Ms. Feelgood
Yesterday, one of the students I've handled said to me "we love you, Kitch!" The day before yesterday, the batch I handled in Manila gave me 3 bracelets in a pretty green box plus a card with a Maya Angelou quote (I love Maya Angelou). Little gestures like these make the anguish and stress of this job all worthwhile. I'm not so sure if they like me because I'm not that strict and I'm too patient with them but what the hey, it feels good knowing that you've made a difference somehow.
Still Not Over
I'm still super crushing on Hotsiebaybeh. Grrr. I'm just counting the days when I'll wake up one morning and find myself not gigil with him anymore.

All I Want
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It’s the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free
Oh, the memories this song brings back. I used to be in love with this guy, a long haired rockstar, and this song totally zeroed in on the way I felt about him (although we didn't really kiss). I met up with one of my closest friends the other day and we reminisced about our "Almost Famous" days, one, if not the best year of our lives. Now that I'm immersed in my regular, everyday routine, everything that we went through four years ago seems surreal. I digress. Have you ever fell in love with someone and then realized later on that it's just not gonna work in this lifetime? For me, what I felt for my long haired rockstar was so right, it felt as if the cosmos was supporting me all the way, until THE END happened. And that was it. It was good while it lasted, as I always say, but looking back, I can still say that he was the one, but not in this lifetime.
