Dear Students,
Isang makasaysayang araw!
For more than nine months, we greet each other with this same greeting. We do not discover that each day, we create our own history. What happened everyday are all episodes – episodes of our personal history. Yet – we repeat our mistakes. We do not reflect that history expect us not to do it.
One lesson that I would like to impart with you is that, history do not repeat itself. We cannot recreate what happened, restore our relationships, repair our wrong doings, and so therefore we must use our precious time to fulfill our dreams, perform our duty and achieve our greatness
As a teacher, I tried to teach lessons to reach more than what is in the book. It is called life lessons – these things that guide us from what is right and what is wrong.
A Poem for my Students

For two hours, I’ve cried,
For two hours, I’ve soared,
For a thing that I anticipated the most,
For the event, that I never wanted to happen
I am not emotional,
Neither am I sentimental
But crying is a way for my heart to mend
And for me to start loving you all.
I want to say “thank you”,
I want to say “I love you”
I want to say “I am proud of you”
But words aren’t just enough to express everything.
Salamat sa lahat,
Salamat sa isang taon,
Salamat sa mga alaala,
Salamat, maraming Salamat!
BAKAS
Posted on: February 9, 2008
Its been weeks since I updated my blog. That is because I am so busy with my BAKAS.
But, what is “BAKAS”? It is a culminating activity of the Araling Panlipunan Area in our school. It is a program / mini-play that showcases the important turning events in the Philippine history. BAKAS has been planned for almost a year, and we started the practice since the start of the resumption of the school year after the long Christmas vacation.
All praises last month..

If you notice, in the past posts, I was in all praises of my advisory class, Bridget, but recently, they are starting to be so lax and lazy, that they tend to be overshadowed by other sections. And I hate being overshadowed. And most of their teacher are keep telling them off with either their mouth or their behavior.
So, I got wrong foot with Bridget this month. I am always in hot-head, not my comfort zone. Anyway, I think I am just so not comfortable with the situation.
Good Haul this Christmas

Last Wednesday was my first Christmas Party as an adviser and as a teacher. I was so excited, and prepared myself for the party. But I was not prepared for what surprised me. Really, a good haul this year.
Students from my school were really generous. I was very surprised that they give alot for me, with the understanding that they don’t actually fancy me too much, and sometimes I get too nippy on them. But hey, I thank them.
See, I told you, its a good haul this year. These pile of gifts are on my table. After the party upstairs in my classroom, I came back to the faculty, and was surprised to see this much pile of gifts. I really don’t expect too much.
I passed!!!

After all the hard work, the stress, the reviews, and the nervous breakdowns.. I finally can be called as a PROFESSIONAL TEACHER!!!
Although I haven’t got the official letter from Professional Regulations Commission, I have searched the net for the results. So I don’t know what was my final grade in that test, but hey, a pass is a pass.
So.. who wants a treat? Hehehe… just kidding, but I just might!
Here are some clips that I’ve told you yesterday. Don’t forget to visit the site and look around (link provided)

Maybe I am too emotional, but I am way too much affected with my students’ joys and problems. This is an advantage of a fresh graduate, “immature” teacher. Ehem, excuse me…
Now, I have two students, who I can say, is the closest to personality. I tend to see myself in them, a similarity that I cannot shrug off easily. One very bright student, but does not have focus on his/her work. The other, a student who needs academic help. The two of them, and their classmates are spoiled in my classes. That is a simple advantage of having a teacher, who understands them, having just graduated from college, and still very “immature”. There are times that people tend to see themselves in others.

It has been two months since I handled Bridget. I had received rather lot of feedbacks from
other teachers, about the way I handle them.
Normal teacher-student relationship, is what you can call my status with my advisory class. It is barely the end of the First Quarter, and I am pushing myself to my students. ‘Was it correct?’, I ask my self. ‘Was it ethical?’ Maybe, I am too used to ethics, so I can’t connect myself to them, or them to me. ‘So, was it me?’. I wish not.
Sure. Sometimes, I get mad with them, again, it is normal. But I am trying to configure what would be the best way to handle 43 students with 7 years gap from me. I may not be the ‘best’ adviser, but I am giving my best for them. But being so perfectionist, my best would never be enough for me. Would it be for them? I wish.
Some sponge and ground lessons

“Sir, what does a sponge mean in our lesson?” That is the most intriguing question that I received from my students since I announce that we will be needing “a sponge, a starfish, and a squid” in our lesson. Hehehe…
This week, I will allow them to enjoy my class, after a month of gruesome lecture, and map-readings.
