Clang Adventures: Episode 4

My "work" doesn't start until Friday/next week, so today, I went to SMA Sint Louis, the school where the two German EPs, Debo and Jens, who were also living in the same house, work at. Their job is to teach English to the senior high school students.

I met a lot of people today, shook a lot of hands, explored the campus, had a talk with the campus parish priest (who was this really cool old guy who spoke Indonesian, Dutch, German, Italian, English and one other language I forgot), and even met the cafeteria/canteen ladies (they have a really interesting food system in the school, btw).


For most of the day, I accompanied the English teachers, acting as their assistant. I also taught basic introductions in Filipino, Italian, and German (shet, sobrang proud ko sa sarili ko dahil dito, swear). During the breaks, I spent my time in the Faculty Room. There was this really enthusiastic teacher sitting at the desk next to the one I was using. At  one point, I noticed that she was secretly taking pictures of me, which was really odd, but I just let it slide.

During the lunch break, I was hanging out with the other teachers, telling them things about the Philippines. Then the really enthusiastic teacher who was taking pictures of me earlier suddenly came up to me and gave me some milk tea. A little while later, she asked to take a picture with me. Well, not just one picture. Naka-ilang picture nga e. =))) Before we had to leave for home, the teacher confessed something. She said that I was very pretty and she thought I was a famous person, so that's why she was taking so many pictures. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SOBRANG GV NIYA =)))))))

After that, we went back home. Debo and Jens are going to some tae kwon do class, and I’m just gonna take a nap. (And I started this blog hahahaha). Tomorrow, I plan to go to the school again. Might as well keep myself occupied.
