so embarrassed!

i felt so beautiful today with my new red blouse i took from liza's stuff. i wore my shiny black pair of sandals which is about 2 1/2 inches high... it felt so great to walk with ease and grace especially when you are comfortable with what you are wearing and when you know that you really look good in it...

my speech class this morning with my nautical students was held at the speech laboratory for an actual speech reading. i had such a wonderful time with them as you all know, this is a group of students that will either make you laugh or cause you hypertension...both extremes they are! but today, they were so participative and everybody fared well so i ended a class with a smile on my face...i was happy and contented with today's activity...i left the speech laboratory with so much feeling of contentment and fulfilment...

when the bell rang, i had to rush back to the office to prepare for my next class at 10:30. there were nursing students crowding in the hallway looking into some postings at the bulletin board, exam sked perhaps. some of these were my students in my literature and reading classes before so while i was still a few meters away from them, they were already waving their hands and calling my name...of course, you have to be cordial to your students so even if i had all these books and papers tucked in both arms, i have to give them big grins and a nod and a queenly wave..lol...

things happen too real fast...while i was so preoccupied responding to my students morning greetings, i didn't notice that the floor was too slippery that i swung for what i think a thousand times before i actually landed on the floor with bended left knee, the right foot seemed extended to my extreme right as if performing a cheering squad final exhibition...my books , papers and chalk box were scattered on the floor as if i just had a wonderful party with confetti...my students were astounded at the sight of me on the ground! i could see them gaped their mouths with disbelief or probably more of embarrassment and confused as to what to do. nobody laughed but all eyes were glued to my direction! gracious! how i wish that floor would just split and swallow me up! my face turned crimson and i felt so feverish. i never felt the pain, i stood up all at once while after a few moment, two students helped me pick my things up.. i stood up straight notwithstanding the pain and then i laughed and jokingly said, "gosh, nursing department is the cleanest department in this university" then i went to a nearby office and told some people i know about what happened to me. they just told me,"nah, careful jud ka ma'am oy, nag 5's man gud karon...you know na..." Indeed, i could not do anything about it anymore but accept the fact that i was too clumsy and too limp.i was really so embarrassed.

nadaut ako aura with my grand entrance this morning pero it's all worth the experience...i felt like i just had won the ms. universe beauty pageant...hope we can take life as easy as that situation i had earlier. what i mean is when we fall, no matter how painful and embarrassing, let's stand up where we have fallen, and never mind the pain, it will heal in due time along with embarrassment..pero when we fall, we should have epiphany para we'll make this experience all worth it...dapat naa jud tay natun an...just like,

unsa kaha tua ila floorwax no? mangutana ra ko...LOL!

"So Embarrassed"

Tone: Humorous, witty,and comic(optimistc);since it implies something that arises from cleverness with a sense of fun.It also shows quickness on how to perceive the amusing, striking, or unusual and to express it cleverly and entertainingly.

Theme: " The Greatest glory is not and never in falling, but to stand up every time we fall."

Embarrasing moments are just one of the many spices in our lives.It adds color,flavors,beauty, and interest in every activities we are engage with. without any of these seasoning, our lives ould remain tasteless, inactive and meaningless. we wont be able to feel and realize the real scent of living. it's just a matter of letting it off and just laughing about it. think that it never occured to you that you are tormented over it or just simlpy take a deep breath, and try to cool down while in relief. as stated in this article " it will heal indue time..". Another is that the it also tells us to relinguish to God, thinking that all the things happened,happen and will happen are in his own will.and that he will never give challenges that we can never reconcile,lets just really get the theme of his message then internalize or reflect from it. in other words- lets get stinky,lets get dirty then see we'll learn...hehe...i love this article, so realistic and practical!

Theme: If you fall down stand up straight and firm.

Tone: Humorous

I often fell how to be embarrassed too, sometimes with my own self and most with other people. You can't understand what to feel and what you looks like. So humiliating, that often you want to choose to cry and run not looking back at the faces staring at you. There are always been a reason why we experience such unforgettable moments and this also includes learning afterwards. It's up to how we take the situation.

Theme: When you fall down, it only means to restore your new and strong force to stand again. It's still you,after all.

Tone: Humorous

Interpretation:
I find the story very simple and common yet scenario can bear a lot of realization and facts about life. I also once experience having a feeling that you own the world, you had the power and magic wand to change the earht's color as what you would like it to be. Everything works so well and you slowly breath it in, the wonderful moment. Then a wrong turn came, slowly change the color of your own possessins in life. You're shock, for what happended is somehting you're not aware and expectedly. You try to figure out where you are, your possession, your feeling and resolution with the problem you are facing.Some people may not also there to reach you. But you stand with all the confident and guts. In your face, a more triumph warrior was paint. The experience teaches you, why you fall and that learning will last forever.
