this week's highlights

i have two worries for this week that has recently passed by.

first: confirmation
it really is a super duper great of a hassle to me. well because first, its venue is at seton south-chapel. and second of all, there were a lot of things going on when sister told me to collect the requirements. during the last day that she was pressuring me to collect from the first years the requirements, i have been away at school almost everyday because i joined almost all sections in their recollection. so when she started collecting, i did not have enough because the first years were reminded during the foundation week. plus, there were those who declined because of the venue. in the end there only more or less 20 people who joined.

and a while ago, i can say that this is the most boring confirmation in my whole life in seton. because i did not do anything (i chose to not do anything) when i was there. plus, i dont know the kids who were being confirmed. i was like "pakelam ko sa kanila..."

in addition, my head was hurting big time. may be because i super duper want to go home. the first thing that i thought of when we got there was to go home.

basically, my gut totally rejected confirmation at the south chapel.

and yeah, sister has been a really big trouble. im sorry, but she has issues. she quickly changes her decisions and she "edits" what she said making us saying a lie. "ay hindi ganyan ang sinabi ko..." then we say "hindi sister, yan ang sinabi mo." then she retorts "hindi, hindi"

GAAAH!


second: PTC!
i was super duper nervous friday morning about the ptc. but when the parents came flooding in, i actually was happy to talk to them and i enjoyed chatting with them. probably because when they came they were like "sir, bakit ganun ang grade ng anak ko?" and then after i explain "ay oo nga, deserving pala nya ang grade na yan." BWAHAHAHAHA! im loving the parents.

but then, i heard from a co-teacher about a parent of a third year. this parent was really angry because she says that her "offspring" doesnt deserve that grade. the parent also added that the grade might make her "offspring" give up studying because of the "not high enough" grade that was given.

maybe the reason that my head was hurting during the confirmation was because (well, aside from me aching to get home) i was thinking of that person and what i happened during the ptc. i was really disappointed because i did not know that they were like that now. i know that i did not teach them to be like that, to treat failures as reason to give up. i know that i told them that whenever we fall, we should get back up and fight harder. i even remembered when i had them watch finding nemo, telling them "when life gets you down, you know what to do. just keep swimming." but then this parent came along with this concern. di man lang sinabi sa parent na, "di bale, next time po pagbubutihan ko na." haayy...

anyway, nangyari na. well, what i was saying three years ago might really be coming true.
i think im raising monsters.
