Last month, I posted about my students' daring me to dance in exchange for memorizing 10 new words each day.
I rehearsed for a week. I swear I did. I even secretly memorized the dance steps during yoga classes. During meditation sessions, my brain was trying to perfect the moves. You go to your happy place, I will gyrate in my head.
I even registered in youtube to download the showdown with the six year old from hell. Already I was waiting for a call from some Hollywood talent manager inviting me to audition for the remake of Chicago.
D-day came: I went to school ready for public hanging. I told Teacher K to turn on her PC (she had it password protected to keep the students from playing games online during break period) as I need to play the Tell Me video. Teacher K was like, HWWHAATT??? HWHHHYYY??? When I squealed the specifics, she told me to step outside as she needed to give the students a word or two.
When she was done, I was welcomed by the students with a glare -- that kind of glare that would make even Osama Bin Laden wet in his pants. I knew then that my hopes of replacing Renee Zellwegger had gone down the drain. For the rest of the week, none of them would talk to me. They completely went on a silent mode. Oh well, one can't please all the kids in the world. Ha! Like I cared.
Yeah I did. I still feel so bad to this day. It's like I betrayed them. They are now traumatized for life, and it's because of me.
On another note, I found this Tell Me video with Korean teachers doing the dance craze.
Should I thank Teacher K for saving my ass?

Erik, I am not jealous of your grand vacation. I am deeply troubled that you are partying without me. I thought we're BFF?
Velvet, I haven't seen that movie.I will google online and see if I could download a copy.
I like choco milk. I'm sure I am not going to puke. Harharhar!

Sayang! Naiintindihan ko yung mga bata. Hinihintay ko pa naman yung video. Chance mo na sanang magbago ng career! ahahaha.
Jb, yung dance craze reminds me of Sex Bomb. bata o matanda na-addict magsayaw basta marinig yung song. dito, pasimple lang mga bata sa sulok nagpapractice... kasama ako. hahah!
Abad, sayang nga eh. actually, feel ko talagang i-video yung song, to remind me that once in my life, NAGPAUTO ako sa mga bata. ahahhaha! di bale, next time siguro, secret ko na lang sa mga co-teachers ko. LOL!
rhey, galit sa akin si Teacher K, kase ni spoil ko daw mga bata, kase sbi ko today, ende na sila memorize words everyday. once a week na lang, to amend for what i have done to them. am not sure she'd like it if i dance in her honor. LOL!
you should watch the triumph... matthew perry is in it.

annyywwaaay, if you dance that way, i think Teacher K will forget he/she's mad at you... hehehehe
