espiritista

yesterday

...was my wife's birthday. she's now 8 months preggy. parang nakalulon ng pakwan, as they say. lately, she's been getting melancholic. she absolutely loathes her students this year, though i suspect only because her class this year suffers in comparison to those who graduated last march. i understand her totally, of course, as i'd come to know them. i visited their school a lot last year, and have been impressed with their talent and determination. they had zeal and they asked good questions and they knew the importance of appreciating the details. any teacher would have been happy to teach them. she missed them badly.

as a surprise for her, i secretly organized a birthday get-together with her former students. as i suspected, just a little sms here and another call there started the ball rolling, and it was them who organized the entire thing. i just provided the drinks, the place, and the celebrator.

she cried there. she really cried. i haven't seen her cry like that.

her favorite students were there, but what put it over the top was the presence of people she didn't think would care to come. most of all, she couldn't believe i could do something so cheesy. (I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, NEITHER!!!!) she was beaming. and i was happy. happy, happy, happy.

ganun pala magpasaya ng tao. :)
