weird

i am a teacher and i believe i am good at it because i love and enjoy what i am doing.
in my last class today, we were discussing the communication process with an emphasis on each element of berlo's model of communication. because many of my examples are on boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, my students always asked questions about their own relationships. after the lesson, i decided to share joseph devito's model of interpersonal communication relationship (which was not actually part of the lessons)...and it encouraged more questions on relationships to which i tried to answer the best i can.
up to the point when they ask me about my relationship status to which i replied none at the moment...and that i am ready to be single for the rest of my life. well, they were shocked with this. more so when i said that i am not sad about this and i am happy and enjoying my life.
i was just shocked that they feel sad for me for this. as what i have previously written, it's sad to know that the society has defined a woman (or a man) based on the relationship that she has with the opposite sex...and that it seems weird to many that a person would decide to be single for the rest of her/his life and not be sad about it (please refer to my entry-my unpublished thoughts).
many cannot understand but i appreciate those who do. just yesterday, i was able to catch up with my undergraduate thesis adviser who is now based in canada. we talked about our jobs and a bit about our personal lives and i appreciate so much that she understands me in all the things that i believe in.
there are a countless others, including my family, who understand but they are outnumbered by those who just can't and/or don't...and this is what i am sad about.
i wish for a time when everybody around me would see my point and understand the choices i make...and not look at it as something weird, hahaha.
needless to say, i am still happy and i am still enjoying my life as it is. i have been receiving lots of love in and around me...so no worries for those who read this.
ciao!

two persons, two great friends

i could have just written this post with the tv series addict blog, but i chose not to because i just want one separate blog as a tribute to these two persons. i've just proven that people who have met through the internet or phone and haven't met even once in person can be friends, really good friends. some time ago, i joined this investigative/guessing thingy sponsored by the philippine daily inquirer on the net. they had this situation where members guess what's going to happen next or who is the person involved and kinda solve it. they even had chatrooms for members. from this room, i met two persons, nath who is from davao and ??? (god, i can't remember his name. i remember he works at the ateneo de manila university). we exchanged cellphone numbers in the chatroom and there started our friendship. i lost communication with the one whose name i can't remember but nath and i never lost communication, either through text messages or friendster messages. there is ...

happy new year

happy new year!!! i’ve been meaning to post since before the new year. however, there was so much traffic in accessing the internet maybe because of the many people who update their profiles and/or send their holiday greetings. plus, i had to delete many spam comments in my friendster blog site. i don’t really understand why they are there and they just keep on piling everyday. anyway, because it’s a new year, i will have a new year’s resolution. this is the 2nd year of posting my new year’s resolution. just read on my previous posts because i have mentioned this quite a few times and i even evaluated myself if i was true to the promise, hehehe. and i plan to continue doing it even if 2008 has passed. so for this year, i resolve to save. i have been working for almost 9 years now and i haven’t saved any penny. i have a bank account and all but there’s really nothing in it. i resolve to start doing this this year because i just thought that i am not getting any younger and i am n...
