I am now 27 years old and still I really don't know what i had accomplished in life. (meron kaya?) Well, I really don't know.
Last July 20 was my 27th year. I know I'm getting older and older. I publishe a shout out on my Facebook account saying: "It's going to be a BIG Bigday tom". Surprisingly,many people (those who are part of my friends list) reacted tomy shout out... Funny, because they allknow, of course that it's my birthday the next day. Several people started greeting me saying "Happy Birthday Sir!". I was flattered they did greet me. Few hours past, more andmore people are greeting me. Surprise that even my former students in the former school (LDRM) started to gree me also... Wow! I was very happy, smiling while reading and giving back comments (Thank you note) to them. I don't know if it is still part of being a teacher to be greeted by the student but I was so happy on the night before my birthday. ; )
On the day of my birthday, still a lot of messages came in... Greetings from those people who was my students before. That time I realized a lot of things. I had touched so many lives before. Good, bad, happy, sad memories... I'm so happy that in their greetings they would add questions like: "Sir, do you still remember?" and I would comment: "Yes of course! how could forget you, you're my student before!". Being remembered by a former students is a flattering thing. I was able to chat to some of them, kamustahan, asking them regarding their studies, their present school, etc.. And they happily respond to my questions.. End part of the conversation is a piece of advice: "mag-aral ng mabuti ha".
27 years and yet single... hahahah... most of the people say na kadalasan sa mga teachers ay di na nakakapag-asawa...hahaha... katakot yata yun... i have plans of settling downnof course but i think it's not yet the right time. i still have a lot of plans pa eh. a lot, lot more... most of my batchmates in high school (St. Joseph Academy) were surprise seing me, because of such technology I was able to contact and talk to them oftentimes unlike before. They are all one click away... a keyboard away...
27 but happy... happy with my work, happy with all the things i have, happy being with my true friends... TEACHING... it's my passion... I have three siblings and all of them had their own family already... not only that, they had their own kid too! our eldest had a 7 month old daughter, my brother (who is next to me) had a 4 month old son, and our yougest had a 1 year old son... Pressure... hahahaha... ako na lng ang single sa aming apat... I love all my pamangkins of course... Whenever we see each other at home (Taguig) it seems like nothing had change, we still the old "we"... makukulit, magugulo, maiingay, masasaya at kung anu-ano pa... Sunday is our family day... it is the day when we are all present in our house in Taguig... bonding time, food trip, chats, asaran, etc... I'm very happy and proud to have such family...
27, 28, 29, 30, ..... 70, 80, even 90... i would still and always be happy... happy and proud being a teacher, a brother, a friend... a husband (malay naten hahahaha)....
