Semester Break and Other Brouhahas!!!

I can't wait for the semester break. Good thing because I knew only last night that on November 7, 2011, it was declared as a regular holiday so a day will be added to our two-week vacation!

This week, I was really exhausted, tired, and absolutely freaked! I don't know but maybe because I was becoming of an outstanding teacher. It was really a hectic one, most of the exams are to be done finished, grades should be got to the students and so much more. After rounds of classes, I really feel like dying because of too much work, and sometimes, all I need is a food to make my stress lowered. How I wish I could back to where I truly belong, but I don't know?

Here are some weak points and mostly good points this week...

Such a sweet angel! 

THE MURDER OF JUNKO FURUTA - I only saw this last night (today is Saturday, October 22, 2011) and I was really shocked, a bit frightened and totally grudged with what happened to this young lass in Japan. Her name was Junko Furuta and, an honest-to-goodness kind of torture was what she had happened on her. It was really a brutal one, that only a devil could absolutely create! Here are the accounts of what really happened on her on the days of November 22, 1988 to January 4, 1989. (Credits from http://www.makmoden.com/)

Face held against concrete ground and jumped on
Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn’t accept it)

Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire

DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it over with”

January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone
Body mutilated
Unable to move from the ground

DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes.

Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.

Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.

When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain.

Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years.
They deserve a punishment much greater than they had put upon Furuta, for putting an innocent girl through the most unbearable suffering.

Truth indeed that justice cannot be serve fairly, especially to a society where the rich rules the world. Or probably because they cannot understand the true essence of life, that is why they give light punishment to those people who does not deserve it! I hate the idea of a numbered life imprisonment. For these criminals, they should serve hell! They should be in hell! How on earth they can do this to a young, innocent girl who just so happened to study and have a wonderful life ahead! Gracious!

GABBY BENSON AND JC CAMPOS - I don't have a picture of them but maybe, these kids should also have the same torture as what happened to Junko (just kidding!). They add spice to my section, Grade 5 - Obedient. And they also give me a bright sunshine every time I go to their class (irony, of course!). I am not allowed to hate kids because my profession should not be mixed with emotions, but seriously, I really hate them. They make my temper go wild and immature. I asked them not to go to classes anymore because they bring hemorrhage to my head every time I erupt! According to my dear friend, T. Aiz, Gabby actually has a problem dealing with behavior and needs special assistance. JC, on the other hand, before was a meek but because he already managed to adjust, he is now one-hell-of-a-headache! If only I could back to my department. Even though I only have a problem with my student who always touches my things (but done in a good way), still he is lovable. But these two kids that my section, they're absolutely... I can't think of a perfect adjective to describe them because I might be like the four boys who tortured the very sweet Japanese girl!

Photoshoot with the new mom!

MOMMY JULIE GIRL - She is now on her last month of her pregnancy and any moment next month, she will bear a child named Julli Summer (am I allow to say it?) We, as her friends, are delighted and excited to see her first born! I remember the time she told me about this precious gift from God. It was our summer break, getting ready for the new school year when we were eating at the cafeteria of our institution. I was wearing a very grotesque-looking beard and mustache. She asked me if I could shave it off of my face because it might be gotten by her baby. At first, I don't understand why did she tell that to me. Then after processing, I asked her "buntis ka?" Then all of us went into a hearty laugh! I was a bit awed and at the same time happy because she will become a mom! Of course, as a friend, I was a bit worried but I have seen in her face and in her life as a whole that she is excited and happy to become a mom! She really wanted to have a December date for her child's birthday but it cannot happen since she is now on her last weeks of pregnancy. I do hope that her baby is as healthy as possible, as normal as possible and of course, as beautiful as her mom! Congrats Julie Girl!

The both of you should be guided accordingly!

PARENTAL GUIDANCE - Have you noticed the I.D. of MTRCB in most of the stations before showing their programs. They show the rating of the shows if it is PG or parental guidance, or G if it is a general patronage. It was the best idea MTRCB had done to the stations because they truly rule the television in terms of guidelines and regulations. Same is what is happening to our institution. Let's have a blind item. We have two nasty individuals who overrule our department because they want something to happen, well not to our school, to our students, but only to their kids. Yes, only to their kids. Their selfish acts brings forth to a new ruling in our institution, in which, in the middle of the school year, we will have a rigodon or re-shuffling of teachers. At first, we really don't understand why this should happen, knowing that the parents of other students already have peace in their hearts and mind, rearing and teaching their kids with special needs. But with this damn individual, I truly don't understand. Maybe she really has a special need, and not with the case of Special Education but with psychiatric help! This other individual is a so-called nagmamagaling, nagmamarunong and nagmamaasim na individual. She asks, obligingly, the objectives, lessons, procedures and even techniques of the teachers just to benefit his child, which he totally needs special needs! My good friend is totally insane because almost everyday, there are always complaints, queries, and even unsolicited advice and suggestions to the teachers, in which it will totally benefit to the system, to the institution, and most of all, to their kids. This parent is a hardcore, veteran complainant when it comes to everything. Albeit studying with one of the greatest professions on our world, still she is making trouble for her own benefit and maybe she would use that as a vehicle if and only if something might happen to her son. Hopefully she would pass, if she wouldn't, I don't know, maybe its because the world is round! The other individual is a colleague, a member of our profession. Her husband is also a colleague. I don't know but I know why did it happen to them. And also because, she is a colleague, the way she asks the teachers about the objective makes her a bit disappointing. Control freak I guess, but done in a bad taste! More blind items, do the eenie-meenie-mini-mo!

Around the world in so many days!

TRAVEL - I would want to go to Baguio this semester break but I can't do it because of workloads. I hate it whenever somebody is threatening me, pressuring me and making me too fast. Pardon me, but I only have one body with two hands, two feet, one brain, one set of eyes and so much more. I just wanted to go there before it is too late. Some of my dear friends in our institution will have their vacations, much earlier than the kids who will have their semester break next week. They will go to Malaysia, Thailand, and elsewhere. Our principal is asking us about our plans for the semester break. I said that I will wholeheartedly dedicate my time with my parents, especially to my mom who still needs love and care from us. But before going to somewhere else, maybe I should try to see the marvels of our country (no pun intended). The Philippines is truly a gorgeous country but needs so much effort to advertise and make it even more beautiful! I want to try Cebu, Palawan and Bohol. Down south, if it is at peace, wanting to try Davao. And also Caramoan in Camarines Sur, Anawangin in Zambales and Pagudpud in north, Ilocos Norte. Money, no problem! It would be great to have your family and your friends, going with you and seeing the best of everything here in the Philippines. Outside of the country, I want to see Hong Kong, just for the Hong Kong Disneyland, Korea especially Seoul, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, London, Paris, Barcelona and New York! I need so much money just to reach these places. I know it will happen soon! But first, I need to see and visit Nuvali, which is just a few kilometers away from our place.

These are some of the brouhahas that you need to inculcate to your minds! I'm not in the position to ask you to do it, but if you manage, then congratulations!

I was thinking of answering some questions from the book of Bob Ong entitled Stainless Longganisa, but I am such a good organizer, I forgot the book at school! That is really, really amazing! Onto my next blog post!

I am Yours, God! Thank you for the gift of patience! Please bless me with a kilometer-long one!

Toodles!!!
