The Wandering Deity's World

Came to school earlier than usual. Got lots of things to do which I neglected during the vacation. No one’s in yet except the boss and this little boy...

He was probably bored because there’s no one to play around with, so he decided to scare me off as I was coming out of the washroom. I nearly slipped and screamed at the top of my lungs, much to his amusement.

When his homeroom teacher arrived, I told what the little monster did. He was asked to apologize. He didn’t say sorry, instead he shyly muttered, "I love you MJ".

The Nami Seom Experience 

Koreans are celebrating Chuseok this week. Everyone's enjoying a five day long holiday (September 21-26). I decided to tag along with Jo and her friends last Monday to make my vacation worthwhile.

Jo brought us to Nami Island, famous for the Winter Sonata, a Korean soap opera which was really popular back in 2003. I think it was also a big hit in the Philippines back in 2004.

Had a great time and got to meet new cool people -- Anari, her husband Jun, her aunt and two wacky uncles, who provided the group with hilarious antics through out the almost ten hour long commutation.

Check out the photos here...

Namsan Picnic 

As if the trip in Nami Seom wasn't enough, Jo organized a picnic in Namsan. Because of the short notice, we didn't really have enough time to prepare food to feast on, but the great company conciliated the lack of goodies and allayed the the mile long hike we had to endure.

And... I got to see my former room mate, Tita Noemi, also little Gwen, whom I haven't seen in two years. The last time I saw her, she could barely walk. Now she's a bubbling tiny person who speaks her mind in English and in Korean.

Pictures here...

Tagged by Rhey. I should have done this a long time ago. I forgot the first one who tagged me. Gah.  

Food: I basically eat anything under the sun, except this one Filipino dish that a former roommate cooked. It’s pechay with tuna. It was the most disgusting thing I have tasted in my whole life. I’d eat tuyo and daing anytime of the day, just don’t feed me with that crap again, ever.

Fruits: I don’t like star-apple. I also don’t like fresh cherries. I prefer the bottled one.

Veggies: I don’t like okra.

People: Like Rhey, I hate user-friendly people. You know, the type that hangs around if they know they can benefit something from you. I can smell them within ten-mile radius. I also abhor manipulative friends, the kind that pretends to be caring and all, and subtly suggest how to run your life, like you don’t have a brain at all. LASTLY, I detest people who pretend to be good friends -- call or e-mail you when you're down, offer "HYPOTHETICAL" comfort, bless you in the name of God... and... GOSSIP about the details of your agony to everyone who cares to know, with a guffaw to boot, like your misery is a total comedy for them. Gah. I wish they drop dead, right now.

Event/Situation/Incident: You are fired! Gawd, I hate that.

TV shows/movies: I hate stupid reality shows and dramatic soap-operas... no wonder some people are so full of shit, they watch too much crap on TV.

Music: Any music with incomprehensible vocals. Can anyone really enjoy music with the vocalist mumbling something like a voodoo curse?

Household chores: Yeah Rhey, I hate doing the laundry, too. That and washing the dishes. I rather clean the house all day long. 

Thing/s around the world: Racism.

Thing/s about myself: Pickle-mindedness and getting bored so easily. I wish to be more stable. 

Will someone make a 10 Things I Love The Most? That would be awesome. If we could write about the things we hate, I guess, it's appropriate that we write the things that we love.

I am tagging everybody... just do it if you want. And let me know.

My boss finally decided to  hire a new foreign teacher. Thank goodness. Not complaining here but handling all 150 students in a week, for 6 hours everyday, is probably like having sex with an NFL team on a weekly basis. (I dunno why I made that analogy. I just thought of that.) I am terribly exhausted at the end of each class and often wonder if I'd be able to work again the following day.

And since I can now consider myself a senior teacher, I have the option of choosing which class to handle for the homeroom.

Should I choose the parrot like students?

Me: Class, repeat after me.

Class: Class, repeat after me.

Me: Read from the top.

Class: Read from the top.

Or the smart assess who never fail to give me a migraine.

Me: (Reading from the book) And Herman Cortes, the conquistador, after coming back from Mexico, presented the King of Spain with the cacao seeds from the Mayans and that started the popularity of chocolate in Europe.

Smart Ass 1: Why Cortes give King only chocolate?

Me: Maybe because the King likes chocolates?

Smart Ass 2: Kings don't like chocolates.

Me: How did you know that? Do you know any king who hates chocolate?

Smart Ass 2: No teacher. Do you?

Me: (Silently prayed, God grant  me the serenity...)

Smart Ass 3: Why Cortes not give King gold?

Smart Ass 4: Yes, teacher. Why no necklace?

Smart Ass 5: I'm Cortes, I give King gold watch.

Me: (On the verge of hysteria) Perhaps Cortes also brought with him some gold and jewelries. But we are talking about the origin of chocolate here that's why the other gifts are not mentioned.

Smart Ass 6: Maybe Cortes is poor.

 Me: Whatever! Can you guys just please google the answers to your other questions? That's your homework! (Continued her prayers)

I forgot, the smart-asses' parents personally requested ME to handle the Elite Class, as they don't trust the new teacher (whom they haven't even met yet).

Guess I have not much choice huh?

I got an invite in yahoo 360 from this person who calls himself Mr. Greasy Dargo. Name sounds lame, I denied but before I did so, I checked his blog and found this entry. The person in focus looks very familiar and I remember adding him some months ago.

However, when that jerk started sending me all those "moronic" messages, I deleted him from my friend's list. Not only that. I put him on ignore mode and reported him to yahoo, which yahoo never acknowledged.

I knew the guy is bullshit. Reading his messages before was a total waste of time. I can't even remember what went into my head and added him despite of his creepy dorky douchy yahoo id and worst even read his messages. Yikes. He had the nerve of telling me once that he won't send me a plane ticket to Italy if I don't show him my boobs. Dang! Do I look like a desperate imbecile ho for someone to even say that to me?

He's a classic example of an ONLINE MANIAC PERVE DOUCHEBAG! I feel sorry for the other girls who fell for his trap. I mean IT. Do you girls really think...?

Gah.

Are some women really that desperate? I refuse to believe that. I always thought we are the superior specie.

I'll think again...

G, the hunk, planning to get a blond wig,  posted a stolen survey in his blog so me decided to follow the trend and here's mine.
