Life as a Wheel

Life is like a wheel...
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
At times you feel like your going around in circles
Doing the same old routine every single day
Life can also get wear and tear
A scratch and some dirt
A few bumps on the road
Maybe even a nail.
We get punctured, then sealed
And we're good to go again.

Life's like that...

Mine has absolutely nothing exciting going on.
I'm a wheel stuck in the mud
While all the other wheels are passing me by...
Stuck and alone with no one to push me

Maybe, just maybe, given the right push
And the right set of mind,
I can go again.

But I'm too deep in the mud
Feeling too down to move
I'm starting to give up hope
Maybe I'll be stuck here forever...

When the frown turns upside down...

I'm happy to share that I am feeling much better now. I still think about him, but that's normal..part of the process..a stage..

He, meanwhile, has completely vanished into thin air from my life... What can I do? Nothing, of course. I am not one to mess with fate--if it's not meant to be, then so be it.

I have found healing in the most unusual place: work and kids.

As an ESL teacher, it's not hard to be amused by young innocent kids who usually make mistakes using their newly acquired English words.  Take for example my 12-year-old boy student who recently learned the words: garage, hangar, and depot, to name a few.

Last week, the students had their vocabulary test wherein they had to use their words in grammatically correct sentences. When the test papers were returned to us, the teachers, I couldn't help but giggle when I saw what my student wrote:

"My mother HANGAR my t-shirt." 

Good job, my student... good job for making me laugh lifting my downtrodden spirit. ^_^


Also, my 10-year-old girls surprisingly became really close to me. Playfully joking around with me, playing catch with me, telling me stories and even hugging me after the day is over!

Curiouser and curiouser....

Life seriously never fails to mystify me...
