3720 and Counting.



I've always loved music. I cannot imagine my day without hearing those gorgeous melodies. I don't care if it's Beethoven, Offenbach, or Chris Brown. As long as it doesn't hurt my ears, or not one of those lousy local bands that you hear on cheap radio stations, I will listen to it.

Since yesterday, I was so busy searching for new artists and songs that will add to my collection. So far, I've got 3720 songs, 10.5 days, and 14.44GB of music in my iTunes.

And now, thanks to eBay, I can bring my music inside the car. Praise to the iPod FM transmitter that I've won earlier this day. Wohoo!

TGIF

Thank God It's Friday!


I never wanted this day of the week so badly in my entire life.... till now. haha. Now I realize why people look forward to this day.

Work is fun but it is not a joke. Teaching students in three different levels (primary, secondary and tertiary) is very challenging. It is difficult to adjust every day to their level of thinking. Imagine teaching college on mondays, then high school on tuesdays, college again on wednesdays, elementary on thursdays and college once more on fridays. I think I'm going insane. haha

I have no problems with my high school and college students. BUT the grades four and five are a big pain in the butt. These kids are so hyper and their attention span is very short. aaahhhh!!

I am still on the process of adjusting. Preparing different lectures every night is kinda exhausting. sigh...  And I'm now getting used to people calling me "Sir", "Mister", and "Teacher". haha

There is one great thing about work... I think it solved my sleeping problem. Now I can sleep before 2:00 am!! yay

Teaching has its price... so can I have my paycheck now?

Lunch by candlelight

3:30am


I was waken up by the strong winds and rain. I was surprised because 2 hours earlier, the weather was calm. I reached for the light switch but there was no electricity!!! waahh! Now how can I go back to sleep.

I went outside and saw mom and dad also awake. They told me that the storm changed its direction and is now near Metro Manila. 

It was kinda scary because you can't see anything outside. You can only hear strong gusts of wind and rain pouring heavily on the roof. yikes.

I went to my parents' room and tried to sleep there. I also brought my iPod with me so that I won't hear the scary noises outside. Good thing I recently got my Sennheiser in-ear phones which I won from eBay. haha.

I woke up around 10am. Rain was still pouring, and the wind was still strong. Oh, and still no electricity. 

No electricity = no food. 

waahhh!!!

So my sister tried calling fast foods and asked if they were still doing deliveries considering the bad weather.

We got lucky. haha

Ok, here's a pic of our lunch by candlelight:



The power was restored around 1:00pm... Yay! now we can take a bath! lol
