They were talking about what happened in the Brain Quest yesterday when I arrived in the Faculty. Teacher Daisy suddenly mentioned that she was very embarrassed when during the trial question, only the Guada Grade 1 representatives were not able to answer the question, "What is the center of the solar system?" The kids answered Galaxy instead of Sun. Ang nakakahiya raw, according to Teacher Daisy, eh ang Guadalupe lang ang nagmumukod tanging mali ang sagot. Kulelat daw ang Grades 1 and 3. When I asked how was my Grade, lumalaban naman daw ang mga bata. Lalo na si Jeeogn. Dapat 3rd place nga raw sana kung hindi lang nakalimutang maglagay ng peso sign. Nanghinayang tuloy ako. Pinagpray ko pa naman sanang may makapasok na isa kahit 3rd place lang. Well, anyway, hilaw pa talaga ang lower levels. Nakakatuwa naman sina Sophia, KC, Gia and Trisha for having their respective places. Panalo si Sophia kasi champion siya for General Knowledge. Champion naman si Gia in English. Kudos!

Anyway, I handed over to Teacher Daisy the money I collected yesterday for the tuition fee. 22.5k din yun ah. Ang sarap hawakan. Hahahaha. Iniwan ko nga lang yun sa loob ng mug sa table ko. Ayokong iuwi kasi siyempre mas delikado. :D Nung nalaman nga nila, sabi nila sakin, next time, sabihan ko raw sila. Alam na.

Our word of the day presented by Mark Jhon in my Grade 4 class was 'Natiform' which means something that resembles butt. Kaya tawa ng tawa mga classmates niya. I had my discussion with them and I just wish they listened to me.

When I got back to the Faculty after class, Teacher Daisy updated me about my retraction of resignation. Naiabot naman daw niya kay Teacher Lau yung letter of retraction ko kahapon but then she was informed na nagawan na pala ako ng COE (Certificate of Employment). Hindi nga raw niya tinanggap kasi nga pinipilit na pag stay-in na lang ako. Teacher Lau will then talk to Teacher Mayi na lang daw about it. It made me uncertain again pero sabi nila, sure naman yan na papayag kasi maraming magreresign at kelangan din naman talaga nila ng teachers.

Throughout the day, I was exchanging texts with Claire.

Claire: "Eprel! I miss you so much! 😂"
Me: "May masama akong balita sayo. Mag stay na ko.
Claire: "Really? Bakit naman masamang balita? Sure ka na ba."
Me: "Hindi pa nga eh. Napaka uncertain. Kakausapin pa raw ni Teacher Lau si Teacher Mayi."
Claire: "Ahh. Sige balitaan mo ako kung ano mangyayari sa mga susunod na araw. Nakita ko nga si t.josie kanina. Tinatanong din ako if magstay o hindi na. Sinabi ko na hindi na. Uncertainty is killing me. Hahahaha. Kelan ulit tayo magdadate?"

That question. Kelan nga ba? Mukhang tuloy na tuloy na sa siya sa Singapore. I remember she wants to go hiking. Meron kaming akyat ng high school classmates ko. Naisip kong isama siya. So I asked Johndreb:

Me: "Kung sakali, pwede pa bang mag sama?"
Dreb: "pwede pa. may 2 slots pa. haha."

Hindi naman ata pwede si Klaring. We talked about the possible sched na pwede kaming magkita. So far, wala pa kaming na set na matinding date. This weekend kasi hindi ako available because I am scheduled to go to Baguio. I kinda miss her stories.

Nakakatawa si Ms. Diane, she was humming my message tone, 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' song.

We were all surprised when Teacher Lau called Teacher Daisy. We were told that Teacher Quinie will report in Diego tomorrow until Friday in exchange of Teacher Joel reporting here in the branch. Reason? There was an incident daw.  We don't know yet kung anong nangyari. But we were all curious. Remember Kuya Charry? Nag exchange sila ni Kuya Joel dahil din sa incident. Wait. Let me just clear this out. Kuya Joel is different fromTeacher Joel huh? So nagkakabiruan ngayon sa branch na dapat palitan na ang aming pangalan ng school IMRC na, as per suggestion of Teacher Chiqui. GMRC naman as per Teacher Elsha. GMRC, short for Guadalupe Montessori Rehabilitation Center. Hahahaha. Swak.

Ugh. Sinasabi ko na nga ba. Umabot na mismo kay Teacher Des na alam na ni Teacher Daisy ang balitang magpapalipat siya sa Diego. And of course, if that happens, there' sa possibility that Teacher Irene will go back to our branch. At siyempre, ayaw ni Teacher Daisy yun. So she was telling Des, "Ikaw naman. Huwag kang umalis. Dito ka na lang. Ngayon nga lang tayo nagsama-sama eh." And Des was laughing. I hope she's not secretly cursing me on her mind.

No tutorial with Kelly today. I stayed overtime in our room checking EE:R books. Pero hanggang 5:25 PM lang naman. Swerteng inabutan ko ang sundo ng Sison. Teacher Riza asked kung sasabay ako. Gusto ko!!! So she pointed Kuya Toto (The Sison's driver) going out from the restroom. Nagsabi ako na sasabay. Hintay lang ng konti kasi I needed to put my things in the Faculty pa. Hindi naman ako nagtagal so hindi ako nakakahiya. Hehe. Nakasabay ko sila Kuya Jun at Riza. Dadaan an pa raw si Ethan sa Diego kasi nag General Rehearsal for their Moving Up. Okay lang naman. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Si Riza, siyempre, bumaba sa PhilPlans. Nung tinanong ni Kuya June kung saan pupunta, siyempre, hindi ko sinabi. Niloloko nga ni Kuya June na lalaki raw ata ang pupuntahan nito.

Medyo mahaba ang panahong nakapagpalitan kami ng kuwento ni Kuya June. Dumaan pa rin kasi kami sa Market-Market. Sumakay ang mommy ni Eleisha na may dala-dalang Krispy Kreme doughnut na shinare samin. Bongga diba? Naki service na nga lang, libre pamasahe na, libre pa merienda. Dumaan din kami sa Diego to fetch Ethan. Nakakatuwa si Kuya June kasi hindi muna siya bumaba. Sinamahan niya ko hanggang pabalik. Bago mag BCDA na siya bumaba. Siya talaga ang nag adjust para sakin.

He asked me earlier kung magreresign na raw talaga ko. Sabi ko nga hindi na. Ang mababait daw na teacher dapat daw hindi umaalis ayon sa kanya. Wala eh. Lakas maka convince. :D

Bryan: "Kamusta po kayo ?"
Me: "Eto sakit ng katawan. :p"
Bryan: "Ako rin po ehhh."

I forgot to tell him, I might stay (he knows I'm already resigning) and handle his little brother Curt as my advisory class next school year.

*****

Truth was I found it sweet that EJ texted me this:

"I love you jay."

Pero umiral ang pagiging naive ko. Instead of answering back with I love you, too, I just told him the same with what I told Bryan.

Me: "Ang sakit ng katawan ko. I'm home."
EJ: "Why? Pagod?"
Me: "Siguro. Ganun na nga."
EJ: "Pahilot ka :)"
Me: "Walang maghihilot eh."
EJ: "Sayang, ako sana. Babawi ako pag kasal na tayo."
Me: "Baka naman iba ang hilutin mo?"
EJ: "HAHAHAHAHA. Natawa naman ako xD"
Me: "Toinks. Baliw."
EJ: "I miss spending time with you."
Me: "Magkikita naman na tayo sa Saturday after my duty."
EJ: "Yup. What time kita sunduin?"
Me: "Basta tapos na duty ko ng 12 noon."
EJ: "Sige. Ill be there :)"

Timmy texted informing me na male late siya ng uwi kasi mag dinner daw siya sa Megamall. So I jokingly replied to her na mag ingat at baka mabagsakan ng bigla biglang tumatalon na tao. Hahahaha. She replied, "Oh no.. Haha wag naman snaa. Salamats." Maybe, I was just trying to be funny~

I was on the verge of falling asleep when Claire texted me again:

Claire: "Eprel!"
Me: "Ow?"
Claire: "Wala lang. Hahaha."

Toinks. May another baliw. :D

Me: "Okay ka lang? Me bumabagabag na naman ba sa'yo?"
Claire: "Parang ayoko na prel."
Me: "Kets? Anyare?"
Claire: "Ewan ko ba. Ang hirap kasi."
Me: "Walang madali sa pag-ibig Claire. Mas magandang ng regret kasi sinubukan mo. Kaysa sa hindi mo sinubukan."
Claire: "I'm trying naman kaso mahirap pa rin."
