21 and single.. ever since.

It's true. I'm single, I cant say I'm happy nor can I say that im not satisfied. That's because I've never known what's it like to not be single. it's just so weird that people make a big fuss out of it. Minsan kinekwestyon pa nila ang gender preference ko--

Tomboy ka ba?

Toot. Nakakfrustrate. Sa una sasabihin nila "Imposible! sa ganda mong yan?" (nagbubuhat na ng bangko). Sa huli, binibigyan na nila ako ng unsolicited advice tulad ng dapat daw open ako at baka daw masyadong mataas ang standards, at kung sino dapat ang pipiliin ko. Maybe Im a little picky. Pero in making choices kahit na ka-date lang, you have to make the best choice. Hindi yung pipili ka lang just to try it kundi pipili ka because you mean it. Kaya i'd just like to repeat -- your advice is unsolicited.

My point: I am perfectly content with just myself right now. Being single doesnt mean i'm lonely.
Walang hang-ups ang pagiging single. Nagtataka nga ako sa mga friends ko na tinatakasan lang ang mga magulang pag may gimik pero kailangan pa magpaalam sa boyfriend. Bakit? Bakit??

Pakiramdam ko, hindi pa talaga ako handa sa mga commitments ng isang relationship. Nageenjoy ako pag nakakaalis mag isa (sure ka ba,ate?). Na wala munang masyadong inaaalala kundi ang pamilya ko at career na hindi ko pa masyadong ma-handle. I know that there's so much that's happening right now and I feel that if I do enter in a relationship, it would be a affected if not baka maging disaster pa.

Teka why am I even explaining? Para tuloy naging official statement 'to.

Anyway, in my mylot page, i made a question similar to this (im 21 and single ever since.. is that odd?) I loved the responses that those lovely mylotters gave me.

"No, it's not strange and don't let anyone make you feel that
you need to be in a relationship in order to be happy. You're still young,
you still have things to do and you're still growing and changing. " -spalladino

"The fact that you didn't have a boyfriend till now only means that
you value yourself so much that when you found the 'one', you want him to be
the 'only one'. Don't think about it so much. Love will find you for sure." - anneshirley

" Having a relationship is not a requirement for being a complete
being. This is not strange as we have our own preference, and we opt to
follow our paths. You are only 21! That is a relatively young age... so, no
rush. Learn from other people and build a meaningful relationship with
minimal errors and hurt." - TheManager24

Just sharing. What do you feel about this?

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.

Next, look at how adorable these monogrammed towel wraps are. They can be personalized to add the names of the new gift owners. And the fabric looks soft and I'd love to use them after a shower . They come in cute colors too.

The last gift idea is from Lipstick Shades. These personalized children's plates and placemats and are great for children who love colorful gifts. It's useful too. You can also use them to learn some words through the picture designs.

suggest a game! im desperate.

Me and my church mates were brainstorming for the upcoming sportsfest that we were going to organize in our area. We were so giddy that time ( i dont know why)..

of course aside from the usual basketball, volleyball, and water volleyball games, here were some unique suggestions:

1 Tug of war with flour

2 Tiyakad with beads

3 Pakwan relay:
...Dalhin ang melon sa finish line gamit lang ang pisngi ng lima mo pang kagrupo

4 Swat that butt cracker challenge:
..isabit ang skyflakes sa bandang pwet at magpaluan gamit ang nirolyong dyaryo. Panalo ang hindi mabasagan ng crackers


Creative ba?

We need help, now can you please suggest a game that's decent?

Chrysanthemum

Earlier in this blog, i have said that i wanted to be a korean teacher (like it matters right) heck yes it matters, cause this is my life blog. Well anyway, to cut the long story short, my friend declined the job and so it went to me.

oh my gums, im a loser.
Nope, I'm not, ..the job is flexible, there's free wi-fi, sometimes they give me authentic korean food, and my students are old enough to hang out with.

Today, one of my students told me, "hey guess what, we gave you a nick name"
it;s pronounced Kuk Hwa (which sounds like my real nick name).
it's spelt like this.


I asked what it means.
He said " it's a flower for our funerals"

What?? of course i dont want to lie and say 'What a great name.. thanks..but no thanks.'

okay so he looked in his dictionary and Kuk Hwa actually means Chrysanthemum. So it's a nice name after all.

what will you name your future baby?

If I'd have a baby (that is in the future, cross fingers), I'd name her 'Kara' if she's a girl. It's perfect and I find it unique. I also heard my friend say she wanted to name her future baby 'Hiyas' which means gem in Filipino. Great choice! But I still haven't thought of a name for a son. I found a site that gives you a huge database of names and their meanings! Namespedia.com is where you can find gazillions of names listed. Makes it easier for future moms out there who haven't decided. You can also add your own unique name, put a name meaning and list it under any nationality. Right now I'm contemplating on Alexander, a famous Macedonian name. So, what will you name your baby? Go ahead check their list!

the worst daughter.

Kahapon, birthday ni mama. Before pa man mag-April (at pag yumaman na ko), ito ang mga gusto kong ibigay sa kanya

1. spa & facial gift cert (not plausible, di pa ko mayaman)
2. beads (sa Manila pa to binibili, di ako marunong magcommute don)
3. clothes (mapili sya masyado, baka hindi magustuhan)
4. fancy makeover (not plausible, baka maoffend)
5. buy her a plant (best option, ngiti hanggang tenga)

at nung sinuggest ko 'to sa sister ko, sinabi nyang wag na daw bumili ng halaman, magorder na lang daw kami ng pichi- pichi. Teka, kelan pa naging mas okay ang pichi pichi sa halaman. grabe creative namin 'no.

well, ito ang mga ginawa nya nung mismong bday na:
- nag grocery
- nagis-is ng c.r.
- naghugas ng pinggan.
- bumili ng kamatis sa tindahan para sa tacos.
yup that's right, dakilang nanay sya.

pero ako gumawa at nagslice lahat ng ingredients.

we never bought the plant, nor the pichi pichi. and i forgot to buy anything cause i remembered her bday on the eve. so i had no time. now you know why that's the title of my post.

PS.
my father who i was secretly mad at for not buying my mother a cake yesterday, secretly sent me a message to gift wrap a digicam he bought for my mother. yehey.
