Not Another Tardiness Mishap

I am late for the teaching! No. I am on time. Actually I'm earlier. I really remembered in the text message that we would be leaving at quarter to nine. I arrived around 8:40 - and they're gone! How could they! Mga no hay palabra de honor! It's a good thing that I have something else to do. Else, I will call one of them and ask - no, demand the driver to return here and fetch me and an aspirant who shared that same fate with me. I expected them to be in the office studying today's lesson plan when I would get here. But "Nothing! You, you scum of the earth, you'd enrage a heart of stone!"

Ha ha ha! Now that reminds me of the contest yesterday. We were third place. Plus three points to... somewhere. I forgot. All I know they are gonna be for one of the exams. In the finals I think. I am disappointed. No cash prize! It's a certificate along with the additional points. What will we do with the certificate? In the elimination last Saturday, we were actually the best among the five groups that made it through. I hope we weren't informed. It raised our expectations, especially with our Tiresias. Our Tiresias was unanimously scored to be the best Tiresias during the elimination. But not in the finals. Oh well. Perhaps the judges had different tastes. Or we might've have sounded better without microphones. At least we're third. But if there were cash prizes, I would demand first place!

Shit! I am still furious with what just happened. 8:45! They should have left at that time! *breathing deeply and slowly* Relax. At least I got to pass our late progress report, buy something, and have a haircut. And at least I get to have a break from the terrifying kids. Kidding. I love kids. *LOL*

Bubble Gang's Pinkatadia was hilarious last night. I guess it's always funny to see men wearing fairy clothes. They look like big, fat Amazons. It even looks funnier when they hold swords. And their warcries are not "AAAAARRRGH!" but "AY! AY!" They sound like they're being tickled in battle.

Hey. That calmed me down. It's good that I fought sleepiness just to watch that.

It's nearly 11. They should be coming back right now. I have to go and wait for them. When they arrive, I'll give them a piece of my mind!
