ei there.
it's the end of the second day of the pinoy media congress here at st. scholastica's.
the kids and i decided to stay over at the providence towers (a stone's throw away from st. scho). i got seven rooms for the kids, with five kids occupying each room.

***
the first day of lectures were a refresher on the varied aspects of research in the communication "spacescape".
it was also a day of many disappointments.

for one, a sophmore came an hour late, taking as double the time to get to the hotel.
the guy didn't even say sorry; on top of that, he was event sly about it.

disappointment number two came later in the evening, after shut-eye. apparently, one of the group of kids (who were allowed to wander from one room to another) rung the doorbell of the wrong unit, much to the dismay of the owner (because they insistently rung the doorbell a couple of times).

a couple of them were also very rawdy while they walked the corridors. that translated into a complaint from one of the tenants, which the guard told me this morning.

number three: i left the kids the whole day because teachers had to transfer to benilde for a day of seminars. at dinnertime, the kids were extra noisy at jollibee. i was so disappointed. people were looking at us from the other tables.

kaya baga ayaw kong magsama ng mga sobrang bata. minsan kasi antaas ng expectations ko. ansakit tuloy kapag hindi ko na-meet yung mga expectations na yun.

***
i was elected as a new board member of the philippine association of communication educators, the country's oldest and widest organization for communication teachers.
i don't know if i'll be happy or sad about it - knowing the amount of time such a responsibility will demand. Jesus will find a way.

i'll post pictures of the media congress here soon.

i have never been as tired.
i need a break.
hey.
