What word do you see here?
In black, you see the word "good". In white, the word "evil". It's all very psychological too, because good can't exist without evil (or the absence of evil is good).

How To Decide Who to Marry: By Kids
How to Contemplate Marriage.
How would you make your marriage work?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.Ricky, age 10
How can a stranger tell if two people are married?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.Derrick, age 8
What do you think your mom and dad have in common?
Both don’t want any more kids.Lori, age 8
What do most people do on a date?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure?)
On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.Martin, age 10
What would you do on a first date that was turning sour?
I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.Craig, age 9
When is it okay to kiss someone?
When they’re rich.Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.Howard, age 8
What is the right age to get married?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.Camille, age 10
No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

I'm the coolest fourth grade teacher ever!!!
How many other elementary school teachers do you know out there have students talk to you about their relationship problems? None? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, I made a special email account to chat to my students whenever I'm bored at home (and sadly, I get more conversations on that then I do when I sign on to my regular account). Anyway, I think I might've stirred up some trouble. Here's the story:
For a while, I thought T liked M, and I heard T wanted to ask M to the dance. In class, I told T earlier during the school year that I'll try my best to hook him up with her for the dance. Tonight, I was talking to M online and asked if she would be interested in going to the dance with T. She thinks for a while, and says maybe...
On another chat conversation, S (M's friend) tells me that T actually likes D. S tells me that T told D he liked her during P.E. one day. All this was mentioned to me after I asked M about T. I now find out that there's a love triangle going on because T likes D, and J also likes D as well. Just to make class interesting in January, I told S that I'm going to have a seating arrangement where both J and T sit next to D (and I can also make fun of them as well).
So, there you have it. When the dance actually rolls around in March, things will definitely become interesting. Like any good teacher-friend, I told my students that I'll do my best to hook them up. I bet you didn't have that kinda experience in elementary school huh?

What Happens...
1) when your best just ain't good enough anymore?
2) when you just stopped caring altogether?
3) when actions speak louder than words and there are no actions at all?

Happiness = Plumpness... ???
Everybody says that when you're happily in a relationship, you (the girl) slowly start to gain more weight. Usually the average weight gain for a normally healthy weight girl is around 10 pounds. I normally don't weigh myself on a consistent basis namely because there's only so much you can gain/lose in that period of time. I would say I step onto a scale once a month just to see if there is any difference. Usually, when I'm working out on a consistent basis, I tend to gain more weight (I'm assuming it's muscle mass), so that's why a scale doesn't really matter much to me.
Anyway, I haven't stepped on a scale for a pretty long time (because I'm too lazy to find one). I'm a firm believer that scales do not show how well you've done in terms of keeping yourself healthy unless you're like extremely obese or something. My jeans are always falling off, so I guess I'll take that as a good sign... who needs to use a scale when everything you wear is quite lose now?
So, back to the point of this entry... according to my not gaining weight (at least that's what I'm assuming because of my loose pants), does that mean that I am not happy in my relationship?

Engagement Fever
I've been randomly looking at Facebook pages of people I remember from high school and came to realize that a big chunk of people have already gotten hitched... some with a kid(s) as well. I don't know what kind of fever has been going around the past couple of months, but it seems like everybody's getting engaged left and right. Should I be surprised? No, not really. I guess we're at that time when dating became a little more serious and the future... is now.
Learning that so and so hooked up is just not exciting anymore. Now I'm just waiting to hear who's relationship status has changed to "engaged". Maybe it's the change in weather or something, but there's just been a lot of talk of marriage as of late. Who's next?

How to maintain a long distance relationship
How do you do it? Props to all you people out there who have a long distance relationship and are still going (like the Energizer bunny).
Call me a loser, but I can't go for three days without my DS. It's like food, the longest you can survive without food is three days. So, in my eyes, DS = food!
Yes, not very insightful... sorry. But a post is a post, nonetheless.

Rules of Engagement (Rings)
While teaching about double bar graphs today, a random thought came to my head (and when I say random, I mean random!).
So you know how the rule of thumb to follow for guys who are looking for a price range for engagement rings should be 2-3 months of your monthly salary, right? Well, what if you're a guy that's straight out of school? For the most part, you either have $0 or you are in the debt. So a ring would cost either $0 x 3 = $0 or let's say, -$5,000 x 3 = -$15,000. How do you buy a -$15,000 ring anyway? Does the girl pay for it? Is the ring so ugly that the jeweler would pay you to get it? So many questions...
Isn't it better to be a golddigger and get engaged to someone who's been financially stable for a while? Would you rather have a nice rock or a Target looking rock?
And that, my friend is my early morning thought of the day.

Change your last name, please
Here I am, writing letters back to parents who sent checks to the wrong place... AND, I realized that a wide majority of the wives are still keeping their maiden name. What's wrong with you?! Change your last name so it'll make my life easier!!! The only exception should be if your husband's last name is something weird like "Suckafoo" for example. But if your maiden name was Wright and you married a Wong, then change it (for me please)!
For example, let's say there's a student named Tim Wong. On the checks, the names John Wong and Shaniqua Wright are on the top. You already know that they're married, but Shaniqua doesn't want to be a Wong, she wants to be a Wright (you don't want to be wrong, you want to be right, harharhar). Life just gets a little more complicated for me because you refuse to take your husband's last name. So, this leads to the next question: do I refer to you as Ms. Wright or Mrs. Wong? Questions, questions, questions...
(This is also in reference to married couples) I also noticed that some married people still have their own checks. I have read that women are becoming more independent, but if you're married, that means y'all become 1, yeah? Instead of just doing your laundry, you do both. Instead of cooking for 1, you cook for 2. You get the drift, yeah? 2 become 1. So... this, leads to my next example.
I notice that Shaniqua Wright has her own checks. Instead of maybe a Tom and Shaniqua Wong, she's still a Wright. Even a Tom Wong and Shaniqua Wright would be a little better. But why do you have your own separate checks, still?! Sharing is caring... unless you still don't share a common bank account and you had a pre-nup, but that leads to a whole different discussion...

Caught in the Middle
Have you ever had one of those moments where you feel like you have to act like an adult but you still feel like a kid inside? I sure do. I think I have that feeling for 45 minutes every weekday from 11:55 - 12:40. Everybody knows I have favorites, and although they are a bit rowdy, I will still have to say that my favorite class is my first 4th graders last year (now 5th graders). I made up a "work" e-mail g-mail account for them so they can e-mail me and g-chat with me.
As most of you know, I tend to write a few inappropriate PG-13 things on my status messages sometimes, so I thought it'll be a safer option to just get another e-mail account to give to students. As I'm on this more professional account of mine, I'm trying my best to keep that teacher-student relationship with one of my 5th graders, but there are times when I just want to type what I usually type to friends. However, not a good idea...
Anyway, by going online, I must be deemed cool by my students. What other teacher goes online at night to chat with their students and ask them whether or not they finished their homework, nag them about working on their projects, and tease them about their current crushes?

When are you getting married?
After work, we had a surprise baby shower for a co-worker. Basically everybody in the room was married (or engaged), except for me. Most of them have kids too, so I was definitely the odd one out. At least I'm not single like I was a year ago. Anyway, one of my co-workers asked me when I was getting married, if we even talked about it, stuff like that. She apologized later about being a bit nosy, but I didn't mind that much. She then mentioned that I could be the next one having a surprise party.
Afterwards, I thought about it, and it would be pretty cool to have that surprise bridal shower at work. It's like getting free gifts from people you really don't have to invite to your wedding, cause I'm really not that close to my co-workers anyway. But no, bad reason to get married.
Even friends are starting to ask that question now. And of course, I have my answer concocted out already: "tomorrow night, Vegas!". Hopefully I'll get married one day, in the near future...? Only time will tell...

You Make Me Better
Like Ne-Yo and Fabolous says, "I'm good all by myself, but baby, you, you make me better".

Sucker Upper or Genuine?
In high school, when I was taking AP History, I remembered that I was on the verge of getting a C+. That's when I decided to go to extreme measures and start sucking up. I started asking the teacher if I could stop by after school for some extra help (I only did that so it looked like I was interested in US History, in reality I was thinking yawn yawn yawn). I started talking to her and learned that her favorite candy bar was a Butterfinger. When report cards were about to be submitted, I went out and got her a Hallmark card and raved about what a wonderful teacher she was and how she's changed my life and also included a giant Butterfinger. When my report card came in the mail, I ended up with a B-. woohoo~
When I say I know how to suck up like no other, I mean it. It's helped me get through some "tough" times in school, haha. Anyway, now that I'm on the other side, I think I've been experiencing some sucker uppers as well. I'll be honest, it is quite flattering, and I don't want them to stop.
During the first 10 minutes of class every day, I have a random journal write for my students. Last Friday's was "My Dream Teacher". The topics are pretty open ended and they're free to write about whatever they please. A couple students decided that I was their dream teacher, one of them wrote that I was their favorite teacher because "she is nice, teaches us, and is very pretty". After I read that, I'm like "shoot, automatic A+ for the rest of the school year".
Anyway, this got me to thinking, are these students old enough to really know how to suck up? I'll admit, there are times when I'm at work and I'm always curious as to how I'm doing as a teacher. Whether they're sucking up to me or not, it does help boast my ego and make my day. In conclusion, I decided that I do like suck ups, 'cause I can't handle the truth. jk.

"I bone to study..."
You know how you read funny Engrish stuff on websites? Well, thanks to D, I recently started taking pictures (more for his laughing expense and his personal collection) of errors in restaurants, cafes, etc. While grading a History test, I couldn't help but chuckle at the HORRIBLE grammar on it. What was this kid thinking? (Side note: Do NOT send your kid to a Montessori school, trust me!) My favorite is the answer to question #2. Click on the picture for a larger view.

A Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane
It all started when D and I were cleaning/emptying out his boxes and a bunch of old cards, letters, and pictures started showing up. Naturally, my first reaction was to look at his old college pictures and make fun of him. After a while, I began to think... "wow, I wonder what all my old cards, pictures, and letters say". When I got home today, I decided to open up the box of old memories and past flames to see what funny memories would surface.
I wish Janelle (Baby J) were here to look at all this stuff with me and reminsce about our college past. I completely forgot about "FETUS!" (something only her and I would understand). After reading cards I got throughout college, I realized that I used to be quite the comic who brought a unique something to the table. It was nice and reassuring to know that I've developed a nice handful of authentic relationships throughout my college years, especially the latter part.
Now, back to present day. I was laughing at how D would save some cards from the past and recycle some other ones. I'm not much of a packrat, but I think the only things I really do save are cards and letters people wrote me. As I read through most of the cards, I began to wonder how many of those people actually still consider me to be a close friend. Besides Facebook (good ol' Facebook) and random chats once in a while, I don't think I've really done a good job with keeping in touch with people I was close to in college: especially the LFC (Loyal Friend's Club... haha, don't laugh) turned to YFC (Yo Face Club) and Loveshack. A few weeks back, Baby J and I were bored and decided to write out my college wedding invite list. Baby J was a little shocked when she learned that certain people did not make the cut to my wedding list (and at this moment, only the two of us know who made the cut). After thinking about LFC/YFC, Loveshack, and all the numerous people I've encountered throughout college thru serving in ministry, I was like wow... people do come and go. Most of the closer friends I hang out with now are not the same group of people I hung out with in college. This got me wondering about how everybody's doing... how is everybody doing?
Anyway, when I think about the new people I've encountered post college - the SPEW crew and D, I wonder if we'll ever drift apart and live our separate lives one day.
To the college buddies I was closer with at a point in time, remember this stuff?
1) FETUS! Your mom... YO FACE!
2) "Janelle's my baby's daddy. Ede stole my heart (along with everybody else's and broke it in the process), and I got Anjied!" - Trainer (what he wrote to us on Valentine's Day, 2005)
3) uhh... jus... jus becoz...
4) (and of course) I'm a hottie with a naughty body.
Unlike a lot of people, I do not rip or shred up stuff from guys in the past (unless I was really mad at the time or things ended up really badly). It was also pretty entertaining looking at past flames' stuff. I was looking at all my old ticket stubs and shoot, I was pretty darn pimp back in the day! I still am... haha, jk.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have sporting events, ballets, movie stubs such as Transformers that I have to shred up now. jk.

3) uhh... jus... jus becoz...
4) (and of course) I'm a hottie with a naughty body.
Unlike a lot of people, I do not rip or shred up stuff from guys in the past (unless I was really mad at the time or things ended up really badly). It was also pretty entertaining looking at past flames' stuff. I was looking at all my old ticket stubs and shoot, I was pretty darn pimp back in the day! I still am... haha, jk.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have sporting events, ballets, movie stubs such as Transformers that I have to shred up now. jk.

Right place, wrong time
D mentioned that he tried this Filipino ran BBQ place in San Bruno with good food and a good price, so he bought me to it one evening for dinner. On the outside, the colors were kind of funky. What kind of restaurant would paint their exterior orange and green? Yuck! Anyway, it looked like the parking lot was full or that the place was packed, so D asked me to go inside to reserve a seat while he looked for parking.
As I walked into the restaurant (I should've known better), I noticed that all the faces were brown. Hmm, oh well, it is a Filipino restaurant, so I didn't think anything of it. As I opened the door, EVERY SINGLE FACE TURNED TO STARE AT ME! Still, not thinking anything of it, I walked in and asked if they were open. The owner told me they were having a rededication, but said they'll serve us anyway. He guided us to the corner where we would not be a part of the party. I was about to walk out, but at that same instant, D also walked in, so I figure it was a little too late.
When they brought out our dinner, they also asked if they could take a picture of us to put on their website. We've been checking randomly every so often, but no such website really existed. One night, when I was extremely bored at home, I decided to Yelp IHOB: International House of Barbeque (yes, tacky name too) and look what I came upon: http://ihobbykadoks.com/photo_gallery . Scroll to the very bottom, and voila! Who do you see? For a while, we were wondering if they were just bluffing, but I guess the owner's a man of his word. (Good for you Mr. Owner!). Look at those two Chinese people who weren't really supposed to be there, at least we added diversity to the restaurant. Oh yeah, the food's pretty good too.

The newest fad
I suppose the newest fad nowadays is co-habitation. Ever since I've been mentioning to friends that my boyfriend got a new condo (well, I guess it's really not new anymore), there has been one question which keeps reoccuring - "Do you live with him now?". Non Christian co-workers, I would be more understanding, but Christian friends too? Hmm... I dunno. Do I make myself out to be a person who seems like they would move in with him? Anyway, no I do not believe in co-habitation. I go home and sleep in my bed every single night, thank you very much.
I also read an article in Marie Claire about how women are looking for starter husbands nowadays. What exactly are starter husbands? What are starter jobs? You go with it for a few years, and when you think you're tired of that person, you just move on and look for something better. Lots of women are marrying in their early to mid-20s with their starter husbands, divorce, and remarry again later on in life.
I guess all this is something I don't understand and against what I personally believe in: co-habitation and "till death till us part... not!".
Anyway, I decided to quit writing in my Xanga cuz Xangas are for chumps. But I guess the Carrie Bradshaw in me still wants to type things out randomly. If you're reading this, good for you! Me you have found.
