and boston held the trophy

last night was game 6 of boston and lakers... this was a final where i don't really support anyone, first, because i'm not a fan of boston and second, because i hate lakers (hate kobe as a matter of fact). which means i have an inch of favor toward celtics, more than lakers.

but i have to admit the celtics played really good games. their defense was strong and offense was pretty good. i'm glad boston won but i would've like spurs to win the finals (i know, they kinda sucked this year but i still love 'em. go spurs!)

my live-in-boyfriend/husband, on the other hand, supported the lakers and he couldn't sleep one night because lakers lost after a 24-point difference, the biggest turnaround in history. he was so upset he was up 'till 3 am and was brooding over it the next day.

i gotta admit, when lakers won against spurs (by a mere foul that should've been called- blah!) i wished diarrhea upon lakers. after i cursed them, lakers won once. i guess my curse worked.

so for the basketball fans out there, let's admit boston did pretty damn well. can't wait for the next season to start, and spurs better win this time!

looovvee the movie!

i went to see the sex and the city movie last night, and it was awesome. good story, good laughs, georgous shoes (and clothes... and bags... yum!). makes me want to live in nyc forever with lotsa money and penthouse apartments (yeah right... being a teacher i'll be lucky to live in queens forever). a girl can only dreams...


some exciting news: we finally got an a/c unit hoorayy it's been sooo hot and humid that our spankin' new 8000 btu a/c does not cool the apartment at all. so we bought another one for the bedroom but i think tonight we'll sleep on the couch.


annndd today was the day you could stood up eggs (it was a chinese tradition of some sort, when the position of the sun was closest or something). i tried it and the eggs stood for more than 5 minutes. here's the pic to prove it:

elmo-mania

speaking of oprah, today on oprah she interviewed this guy who is the voice behind elmo. omg he's not a short, baldy weirdo. he's actually a man in his early forties, tall, not bad-looking and it was amazing whenever he changed into his elmo voice it was fun to watch.

and today oprah got this delicious brand new LV bag (marc jacobs was on) and an even more beautiful brand spankin' new pair of jimmy choos (the lady who owns the company was on too.. forgot her name for a second). out of all people who could afford hundreds of LV bags and jimmy choos, she got them for free. aaaaggghhh!

14 more days

until school is OVER (14 more school days that is). i'm so done right now i just want to sleep alll day and watch oprah alll day.

welcome mr. danny glover

yesss he is coming to "talk" at our school tomorrow! it's very exciting even though i'm sure my kids will probably ask the following questions:

1. can i get your autograph? (which he would answer, no, this is not meet-the-fans session, this is an educational session on the political situations in blablabla- which my kids will respond with, f*ck you you f*ckin ass what the f*ck i can't get a f*ckin autograph?)

2. are you rich?

3. can you give me some money?

4. who are you again?

sooo looking forward to it!

i hate humidity

okay today was a bit ridic. it was sooo hot and humid in my class, no a/c, not even a breeze and i was dying. i think all of us were.

so picture this, the kids had gym class at 9:30 when the weather was getting to what felt like 100% humidity. they were all sweaty and they all sprayed at least half a bottle of axe on themselves (which i guess is a good thing that they realized they have body odor?). mixed that up with stale air in the classroom. plus the smell of omelette, sausage and hashbrowns for lunch (yep it was a "breakfast-for-lunch" day). and you have a horrifying, smelly, full of B.O day groossssss!

i don't care if we don't have enough books or pencils in the classroom. i rather have all the school funding goes toward buying an a/c for the classroom!

and it's may...

yup the year is almost over... being on the academic sept-aug mode every year, i consider june as the end of a year, july and august as two lazy months that i take for granted, and sept as a new year. so the year IS almost over and looking back i can't believe a lot of shit happened in one year.

let's start the list:

right before the year began i had my second knee surgery and spent my summer in a big-ass knee support thingy. lovely lovely.

this year i began my lovely career as a teacher, and spent ridiculous amount of money on my class. this will be repeated again come late august (hey i want my class to look as pretty and as bedazzling as a midsummer's night!)

got engaged and hell began.

went back to lovely jakarta in december for 13 short days. (notice i've been using the word lovely a lot here... not sure why)

lost my grandpa, which was not a lovely thing at all, and it happened so quickly that sometimes i still can't believe it.

moved to a new, larger, cheaper apartment in an area some would considered the suburbs by the name of queens. i actually looove this apartment because it's larger and cheaper (much larger and much cheaper i might add)

got married (by the way, a bit of family news: my cousin gave birth to twin boys, my other cousin (and a much younger one) gave birth to a boy and already pregnant again, my yet other cousin is pregnant with a second child... obviously my family doesn't do planned parenthood thing)

i guess getting married is a hugeee thing but it's okay... it's exciting but glad it's over. the planning phase killed me.

had a sinus surgery oh my gosh it was horrible. the doc took out the huge packing the day after and it hurt like hell. yesterday (a week after), the doctor took the splints out- they were up high and the doctor pulled the string and i could feel the HUGE thing came out, my head felt like it was split open, and then he did the same to the other side. i cried of pain throughout the whole process. never. again.

annndd of course dealing with my kids all year. hospitalizations. cops. stretchers. handcuffs. courts. probations. and now a weed grower.

sigh. i guess i won't be taking those lovely two months for granted anymore. see ya at the pool bitchess
