T-Day Hooray!

Today was totally another 'first' for me. It's Teachers' Day!:-) It's one of those slap-me-am-I-dreaming-yes-I-am-teaching days of my life. I'm all teary talaga... I know, this is how shallow I am. Super babaw lang talaga ng kaligayahan ko, you know. So anyway, I went to school this morning just like an ordinary day. Dropped my bag on my desk and immediately went straight to the Kinder class where T.Apple welcomed me with a great smile and greeted me "Happy Teachers' Day", that greeting alone would've been enough for me, but then after a couple of minutes, T.Rox came and greeted me too, followed by T.Mags who entered the room, hugged, and greeted me with matching this very nice and sweet letter:

We ended the day carrying flowers, a dinner with Sir Carlo, and a bucketful of laughter, love, and hugs from children. I really cannot put into words how I'm feeling right now...I'm just so blessed by the joy that life's simplicity is showering me. Again, I'm just your average Joe, whose happiness is so mababaw. While we were having dinner, the headhunter that had been calling me for days for a job offer in SG called me. It was right in the middle of the guffaws between all of us teachers, and right then and there, I turned down the offer. Sometimes, it's really not always about the money. I've always believed in going after your passion, happiness, and purpose. When I'm not happy with my state or in what I'm doing, I'm always ready to drop it anytime because I don't want to waste time. There are many ways to earn and to get by and sometimes it's just a matter of perspective and lifestyle. I don't want to sound too religious on this one but, gaah God...wow...I am amazed with how much you've honed and is still honing me. I love You. You're truly an awesome and the greatest Teacher above all, yesterday, today, and forever. :-)
