i'm feeling so happy!

after more than 2 months, i'm baaacck!!! i didn't go anywhere. i was just busy with the usual stuff. and stupid me, i forgot my blogger username and password so i wasn't able to access my blog for a long time. haha.

there are a lot of things that i want to say. i just don't know where to start. all i know is that I AM VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. yes, i can't believe that i'm saying this, but i am. so here are the top 5 reasons why i am happy (in no particular order):

- i was able to finish my practicum in one sem. even before i enrolled, i was already dreading it. i don't know why i cried over it. i guess i was just scared that i might not be able to do well and finish it on time. but i did. and i'm so proud of myself. i was able to finish it while working. even though i had a killer schedule (9am-12pm = work; 1230-430pm = practicum; 5-6pm = tutorial; 6-7pm = break, prepare materials for work the next day; 7-8pm = tutorial), i still did great. and again, i can't believe i'm saying this, but i enjoyed my practicum. even though there were a lot of things to do, i enjoyed it because of my students. now i know that i made a right decision in taking up SPED because i have the skill and heart in teaching children with special needs. and that is something to be happy about.

- another school year has ended. of course, it's sad because i won't be seeing some of my students anymore. but i am happy because they learned from me. so that means i am doing my job well.

- the little family feud with my cousin is over. at last. i really miss talking and hanging out with her. she's one of the few people who could understand and tolerate my weirdness (and vice versa). we grew up together and she has witnessed all my bratty ways but still love me despite of that. FYI: i am the resident brat in our clan. bwahaha!!

- i learned a new language: sign language! yup, i took up a sign language class together with my friends last January until February. we passed the evaluation so we can now do beginner's sign language. we're planning to enroll in the intermediate level this summer. of course, i am still very interested in learning French (for i plan to live and die in France. haha!).

- i was finally able to say goodbye to that someone who has inspired and made me happy during the time when i needed it the most. that person suddenly disappeared from my life without saying goodbye. i was left alone with a crying heart. that person was never mine so there's nothing for me to hold on to except for memories. then one ordinary day, our paths crossed again. we exchanged smiles and a few words. after that, we said goodbye. so now my heart is free again.

of course, there are still other things that make me happy. simple things like waking up in the morning with no worries, seeing my loved ones, happy meals from mcdo, and a whole lot more. i am just really thankful for all these.
