He's just not that into you

I saw the movie, "He's Just Not That Into You" last night with my colleagues from Palmerston. It's a chick flick that they have at the local cinema every month and so for the 1st time, I went to the movies with a bunch of married/engaged chicks to the flick. It was fantastic! Loved it. I teared at the end where the part where, the girl dumped the guy after they've been together for 7 years because he would not marry her (ever) but is committed to & love her. BUt they spent a while apart and the girl realises the man she loved is far better than her sister's hubby whom they've just married to and decided that she'll rather have no wedding and be with the man that's far better than her sisters' hubbies. But then, he proposed to her in the end! So sweet & romantic! Brought tears to my eyes. Awww. it's a great chick flick.

In the movie, there's lots of what women think and what men thinks in terms of relationship. Men says one thing like "Call you later" but then later, he never does. The women thinks if he says call you later, he'll call. Soon. Today. Tomorrow. WhEN???

Some things are true ~ some men talks sweet but never walk the talk. Some men, just never talk and never walk. This is the even worse kind; one that doesn't even sweet talk, but never also walk the talk? But true, how can one walk the talk when he ddidn't even talk? Means no sincerity at the start.

I think I've just brighten up one of my student's day today. I gave him an award; teachers are supposed to give out a certificate of recognition for anything good they've done; be it academic, caring, sportsmanship or just being polite! I gave one to a yr 11 student who's behaviour & attitude has been quite slack and bad the last couple of years, but now he's slowly catching up. I gave him an award for "Caring of others" because in class last week, my contact lens was irritating me and at one point, there was really irritating, causing me to twitch and trying to get the 'dust or watever' out while i was explaining their assignment halfway. He kept on asking 'Are you ok, miss?'. I left the class for 5-10mins while i go back to my office to get eyedrops and go toilet and sort it out. When i returned to the comp lab, i started talking to them about their assingment & where we left off. He asked straightaway 'Are you ok miss?' I'm like 'yea, i'm ok now'. He has shown maturity and respect as well so far and that's really great for him. I had him in my Year 10 class last yr and he was abit of a pain in the ass. Maybe it's because of his gf, who's also in my class, that might have rubbed off some influence on him. He was quite happy and shook my hand. he did say that he can't give me a hug as there's the teacher-student relationship thing. I told him that I'm happy with a handshake :) End of the class before he left, he said "see you Miss". Which they seldom do la, but I guess he was happy. Another thing is maybe he never really got these awards frequent in the past, so this must be a big boost for him. I thought, he would be a good rolemodel to others and he should be congratulated & others may follow in his footsteps or rather, work better in class towards an award (they hope).
