I had a terrifying experience today...

As I mentioned in my profile, I'm an online English teacher to Koreans. I work every weekdays from 5 o'clock in the morning (oo, morning .. dawn!) to 2 o'clock in the afternoon (tirik naman araw). Having that schedule, it is required to wake up very early and when I say VERY EARLY that means 3 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!!!

Having that early schedule, I really have to get up early sayang din kc ung tumataginting na PERFECT ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE na ****.00PHP (hulaan mo) The only thing I am concern with is the my safety. Ofcourse sa ganyang mga oras lumalabas ang mga kaaway ni Mang Jose . Rapist, robber, snatcher, holdaper, lahat na ng may "er" sa dulo! Hindi ko alam na ngayong araw na to darating ang bagay na kinatatakutan ko :(( I was being robbed!

Tipikal na umaga lang sana to.. Gigising ako, maliligo, magaayos ng sarili, at papasok na sa trabaho. Hindi pla ganun ung mangyayari! As usual, nagaabang ako ng jip sa may Sta. Mesa malapit sa Santol tapos kagaya lang ng nakagawian uupo ako sa pinakamalapit na bakanteng espasyo. Sa bandang V. Mapa may sumakay sa lalaki na tlagang nkakairita!!! Dikit sya ng dikit parang ewan! Asog ng asog eh maluwag naman so, tinitigan ko sya ng masama! Bka kc chumachancing sya eh nka-short lang ako. Aba! chumachancing nga ! Hindi chancing na maka-hipo kundi chancing para makapagnakaw!!

Nung paliko na kme sa V. Mapa kung saan maraming nagaganap at nabubuo dahil sa mga nagkalat na love nest o madaling sabi eh motel, may sumakay na lalaki na hindi ko naman tlaga pinansin. Kaya lang nung tumabi sya sakin, tlagang kumulo dugo ko! Kasi nga dikit sya ng dikit na talaga namang nakapapanginig ng laman! Tinamaan nya pa ko ng braso nya kc nagtatanggal ata sya ng jacket nya. Ayun nga, binigyan ko sya ng mala-cyclops na tingin at muntik pa ko mag-super saiyan. Ang hindi ko alam, humahanap lang pala sya ng tamang timing para mag-declare ng hold-up. May naramdaman akong pointed object sa tagiliran ko tapos bigla nlang syang bumulong saken "bigay mo na yang cellphone mo ska pera mo" at may gana pa kong sumagot ha! Sabi ko sa kanya habang maluha-luha "Kuya, maawa naman po kayo, graduating po ako" sumagot pa tlaga!! "Wag ka ng pumalag! Ibigay mo na!" so ayun... Goodbye cellphone and goodbye hard-earned money and goodbye PERFECT ATTENDANCE INCENTIVE :'( Ganito ba tlaga kpag graduating? Ganito ka-risky? Haaaaaaay...

Gusto ko man bumaba ng time na un sa jeep para magpa-blotter, di ko na ginawa. Una sa lahat, walang malapt na establishment sa paligid nung area. Pangalawa, bka taga-dun lang ung @*%#$ na yun at habulin pa ko eh di buwis-buhay pa! Lastly, wala na kong lakas pa para gumalaw after nung ngyari. Sobrang natulala lang ako at di makapaniwala na sa buong buhay ko mangyayari ung bagay na un. Kinilabutan ako kc naalala ko pa na tumingin pa ko ulit sa cp ko bago ngyari un eh. Saktong 4:47 ung nkalagay kc 25 minutes advance ung oras sa cp ko eh.

Kung irereport ko man ung nangyari, hndi ko alam kung pano ccmulan at kung mssolve ba to (di na ko umaasa) kc hndi ko tlaga mamukaan ung lalaki eh. Ang naaalala ko lang, maayos naman ung itsura nya, muka pa ngang matino kc malinis at nka-black pants sya at stripes na polo shirt pero ung klarong description? Wala... wala akong maalala.

Pagdating ko sa opisina nkatayo na ung mga TL sa biometrics, naghhntay ng mga late na sesermonan. Hindi ko na napigilang mag-breakdown at humagulgol na nga ako kay TL. Tae tlaga! 4:47 ako nkapag-in! Ano un inception? Sayang! 2 minutes lang eh... Oh well, wala clang consideration kaya wag na magmiasim! Wag lang sana mangyari ung ganito sa inyo! Hmp! GnG? Oh well, that's life! Makakarma din yang mga ganyang tao sa mundo at alam kong doble pa ung babalik sa'king biyaya :)

Kahit na sobrang nkakatakot ng ngyari sakin ngayon, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa Diyos dahil hindi nya ako hinayaang masaktan. Pwede na siguro to pang-blotter! Detalyado eh!

What I will be in 2012...

Putting up an expectation is actually not a good idea for anyone for it will hurt severely once we ended up not meeting our expectations. Many are afraid to list their own list about this matter... I am not! So here's the list of what I should be and should have in 2012:

1. Pass the PUP College of Law Entrance Test (PASSED!)

There's a saying that goes like this : "Make your PASSION your PROFESSION" so I took the PUP College of Law Entrance Test (written and oral) and last January 28, 2012 they revealed the result and thank GOD !! I PASSED IT ! And Yes! My Mom's so proud of me :))

2. My first Valentine with my significant other...

Our relationship started last May 2011 and this will be our first time to celebrate Valentine's day together. So, I am expecting to have this love season with him and probably I'll also be expecting something romantic from him (cummon' girls, we all expect this) hahaha!

3. Be regularized!

This coming February 29 will be the date of my regularization (hopefully) here in Spicus. This is my second job as an Online English Teacher or ESL Tutor as they call it. I know that working in this kind of industry is not really as stable a other field but I can't see anything bad in this career so I'm still hoping to continue.

4. Pass all my subjects!

This semester I must say is one of the hardest part of College life. This is like a test not only of knowledge... not only of guts... but also the test of flexibility. Restless days and sleepless nights for our examinations every meeting! To God be the Glory!

5. Lose some weight :)) Seriously!

I have to achieve my summer-ready body back!! I noticed that I gained weight after the festive season last year and my goal is to have my smokin' hot body back! I still have two months to make it happen :))

6. Rock the Graduation March!!

I want to look dazzling on my graduation march so others won't feel we experience"hagardo versoza" moments.

7. Start my first class in Law School with a BANG!!!

I don't want to look nerdy nor out-of-control on the first day of my class in Law school, I just want to look respectable yet approachable so my new classmates will not make a wrong impression out of me :))

*** that will be all for now but i still have a lot to expect ^^
