pre-school teacher: SOON. :)

It was just yesterday when we visited Marikina Boys Town Complex for our subject SCL 110.

First stop in the Boys Home, where boys aged 7 and up live. Our 2E Dance Troupe (Haha. Seriously, I joined this so-called dance troupe. At the same time, a big joke) were so shy now to perform after seeing the performance of these little boys. They were greater dancers than us. Haha. Nakakahiya noh? Pero masaya naman.

We also had the song number prepared by 2A. Of course, Hawak Kamay was really the all-time favorite. Then came the HepHep Hooray thingy by 2D.

We had our lunch in the sMALL MALL. Haha. And I was like hungry. But no, starving I should say. But what the hell, I'm depriving pala. Haha. Parang Burger King menu lang noh? Krizia even told me when she saw what I ordered in Jollibee, "Grabe antakaw mo pala. Hindi ka naman tumataba."

Kayle answered back, "Oi Paola, baka naman may alaga ka hah."

And that became a laughing stock among the boys (Raf, Kayle and Marco) over that heavy lunch. Sheesh. XD

Second stop, the Foundling home. Awwwh.
This stop was my favorite. Because I love children aged *blank* to 7. I don't even know. Basta toddlers siguro. Or the play age stage of Erik Erikson.

Rude. Loud. Impatient. Always throwing tantrums. Envious.

And any other irritable traits they have. I knew that I can tolerate these traits. I see in their eyes what they really felt for being in that kind of institution. They wanted to befriend us together with my classmates but they are really afraid or shy with strangers. They even don't know the reasons why they are there.

I "adopted" Miguel first. I noticed his long eyelashes na mukha daw false eyelashes sabi ni Krizia at Nina.He seems too be quiet but whenever he sees his playmates dancing at the stage, he dances, too. I told him to dance with them, but he's shy. Oh well, he loves to sing Hawak Kamay, too. :)

What I don't understand about him is when he became super HYPER when Hanna adopted him during the Hep Hep Hooray game. After all, Miguel just won the game.

I can also remember the time when i put a Baller in his wrist. He keeps on smiling at me and keeps on seeing my ID. I just told him to call me Ate PJ than my real name. He complied. But what is nicer about it is when you see this child, calling you by your name, and after that, he can't afford to leave your side.

And here is a picture of Miguel and me (taken by Paul):

And here are the other pictures of Pipayb with their alaga that time:

Kayle told me that his alaga was soooo quiet and the child just approached him and sat on his lap. He even shared that he taught the child to say "Thanks" and "Please".

Nina's alaga was the funniest one. We bet he's a gay because he played as a hairdresser of Nina. He just combed her hair. Haha. :D

Another one:

Wil and Glad just love teaching the children to read and even helped them to color the coloring books. But hey, Wil and Glad were also the peacemakers among the children! Those children were fighting over the crayons and coloring books! I bet, these two will make a good peace ambassadors in the future! Haha. *wink*

I adopted another child named JonJon. Jonjon is the shy type. I even called him POGI that made him more shier, so i introduced him to Paul and said, "Oh ayan pareho na kayong pogi ni Kuya Paul mo".

Jonjon just giggled. :)

Then here's the comeback of Miguel. He loves getting my digicam so i let him. He even took a picture of me and Paul eventhough it ended up blurry.

The last stop: Home for the Aged. This was the most dramatic I think. Anyway, it was GRANDPARENT'S Day today. We also knew Lolo Rolando, the rockistang lolo. Haha. :D

We just danced the afternoon away.

After finally bidding goodbye, I took pictures with my favorite people in that place. That included the lola who danced with me (I never knew her name), Miguel and Lolo Rolando. And here it is:

At this point, I realized that I have the potential to deal with those kids even how unruly they are. Now I wanted to pursue my first ambition when I was a child:

TO BECOME A PRE-SCHOOL TEACHER. :')

Now I knew why I'm in BS Psychology today. :)
