Recycling an old post

I just want to share a post I've written a few years ago from my friendster blog he he...


There’s this cute little girl in the gym whose name is Daphne. Around 9 years old, tan, chubby, talkative, playfull, beautiful especially with her smile. The niece of Ms. Sanil. She is an elementary here in San Jose School.
I didn’t take that much notice of her. But just this Tuesday, after the culmination of the nutrition month, I don’t have the enthusiasm to enter my last class. Everybody is so tired after the activity in the morning and everybody wishes the day to end right away. Then I met Daphne as I was going out of the faculty room. She was surprised that she didn’t knew I am a teacher in the High School Department. I read in her face that it is a pleasure to see me there. It made me smile wide and she smiled wider. But I have to go on because I will be late in class.
Few days later, as the jeep I was riding on stopped for some more pasaheros, it was Daphne getting inside and she gave me that sweet angelic smile again. The vacant seat they got is five people away from me  but I can hear her conversing with her adult companion. She was telling her about me. The more I smiled when she said I am her CLASSMATE! He he he…well, the adult was amused and so was I, but hey, it’s true isn’t it? We are studying karate in the same classroom (ground floor of Epiphany Church), with the same schedule (MWF) and under the same teacher, Sensei Jun, therefore we are classmates.
Then last Friday August 3, 2007, we are about to start and she isn’t yet around. Her friend, Kim who is a quiet and honest girl, told us that she might not be coming because she has an appointment with her doctor. When asked why,she said that Daphne told her it’s about dieting! hmmm… the little girl is already figure concious, huh? But she just amused us gain this time.
When we were about to start, she joined us with her maong on. Poor Daphne, Sensei reprimanded her because of that. Have he only known that she just came from a visit and because of her eagerness to join us, she didn’t drop by her house to get a change of clothes, maybe he too would be amused as well.
After the session, she is again so noisy running, laughing and playing with the other kids until her sundo tagged her to go home.
