i'm not really a club-goer kind of person but i really think i have to go out. i was watching my 3-year old kids today as they were dancing in the room with bubbles being blown to them and i realized that i haven't gone out in ages. buti pa yung mga kids ko, they where having a blast. talo pa ako! sila may bubbles pa while dancing! my kids probably had a better time than i've had for the longest time. it's funny but sort of sad at the same time. nakakalungkot that 3-year old kids are partying more than i am. granted that they were partying in school but still! they're just 3 yrs. old! they don't really care. sigh.
anyways, this week was my 1st week in my new class and it went better than i thought it would be. siguro kasi instead of 20 kids, i only had 15 kids at most this week and believe me 5 kids less makes all the difference in the world when you're dealing with a roomful of 3-yr. olds. even with just 15 kids, it was still very tiring. i had to get used to a roomful of kids screaming their heads off just for the heck of it. kahit sumigaw ako hindi ko pa din sila masapawan. buti na lang yung assistant ko super loud mouth kaya she does the screaming and yelling for me. i also had to get used to kids talking, as in yung naiintindihan mo yung sinasabi kasi my old class, they talked pero it was all gibberish. in my new class, ang daldal nila nakakapagod na sila pakinggan. and man, the words they say sometimes. i was playing with some kids one day and i heard one child say f**king! ay talaga! at first, i couldn't believe what i heard kaya hindi ko muna pinansin. baka kasi imagination ko lng pero when i heard the kid say it again, totoo na talaga toh. i had to keep myself from yelling at him. parents should really be more careful with what they say around their kids, lalo na with the age group that i have. hay nako. tapos may isa pa akong kid that sings songs that he shouldn't be singing at his age. out of nowhere bigla na lang kakanta ng "umbrella" or "party like a rock star". nakakatawa siya pero inappropriate yung kinakanta niya. hehehe. all these new things- i will definitely need some getting used to all this.
siguro kaya i'm breaking out. ang dami kasing changes happening to me right now. nakakainis! ang dami kong pimples it's not even funny.
hopefully everything gets better next week. i'm crossing my fingers. =)

one order of gael, please
i just have to say this.
gael garcia bernal is HOT!
not only that he is one hell of an actor. he's great. i watched the motorcycle diaries without subtitles, mind you, just because he was in it and even though i didn't understand anything anybody said (except for the occasional spanish words that has become pinoy words too) i loved it and kind of (as in konti lang) understood what was happening in the movie just be watching him. all his movies i've seen has been in spanish so i didn't know if he knew how to speak in English so when i saw his first (i think) english-speaking film i just had to watch it. sigh. hearing him speak in english (in a language that i could actually understand) just made me like him even more. there's just something about him that is really....sexy. as in! yun tipong makalaglag panty talaga! i know i'm gushing but i can't help it! even when he's playing a gay character, he's still hot (hehehe). aside from his hotness, i like him kasi he's not the typical hollywood actor. for one, he's very intelligent. two, he's not afraid to play different roles. i mean come on, he played a gay character in bad education. he was even dressed in drag for it. plus, he's not afraid to show some skin. heck, he's shown every inch of his body on screen. the first movie i ever saw him in was y tu mama tambien and he was having sex on the opening scene of the movie. you have got to respect a guy who is not scared to show his body (and ALL its parts) in a movie. and three, he's not a sellout. he does big hollywood films but he still makes small indie films which are always critically-acclaimed. his films really aren't my usual movie choice because most (if not all) of his movies are of the darker sort and everybody who knows me know that i'm more of the happily-ever-after kind of movies. but anyway, the latest one i watched, The King (thank you cable tv), had him seducing his own half-sister and getting her pregnant and then killing her, his half-brother and his stepmom. how about that for a movie plot?! take it from me, his movies are not the type of movies you watch when you just want to lean back and chill.
why can't i ever meet someone like him. sigh. kahit look-alike lang happy na ako. sigh. gael (insert dreamy voice here). even his name sounds hot.
oh well, a girl can hope naman diba?

friday bingo night
last night i went to a school-sponsored bingo night. i didn't come to play but to work there. evidently parents from this school (it's not the school i work at. it's a catholic school, just in case you're wondering) were obligated to work during bingo nights or else get fined for 150 bucks. so one of the parents asked me to stand in for her and she'll pay me 5o bucks for it. oo naman ako since i had nothing to do (sadly) and sayang din ang 50 bucks. so off i went to the said event.
the sight that greeted me was one i had never seen before. first, there were a lot of senior citizens there. to be quite honest i don't think there was any bingo player in there under the age of 60 (except for this one boy who was there with his grandma). not to be mean or anything but it looked like a senior-citizen home decided went on a field trip and decided to play bingo instead. i kid you not, there was an old lady there who was already in a wheelchair and a few on walkers already. if you looked really closely, you could see their hands shaking as they marked their bingo cards. moving on, what surprised me even more was that these people took their bingo seriously. they were serious and i mean SERIOUS bingo players. they had bingo-themed seat cushions, specially-made bingo bags that had bingo markers on the side (i didn't even know there existed special markers for bingo!), bingo card holders and a lot of other stuff that apparently were used for bingo that i never knew about. the only times i've ever played bingo were on my sister's school bingo and those bingo games were fun. everybody would be shouting what number they needed next to get a bingo and you could here people talking excitedly as their cards got filled up. but last night was so different. the announcer (another senior citizen) looked like he was about ready to keel over and he would shush people when they started to get a little to noisy (because it disturbed the concentration of the other players) and the players gave you mean looks if you tried looking at their cards. for a bingo game, these people sure were competitive. it was like stepping into a different world.
while i was there, walking around and selling cards all i couldn't help but feel a little sad for them because they have nothing better to do and nowhere else to be than a bingo night. but more than that, all i could think of was that i NEVER wanted to be like them. i don't want to grow up old and have the highlight of my week be friday night bingo. god, i hope i never end up being one of them bingo ladies. please. i might shoot myself if that ever happens. although come to think of it, it was a friday night and i was already doing bingo night so- buti na lang i was getting paid to be there or else i would have felt more sorry for myself.

one rainy day
last sunday was the pinoy festival at DC and me and my friends were all going to show our all-out support for two of our friends who had bands playing there. fyi, the pinoy festival is an event that pinoys here celebrate every year, just in time for the RP independence day. they close down part of a street in DC and different pinoy bands play and there are a lot of stalls that sell pinoy stuff- food (yummy!), beer (syempre, san mig!), dvds (pati dito may pirated pinoy dvds pa din! wahahahahaha!), and a lot more (pati fake signature bags meron! hehehehe).
syempre i was looking forward to the event since it only happens once a year but lo and behold, sunday came and with it rain. as in lots and lots of rain. normally, rain would make me quit going anywhere and just stay home and snuggle in my bed. but since i was going mainly to show support to my friends, siyempre go pa din. i went there with twinks, george and loy. the metro trip to dc was uneventful. to pass the time, we took some pictures (syempre, camwhores in the train!). when we finally got there, it was raining even harder. when we got to the event itself, everyone was wet, granted there were some people (me not included) who had the good sense to bring umbrellas with them and were less wet than others but all in all- everyone was wet. but syempre mga pinoys talaga. the party must go on. people were still walking on the streets not minding the rain. people selling food were cooking bbq in sticks under the rain. in fairness, masarap yung bbq. i think it must have been the added rainwater that did it. there was no place to sit down kasi the event was done in open air and since it was raining, everywhere was wet (obviously) so we had to eat rice and bbq standing up, our backs against the wind and rain and rain just splashing on our food (yum!).
when our friends finally went up the stage, we had to stand under the rain to watch them because the small tent with seats for the audience was completely filled up. the bands were good but not to be bias or anything i think our friends' band was better than the others. the lead singer had a really powerful voice given that she was so tiny! ang galing niya! plus, i just have to say this, i think it was impressive that she could belt sing that strongly given that her jeans were probably cutting off her circulation because they were so tight! not that she looked bad or anything because she looked great. it's just that her jeans were so tight, really. i don't even think my foot would fit in one leg of her jeans. anyway, i think the highlight if the event was when the band The Speaks came on stage. i know that they had an album out in the RP and they did a song with Barbie but hindi ko talaga sila kilala. but man, did the people go crazy when they went on stage or what! suddenly there was a mosh pit in front of the stage and people were just body slamming against each other. one girl jumped down from the stage onto the the mosh pit. another girl tried to do it twice but kept on chickening out at the least minute. the second time she went up the stage and didn't go through with it i kinda felt sorry for her. i'm not a cool person but even i know that chickening out to jump to the mosh pit twice (!) is definitely not cool. The Speaks were ok. i don't really know much of theor songs but they were good. but i don't think they were that good for people to just be body slamming onto each other and going crazy over them. it was kinda funny how the people were going crazy, like they were on a real concert when in reality, they were just a small crowd in front of an equally not-so-big stage going crazy under cold rain. it was kind of lame actually. but the funny part was when the DC security guy had to go over to the mosh pit and threaten to stop the whole thing if they didn't stop body slamming and then just as he turned his back, the guitarist/bassist (i'm not quite sure what kind of guitar he plays basta he was holding an electric guitar) of the band propels himself to the mosh pit! wahahahaha! you had to be there to see it.
when we finally had enough of the rain and getting soaked, we decided to go home. but unlike the train trip to dc the trip back home was, let's just say exciting (wink wink). we were all tired so we were just keeping to ourselves in the train. we were sitting one seat away from each other, minding our own business when george suddenly moved over to the seat behind me and just started laughing. i kept on asking her what happened and she won't answer because she was still laughing so hard. she kept on laughing until we got off the train and when she finally told us why she was laughing, it totally grossed us out. apparently, they guy sitting behind her got a little too excited (if you know what i mean) and was relieving himself right there in the train. i guess he couldn't wait until he got home to do the deed and decided that the train was the best place as any to jack off. ahhh, you gotta hand it to the pervs out there.
all in all, it was a fun day. even though it rained and we got soaked, it was worth it. i just felt bad i didn't have the chance to buy dvds (hehehe). jologs na kung jologs but i really was looking forward to watching pinoy movies. oh well, i guess that'll just have to wait.
