TET: Habemus Papam!

No one to call the medics when you have a seizure.

Robots are being developed for that purpose as we speak.

No one to take the dog out for you

The dog will be a robot, so ...

[Samudera Darussalam]

Sorry, I can't push that impulse down, don't hate me plz


I was about to lecture Lotharia, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be that kind of friend who over-concerned and dramatize everything

It's cool tho, Xmara. That's what a friend for, being helpful when another is in needs.


Uhm, pardon, but what's a fosterfamily, if it's okay to ask?

Friends.

I'm glad I don't feel isolated anymore.

You do not need a dog, you are now in the care of a robot. Your dog has been recycled.

I see, thanks for the information, Lotharia!

Hello to you TET! What is happening? For me, same old, same old. I have been fine! Though, there's something I would like to talk about, if you don't mind.... It's a bit sad, but at the same time, heartwarming. I really want to get this out as of now.

I need to get something off my chest. It's something that's reoccurring but at the same time, I don't mind it happening.
-----
It's neither NS nor anything from here. Here goes.
So I keep having dreams, those "sleep and dream" bits, not Martin Luther King type of dream. This morning, like 30 mins ago, I had a dream that I was back in my secondary school classroom, just right after my Mathematics lesson. It was... The maths textbook doesn't really make much sense, the numbers are off, but still, details.

Then there she was again. She came in because it was time for English Language class, and she was practicing Listening Comprehension and Oral/Speaking Skills with us. There were some smaller details and class shenanigans about me not bringing my own English textbook, and I have to share with other classmates, but that wasn't only isolated to me. Also weird that I have my laptop and tablet in the class, like this wasn't back in 2012, but it felt like she was back in 2019, and I somehow got back into a secondary school. Again, minor details.

She was as normal as one can get, and she teaches like she used to. In real life, she was probably the best teacher that I have ever had the pleasure of being a student of.

I miss her. I miss her so, so much. She was the best darn teacher I have ever had.
-----
And this is probably the first time when the more I think about it, the more sadness I feel. Tears are kinda welling up.

Do I regret anything I might have said in my teen years? No, tbh... I've told her everything I want, I wished her well on a yearly basis when it comes to Teacher's Day and her birthday. But it still hurts and tears well knowing that she's never coming back again.
-----
And there's that.

In short... I have been missing someone very dearly.

Perhaps, perhaps. I have accepted it wholeheartedly, you know? But at the same time, I can't help but miss her, like a lot. She was definitely the reason why I got Bs for O Levels' English and Social Studies, when I was failing with D/E/Fs on a regular basis.

Too tired to debate this but you're wrong don't @ me.

Who did Satan kill in the Bible. God only killed the entire world and then some, who did Satan kill?

I'm sorry for your loss. Losing someone close to you is a terrible thing that nobody should ever have to go through.

[Valentine Z]

I feel bad. Were you two close? If it's ok to tell, what happened?

Close in terms of teacher-student relationship, oh heck yes! ^^

So back in 2012, we have this teacher, pretty young, that taught us English and Social Studies, and also Civics & Moral Education (CME), which the latter is not in an exam, but extra curriculum. She was probably the best in these fields in the school, and the way she taught us and made us understand was... wow, it truly was something.

Adding to the fact that she was giving us remedial lessons on her free time. When O Level was nearing, we get what we call a study break. So basically, just study in home, don't need to come to school. She went full-speed ahead and called us back for optional extra classes, hoping to clarify every single thing that we have trouble with. She would post about how she depleted her supply of red-colored pens to mark and annotate (that was less of a complaint from her, and more of "Holy crap, the amount of work during the exam periods is unparalleled!")

I myself don't know exactly what happened. It was something of a childhood disease that made a comeback and got her again. But whatever happened, she didn't show. She was strong in that sense, that we all, even the close friends and colleagues of her, didn't know until she passed suddenly.

Sorry to start my TET day with a bit of a vent and sadness. I really just want to let this out.

Thank you very much! It's been since... 2014, that was her passing. I've accepted the loss as something normal, like you know, everyone goes through death, but... man, it's so sudden.

She just didn't want to get us worried, I suppose. If we all know that she had some disease killing her, she knows that it will derail us from our schoolwork. Very selfless of her, we thought.

Hi Valentine Z, what happens is just the usual stuff

Oh, that's....bittersweet. Perhaps, I knew that feels when a teacher in elementary passed away from cancer. She was a nice lady, and it's just devastating for me and many of my classmates to know about the news when it came.
Now it's just a nice memory to keep, and I can pray that she got to rest in peace.

Do you need a hug tho?

Sure, thanks!

I'm so sorry to hear about your elementary school teacher as well.

So yeah, once again, I know you guys are fine with it, but once again, pardon the dampened air as of now. I know it has been since... 2014, that was her passing as I've said, but I've got dreams on a regular basis. I don't mind them, of course, but it just goes to show that somehow, I really, really missed her presence. I never had any problems with her, though I don't exactly have problems with my teachers. When she first came in, her markings, the rubrics, etc, are a tad strict, but this paid off, big-time. The exams became a breeze because we are so used to her strict and honest comments.

Like Valrifell said, she definitely made my life better, and I pay the favor by working hard for those two subjects that she taught... and it paid off big-time for me, and I sent her a "Thank You!" message every year until she stopped one day. She just stopped responding, but I figured, "Hey, November... maybe she was busy with the exams". Alas, the news came in from my other teachers.

-----

I know I am not here as frequently as the others are, but... really, thank you all for your kind words, and just for listening to me. That really is already something, and I appreciate that. ^^

[Pacomia]

So apparently I'm a Ambivert.

Also it's ok Z we're here for you, the Lothquad loves you as one of our own.

Both MBTI and HEXACO say I’m over 90% introverted. I’m not surprised. Obviously, those tests should be taken with several grains of salt, but still.

[Xmara]

Oh, btw, according to my forensics professor, I scare him.

[Pacomia]

I want to make an EAS tone for my nation.

[Farnhamia]

Oh, btw, according to my forensics professor, I scare him.

Change your name to Gil Grissom, that'll really scare him.

[The Chuck]

Oh, btw, according to my forensics professor, I scare him.

If I need to dispose our favorite authoritarian should I come knocking...?

In all seriousness though, Kowani I hope no harm nor ill will ever befalls you... Besides, if something did happen to you how would I get my coffee?

[Pacomia]

Both MBTI and HEXACO say I’m over 90% introverted. I’m not surprised. Obviously, those tests should be taken with several grains of salt, but still.

I get ENFP, INFP, ENTP, ENFP, and ENFJ. It's weird.

I get INTP every single time. I'm over 90% introverted and over 90% thinking. HEXACO says I'm more emotional, but that's just because I panic easily. It doesn't really get in the way of my judgement, though, which is what MBTI tries to measure.

[Xmara]

Oh, btw, according to my forensics professor, I scare him.

I don't watch that show, but my prof does (I think).
