I don’t know what came into my mind this morning. There was this student who tried to talk to me last week. He said I looked familiar and asked if we went to the same school. He might have thought we were of the same age level or something. This morning, we met again at the hall where our session was held. This time, he asked about the humidity in the hall and if I’m comfortable in the far corner where I’m seated. I often saw him doing something and oftentimes blankly staring at something. Before our session ended, I made a note in the hope that it would encourage him.  But he was busy tinkering with his things and doing about his duties when our session ended. So I let the moment pass thinking that He might not let me pass on this simple note. So I went out of the hall. I was already out of the building when I felt the need to ask one of the student organizer if the office would be available at this particular time. So I went back into the hall, inquired on the office schedule then turned towards the door. It happened that he was almost at the door looking at us, so I unhesitatingly approached him as he was by that time smiling at me and handed him the note.

Thank you for your unconditional service. You’ve reached out to people, to us, with what you do here. Continue to be a hardworking person, acting on your responsibilities and extending a hand even without being asked. It will surely carry you through life, with God’s grace. God bless you, your family and your studies. He will never leave you. He will always be with you, even if it feels and seems so otherwise.  *smiley* (I didn’t wrote my name)

This was not the first time I’ve passed on a note. The other was to a 7-months pregnant crew at McDonald’s DiviSoria. She was standing the whole time, though it shows in her face that she’s really tired yet she still wore a friendly smile and a ready hand to give assistance to their customers on one busy night. McDonald’s DiviSoria was so full at that time that customers lined up for reservations outside.

I hope the notes I gave served its purpose.

I thought I was the only one experiencing Monday blues in my workplace, until I had a chat with my fellow teacher over a break. She relates to me how Monday is a dragging day for her. She would literally drag herself out of bed at times to be early at work. Then get enthusiastic to work on Wednesdays at most.

I had also read a teacher’s blog once about how she would have this Monday-nitis. Having less energy and enthusiasm to work on a Monday.

But today was different, because its a Tuesday and yet it felt like a Monday to me. I haven’t had a holiday since we still had a master’s class yesterday. Arrgghh.. I even wrote on my student’s paper the day Monday, not until she corrected me that I was made aware. Haha.. Good thing she had a good memory.

Monday is always a dragging day for me as well. Tired and looked sleepy after my work. I just want to go straight at home and sleep back, since I also literally dragged myself out of my bed in the morning. Hahayzz.. Who hasn’t had Monday blues?

I might forget that tomorrow is Wednesday already.

What’s my destressor this time? Blog hopping and sound trip while customizing my newly registered multiply account. I went to bed after submitting my assignment online but slept only for a few minutes. My sister woke me up for a question and couldn’t put  myself back to sleep again. Though my eyes are still heavy but my mind is so active now. Don’t want to read a book, any book in that. Wanted to watch a feel-good movie, maybe Drumline or any war movies or any one of my favorite movies. But couldn’t find one I wanted so much to watch. So here I am in the cyber world again. Maybe later I’d be in the mood to watch a movie if I still couldn’t get myself to sleep. Hahayz.. It’ll be our last day tomorrow, I’m glad, I’m so glad.

And yeah.. A bowlful or a pint of rocky road ice cream of either Selecta or Magnolia would be yummy right now. Hehe..

Ever got amused what a person could do and want to have to relieve stress or destress themselves? In class, when we can have the time, we’d go online, browse the cyberworld. Or listen to music from our music players. Sometimes I would play Sudoku or read a hand-out. Or just slump in my sit, observe my classmates and not really pay attention to the presentors, except with our professor. As if making her aware that I’m really into her class. Our subject concerns early childhood. Not my area ayt. Can’t relate so much to the topics but I’m learning. There are some also that she pointed out which I could also use with the youths.

Rocky road ice cream puhlezz..

Heavy eyes.

Tired brain.

I was planning to make a computerized lay-out of our assignment, maybe use the Paint or use the Microsoft Word or something. But what the heck! I’m so tired and it would only be a waste of my time anyway since our professor is not really particular with the neatness or on what program we used with our presentation. So went with my initial plan, scan the document, crop it, made some editing through the Paint program then make it into a Powerpoint presentation. Simple as that. Then why am I complicating it? Duh.. We’ll just have to make good with our defense tomorrow, rather, later. By the way, it’ll be our 3rd of the 4-days straight class. I’m so glad Monday is a non-school day. At least I’m not marked absent and I don’t have to inform my students that I won’t be able to handle them and ask my co-teacher to substitute for me. Hahayzz.. But I’ll miss out on the relaxation that I could have enjoyed if not for this class on Monday. Anyway, I’ve enrolled myself into this in the first place. No one else to blame, but mhe.

Thinking of it makes me tired all the more. Last night, I played with my dogs to relieve stress. Tonight, I picked up my acoustic guitar (I’m an amateur guitar player by the way..) and strum a few songs while listening to some of it in my Windows Media Player. Enjoyed listening to the fast shuffle and distinctive afterbeat of keyboards, drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, saxophone and trumpet in the catchy melody of Put3ska’s Manila Girl. The ska. Music.

Can’t imagine life without music. I’m not saying this because I’m stressed. Music do soothe a weary heart and a tired mind. I’m also glad I’m born into a musically inclined family. Truth be told, I haven’t mastered playing even a single musical instrument, frustrated music student eh. But what does it matter? As long as there is good music, that’s fine. But I would really want to make good music other than learning the basics of playing an instrument. Maybe someday, when the instruments would want me to be a skilled one.

I should have gone to bed now. Still have a tiring, draining whole day class later.

=)

I woke up minutes before 3AM from the chilly air and exhaustion. I had dreamed that I was running unbto something and in the midst of it, I stopped and thought what day today is. I was thinking its Friday already, so I was happy since I’d be having a break for my work and master’s program this weekend. Though I still have to go to my workplace to teach handmime for our moving up program this March. Sadly, when I woke up again this morning, I realized that it is still Tuesday. Arrrgghh.. Another workday. So I laid back on my bed trying to push my mind to be alert and drag my body to stand.

It has been a long week for me. Its just as if Saturday and Sunday hadn’t passed. I had a whole day class with my master’s program since Friday until Monday and what made it more exhausting is the requirements asked of us which should be submitted on the said dates after our professor’s lecture. draining eh. I’m glad I’m done with that subjecvt and had gained 3 units on it. Hahayz.. Another 3 unit subject coming up on the 20th to 23rd, again.

So you might have thought I’m excited for Valentines eh. Hehe..
