Smell my foot

Korean school chronicles.

For this month:
* i learned how to spell my name

* I also tutored as a substitute for one student for 4 days. I really like this 12 year old Korean. She's so funny and playful and both of us dont have to adjust with each other. We became friends instantly.

One time she was reading something,..she stopped in mid sentence and told me "Teacher, can you smell my feet?" . I tried to pretend that i didnt but it smelled like i dont wanna tell. Well anyway, she was laughing because she said that the aroma went up to her nose.

So what she did was to get one shoe and put it to her nose to smell it then she took the other shoe and smelled it too. Ang cool, amuyan pala ng paa ang trip nito.

So yun. Hindi ko sya mapagalitan kasi pati ako natatawa sa kanya. She looked like a character straight out of a funny anime/Manga comic book.

On her fourth day with me, i told her that it would be the last day i would tutor her. She told me that she wanted me to be her teacher, but i couldnt stay later for her. Nag9 hour shift na nga ako para sa kanya.

So she gave me this: this means " i will miss you teacher".

Now i know why it's so fulfilling to be a teacher.

love,

KEDS

My student and I were talking about a situation that she felt bad about.

My student says "my 2 kids are becoming fat. I feel bad that they had UTI and I didn't bring them to the doctor. They became bloated."

"They dont look cute anymore because they are 4 years old, they are big." , she adds.

I said, "I think 4 year olds look cute." while picturing the kids in my neighborhood.

She says "They dont even have exercise, they just walk around the house"

In my mind I say, what kind of kids dont go out and just stay inside a house all the time. And so I replied to her, "What do they do inside your house, do they play video games?"

Then she gave me the most puzzled look of the year. Apparently we weren't talking about her kids but her cats. (Meow!) Well, she pronounced it as KEDS.

Sorry, my bad.

Story of the Day:
I keep thinking about a tale my nurse used to read to me about a bird whose wings were pinned to the ground......In the end when he finally frees himself, he flies so high he becomes a star. My nurse said the story was about how we all have something that keeps us down......

Hello world, ang hirap palang maging bum.please wag nyong i-try.
On my former post, I was looking for suggestions to earn money and study as a cartoonist. I need 30k. huwaw, kapit na sa patalim 'to. (rufa mae voice)

May mabuting-loob na nagsuggest sa akin (kuyanin) na maging barista daw ako sa Starbucks. I love that place, at parang cool diba..pero hindi pwede dahil LDS ako. We live by the word of wisdom and that means no coffee or tea. Basta nothing addictive. Don't get me wrong, I'm really thankful for his idea pero isipin nyo na lang halimbawa isang Muslim na nagtatrabaho sa Monterey. diba hindi okey? Kaya naisipan kong magtanong muna.

Anyway,ngayon ko lang naisip na ang tamad ko pala. That's why i decided to get off my lazy as* and start looking for a job. Aleluya.. habang nagtatraysikel ako sa Paranaque, naalala kong isa pala sa pangarap ko ay magturo ng English sa Koreano. Yan ay dahil kakanood ng Full House at My Girl.ahaha ang babaw.toooot (mura yan). Pero, I liked the idea dahil maganda naman ang compensation at tadtad ang P'que ng Korean schools.

I hope they hire me!
what are your thoughts on this job I applied for?
