Almost is Never Enough

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve

Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough 
We were so close to being in love 
If I would have known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

Oh, oh baby, you know, you know, baby
Almost, baby, is never enough, baby
You know

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough (is never enough, babe)
We were so close to being in love (so close)
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you (babe)
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was (baby)
But almost is never enough

Oh, oh baby, you know, you know, baby
Almost is never enough baby
You know

Friendship at its Best

Living in a place far from home is one of the most difficult part of life. 

It was July 9 when UM Davao called me up for an interview and demonstration. The STA informed me in advance that the vacant slot is for UM Tagum only. Much to my desperation to get a job, I automatically said yes. On the 10th, I was all so nervous and afraid. I don't know what to do. I'm scared that I won't get hired. When it was my turn to have my interview and demo, I must say I did my best and I wasn't expecting for a good news. Then it was all over when,the panel gave me a chance to be a teacher. They  finally decided to hire me. I feel so happy that day. What's more surprising was, I have to report on July 11 right away. That feeling you get, when you have to leave the comforts of being home for a much greener pasture. 

Then, here I am, working in UM. As I am about to celebrate my 1st year anniversary in this institution, I feel so delighted to have found a family in the presence of my friends. We may not agree in so many ways but the love is there. I always thank God for giving me the opportunity to explore the other side of Mindanao. My world has gone bigger. I gained independence from the pampering of my parents (Haha! Feeling princess at home, in Davao.) I become more sociable. I learned the realities of life (budgeting my money) Most especially, I learned that God  knows where to place me in the right time at the right moment of my life.

Happy Papa's Day!!

 This man is my inspiration. My motivator. My chef. My bestfriend. My silly companion. My hero. My father.  I love my Papa very much! :D 

One of the most challenging things in life is to become a teacher. Dealing with the different behaviors of the students can be disheartening sometimes. There were so many times that I feel frustrated, especially when the students become restless like little kids. I admit classroom management ain't easy. 5 preparations in a day can be tough too. I am just so happy that I was able to make it through. I am about to celebrate my first year of being a UM employee! Yehey!  I am so blessed that this school chose me over a hundred applicants who wished to be in my position.  My job is my happy pill right now. :D

Summer Fun

@ Cannibad with friends

@ Cebu with my bro

Summer is already over. I can't help but reminisce all those days I had with my family and friends. I wish it is still summer. I want to travel again. I want to be away from the city. Life is too stressful these days. (sigh)
