Back to June

June 1. I spent the 1st day of June in Famy, Laguna for T3 CFI info drive at ABC Hall of the Municipal Office. I commend  Hon. Alejandro Jamolin for his warm welcome and his staffs and colleagues for their hospitality. I just discovered that Famy was named after the last name of General Emilio Aguinaldo's mother.  The town is just an hour and half drive from Antipolo City via Teresa-Morong Provincial Road. 

Sansan nail color. Sea Green.

June 2. Today. I painted my nails green. I don't know, I just so love the color. Sea Green. So deep, and love its summer crisp.  Well, it's not too late for summer lovin'.  

I'm missing my niece Reigne, she will get envious when she see the my nail paint. 

What's with June?

      I feel giddy hearing "JUNE".  It is back-to-school time again... I'm on my countdown. I'm excited to see those little big eyes staring back at me ask if I am the prettiest ever created. Simple joy of a teacher.
      I dreamed of my new classroom. To give you an idea of how it looks like, well, of course, it is colorful. It has a big bulletin board like a facebook page. I will take a snap soon.

     

   

Values, Attitudes and TEACHERS

I noticed that most of my post in FS blog were written when I was  on my extreme emotions. This one is an entry last February 2009.

Values can be taught. Attitudes are not, though we can do something about it. We often hear people say, “ay may attitude sya”. More ofen than not, it connotes something negative. If values can be taught, and attitudes are not, then it is simply clear that one must have the winning attitude to be a TEACHER, more so to be a teacher’s teacher.  We can never teach what we never have…so cliche’. However, we can preach what  we want others to have simply because we cant show them by example.  I am a newbie in the profession, but i think it is not enough reason for me to be regarded as if I know nothing, especially by my supposedly mentor in this vocation.  I dont know what its means now by respect. It seems like my old orientation of 'what respect is' is wrecked by just only one case where I was dragged into.  Respect is given not asked or begged. It was earned through times(Like trust)… and once it is broken, it will  can be the same again. Never! Like an old adage says, the scar will remain. I will never forget what had happen. The hurt feeling will eventually heal but when I look back maybe there will be a lil crack in the image that was perfectly created in my thought. I just want to put it this way: THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SHOUT OUT. We too, are trying to be the best. We tried  to make everybody believe that we are PROFESSIONALS. TEACHERS with attitude…I’m on my positive note now. TEACHERS have VALUE, without attitude. 


This one is a continuation of this post, February, 2009
Sorry seems to be the hardest word, it really is!…but it’s sweeter to hear someone from who says sorry that he/she accepted that his/her fault. Sorry can do magic.  It can heal even the most painful wound if it is sincerely said.  Hope the apology that we heard was true enough to her…

yes, she’s a human. so, we are too…and i think we deserve the apology. There’s no bitterness in my heart now. That was over. Thanks God, he made ways.

Appreciating an APPRECIATION

I wrote this entry in last January 30, 2009 at the peak of my animosity days with one of my superior. 

How can we fathom if it is a blessing?

Blessings come in different packages. It depends on how we see it and how we accept. When I was a child, nanay said that all things around are blessings from God. Hmmnn…maybe the world is good for her that’s why everything on it is a blessing. I was not a kid anymore, and now I understand what nanay tried to mean when she said it…that life is really unfair, so if you want it to be fair, start with yourself and it will go back to you million folds…

Why am I talking about blessing? Simply because there are some things which I couldn’t appreciate but I should have to. Just what happened earlier to us. I was disappointed coz my expectation wasnt meet, ( i’m referring to SHAP’s personnels day).  My apology to all the people behind the event, but there should be someone from “up” that should be present to share the day with us, personnels.  Do we deserve just like that? How can we have the will to wear formal if we know that we will see informal people? What am I trying to say is there should be more than just game and the plaque.  There should be something man lang sana that will make our heart melts.  Some moment to recognize our worth as teachers or personnel will count, coz us too, like our students needs positive reinforcements.

Hay…teachers, 69ers…what do you think? Are we singing the same tune?

PEOPLE of the YEAR 2008

excerpts from my FS blog, January 2009. 

Year end signals the reminiscin’ of the past year and the things that make sense to me and you. Awards for films, artist, music, everything are given…and i come up of my own list too. These are the people who made my year 2008 a blast!

1. NANAY will always be in the top of my list. She just turned 51 this year and still looking great. I admired her way of speaking in silence, that i cant really help but to read beyond the depth of her voice and thats her way to stop me…or to make me realize that the greatest expression of affection is beyond words.

2. BUNSO, my only brother, my best friend and worst enemy! He made 2008 a great year just because!

3. The FACULTY. My new found treasures, anj, sab, muymoy,tuesdei, different folks with different strokes yet we simple find it a habit to laugh at our own mistakes. Sir Lubin is simply the best! I'm so afraid that my descriptions won't commensurate the best of him. Dianne, ate aileen , ms. tess, ms, renee, sir edgar, ms. grace, ms. ivy, ms. malou, ms. careen, ate babes, sally, and the rest of SHAP faculty…your dedication truly deserves higher salary! hahaha…of course, my admiration and inspiration.

4.  The FORTitudes. I simply love the way they make me lose my temper, for their idiosyncracies are far beyond their age. The VOLTES V, they can say sorry so sincerely after a minute will commit the same mistakes in a while. The SAMS, Samantha Danielle and Ron Sam, they can be too great or to grate, the CHUBS, my gentle angels…simply adorable. All of them are special to me coz they are my very first advisory class. It’s never been a bad moment at all with the COOL lits.

5. TROPANG BI. My college friends who are still with me while I'm under pressure. They still set anchor for this weary ship. I won't be this tough if not for the encouragement and their faith in me. Thanks Cavitenas, Bulakenyas, manilenos, tal, and of course our ate irish.

6. KUYA YROT. MICKEY wont feel complete without Y-rot. My partner in crime. My true friend. I’m so lucky coz nothing can break us. He is my lawyer. I can't thank you enough for believing in me more than I do my self.

7. MY ATE WENG and ATE BABY. Distance is just imaginary. I miss these two great ladies. They are like my mom and sister. They can be more childish than I am but their advices really counts.

8.  Kuya Yrot’s BRO.  He never fails to amaze me…just because!

9.  LOLA HONOR. True to her name, such an honor to my family. She’s still my hardworking lola...nothing has change in her physical capacity…now older but stronger than ever.

10. BARACK OBAMA. barako fever! haha! i just love his ideals, though i never knew much of barack. TRIP lang hahah....

EMO

excerpts from Friendster blog entry, January 2009:


I would like to commend the person behind the famous slang today “EMO”. I couldn’t fathom really what it means but im trying to give my own interpretation. I belong! though, i dont wear eyeliners…

the pathetic, irritating, and sooo melancholic me is mask with hearty laughters and not so funny jokes, they said i have strong personality daw. but i want to leave the emo side of me to the old 2008…now that it is our year, the ox, im full of hope that positive things do come true.

My NEW HOME

I started blogging in Friendster Blog. T'was in 2003. Unfortunately, that account was hacked. I was not able to transfer some of my favorite entry from there. In 2009, I was back in my musings through my new friendster. Now that old friendster is near extinction, I would like to re-publish some of the thoughts in random.

I choose to put it here 'though i also have tumblr is because I want this account to be more personal than my other blogs.

Finally, I find the newest HOME for my wandering thoughts.
