Saw the Sixth Sense today. It's not like I haven't seen it before, but it does still make me sad. I told myself that I was going to write letters to my mahal and our bambinos, should, God forbid, anything happened.
A couple months ago I started one letter..
Dearest Bee,
I can't possibly imagine my life without you. You are and will forever be my soulmate. I can't even type this without crying because I don't ever want to know what my world would be like without you in it.
If you're reading this, then something must have taken me away from this earth. Please know I feel your pain and I know it's going to be hard, but we are so lucky to have the wonderful family that we have to help us in any way.. Well except my family on the financial part.. Haha.
Anyway, mahal ko, thank you for the beautiful life you shared with me. Thank you for the unconditional love you showered me with. I seriously didn't think I'd ever meet anyone, especially with my birth defect. I felt, and I know I shouldn't, but I felt like I was damaged goods. I really didn't think I'd find the perfect man for me.
Mahal, you always made me feel so beautiful even when I clearly wasn't, especially in the morning haha! Oh and of course when I was sick. You took the best care you possibly could of me. How lucky can a woman be.
And that's not the half of what you do for me, our babies and our families. You are so genuine, so caring, and so loving. How ever did I get so lucky?!

Remain Hopeful
So sorry for the delay.. I seriously didn't think anyone read my blog.. Haha. Thank you Miss Bean!
And once you've read it, you will have thought, "oh that's all."
Okay, so Tom comes in and tells me that he's got news for me. The first thing I say was, "Is this good or bad?" And he says both. *Sigh* And just when I thought I was in the clear. Last week all notices were sent out so i assumed the latter.
"You're going to be receiving a letter." Yikes, a letter?! Oh this can't be good. Basically, because of my credentials (Mult Sub Clad and Filipino) I will be displaced from my home turf MC, part time. Did I say that right? Anyway, I am most likely going to have to commute next Fall.
Unbelievable though, what the DO is even suggesting. In all honesty, it would be physically impossible to do what they think I should do.
Teach @ MC 60% then go to elementary for 40%, which is incredible to even consider. Tom himself said that he doesn't even know how that's going to work.
So he thought maybe I'd teach @ MC then go to the other high school WV bc they pink slipped the other Filipino Language teacher. I haven't spoken to her but all but 3 from World Language department were let go. So I assumed she, too, was affected. I should contact her. I will.
So my worst case scenerio is that I'd have to commute between 2 high schools and an elementary.. Crazy huh?! But seeing that that is physically impossible, I'm going to assume I will travel between two places in a work day.
Not the ideal situation, but I've done it before between BV and MC. And that was a difference of almost 40m! Yeah, I must have been crazy. And would you believe that a good amount of that year, I didn't have a car and mahal was my personal chauffeur! Itf how much he's sacrificed for me!
Okay so the good news is that I am still 100% full time. And Tom said that everything is contingent on the numbers/enrollment and we all know that that changes throughout the first two weeks of school. So we'll see! I have to remain hopeful that I won't have to commute, but even if I had to, I can't complain. Worse, I could have been out of a job.

I'm in my classroom today working on 6wk progress certificates and watching hip hop choreographer auditions at the same time, when in walks Tom.... my principal.
He has news for me. Good or bad, I was already feeling kind of nervous.
I want to go more in depth, but I'm actuall falling asleep now, so I will continue this another time.
Thank you for reading.

Bahay (House) Checklist
It's kinda funny that once you get older, your priorities have changed ten-fold!
I sent mahal an email on Feb 25th.
Hi Nee (oooh, long time since I used that on you yeah?!),
From who knows where am I getting all this energy, but I am on a mission to get our house in order.
In random order, these are things that need to be bought...
I know this will be an ongoing list, but having everything listed will help us accomplish each task. Definitely edit as you see fit!~ Can you tell I'm on a roll? I seriously don't know where this motivation is coming from! It's not like I'm nesting.. or am I? haha.. only God knows. And only God can help us! Love you beibyboy!!
Since, 2.25, the bold have been done.. not too bad I guess.. hehe But now, I've thought of more to add to the neverending list. I have come to realize that there will always be something in our "inbox". But that certainly is okay. It's not about who has the most toys at the end anyway. It's about who can put them away neatly.. j/k, I just made that up. haha!
