Busy as a Bee
I wasn't able to post on my blog for quite sometime kasi may diperensya ang aking PC. My PC would just shut down for no apparent reason. I've reformatted my HD twice this year hoping to fix the problem, wala pa rin. Akala ko naayos ko na but then yesterday bumalik na naman ang sakit. Haaayyy!
Kahit naman maayos PC ko hindi pa rin ako magkanda ugaga sa mga gawain dito sa bahay. Yes, umalis na ang aking maid na si Jogalyn, sya ang nakakita ng doppleganger ko. Akala ng marami umalis sya dahil sa mumu, aktuwali umalis sya kse miss nya makaniig ang asawa nya gabi gabi. Sabi ko nga baka buntis sya. Siguro si Tanggers kinikilig sa name ng ex-helper ko, Jogalyn. Sayang wala akong picpic nyang puwedeng ipakita sa inyo, para malaman nyo bakit sya binansagang Jogalyn. Malamang alam ni Tanggers kung bakit. Hehehe.
Nagsidatingan mga kamag anak from the province. 2 cousins are now staying with us since they are working here in Metro Manila. Yung isa lilipat pag nag start na ang training pero hindi nya alam kung kailan. Yung pinsan kong babae naman kaka start lang sa call center at wala naman syang ibang puwedeng puntahan na convenient para sa kanya na tirahan. Then the parents of these 2 cousins arrived 2 weeks ago, stayed here for a week. Ang kanilang tatay ay pumunta ng US para bisitahin ang kayang mga magulang. Logically dito sila titira dahil nandito ang dalawa nilang anak. Since walang katulong dito, tulong tulong kami ng tita ko sa gawain bahay.
Pero may mga changes pang nangyari.
May tutorial center na po ako.
Kakaumpisa ko lang officially July 19 with 1 student. Hehehe. Nagiisa pa lang student ko sa ngayon kaya wala akong income, puro out ang pera ko. Huhuhu. Actually, meron 2 possible students kaso mahirap mga kaso nila dahil kinder 2 pa lamang sila eh marami na silang academic load at problems. Kung ako lang masusunod, I would rather not take on students in pre-school till grade 1. But the Lord has an odd sense of humor, He likes to give me what I've been trying to avoid since I've started tutoring. He gave me a grade 1 student, who is fine naman, plus a kinder 2 student who seems to be spaced out most of the time and I might have another kinder 2 student who has problems writing and seems to be hard headed according to the mom. Haayyy! Buti na lang nasa Pilipinas ako. My mom's friend Lani, who is a pre-school teacher in Texas, told me her stories. Hirap daw talaga magturo sa mga Amerikano. Alam ko, I once had a tutee na kano, muntik na akong mag walk out sa partuturo sa kanya.
Magpapasalamat lang ako sa mga pang post ng comments at nag tag sa shoutbox ko, mga naghanap sa akin na para aking nawawalang baboy sa koral hehehe: Helltracker, MommyBa, Char, Ka Uro, Teacher Sol, Senorito<-Ako, MEC, Melissa, Russ, Watson, Hany-nany, Hanagirl, Dr.Emer, Kitty, Ate Sienna, Tanggero, Miatot, Duke.
Btw, advance happy bday to Hanagirl, is it on the 27th or 28th?
Trishaaaaa I think the event is an entire August thing, check the night time sky from 10pm till 12:30am. The encounter will culminate on August 27th. Abangan mo na!

Mars (Mark your calendars, a "One Time Event!")
Mars 
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!
This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that
will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in
recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is
in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth
in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest
75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye .
Mars will be easy to spot. At the
beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m.
and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are
closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its
highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty
convenient to see something that no human being has
seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at
the beginning of August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the
month.
Share this with your children and grandchildren.
NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN

Astral Projection or Sign of Impending Doom?
This morning, I went to visit my aunt who lives next door. She told me at once that some 2 weeks ago she saw me, at around 7-7:30 AM having breakfast in the kitchen. Then she went out with her daughter and she also saw me in the living room going towards the altar. She was able to see me through the windows kasi walang kurtina sa buong bahay, general cleaning kasi. She kinda shouted at me saying, "Bukas pa ang ilaw nyo dito sa harap," so I would turn off the night light outside. She found it strange that I didnt respond to her or acknowledge her. A few minuntes later she saw that our light was still on. She thought that maybe I didnt hear what she said. She brushed this off as nothing. She only realized now how strange it was that it seemed I was in 2 places at the same time and that I didn't acknowledge her comment. She said got goosebumps as she the maid told her the story and kinda got some weird feeling that this happened 2 times already, "Bakit ikaw?" she asked. I said "Baka malapit na akong mamatay?" to which her respose was , "Oo nga!" I laughed because she seems convinced that these were signs that something bad was going to happen to me.
Prayers, mass offering, incense burning are some of the "tips" concerned people gave me to avert whatever bad thing's supposed to happen to me. Nakakatamad hehehe. I guess if it's my time to go then it's my time to go.
Advance goodbye to everyone, till next lifetime?
