Monday is supposed to be an upbeat starter of the week, but in my case it became lame! 3 hours of sleep, moody, kinda lazy to come to work, and a bit of headache – that’s how I started my day. It’s 2 days away from Khmer New Year and the school is supposed to be closed. There are more or less 50% students who came to school today. Most of them are already vacationing while us were nanny-ing the kids who came.
I can still remember how happy the students in the Philippines whenever there’s no class or even if holiday’s coming soon. Most of the students would be happier not to come to school so they can go out to the mall or watch movies, unlike the students here in Cambodia, where they prefer to be at school rather that at home. They said it’s boring at home and at school they can play and gossip with their friends! For me there’s no problem with that but I find it really boring when you’ve got nothing to do aside to watch them where they are. I have done my lesson plans ’til July so the only thing I need to worry is their assessment tests which could be done easily. I would rather have a busy teaching day than to babysit my grade 6 students.
Tomorrow’s the last day of school for the week, to give way for the Khmer New Year. I hope something good will happen or else, i will be bored again 
dati nagsisimba lang tayo sa Notrdame Church sa Ho Chi Minh, ngayon serious na tayo sa careers natin. at ang pinakamalupet, love pa din natin ang isa’t isa! wag kang magbabago kahit pa maubos lahat ng scrolls at potion sa mundo…love you dad!
This video is dedicated to my students who are now studying Jennifer Bassett’s “Phantom of the Opera.” All of them are very much touched with Raoul and Christine Daae’s love story that they don’t want the book to end. I know this is one of the best stories they’ve read through our months together and I do not want them to miss this chance to enjoy the beautiful song which is sung by Emma Rossum (Christine Daae) and Patrick Wilson (Raoul).
Enjoy!
Raoul
No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I’m here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I’m here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.
Christine
Say you’ll love me ev’ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that’s all I ask of you.
Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you’re safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.
Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.
Raoul
Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that’s all I ask of you.
Christine
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.
Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.
Christine
Say you love me…
Raoul
You know I do.
Together
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me…
that’s all I ask of you.
Bilang magulang, responsibilidad natin na ibigay ang lahat ng mga pangangailangan ng ating mga anak. Kasama na dyan ang edukasyon, bahay, damit, pagkain, pagkalinga at pagmamahal. Minsan may mga pagkakataon na parang gusto mo ng sumuko dahil parang hinde mo na kayang solusyunan ang mga problema pero hinde mo magawa dahil may mga anak kang nakadepende sayo. Sa paningin nila isa kang superhero, na kayang gawin ang lahat! Ang hindi nila alam, tao ka lang din na nanghihina kapag may pagsubok na dumarating.
Ngayong isa na akong magulang, napagtanto ko na tama pala ang mga sinabi ng nanay ko nung ako’y bata pa. Sabi nia, “darating ang panahon na ulo mo naman ang sasakit pag me mga anak ka na!” Tama nga si mama, masakit nga sa ulo magpalaki ng mga anak, pero hinde naman dapat gawin iyon na problema. Mas mainam kung magagawan ng paraan para maging maganda ang pagsasama at masaya ang buhay.
Para sa kin kayamanan ang aking mga anak, anghel sila na hulog ng langit kahit ubod sila ng kulit. Kahit na minsan ako’y galit, ang pagmamahal ko ay hindi nababawasan bagkus nadadagdagan pa. Kaibigan nila akong maituturing lalo na sa panahon ng pangangailangan. Kung may mga bagay man na hindi pa nila maunawaan sa ngayon, alam kong darating ang panahon na kami’y magkakaintindihan. At ang lahat ng ito’y aking sentimyento bila isang ina na walang hangad kundi ang mapabuti sila. Ang magulang, baw!
