Teaching

Teaching is indeed, a very noble job. A teacher is not only meant for teaching. Teachers are there for the guidance, moral supports and  concern for their students.


The seed was planted. From the first struggling leaves sprouted the promise of a tree which eventually would give shade and bear fruits. If continuously showered with proper care and attention, the tree will engender other trees which will ascend the years.


I am the seed. I am now on my journey of the path I take. I am on the midst of struggles of trials to lift me up and make me ascend the journey.


I am the seed and now I'm ready to be a tree, giving shade, giving shelter and giving enough fruits of wisdom for my future students.    

Character Sketch

I have a best friend she is currently a fourth year college student taking up BSIT at STI-Cainta. Her doll liked eyes, porcelain skin and her long curly hair made her so perfect. Not that short, not that tall. With her rosy cheeks and demure demeanor can charm us. She loves wearing anything comfortable and stylish. She usually just wear a white shirts, pants and sneakers. She loves badminton, watching movies, going to the mall and hanging out with her friends. Shopping is one she admired most. It makes her feel good and gives her sense of gratification. A certified shopaholic based on her shopping = happiness. Her Mom used to work at France so she can buy anything that she wanted but sometimes she buy stuff even if she she doesn't need them. 


We became friends since I was a 5 years old I think. Because my father and her father are best of friends too. And our house are very near from them. Since then I always go to their house to play with her, and sometimes with our neighbors.


She graduated Preschool to Highschool at Cainta Catholic College. I usually teased her because she was so loyal to think that she was not even to transfer on other schools.


Now that she is matured enough, she is pursuing to finish her studies by early next year by God's help. Luckily she'd passed her thesis thats why I admired her perseverance to passed it though she wasn't able to sleep that much. 


I asked her what makes her stand out, she simply answered " I've always believed that individual is unique but what makes me stand out are my past experiences that moving and even traumatizing. They have taught me not  to take things for granted".

To You,

Hello there, its been a while since the last time I saw you. I know  your too busy on your studies. Every time my phone goes bleep bleep, my heart goes jump jump up in my throat and staring at the "1 message received" on the screen. While planning to press the keypads and covering the screen with my thumb to hide the sender's name, I am assuming that you were the one who texted just to say hello! how are you?. Slowly I will uncover the first letter of the sender's name. If its a letter other than R, I will heave a sigh, and read the message without further a do. But if it is a R, I will slowly move my thumb to the right to reveal the name. But unfortunately it was not you. Just a simple words from you can make me an outburst feeling.

My bestfriend always said that stop falling in love with you because you are too high to reach. But I can stop it, everytime we have parties and gatherings I can stop looking unto you. I have known you for 6 years. But that 6 years became so memorable the moments that we've spend together the laughters and tears. Each smiles and glances made me so in love more and more.Every time I think of you 
I can feel the butterflies fluttering inside me.

Now I'm telling you that you are the one for me. You are the one I dream about. No one can make me laugh like the way you do. If I have to wait, I will do it. 

You don't notice me or the way I look at you; maybe it's 'cause you only see me as a friend and nothing more, but when I look at you, nothing could turn my eyes away. I want you so badly!.

Generation Revolution

Back then highschool, we usually have a camp aims to a holistic development of the students. A four day event full of physical, mental and emotional challenges that I really enjoyed. The most memorable camp was held at Gethsemane Prayer Mountain , Montalban Rizal. As we arrived to our campsite, I can feel the solemness and peacefulnessof that place. As I walk around the site , I saw different kinds of trees that we often see from the cities. I also saw a chapel though I am not a Catholic, I still went inside of it. There were lots of  antiques statues and patrons. When I touched it, the woods are still smooth and glossy. I tried to play the old piano. As I begun to press the bars, I was so amazed because it can still produce a great sound. After the chapel, I went inside the prayer cell, that place so quiet I can only hear the chirping of the birds and the blow of the winds. I personally reflected to about my relationship to God. 


Lunch time, the staff prepared foods for us, it so delicious and the deserts made me happy. At night, the smell of the flowers and the coldness of the breeze made us stay outside our rooms. That is the first time I had smell the fragrance of  different kinds of flowers that are blown by the winds.

Tidal Wave ( Film Critic)

I have never been much a fan of science/disaster film though we have DVD copies of 2012 and Tsunami in Japan because it doesn’t capture my full attention and just worrying if that situations might happen. But I’ll give it a try to watch “Tidal Wave” a Korean movie, directed by yoon Je-kyoon. Billed as South Korea's first disaster film. The story follows a number of characters who are - and will be - affected by a tsunami. Unlike many American disaster films, Tidal Wave actually allows us to get to know many of the characters affected by the wrath of this monstrous wave and, while sometimes we're probably better off not knowing the characters (or else we cheer when they die!), especially the man that pretended as a fiancé of Hee-mi who fell in love with the coastguard when he rescued her when she accidentally falls from the yacht. This opportunity to truly realize the humanity and imperfections in the characters makes the film slightly more believable. 

Sadly, much of the believability is taken away due to some downright sad special effects. Some of my classmates screamed so loud but the special effects are not that believable especially on some waves that will hit the streets. (Haha)  But the series of scenes involving a cargo ship that crashes into a bridge is particularly satisfying. The effects how the cargo ship that crashed to the bridge looks so real. Man-sik, as a seafood restaurant owner who accidentally killed his female friend's dad, stands out. I love the way he acts and the way he expressed his real feelings to Yeon-hee.

But seriously, the main goal of this movie is to made us realize how chaotic the world would it be if the nature especially God are the one who will punish us from not saving and protecting our planet earth. Imagine the tsunami that hits quickly and does the bulk of its damage in somewhere between 2 and 10 minutes. We can’t predict if that one will happen and when, but let us pray that, that kind of disaster will not happen like the one had been experienced by Japan. SAVE MOTHER EARTH !

How to wrap a gift

Ninety four days left before Christmas , maybe some of us are already busy decorating their houses and thinking what should they give to their loves ones. But wrapping is also a major problem especially if the gift is too big.
So here the basic steps how to wrap your gifts.


`Materials:

• wrapping paper
• tape
• scissors
• ribbons

`Procedures:

1. Prepare all the materials on a clean flat surface. Lay your box in the middle of the wrapping paper. Bring the long sides of the wrapping paper up around your box, pull them tight, and tape them down so that one overlaps the other. 
2. Wrap the paper all the way over your gift, with a 1-2" overlap. If necessary, cut along the line where that overlap ends.
3. Lay the box with one short end facing you, taped side up. On that end, fold the top side down until it's flat against the end of the box. This will fold the left & right sides of the excess paper into triangles. Take the left triangle and fold it smoothly against the end of the box, then take the right triangle and do the same. This leaves you with one last triangle on the bottom; fold it up against the end of the box, and tape it down.
   Turn the box around & repeat on the other short end. 
4. After you wrap the box you can put ribbon for an extra touch. Your efforts will be much appreciated by the receiver.

You should not give a super expensive gift it should be a simple ones, but maybe of course it depends on the person how much she will be appreciated your efforts just to make you feel happy and important.

Thinking for a Christmas presents. . . your Family is the best Christmas present

Christmas is coming again it is the time that all of our love ones gathered and share each Christmas presents. For me everyday is Christmas when I am with my family. Though we are always facing trials in life, we face it wholeheartedly because we know that trials are only a test given by God.


Back then Highschool, all of us students were so excited when the month of December finally came because most of the teachers were too busy planning for our Christmas party. Before the day of our party, our pastors and principal always prepare either of a feeding program or gift giving. But the most memorable I think was when we held our gift giving at the dump site near Junction. My schoolmates made themselves as a clown so that they can give joy to the young ones. When we finally see the place, oh my God it was truly a dump site. My first ever dump site experience.  But our Pastor said that we shouldn't  mind the place though it is dirty and smells oh so bad. But do it with a kind heart and with God.When the program started one of our teacher asked us to get a partner who are living in that place, so I picked a 4 year old girl. At first she was so shy but as time goes by she finally approached and talk with me. During my stay on PCSI my alma matter, every Christmas is memorable because they give us a chance to experience and to see the lifestyle of the people or of the families rather who is not that well-off. 


I remember also when I am in grade 5 , we also held our gift giving at bayanihan street near Parkplace, were there is an orphanage for the disabled and special children. Although they had been abandoned by their families, the staff love them so much and treated them as their own children. They have workshops so that they can develop their own skills and abilities. And after our program, one of the staff said that the special children can make soap and chocolates by their own and I was so amazed that despite of their situations they can stand by themselves and live like a normal person.
So I am also looking forward for the memories that I can also treasure here at CCC.


In that once in a lifetime experienced, it made me realized that no matter rich you are but your family is always busy it is useless especially when it is Christmas. The true essence of Christmas is not just for the gifts or the money but it is the time that you are with your family. Your family is the best gift under the Christmas tree. Our days are incomplete without seeing our parents who always support us no matter what happens. 

          This picture was taken last year's Christmas with my cousins and bestfriend. :)

The Bird's Nest

There were a pair of birds who build their nest on the tall and large trees along the forest. A place where eggs are laid and hatched. The birds are very happy watching their eggs so shiny and well-rounded. They undyingly protect it so that no one can harm nor take it from them.

One day, they heard a strange noised. They are very scared and doesn't know what they are going to do. They saw a group of people walking with sawcutters. They are an illegal loggers from a private company who supplies wood for making furniture and other materials. Suddenly they feel that the tree where they are leaving is shaking, the leaves begun to fall and they realized that the tree where their nest placed is being cut. The eggs are rolling and some of them were fell and broken. The birds gets angry with the illegal loggers and begun to pecked them so that the illegal loggers will stop cutting the trees for them to save and help our environment as well the others animal's habitat. The birds decided to find a new place where they can live together with their remaining eggs.

Best Frogs Forever

As Pinkfloyd had traveled so many places, she is still lonely because nobody can understand what she feels and what she wants to do.

But when Pinkfloyd came to our house, she met her look-a-like frog Kokapink they were like cloned because of their resemblances especially their color. She is my best friend because she is always beside me to comfort me and I can share my problems with her. But I can share Kokapink to Pinkfloyd so that she will not be lonely anymore.

Then Kokapink started talking with Pinkfloyd. She knew that Pinkfloyd was not bad at all. She was good and very sweet. Kokapink’s first impression was wrong. They slowly became friends. They share their experiences in life and their journey.

Kokapink knew that Pinkfloyd had a worst experience with her past bestfriend.
One day when Pinkfloyd and her bestfriend are playing on the garden they saw a grasshopper since they are both tired and hungry, they decided to get the grasshopper and share it with each other. Her friend had some difficulties getting the grasshopper because it is so fast to that she can’t catch. Pinkfloyd was the next one who tried to catch the grasshopper. She calmly and patiently waited the grasshopper to stay on a place where she can easily catch it. Luckily, Pinkfloyd caught the grasshopper, she easily bring it with her friend. But unfortunately, Pinkfloyd haven’t taste nor eat even a small portion of the grasshopper since she was the one who’d caught to the grasshopper. It made Pinkfloyd very sad and an outburst of tears came out. Since then Pinkfloyd stopped talking talking with her.

Kokapink was too emotional when she heard Pinkfloyd’s story, she hurriedly grabbed and hugged Pinkfloyd. Kokopink promised that she will be her bestfriend from now on.

They will both respect and acknowledge each values. They don't have to manipulate, control, or change them to suit their own needs or beliefs. They feel safe and secure within their relationship because both of them know they are valued and accepted as a whole frog. Neither of them would ever abandon the other one for any reason. Those two frogs can be a true friend. They are not a user of people, a manipulator, a frog with many hidden agendas, and they won’t need to denigrate or devalue each frog to make themselves feel good.

 

On that sunny day

an unpredictable rain 

hangs on my shoulder.

Oh shiny rainbow
you fill the sky with colors
so bright and pretty.

Birds chirping their song,
trees are dancing when winds blew
I love watching them.

The cats are playing      
dogs are barking so loudly 
true both enemies.


Clouds are so dark 
a strong wind came to the streets
but no rainfall pours.

A Friend

A friend will always be there
to hold you tight.
A friend that can bear,
all the pain you feel inside.


The unconditional love
he offers you,
is the best thing that 
God has given too.


A friendship that will last forever
is the bond that holds one to the other.


I love you because 
you made me discover
the real me.


God has showed me
the light because of
a friend. 

                      

Sorry

Sorry if I hurt you 
Sorry if I ignored you
I'm just trying to forget
Forget the pain that hurt me so much
I'm just trying to heal the wounds in my heart
The wounds so deep 
That only happiness and love can heal
But I can't find what I need
No one makes me happy
No one wants to love me
They always ignore me the way you do
They always hurt me like you did
I don't want to be in love anymore
Because I don't want to feel sorry anymore.

                                         

Could Have Been

It could have been us
If you waited 
It could have been us
But everything's wanted


Every time I look back
I blame myself
'Coz if I just said yes 
Then you wouldn't be someone else


It could have been you and me
But I guess it will never be
I should have been happy
You could have been here beside me. . .

                                               

To my Dearest Papa

The man who scooped me up whenever I fell asleep in front of the tv and put me in our bed. It just felt good knowing that you Papa would take care of me no matter what.
      I was a timid child. For all that, I am sure I was also obstinate, as children are. I am sure that Mama spoiled me too, but I cannot believe I was particularly difficult to manage; I cannot believe that a kindly word, a quiet taking by the hand, a friendly look, could not have got me to do anything that was wanted of me. Now you are, after all, basically a charitable and kindhearted person, but not every child has the endurance. You can treat a child only in the way you yourself are constituted, with vigor, noise, and hot temper, and in this case such behavior seemed to you to be also most appropriate because you wanted to bring me up to be a strong, brave girl.    
     Though I may not always know how to show that I also care but in simple ways I did. Mama always ask me if I am your wife because until now I sleep beside you and Mama sleeps in the other room. Because I want to be by your side even if I am now 18 years of age.
    I look up you as my hero, in your unique ways I learned how to compromise. In your kindness always shows, you are like an angel in disguise. Though we are not that well off but you and Mama always do something to buy all our needs. 
    Whenever I am sick, you are always there to take good care of me and to buy my medicines sometimes. After I graduated High School I tried to apply some scholarships in order to help you and Mama to pay my school bills. Luckily, I had passed it because I have strength and passion to pass it because of you. I know that you also find some difficulties in processing my scholarship papers but all that were paid off.
   I promise that I will study harder to achieve my goals in life. You know that I have so many dreams to be achieve but all of that dreams , Papa you are my inspiration.
                          I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER ! ♥

Life is like Dancing

      Can you think of yourself as a dancer? You might think you have to be a 'born' dancer, but try to get past that impression. Close your eyes and picture yourself in front of a huge stage and you want it so badly. Picture that stage as being your life. Today, that stage is with huge crowd. You, as the dancer, can choose to have whatever music you want. You can choose your favorite song or modern songs.
       
     Play the song you have chosen and play it as loud as you want. Raise your arms and begin to have some moves as freely and gleefully as you can. Picture the movements of your body just the way you want it to be. Be generous with your steps.  Don't worry about it being perfect . . . just do want you want with it. Satisfaction is the perfect partner to your imagination. Dance with you heart! 


Move!


        Do you want a better job or a different career? Anticipate it! Do you want a hearty, affectionate family life? Anticipate it! Is your life chaotic and something bothering you that you desire peace and harmony?Anticipate it!


Then do it!


        Sound much too simplistic? Sure it does. . . probably to most people. But it is simple. Maybe not easy, but simple.


        If you can imagine something for your life, it can happen. You will have to get out your dance and make a motion. Then you have to take action in the direction of your dream, one step at a time. You should work harder to make it so. Don't rush time. The manifestation of your dream depends on how badly you desire it  and how hard you're willing to work toward it.


      You might very well have some way sayers declare your dream to be impossible. Sometimes we seek certain opinions and advises to our family and to our closest friends. But we shouldn't trust that much, because there is a chance that they are insecure to us. We all have our own life to pursue, own kind of dream to be weaving. And we all have the strength, the patience, and the passion as long as we keep believing.


      Keep dreaming. Live the life you imagined!
      
      DREAM BIG !

                         

My Dream House

As I get closer and closer to the island, the house that I have always dreamed about awaits me. I can see it from a mile away. Everyone has that house that they have always dreamed about. It is so massive, that it is the most noticeable construction on the island. My own private plane lands on the landing strip located next to the house. As soon as I get off the plane I then begin my voyage down the path that leads to my dream house. I am anxious to get to the house that I will spend the rest of my life at. Everything that surrounds me is simply amazing including all the trees and plants. It feels so good to be at a peaceful place and all you can hear are the birds chirping. As I draw nearer to the end of the road my dream starts to appear. After all these years I can now see my residences up close. Nothing could ever compare to the sight of my house. Nothing could have compared to the moment I was experiencing.

What is better than looking at something you designed? My house is a three story dream that lies on a twenty acre lot. As I come near to the entrance of the house I am then surrounded by four columns that lead to the most elegant doors in the world.  The doors were made of mahogany with glass stained windows in the center of the each door. Each handle was made of brass along with brass frames. As I continue to walk around my house I come across five windows that seem to overlook the house’s entrance. The walls of the house are made of a good material to avoid damage. The outside of my house has an amazing view of an ocean and I can only imagine what the rest looks like. 

I am Prophet

I was born on the one of the  `BER` month .

I dance, praise God and write some stories.
Someday I will  be a successful woman and travel the whole world with my family.
I am a servant of God.
