Teacher's Day!

Yesterday was teacher's day!

And the first thing that got through me was: why am I doing this?

Apparently, it still doesn't sink in that much. So, i was in this another Hegelian struggle, perplexed yet again by lots and lots of questions. It was like, there's a battle raging between my temples. Of course, I knew the answers. This was not the type of questioning that puts me off my rail. I just love thinking and puzzling myself.

Unlike the previous years where i really get heads on with the organizers and students, like responding, "Teacher's day, come on, ewwww" or arriving late for so-called party. Thing is, i am really not moved by petty celebrations with life-sized banners "We love you teachers" sugar coated as "ka-plastikan." Students would always be one time angelic, most of the time demonic. I mean, could there anything be more shallow than this?

That is how i used to view things, until yesterday that my advisory in the student council, without my knowing but with me somehow hoping, took the capital I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-V-E.

I told them after the short program they prepared, "if there is this one proudest teacher at this moment, it would have to be me."

I really am!
