Three iPods sync with the main PC at home. All my music files are on an external drive to keep it from being worn much like the internal hard drive of the PC. That means I made iTunes to get the files from that drive. No problem really except that, perhaps, one of the iPod users made a booboo or perhaps it’s just the Windows “environment” (although I’m not sure if this could happen on a Mac), but after I plugged my iPod, I got the “not recognized, Your iPod is synced with another device, warning” and it took around 5 seconds before I realized that the iTunes is not showing any songs.

SHIT! There’s really no problem because, as I have said, I store my songs in a separate drive for safe keeping. But what’s really frustrating is the thought that I have to re-sync all my iPods (considering that some have playlists specifically for the device). Oh well, nothing else to do but to “comply”! Hehehehe

Here I go again blogging about motorcycles. Two points, I love “bikes”, I hate the new breed of motorcycle drivers!

I am a motorcycle driver myself, I drive a SUZUKI dirtbike and I love riding it. I am also a car driver and someone who is exposed to these new motorcyle drivers, specifically those underbone motorcyles that you see in every inch of the metropolis.

Yesterday, on my way to work, I got to see (again, and again for the nth time) how these drivers handle their rides on the road, and it’s not healthy. These are the new king of the roads. Heck, the buses and jeeps stop when traffic is at a halt, but these things don’t, they will squeeze their way into every bit of space between vehicles.

There’s this motorcycle a couple of cars ahead of me and he’s in a rush, most of the drivers I see will just swerve into a lane without using any form of signals, but this guy (and perhaps a hundred like him) made some sort of signal, with HIS LEG!!!!

He just stuck his left leg up and swerved his way into the lane. Whew, FILIPINO drivers, very ingenious!

I was once a student and up until now, I still remember how it feels to be one. Life has to move on and there will be changes and we must learn how to adapt to these changes. Personally, I don’t have anything against change, it’s accepted…most of the times. Unfortunately, as much as we love change, there are some that is not….good.

I understand the rigors of hormones erratically secreted all over and crisis of different kinds haunt a student’s life, and it is part of growing and maturation to be able to survive such encounters. Unfortunately, students nowadays are all taking the easy way thru life. They want to be pampered and not terrorized. I must admit, before I told myself, when I become the teacher, I will pass all of my students. But then again, there will be changes. Now that I’m a teacher, as much as I love to, I can’t.

I must balance the gratification and give the right complements to the right people. I cannot just give a grade of 95% to all of my students, irregardless of their effort, that would be unfair, right? As much as possible I want their learning experience to be as relax as possible, but I guess, most of them would not appreciated this, and would rather have a teacher that terrorizes. I guess, I don’t share their opinions on how to become a good student.

You see, for me, being a good student is not being a goody-two-shoes pupil, but someone that takes his/her life seriously. I may have been a TARANTADONG ESTUDYANTE before, in the sense that, I was satisfied with what I was getting, although at the back of my mind I know I’m better than those getting the UNOS! Yet, I would rather enjoy my student life than spend most of it reading books. But that’s just it, I may not be that studious type, but I sure know my capabilities, and it’s this characteristic that I want to show my students. Being a STUBBORN PRICK as I am, I know how to accept the consequences of my actions. If I fail a subject, that is because I KNOW that I did not do my best and that I deserve my grade.

But with the students now, you give them leniency and yet they would want more. No wonder people are saying the the standards are going down. I AGREE 100%! If even if a teacher would want to tell his/her students how to become a good person, how to hurdle troubles in life, but he’s just a teacher and someone that is under the dictations of the school he or she works in. This is what I am proud of my ALMA MATER, FEU-NRMF, they’ve pushed us to the limits of crazyness, so we will be used to the hardships in studying, so that when we go out to the real world, everything now will be easier.

I am for a RELAX teaching environment, where the line between the teacher and the student is just a thin one. What I am not for, is for an environment where we SPARE THE ROD, which will really SPOIL THE CHILD. I pity them, the students, and the administration, because now, we SACRIFICE THE QUALITY of education for the QUANTITY as they are afraid that we lose the students to other schools. I pity the students, because they think they are winning the “battle” against their so-called rights in the classroom, but let me tell you, YOU’RE THE LOSER in the end.

Ok, I must admit I’m getting old. But I don’t think my age is to blame for not being able to comprehend these new trends. A few months back, a friend of mind told me that all the girls he know, especially the party-girls are bi-sexuals. Then I gave a sounding disproval of his claims, giving an optimistic outlook on the hot ones. I think I’m changing my position.

Today, a “friend” of mine casually and indirectly told me that she’s bisexual. I don’t know if it’s just a ploy to lure me into a trick but she’s the second one I know that has relationships with both sexes.

OMG!!!! And these are not your ordinary girls, these are pretty and hot young ladies. At the prime of their beauty! I don’t know, really, it’s going to take some time to sink in. Although come to think of it, it sure would be nice to see them in “action”. Perhaps, a girl bisexual I can take but NEVER their male counterparts nyahahahaha!

Yesterday, one of my dreams came true. We ate at Super Bowl at Mall of Asia, and for dessert, my Ninang ordered Taho. I thought it was one of those cold, flavored, non-taho tasting foods. But I was wrong.

Although it took some time to get to the table, it has an excuse, it was made right in the resto. Anyways, it came in a small version of the typical stainless taho container. Well, it was hot and I have to remove the water that forms on top of the concoction, very much like what the friendly-neighborhood mangtataho does before scooping the taho into you cup. Hehehe this is fun, so I volunteered to serve it to everyone on our table. Grabe, it was soo exciting doing something that a kid could only dream of.

I can say that I know how to appreciate beauty, physical or whatnot. Being so, being beautiful is almost always appreciated except for instances where it is coupled with an UGLY attitude. Having said so, I have this classmate in MedSchool (FEUNRMF) who is NOT pretty, not even sexy, and thinks she’s pretty. In fact, mean as I am, I don’t think she’s going to get someone to fall for her, unless it’s under duress hehehehe. I thought I’ve seen my hatred on her already, but I was mistaken, I have this student at the moment that for some unknown reason, I really can’t stand her or even like her a bit. Kind of sad, but she’s got the same characteristics that I hate so much. A person who thinks she’s very pretty and hot, when, there’s not even the smallest pretty thing on her. Hehehe kainis! Sabi nga ng kanta before, “…wag masungit ang pangit!”, well she’s not “masungit” but she’s “feeling” hehehe pero PANGET! eh hahaha.

There will be some of you that will react and say “…bakit, gwapo ka ba?!” Well, this is my blog and you’re just reading it. Pasensya ka. And besides, hindi ako feeling! I know my place in the beauty hierarchy which this girl doesn’t know that she’s way below the bottom list hehehehe.

I had lunch at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf today. Roast Chicken and Mushroom Fusili (they didn’t have chicken today so they used Turkey meat instead) with Gray (something) Iced Tea. I like their gourmet foods and specialty iced teas (I’m not a coffee drinker). But I guess this iced tea is a bit too much for me. Nothing wrong with the taste, in fact it was very good! Not too sweet, not too bland and not too rough on the throat. My problem is the scent. It smells like the potpourri we have at home. It’s too strong that up until now, I’m still burping potpourri smell hehehe.
