday
yes, yes, since I was 7.
Here I am, finally living the dream
A far cry from my ridiculous ideal.
All these times, it was just silly crush,
And you, being unpredictable and stubborn and rude, are slowly killing me
But I think I can love you.
Heck, I'm halfway there already.
This thing, between you and I,
is only going to get better.
Believe
:)

Romeo And Beauty

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

~Dr Seuss~

Of all the classes that I have entered for relief, 3 Wira is probably the most adorable. In terms of manners, they are amazing for a bunch of 15yearolds. They always go "Cigu, ada teka teki ka?" or "Cigu, mari bah sini. kita kawan-kawan dulu". Haha. Cute.

Well, something very cute happened today. There's a Romeo in the class who's hopelessly in love with his classmate. Obviously the beauty in the class la. It turns out that Beauty knows Romeo likes her, she just wants him to VERBALIZE the confession aka say it to her face. Translation: she likes him too. No letters or messengers allowed. Smart girl.
But Romeo, having made his intentions clear to everyone in the class except to the one who matters the most, is having confidence issues. Dude looks so pensive and nervous that I felt sorry for him. Before leaving the class, I left him with a piece of advice, "Go on. Tell her. or you'll regret it later". Hope he mans up and just tell her already.

Ah, young love.
Been there, done that.
Hope they will do better:)

Dear Life,

"If I am destined to lose,
why am I still in this sick game?
Go on,
make the kill.
Or you could be nicer,
and pull me back up"

Here is a genuinely funny guy.
He may not be the hottest thing to behold,
but sense of humor ranks higher than looks in my book.
No, I do not kid.
Yes, I would date him in a jiff.
Go watch 'Funny People' ya'll.

Some of my students are big fans of Lady Gaga. So here's my advice, girls (and boys), you can copy her hairstyle (minus the dye) and her dance moves, but NEVER, i repeat, NEVER, her choice of clothing. I understand the need to be fashion forward, but walking around wearing vahjayjay-flashing, bikini-inspired catsuit? Really?. Halloween is not a daily occasion. Unless you are the Lady herself. I'm all for originality, trademark and uniqueness but this is definitely not hot.

Getting Up and Over

"what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger"

For as long as I live,
I will never forget the tremble of your lips as you endure the pain,
Your bony hands, your beautiful smile,
Your face as you surrendered to eternal sleep.

I miss you.
I wish I could turn back time and talk to you more when you still could.
but it never crossed my mind that you would leave us.
I want you to know that we are all doing our best to cope,
It just hurts so much because it's all too sudden.

I love you.
I know you'll be happier up there
So, I won't cry anymore..
I'll remember you as the amazing lady that I know you were.
