I've been a fighter. I've never been a quitter. But I'm not stupid. I'm not insensitive. Though nearly numb.
I will fight for you as long as there's fight in me. A chance, I see, that there's hope for you and me. Until now, I've been waiting for that sign and until now, I still haven't seen it. I'm trying to be patient here, but everything has limits.
This is mine, right here.
I did try.
I'm done. We're done.

Trying to.
Our little secret just might be the kind of thing that you can’t hide
It’s growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in the tide
And everybody knew when you walked into the room
I was just a fool for you, nothing I could do
Everybody sees you taking control of me
Well I’m not begging for release
I’m just begging darling please, please
Act naturally
Don’t let our troubles show
Don’t let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don’t give them anything that they could doubt
Our little problem doesn’t seem to be about to go away
As far as I can tell it’s gonna keep on showing more with every day
And everybody look, yeah, that was all it took
I can’t help believing they can read me like a book
So hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right
I don’t know what I should but i
Would do it if I could
Act naturally
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I’ll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down
(act naturally)
Don’t let our troubles show
Don’t let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don’t give them anything that they could doubt
Act naturally (remove this line)
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I’ll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down

There is more to this count-up than the eye can see.
13 days.
It took 13 days for things to go back to how they were.
I only had hopes for this. It's not at all disappointing, I guess I saw this coming.
I said let's see, and that's what I'm doing. Seeing.

Kids have reason to be childish
Children never fail to disappoint.
When you have a bad day, just a hug. Just a smile from them. Just a kiss. When they say a word that they have never said before. These are the instant pick-me-uppers only kids can give.
They are children. Hence, the word, childish.
If you are not a child, you are permitted to be childish once in a while. But not all the time. And we have to make sure that someone is there to pull us back to our mature selves, cos if not, we're just big children running around the city, pretending to be adults, but really we're not.
All of us will have a specific time to actually grow up. Cos maturity definitely does not come with age. it's a choice.

A question, then a follow up question, then another one...
Why do politicians keep their focus on passing new bills or laws when we have tons but aren't implemented correctly or at all?
Shouldn't we put more emphasis on pushing for law implementation rather than creation of new laws?
If ever, why not add or improve already existing laws in order to ensure that it is still applicable in the present time rather than just that time when it was passed?
I wonder why up to now, jeepneys can still go around the metro without headlights, why they still can just stop in the middle of the street and unload passengers? And to think, this does not even concern the law but common sense and courtesy to other people.
Argh. Not to mention, motorcycles who think that they are exempted to basic rules and regulations. BASIC is the operative word here. C'mon!!!
Sometimes, driving gets so frustrating it's not even worth it.

Running a race with Time.
Countless days have passed. I can't even remember. The last time I felt.. uhh.. "zest"(?) for living. It seems time was literally going too fast that I can't even enjoy the ride. Life is a ride, enjoy it. I've been a believer of this ever since I decided not to stress too much on things that I can't control. But this is a whole different situation, this is a situation that I don't even know how to deal with. It's like I'm at a total loss..
I remember, the other day, I was about to fall into a deep sleep. I was dreaming as early as that. I was in a car and I was driving, driving hella fast. And I closed my eyes, without my control. So I could not see a thing! I just know that I was going way too fast and I wasn't slowing down. I tried to open my eyes but my eyelids would not follow my command. I was scared for my life. Even if it was in the dream. I mean would you wanna die in your dream?? I think no one would want to. The odd thing about this is that I knew that it was a dream. And I was thinking aloud to myself that I had to move my arm in my real life to jerk me out of that dream before I was dead!!! I didn't know how my mind made it happen but it happened and I was breathing heavily when I woke up. It made me not sleep again for a while.
That's how I feel right now. This very moment, this very minute. Up to this second, I know time goes by so fast and I want to soak up every moment of it. I have tons to do but I cant let those stop me from enjoying my life.
Procrastinating. That's what I'm doing. And I know this. Still I'm not doing anything about it. That's why everyday I keep wishing for some time alone. In a beach with no distractions. Just me, a good book, good weather, with peace and quiet. And if anybody would want to spend time with those too, then they're welcome to join me. But I need time to recharge. I'm getting emptied out. I know this is bad, but if I stop, it's like stopping in the middle of a treadmill run, I know I'm gonna slip and fall and I cannot afford that, I think.
Wooooozah. woooooozah. Need time. I have it. I'm just always chasing it. It's pretty tiring. If only the effects of all that chasing would manifest in real life, I'd be totally hot! Hahahaha!

This is what makes me do my job
Assessment week is halfway done.
Learning is such an integral part of being a teacher, because not only do you impart knowledge and show children the how things around them work, but everyday you learn something new that the kids have taught you, or it can also be that the children may have contributed in the universe's plot to teaching you that something.
Its such an indescribable feeling to have when you see your student show you that he knows something you never thought he knew before. You'd realize that that kid who was just sitting quietly in the corner while all his other classmates play and socialize with each other, are just taking in everything that he sees around him. It's such a damning feeling to know how much influence you have on young children.
It makes me think, that so much responsibility is placed on our shoulders when we agree to care for young children. why do we do it? because we want to contribute. our little effort can go a long way. it may be a long time before we see its effects, but the fact that we know that we did something, just makes every morning worth waking up to.
