Teach and Travel with Colin

What does life have in store for me? I just turned 24 and I don't know how I should have felt. Nothing much happened. In my first class in the morning, my students sang a Happy Birthday song, but not for me because I didn't tell them that it was my birthday yesterday and they have no way to have known that since I never accepted friend requests from any of them. hehe. Sorry pips. Anyway, one of their classmates was also celebrating her birthday that day. It was a bit weird singing a birthday song for someone on my own birthday. haha. effing wierd -_- Anyway, my 2nd and 3rd classes were also a bit fun because we had a Show-and-Tell activity to prepare them for their descriptive paragraph writing. It was like a grade school classroom, except that they were showing off their latest gadgets instead of their sentimental gifts like teddy bears, bracelets, crush's pictures from loved ones. Looking at them having fun made me happy (that they don't have to listen to

Love is a bunch of bacteria. If your immune system isn't good enough, you are definitely gonna be sick. So feed yourself with lemons and lessons vegetables and values  fast foods and failures  cookies and courage  and a large platter of fajitas and friends.

내 인생에도 갑자기 무슨  일이 좀 일어났으면 좋겠다 I'll be alright, just not tonight. ... I know I should've been singing my goodbyes, too.  For all that I'd put through just to see you I never realized that I'd just end up  ruining everything including that I though was everlasting. I know consciously, unconsciously I still speak of you gently think of you timelessly at which my heart  then   drifts helplessly from good times to asking my self 'why not me.' Why can't we happen? It's just you and me. Now, it's just me. I've already told myself that I want you to be happy. How stupid. I should've told that to you. How stupid. But still, why does my heart clench like a fist and explodes like a bomb whenever I see your name pop out like a child hiding from a playmate and shows up when it's time to beat her. Pitiful girl. Why do I still tell the world how I feel? ...because part of that world, there is you whom I want to s

Meet my 바보 friend, Tina~ ^_^ She is already 28, but she looks younger than her age... Her personality is also a lot younger than her age... RIGHT??? YOW?? She is older than I am but she doesn't want me to call her "ate"or "언니". So, I never do...uhm...but just maybe when she acts like my grandchild. (Yeah right~ Tina's expected reaction. hehehe) She is popular among our Korean students for her strange accent every time she says... 여자 입니까??? yeo-ja im-ni-ka? are you a girl??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ We borrow money from each other. We go to trips together, especially when we were still in the academy with the Korean students. But she is going to Boracay without me....this February. eeevuhl gurl~~~ She worries about her English skills....speaking and writing. So I  sometimes check her exams, reports, facebook statuses and comments. hahahahaha. She doesn't know how to improve those skills. So, I just tell her...... We don'

There, the bus that I had been waiting for was right before my eyes, uh, sans the windshield of the jeepney I was on. I was practically at the butthole of the bus as it blew a hellish puff of clouds. So eevuhl . When I got off the jeepney, the bus took off and i just stood there, thinking it'd be off to chase after what has already left, though not yet gone. I waited for the next bus. It was an air-conditioned one. I refused. I resented it. I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt though, not a sleeveless but too short to keep warm even half of my swimming-built biceps. Here comes the next bus. Non-air. It was decent-looking. I hailed. When it crawled the last meters before me, it was the the kind I had always avoided every morning. It was decent-looking. So I got on in, though hesitantly. My right leg stretched onto the first step, my left hand trailing the cold stainless grip, my eyes locked on a fair-skinned manly-built guy a seat behind the co
