Doc in Havaianas

its 1 day to go and the semestral break will soon be over. this short lived life of pleasure and idleness will soon come to an end. still have more books to read...pirated dvd's to watch...sleeping time to enjoy...and internet hours to spend..but never had the luxury of time to do everything.

i came from a girl bonding session with my girl friends at seagilid for a morning of a refreshing time at the beach. clad in my old green havaianas flip flops, we had long walks and fun talks by the beach and ate a variety of kakanin that we brought.

relaxed and happy, i decided to have a few hours on the net to chat. its my first after a few months.i never get to have the time to chat anyway because of my ever busy sked in school and knowing that it will surely be just useless exchange ctc and asl in ym and mirc.

but today proved to be the opposite because i met Doc Ryan from CDO who, in the middle of attending to patients with hypertension and doing some minor operation, is also chatting. he must have an extraordinary talent in multi tasking hehehehe.

armed with red and blue havaianas, imagine this young doctor strutting the hospital halls with fashion. thats at thousand pesos on his feet while doing some kind of "grey's anatomy" in a cagayan hospital. anyway, he must be a nice person to be able work in a rural hospital while most of the doctors in the philippines are in high end hospitals or scattered all over the world for greener pastures. well the grass is always green because it is simply external. hope docryan would realize how significant he can be in this country where the grass is not so green :)

my eyes are tired and I'll say bye to my new friend.I guess I need to have a few hours in bed after this before going back to reality---that I still have testpapers to check and a lesson plan to make huhuhuhu

babush!

driving 101 with my converse

it was a long and tiring morning. i just came from my 2 hour driving lessons with ate ermie and of course with our ever strict kuya who never missed giving us a dose of 'pangasaba'..errr...friendly reminders diay. today was sort of a fulfillment in this outrageous and craze filled driving adventure since i was able to drive from shrine hills...to maa diversion road all the way to bankerohan market...whew unbelievable! surreal but i did it with 98% tension, fear and sweat hehehe

i had huge problems with clutch breaks and gear shifts...but thanks to my white, old and ever so dirty pair of converse shoes, I was able to managed it with a lot of palpak and less of ease. i guess i still have a lot to practice to drive like a pro.

my third session will be next sunday again and my converse shoes will still be with me on the road. dirty it may be, this converse is definitely my driving buddy :)

worn out pair of shoes

overworked, tired, super stressed and broke....thoughts of leaving the school and dreaming of a new life outside of Stella has occured to me once more today. im like a feet in a worn out and old pair of shoes desperately waiting for a breathe of fresh air and a replacement. i can't imagine myself in this community for a lifetime. i dreaded the day that i will die a teacher here- forever bitter and lonely...and always tired and in debts.

i want a new life. i want to chase my dreams and be in a world where i can be myself and good at it. i always pray for that moment that finally and confidently i would give my resignation to my directress and see the look at her face. of course she would be happy to get rid of a tiny mosquito like me hehehe. mosquito with a heart though.

a NEW HOPE came this afternoon when i bumped into a parent i once knew. mr. manalo asked me how i was and if im married. i said im okay and still single. he asked me straight if i wanted to apply for a teaching job in the US since a brother of him is recruiting recently for teachers. i was so surprised and instantly told him i was interested. he assured me to give details tomorrow. im over excited. it was a glint of hope and then i realized its not yet the end of the world for my dreams.

i told ms. erms, who share the same frustrations and dreams that i have, about the chance of getting a job abroad. hope this thing will work for me and for the both of us....finally.

i believe i can make this happen. God will be on our side. I believe He really will.

thong walk

red lights on, i was on the streets of claveria waiting for my signal when i spotted our ever famous mayor on his big bike with a hoard of bikers behind. it was good to see the mayor doing his rounds around the city and with his sex appeal, he looked so good on jeans and striped polo shirt tonight.

i had a long walk today with my new gold thong sandals from marikina :) it was my newest best buy this month and survived me hours of walking from school to NCCC and to claveria all the way to this cafe'. it really feels good on my feet and matched well with my new copper pedicure :) despite the heat of august in davao, it was a well enjoyed walk and bonding with my co teachers.

i missed Dr. Pendor's class this afternoon but was able to catch up on them at the last hour of class. got a good excuse though :) but i was so sorry for aileen who seem to have confidence problems and insecurities inside her. my prayer is for her tonight.

i need to rest my feet and be ready for another shoe post tomorrow :) nyt nyt!

last full show

waiting for 10pm is forever. its 8:20 and we still have less than 2hrs to kill time before the last full show. we have been waiting for this movie to come out of the big screen and I can't possibly miss it on its first week.

it's friday and i'm wearing my fave montego bay club espradille thongs for an exciting movie night with some closest friends. I can't wait to see John Lloyd and Sarah...im so uber excited! hahahaha

being with friends, being able to watch 'sine' once in awhile even if you can buy pirated dvds, and being able to unwind on a cool friday night after a dreaded week in school are few of the best things in life i enjoy being single...

see yah later after the movie!
