treasured memories in xavier

-dragging a particularly famous student from the grade six workroom to the grade six bathroom...just because he did not attend a meeting

-staying up till 2 (or was it 3?)am during an LTS, just talking with other attendees

-waking up at 5:30 am during saturdays and sundays to catch SBP/Pasarelle games in ateneo or alabang

-calling out the name of a teacher while a star player was taking his freethrow shot....of course he missed!

-hanging out with high four sudents during the last day of the fair, reminiscing their grade four days!

-having a heart to heart talk with a student near the football field, and predicting what would happen to his love life...worse, my prediction turned out to be true!

-dancing with the pyramid dancers amidst the grade 6 students' pyramid building game during their class night

-celebrating my first birthday in XS while i was attending the colloquim...with participants singing happy birthday the moment i woke up right up to the time i was getting ready to retire for the day.

-sleeping in the faculty workroom after graduation so as not to be late for the flight to palawan early the following day...and all the other trips to Boracay (way back when it was not so famous, therefore it was still pristine), Cebu and Davao.

-the synthesis quarter, moments like the "wong-wong" sword fight and 2 kids "begging" for "isang piso" while lying on the floor...trust me, it was hilarious, being YMed by close to 20 Xiamen boys, begging to come home a few days after arriving from the Philippines

key to something's fishy

wait....do you have an answer for something's fishy? if not, go back to the previous blog. if you do have an answer, then read on....

key to something's fishy

the fish that you hooked acted out what could be interpreted as a final counterattack, and the place you imagined it striking is a part of yourself you particularly want to protect. It is a truth of human psychology that we often fantasize that those things we want to keep hidden will get found and the things we want to protect will come under attack. So the body part you named is actually a place you feel insure or sensitive about.

was it your face? Take a good look in the mirror. Maybe you just need to smile more.

your stomach? maybe your unconscious is telling you it's about time to cut down on the cheesecake.

somewhere between the legs? well, we all fell a little sensitive down there...
