Around April this year, I met a little girl named Kaira. Kaira's got the makings of a child-star: wide-eyes, ultimate mega-watt smile, outgoing personality, talented, very smart, and very much into twinkly magic.

At that time, our classes were temporarily situated in a living room, while the "real school" was being renovated. I was flouncing around while my Level 3 students created their works and would pass by the Level 2 table -- which wasn't so difficult since it was about 5 steps away from Level 3. So I'd wave at the Level 2 kids from time to time or make a face at Teacher Linny while she taught.

After awhile, I heard someone ask Teacher Linny, "What's her name again?" Teacher Linny replies, "Teacher Roselle." At that point, I turned around and said, "But you can call me Teacher Fairy!" All the girls giggled, including Kaira, who covered her mouth to suppress her laughter.

"Why 'Teacher Fairy'?", she asked.

"That's cause I have wings", I said matter-of-factly, my face turned up high.

"Really? I don't see any wings!"

"They come out at night...when no one's around."

And with the next slew of giggles, I smiled smugly, turned around with flourish, and went back to my Level 3 class.

Days later, I would receive letters and drawings or poems all addressed to or about Teacher Fairy. The drawings would include a female figure with curly wings, a gown, a wand, and a crown. And all the Level 2 students suddenly started calling me Teacher Fairy.

I have been transformed into a winged creature! (Tell me: how cool is that?!)

Even until last week, Teacher Linny tells me over lunch: "Teacher Fairy! I have a special delivery!" It was another drawing of Teacher Fairy. By then I had decided that I should reciprocate. Perfect timing: Kaira's birthday had just passed. And, albeit a day late, I could send her a secret birthday present.

I blew up a purple birthday balloon. Then, I strung some beads on string and tied it around the balloon. Then I made a colorful card. The front read: Dear Kaira, Belated Happy Birthday! Thank you for your pretty drawings! Here's a little something for you. An arrow pointed to the inside of the card, in which I taped two white feathers* and wrote: It fell from my wings!

I had Teacher Fran wear my colorful scuba headgear (made out of papier mache), barge in the Level 2 class, and deliver my surprise gift.

It's fun pretending I could fly. :)

*You might argue that fairies don't have feathery wings. But who cares??

It's Christmas season once again and im so excited because it is the time where me and my highschool barkada get together with their kids which is happens to be my inaanaks. I only see them once a year lang =) Hope this time we will be able to see our whole barkada complete.

Last August, I was diagnosed having a lymphnode tubeculosis so the nodes had to remove. The surgery lasted in just an hour. Thanks to Dr. Liquete for taking care of my health. To my friends, dont worry im already ok and totally healed after the treatment =)

Few months ago i got hired on a chinese owned company in Malabon as a Human Resource Personnel. That's my dream job actually but when i got there, things didnt turn out the way i expected but i learned alot...and i also learned that, that position in that particular company isnt right for me. I just missed those people who touches my heart even in just a short period of time....

Anyway, here are my souvenir pix during my last day in the office and few days before my operation.

I cant believe that im here again =)...grabe antagal na since my last entry. I have so much to tell you guys but honestly i dont know where to start. But the first thing that i want to say is...i missed you guys...my blogmates...i missed your stories. Hope to hear from you soon =)



ACE TURNS 1 =)

Last October 25, my nephew ACE celebrated his 1st birthday. He grow up fst and soooo kuleeeet! =) He was excited din to open his gifts. We love you so much Ace be a good boy =')

This morning, I woke up with a smile --- for I had the most unusual dream ever. Ten seconds later, the afterthoughts started diminishing… leaving me with almost nothing. Actually, there’s nothing left now. All I remembered was that I smiled right after I opened my eyes. . .

One of the best things to do in life is to travel where you can explore different places wheather inside or outside the country. Im a nature lover kaya naman dream ko ang magtravel sa iba't ibang probinsya na magaganda ang tanawin at syempre if ever may chance to travel abroad, i want to go to a place where there's a rich culture, beautiful historical places, good people and good food. Pero syempre sabi nga nila, love your own first. Before kase I wasn't aware of how beautiful our country is, until i watched this late night show on ABS CBN "Trip na Trip", aired every Friday. I love watching this show I dont care mapuyat man ako dahil enjoy naman panoorin, very educational and informative. Bagay sa mga tulad kong nature lover pero mailap ang chance na makapag-travel =)

Si Joan, bukod sa sya ang pinaka-bata sa aming magpipinsan, sya din ang pinaka-makulit...lahat na yata ng pinaka nasa kanya na...pinaka-maarte..hehe! pero pinaka-cute naman (next to me =) She's only 6 years old at gusto daw nya sa 7th birthday nya ay naka-gown daw sya =) She's a smart little girl kaya lagi din syang nag-eexcel sa klase. She loves to dance kahit na may katigasan ang katawan. Pati pagkanta kina-career din nya. Last Feb.22 nga pala was the greatest performance of her life =) School foundation day nila at kasali syang nagsayaw ng "chicken dance"... ang galing nga nya and she really made it with her cute chicken costume =)

At first, i didnt want to be a Psychologist. Due to some circumstances which was inevitable, i had no other choice but to pursue such career. Along the road, little by little, i had managed to appreciate my course. Maybe such appreciation was due to the fact that it helped me find my way and understand myself more, and also because of the friends that i met in that gloomy, warehouselike school called GAUF (now DLSAU). Friendship that was subjected to such punishment like when we met our first psychology professor Mrs. de Vera. I could still imagine how irritating she was...ei batchmates you know what im talking about =).My experience as a student was very challenging but i enjoyed it and i really missed those days...groupdynamics, neck-breaking exams...hehe!, brain boosting psych tests, OJT, seminars, school activities, boring foundation day, senti moments and tambay days in our cubicle, how many times we came late to our classes...we live the same typical "estudyante blues" scenario. I could still remember how often we submerged ourselves in a flood just to be at school. We all had one goal in mind and that was to finish college and pursue whatever God have planned for us.
