Chapter 4 - School

At school, as usual like everyday, Mj taught her grade 5 students, enthusiastically, since her subject being taught is MAPEH(Music, Arts, Physical Education, & Health), her students are happy and excited always on what she will teach them today.

In her Music class, she taught them about the so-fa syllables and the students were eagerly singing along with her. For her and for her students, it was a joyous lesson really since everybody in her class participated gracefully, though there were some students who were out of tune, everyone was happily singing it.

When all of a sudden, a naughty boy sing differently. he sings "one toy, two toy...hmmm". Mj noticed him and stopped him.

"Carlo! why are you singing differently?", questioned Mj.

"Which one mam? Carlo pretended to be dumbfounded.

"Can you repeat what you just sung?" asked Mj.

"Ah this...one toy...two toy...hmm." Karlo repeated his song in seemingly his obedience to his teacher's request.

Suddenly, all in the class bursted in laughter. "Hahahahaha"

The laughter faded quickly as Mj raised her hands up as a sign to be silent.

"Yeah, why are you singing that, Carlo?" asked Mj.

"Because you have two big beautiful boobs mam!" replied Carlo, that made the class burst into laughters again.

"Ah I see... two toy sounds like "totoy", in their native languange, which means boobs... "Are you kidding me, Carlo?" exclaimed Mj.

"N-no, ah, eh, yes mam, aw!" while scratching his head.

"Okay, because you said I have beautiful big boobs, which is true, I will forgive you. But nonetheless, you should not do this again coz this is a form of bullying your own teacher. Understood, Carlo?" warned Mj.

"Y-yes mam" still scratching his head.

"Okay then, let's proceed and continue our lesson." Mj commanded.

So they proceeded and finished her lessons for the day.

After teaching her lessons, while she is alone in her classroom now, while writing her lesson plans and while waiting for the 5p.m. time for her to be off from work, she couldn't help but giggle and laugh a bit, remembering what Carlo did earlier.

"What a naughty kid he is!" she exclaimed.

She then continued to write her lesson plans and at exactly 5p.m., she's done writing. So she hurriedly packed up her things and proceeded to go home.

She bought some food for dinner from the "carenderia"(means a small eatery or restaurant) which she then brought and ate her food at home. Then, she relaxed a bit, to clear her minds up.

Then, she remembered about Karl, the one she chatted for the first time last night. She wondered how he is? And was he really truly interested on her? Or it's just one of the scams she heard stories about from? hmmm...She continued pondering...

How will she know then? In fairness, he is really one good-looking guy, almost looked like one of the actors in the movie "Braveheart". He has bright white teeth and when he smiles, it almost feels like you're glued to him and can't help but smile back.

And added to that, he is a band vocalist? hmmm he must have a lot of women surrounding him and going "gaga" over him. It's crazy!

What on earth does he have to be interested on her then? Although she is beautiful and professional, she's a thousand miles away from him. Not counting he is in a different country with different culture he was raised differently from her.

"Ah so much for that thinking! I'll have to keep myself busy and check my laptop if there's any update my school principal did sent for me to do," she said to herself in a low tone voice....

She then, checked her laptop and there were no updates did her principal sent. However, there were bulk of emails from men whose interested on her. And she doesn't really have interest to read it all!

Although, she's contemplating within herself of whether to open and read some of those emails or not, eventually, she decided not to read any of it.

In her thoughts, "It's just a waste of time and efforts then. There's not really true and honest men, nowadays."

But then, how could she find her one true love if she won't exert effort and spend some time getting to know any one of them? How could she possibly know if there is really one for her?

She's just so busy in her work and could rarely find time to even enjoy herself at some outing or some kind of fun. And she have even done her hobbies(music, singing and playing guitar) for a very long time now, except what's needed in her lessons.

At these all contemplations, she found herself in a daze and felt completely lost...
