thanks to the kids in school who made the day so much fun!!!

thanks sweeties ~ for the cakes, the gifts, and especially the 'love' notes

tra-ba-ho

TIMESTAMP: 1855 hours
LOCATION: ~iskul~

yes, believe it or not, yours truly is still in school -- tra-ba-ho-hing

for those of you who don't know... my working hours are from 700hours to 1600hours and for this whole week, i've been at work till way past my usual time-out hour... and i've only had a chance to dindin with the fam last night...

THE CULPRIT:

~parent-teacher conferences~

~attendance policy~

~grades~

and i'm not slacking off now... i'm working with this slow computer, waiting for my printouts to finish while blogging...

reg gave up and decided to leave... she has a dindin date with an old friend... can't blame herÜ

so it's me, all alone here -- oh wait, here comes our friendly neighborhood custodian and security gal...

coz it's time to clean up...

so it makes me think... are all these tra-ba-hos worth my time?

i don't really have much complain except for the drained feeling i get at the end of the day...

without the kids around to make us laugh,

we wouldn't be able to live with this job...

but when you really stop to ponder on how many people you get to help everyday, and how many people you've given the chance to smile, you feel good about yourself, and of course, of the job that you do.

i may find work frustrating at times... but it's fun and i'm happy in the environmentÜ

as i've said before,

i don't think there's a job quite like mine...

~passion for xocolat~

my iS buds and i have had the same *gtalk* profile for this week

~ undecided = confused ~

and the last i needed for the end of the week was another talk on past experiences, present conditions, and future plans...

~ i needed to unwind ~

~ i needed a doze of xocolat ~

yup, that's right: X-O-C-O-L-A-T

i believe that next to diamonds, chocolate comes next as a girl's best friend...

so my best bud, chie and i decided to get an overdoze on chocolate...

the elixir brings you to different high...

it could be overpowering especially after a long, stressful day...

but it could also be a relief after a week of deep thought.

here's our yumyum xocolat desserts:

***fondue for two***

***frozen "hot" chocolate***

well, the chocolate did it's job ~ and m ready to take the weekend off ~ and start the next week with a boost!Ü

~ visit XOCOLAT at greenhills promenade or megamall bldg A, 2nd level ~
