the week...that was...


My week went by so fast that I barely notice that today is a weekend. When I was still a domestic goddess (ha! i know--ala dyosa), one week is really dragging and sometimes boring. Although I love every moment at home, I still feel like something is really out there for me. And I also knew from the very start that someone has to burst that pretty bubble I am in. (hubby did!)

My hubby encouraged me to take the chance of teaching college. My mind was already set being in our safe haven for a year but I guess not all our plans are meant to happen. Along the way, there will always be diversions which I have to reflect deeply and I reckon I have reflected it well.

I am now so busy juggling work, studies and family life at the same time but I am just so happy doing those roles cut-out or tailor-made just for me. I love being a student and even though I really want to sleep in every saturday morning, I know that iI have to drag myself out of our bed for school. Learning is just something that I cannot simply slip way. At the end of the day, I look back and I am pretty happy with the choices I made in life.

Being a teacher or an instructor in college is all so new to me. The transition is not at all easy peasy. Preschool world is fun and colorful and always happy. College is challenging! I need to be updated with my lessons so I usually spend sleepless hours browsing over the net like visiting on-line datajournals and other scholarly materials for add-ons.

Just like this week, I was busy compiling notes and researching topics that need to be dissected. I read it twice, or sometimes thrice to be able to see the connection. I am just so happy that my week went well and my students are prolly satisfied (hopefully) with what I have shared with them. It is still quite a long journey ahead. There will always be obstacles along the way but I will get by. I think I always do.

Today was a busy day for me. I woke up early to get to school on time. We had a lively discussion in class. I went home dog tired. I took a short nap and decided to clean our home tweet home. I changed bedcovers, pillow sheets and blankets and applied Pronto on the floor, wiped-clean the window and segregated our laundry among others. I finished late in the afternoon and when hubby arrived, he helped me out by sweeping off the dry leaves on our front yard. 

Oh well, we had a petty fight and I ended up frying rice with garlic, hotdogs and fried fish on a saturday night! (on a saturdate night, for gun’s sake) I was mad because it took him so long to use the toilet. hahaha! My man is so hooked up with candycrush  that he brought his gadget with him inside and played while waiting for that much-awaited poop to get out. hahaha!

But I don’t want to ruin our saturdate so I invited him to eat dinner with me. Then we laughed like silly couple having a great time eating our ala-breakfast meal. We went to the city and paid bills, strolled around our extended “sala” (living room--the mall,hehehe) and capped the night with nachos dipped in 3 different kinds of sauce/dips and pasta carbonara with garlic bread. We had a fantabulous moments sharing our dreams and talking about the days of our lives.

Twas a good, happy saturdate after all! :-) Nytinyt! :-)
