MMMiii!

Today me and the other student teachers were sort of bonding, and one of them said that she didn’t really want to teach. She wanted to be a manager or owner, administrator. I said I wanted to have my own resort. She asked me if wanted to partner with her one day… I said I wanted one by the beach. And I remembered that Daddi mentioned something before about going to DisneyWorld. It doesn’t really have a beach but it’s got all kinds of stuff, a waterpark, a lot of hotels, Disneymart? and stuff.

Tom sent me a keychain from when he went to DisneyWorld and Daddi said he should send me a dead mouse and say it’s Mickey. But actually, he sent me a METAL dice keychain from Florida already. I would use it because it’s metallic but it’s a little heavy and my keychain is already heavy enough with all the unnecessary but sentimental stuff attached to it.

I mentioned this to Daddi and he said we should go to DisneyWorld one day… I asked which would be cheaper, and he said having a Orlando vacation home rental would be cheaper, although actually staying IN the resort would make you feel more like you are in the world of Disney… but being the cheap person that I am, I would probably prefer sleeping in the car.

Matt told me about this drug thing called Ephedra which had bad side-effects. It’s a dietary supplement for immediate results in slimming. I take some dietary pills too for slimming but it’s green tea extract (Fitrum) and I always forget to take it… I end up taking a pill like once a month because I always forget it. But now that I’m talking about it…. lemme take one for a bit. …

Matt doesn’t really mind me being a “little” heavy on the side and doesn’t really like me taking these pills… but the clothes want me to. so… yeah. :D

Here in the Philippines, our “school buses” aren’t always in the form of a bus. Actually, school buses here that are buses are not that often. They can usually be found for private all-boys or all-girls schools. Most of the time, the school buses here are just vans or spacey vehicles usually with some kind of a truck rack installed on the top and can be called “school service.”

When I was in grade school, I went to school and back home in one. Actually, just one year in grade school. That was in grade 5 when we just moved to the new place. Mama had a job then and we were quite new to the place so she had me be on school bus or school service.

I remembered this because of the traffic jam on the way to school today and I saw a whole lot of them lined inside a neighboring school.

I have a lot of good and bad memories when I was still on a school bus. Our driver was not a very good driver. He was always speeding and swerving and braking all of a sudden. He was such a mean man. We all hated him. Another memory is when the van broke and we stayed at the school service operator’s house and they fed us fried chicken. My favorite memory is when I blew into my tetrapack of chocolate drink and the liquid just squirted out on its own and on to the uniform of one of the other kids.

My worst memory of the school service didn’t really happen on the vehicle. We were waiting for the vehicle and playing a game… called patintero… It’s a game where the “it” group members each stay on a line and the other team tries to get past the ones on the line. Maybe I’ll explain it sometime later. (Now I remember that patintero is such an unlucky game for me). Anyway, my fingers got hooked accidentally on one of the kids shirt (don’t ask me how) and pulled him and his head hit the corner of a post…….. and it bled. He needed stitches for that. Thank God his family didn’t charge me or anything. I don’t think my mom knows about that… or anyone else O_O!!!

Oh well…. In school buses/services, you get to meet kids of different ages and usually just near your place, so it’s really cool.

For those who didn’t know, I was at a Leadership Camp (LC) at the school I’m teaching at last night. It’s actually a two-day two-night event (Friday Night to Sunday Afternoon) but I only stayed until Saturday noon. The participants are kids from grade 3 to 10 (8- to 16-year-olds)

Everything is planned and facilitated by the students. We teachers didn’t really do anything much. All that was required of us aside from eating was to watch over them for more serious issues like injuries or late-night escapades.

The “leaders” of the Camp had some games planned and a couple of smaller kids got hurt. I wondered if these kids had child insurance because the young kids were going to be by themselves without their parents for 2 nights, and most of the bigger kids were not really paying attention aside from wanting to win the games. Although one of the purposes of the camp is to be a “leader” and that includes taking care of the weaker ones.

It was fun. In the morning, for breakfast, they had to make sure that everyone was complete, or else they couldn’t eat. In each group, a kid or two got “kidnapped” and were kept in the faculty room. The objective was for the others, especially the older kids to notice that some of their kids were missing.

Kids are pretty creative, aren’t they?
