TIME
At the start of this year,
I, as usual, made about a hundred resolutions
-Not to eat too much chocolates
-not to shout when I lose my temper
-not to love it at all.

STOP! – What do you think will the author do to fulfill his resolution?

At the bottom of my long list I wrote
“Keep Your Resolutions”
Using my time wisely is the hardest resolutions to make
I’m not sure if so far
I have kept this promise

Stop! – Why do you think the author cannot keep this promise?

This is because I do many apparently unwise things
This if given a second look would bear good fruit.

Stop! – What does the author do at daytime?

Take daydreaming, for example
Most of the time, it is considered unwise
If you daydream anytime, any day
But sometimes, at the proper moments it is good to day dream

Stop! – How could the author make his daydream come true?

Sometimes, one has an impulse to make his daydream come true
Thus, one works hard to fulfill what he daydream about.
Time is so valuable
That it hurts me to think
That I cannot keep all my memories in a little box
Which I can revive from time to time.

Stop! – What do you think the author did to keep important events?

I have often taped important conversations
and watched my mother prepare the camera to take a picture.
But I have always said to myself that it shouldn’t
Only the special events that will be recorded.
But everything in life
Everything happens only once.
Never can a moment be repeated at the same time.

Stop! – According to the author, how would boys and girls live to the present and the future?

A clock cannot be allowed to back up.
I think the best way to use this year
Would be to live each day, very well
Paying attention to the present moment and the near future.
I hope that all girls and boys will use FATHER TIME wisely.
I think he feels discouraged when he is put to waste.

Back to School

2011-06-05T09:48:00.000-07:00

Summer's out and yes! School is in!
Tomorrow will be the start of yet another school-year. And yes, expect a great traffic if you'll be heading towards Manila. It is therefore wise to sleep early and get up early so you'll spare yourself from being tangled and engulfed in such a bad situation for the first day of class. Remember, first impression lasts. So, if you're a student, by this time, you should have readied your things. If you're a teacher, it's more needed. You'll get pumped up on the first day of school. We need lots of inspiration in this chosen field of ours so, to start our day right, let's be in school on time....starting today!!! we cannot share what we don't have. As educators we all need to be up on our toes and about as it is always expected of us to be good examples to the eyes of the keen observers who are often neglected as intent listeners. We oftentimes think that children don't understand us but little did we know that their eyes are focused on us most of the times.
So, everyone...WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

Sugarcane: Good for the Throat?

2011-05-16T10:17:00.000-07:00

The sweetest grass one could find on this earth.

Sugarcane harvested. Ready for processing to make it into sugar.

I find it funny that something like sugarcane can actually be beneficial to the throat. All my life, I have been battling with tonsillitis. It's a pity because I sing. Singing is one of the things that interests me most. So, you could just imagine how i must feel when after eating something sweet and cold, my tonsils would grow to something like gingers!!! One day, (as the typical bedtime story goes) as I was walking inside of one of the biggest chain of supermarkets in Makati City, Philippines, The SM Supermarket to be exact, I stopped by the stalls that freshly offer fruits made into salad. You assemble the salad yourself. On the other stall, they were squeezing sugarcane but not the variety that's in my picture. It was the white husked variety. It's softer than the red ones. Then, my curiosity served me right when I approached that particular stall. Their add said that sugarcane can cure cancer of the prostate, can cleanse the body system etc. and off course...tonsillitis! BOOM! I ended up buying three containers of freshly squeezed sugarcane. I drank one cup and instantly, without exaggerating, my throat kind of opened from its being tight and sore!!! It was like finding a treasure or winning in the lottery! I have been taking antibiotics but it ruined my voice. My falseto. I can't seem to hit the high notes anymore!
But thanks to this wonder worker.....SUGARCANE!!!
You can try reading more about sugarcane on what other benefits one can get from it.

My imaginary cosplay image. Love it!!!

Well this is me (smiling while bloggin' mah way to you).
Sometimes, to relieve stress, we need to lay our hair down. I mean not literally with the ultimate goal of relieving tension and just be yourself. Being a teacher summons you to be prim and proper but there are other sides within you that sometimes wants to emerge. There are other passionate things you wanted to do aside from teaching.
As for me, one among a hundred of things that interests me these days is COSPLAY. I enjoy doing this with my kids. Here is a sample of me in my imaginary hair tint and make up. I don't particularly want to be another cosplay character but i just wanted to be simply me. Expressed in my own particular image and wishful thinking. (hahaha!!!). This makes me happy. I am able to express the artistic side of me in another way. I love painting, drawing, singing etc. I am also into sports and recently busied myself in the gym for it's vacation time. This is what is most rewarding being a teacher. You get to enjoy vacation time and just be yourself.

Burned Out?

2011-04-10T13:02:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wondered why sometimes we don't feel like working? Well, as for me, a hundred times or so i guess.
What's causing it? When everything piles up in front of me and don't seem to know where to start with, that's when i put down the bag full of undone things. What i do then is...i turn on my cd player and insert my flashdrive and listen to soothing songs i really loved listening to. It doesn't matter what genre it belongs but what really counts is that you liked what you hear. It serves as breather. Sometimes, I would do morning walks with my kids early when the sun's still asleep and i can hear chirping birds in the subdivision. I am just so blessed that my place is near the sea and the breeze adds up to the setting and cools my already burned out soul. Work is tedious in nature so we must learn how to cope with it or it will take us over and won't last a lifetime. There are lots of teachers dying in my place especially when it's the school year end. My observation tells me that the stress we get from the tons of work is killing the whole clan of educators. So, if you feel like you are all stressed out, take a break..Be one with nature. I don't know how but when i seem to lack strength, i embrace tree trunks and somehow gets energy from them. I talk to God and whisper to Him about anything and it gives me peace; an assurance that He will be there for me no matter what!
If u feel like giiving up sometimes, as I do and most everyone does I know, stop, breath and find ways to make peace with yourself for it is not the people around you nor the never ending task that's killing you but your being hard on yourself. Be gentle with yourself amd love yourself a little morel You maybe forgetting yourself for a little while now. Stay healthy too. That is physically, mentally and spiritually.

Choir Competition

2010-12-06T02:12:00.000-08:00

The Christmas Choir competition for teachers is just on the corner. I think I'm having goosebumps and butterflies in my tummy as the days grow shorter. The group is okay but what I'm most worried about is that I have a solo part in the contest piece. I'm hoping against hope that the Christmas weather won't affect my throat. The nights are growing colder and the wind in our veranda stronger than it used to be. My sore throat last week was terrible. I'm praying hard that I won't jeopardize the group. It's going to be on the 13th of December...meaning, it's already on Tuesday!!! God help me.... I hope we can bag in the First Prize...May the best choir wins!!!

Boy Scouts At Long Last

2010-11-10T14:38:00.000-08:00

Boy Scouts while shouting the "Hip Hip Hooraaay!

At long last the Boy Scouts' Investiture pushed through. It was supposed to be held last October 25th but due to heavy rains and other activities that went into collision with the scheduled date it was called off.

Fellow Scout Leaders from the left, Ms Jane, Sir Rommel, Me and Ms April

Parents should encourage their children to join scouts be them girl or boy. These activities hone kids' skills and personality as well. It is a very rewarding activity because in the age of computers, children have forgotten to spend time outdoors. They don't exert effort anymore to find out what a true pupa looks like or a caterpillar in the raw. I even have a pupil who doesn't know what a true calamansi tree looks like or where can we find earthworms when we need one to make it into fishing baits. They don't get to experience cooking rice inside bamboo trunks or cook eggs on paper. These things I learned during my scouting days in San Isidro Elem. School in Iriga City, my hometown. We didn't bring portable cooking stoves or bought ready made food. We cooked food for ourselves. When I was in High School, I remembered cooking rice with my troop using firewood. We were in Tagaytay City this time. We enjoyed eating what we have cooked. This also taught me how to be friends with other kids from other schools. I learned too how to be honest during games. How to build confidence everytime I was asked to sing. Talents were also honed because during campfires skits, dance numbers and what have yous were performed. Children can find their own person during these camp outs because they were left alone by their parents and fend for themselves. They discover new things about themselves too. I hope my school will allow our children to go a little farther from the school so it would be really a camping close to nature. I don't like backyard camping much. It's very limiting. I enjoy spending overnights with the children too telling stories and sharing thoughts under the moonlight. I hope scouting can be given more emphasis during October months to come.

Happy Moments

2010-11-07T01:44:00.000-07:00

This is my son, John Nicko. This was taken when he was in the Prom.

Now that he's 16, I'm more worried about his college education. He's now a freshman in one of the Universities in our place. The meager salary that I earn with the support of my husband, keeps my family going. We have had really bad times in our lives but God is there to push us up and arise triumphantly amidst the heaps of complications life brings us. These trials bring our family more closer. My son stopped for a year. He's supposed to be in his second year of college life but due to financial constraints, I failed to send him off that time. That was a big blow to me...I did not experience stopping from my studies when my time was at hand. That's what makes me feel uncomfortable because my parents were able to send me and my siblings and earned our education without stopping or pausing in between our chosen courses. My heart aches for my son because he's such a good lad. He studies hard and don't have vices and a very obedient son. A true joy to his parents.

Fast Forward... It was his time to take the final exam. We didn't have money again...I was thinking about a thousand and one ways on how and where to get money from. Finally, I went to the PPSTA when I finally had the time to because of so many deadlines in the school to meet. Finally, I went home with my money, a happy and thankful heart and two thousand richer! Hahaha!!! I didn't know I was having a refund of 2K. ( I remembered earlier that day I prayed and asked God that I needed a new cellphone). The Lord Jesus gave me a refund of 2k aside from the final exam balance and the miscellaneous and enrollment money I came to loan for! To cut the story short, I bought me a new cellphone..the one i liked.

The next day, my son woke up early and went off to enroll. While I was doing my never ending and tedious paper works, my new cp signaled i have a new message. It came from my son. It read " Mama, they are considering me in the DEAN'S LIST", with a happy face on it.

It was the most joyous, wondrous feeling a poor mother can ever feel!!!

Thank You God for never leaving us and always being there when we need You!!!

Where Do We Get Strength From?

2010-11-04T17:39:00.000-07:00

Long before the most awaited sem-break, I have anticipated it like a grand vacation because I thought to myself..."We (teachers) had a rough month we should be treated with some pampering. Instead, We were asked to make a summative test from first to fourth grading. Then, we were made to grace the brgy elections 2010. Only to find out that on that very same week, tuesday is the sole witness that we never really enjoyed the 1-day rest because we need to attend to our domestic chores left out during the weekend. And surprise! surprise! from Wednesday 'til Friday we were all so sleepy and tired but forced ourselves to enjoy of what was left of the seminar on How to construct HOTS questions using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Now, this is the most interesting part. We were asked to make an output off course...what is there left to do after a seminar than creating an output (a proof that we all worked and labored hard. lol! ) as if it weren't enough...the deadline was set on Friday...yeah right! The week that I dreamt of having a haircut, a nail trimming and polishing, a day for relaxing and maybe a foot spa or massage would make me feel like a lotto sole winner of the jackpot!!! But to my dismay, nothing of those happened. I still have a long hair needing some help, a chipped toe, a backache which I earned during the election and yes!...a splitting headache and feet sore from standing in a long queue at the city hall waiting for the very delayed arrival of the ballots! Whew! I don't exactly know where my strength comes from but the Lord Jesus 'cause After that "fun-filled" day when the votes were being counted, a heavy downpour with thunderstorms ensued... I'll ask you a question, HOW WOULD YOU IF AFTER YOUR FEET WERE FEELING SORE, HOT AND TIRED WILL ACTUALLY WALK ON A FLOODED SCHOOL GROUND HALFWAY YOUR KNEES? (inhale and exhales heavily)

It did not end there, scouting, submission of the Second Periodical Test Questions, Test administration, checking after, around 500 hundred of formal theme papers to be checked, The 2C2IA Lesson Plan for the Third Grading,

Below are pictures during the seminar. See how much we loved being tortured! Lolz!!!

World Teachers Day

2010-10-22T18:10:00.000-07:00

Roses for my Teachers With Love
During the Teachers' Day celebration, pupils from all grade levels prepared roses for their teachers. Then, they wrote sweet notes to their most loved teacher from all levels. They were just allowed to pick one teacher. They were also asked to choose the FRIENDLIEST TEACHER, MOST LENIENT, MOST FUNNY, and MOST STRICT. The teachers with the most votes in every category were awarded plaques during the day long activities.

World Teachers Day Until October 5 2010

2010-10-10T00:11:00.000-07:00

We were given roses and kissed the whole day thru....whatta nice feeling!!!

Very seldom that teachers do get attention. They are only given focus when the elections need our support. Nevertheless, teachers are always there to lend a hand. Sometimes it's a sad thing to be just looked over and not even looked at all. We only need some boostings at times when times are tough because we are but human. We also have families to attend to and not just paper works. SBM is soooooo tiring and sooooooo much work to do...To all teachers, HAPPY WORLD TEACHERS' DAY!!! Kudos!!!!

MUSIC - heals, calms, and GET ME GOING

2010-10-09T22:29:00.000-07:00

Kenny G...he accompanies me in my late nights of paper works...keeps me calm and focused. Music helps me get going. I remember when i got sort of sick of something doctors can't really find out what. I just emerged myself into music. Upon waking up in the morning, I usually would sing praises and love songs and inspirational ones. Every single genre that I could belt out while cleaning the house and doing some gardening while the kids were out to school and my darling hubby off to work... I fought hard to win back my old strength being robbed from me by something which makes me feel wasted all the time...i felt weakness and gets easily tired. My heart would pump fast and hard. I've had check ups but nothing particularly was causing any of it. I even feared the rain. Whenever my husband is not around and I'm left alone I get so afraid with the raindrops on the roof. They seem loud and horrific. I don't know why. I would shout "In the name of Jesus, get out of my house! Leave me in peace, spirit of fear!!! Then I would sing praises to God. And would look at my kids sound asleep. "Oh, God. Please let me live longer for these three boys You have entrusted to us to take care of and love and nurture". Then, slowly I would calm down and fall asleep. Days passed, I was also accompanied by Alanis Morisette. She inspires me a lot too. "That I would be good. Even if IThat I would be good, even if I got and stayed sick...That I would be loved...." Slowly, as days passed by, the shaking and palpitations and the senseless fear faded. I'm glad there's music!!! Healed my body and soul... Thank You Jesus for giving music to me.

Busy as a Bee

2010-09-29T09:46:00.000-07:00

Still not done with my summative tests...It's almost the second periodic tests.Tomorrow, it's the deadline for the remedial lesson plan checking. I also needed to print out some things. Whew! what a wonderful world..Today, I was one of the examiners of the NCAE. I enjoy doing stuffs like these.. Keeps boredom on check. It's a different environment.

Hyperkids: Attention Deficit Disorders (AD/HD)

2010-09-15T11:31:00.000-07:00

What it is

a neurologically based developmental disability which is characterized by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.

Inattention. Their attention is short. They can't pay attention to a thought long enough to conceptualize it or to an activity long enough to finish it. No patience.

Impulsivity. They can speak and act with great speed...They instantaneously act or respond without thinking of the consequences of his actions.

Hyperactivity. Occurs because the brain is unable to control behaviour and so there is general restlessness. In some cases, less physical activity but talks really fast - with great amount and speed.

No cause is known. However, studies link it to neurological basis. Children with AD/HD have problems with chemicals that send messages to the brain.
Studies also have it linked to hereditary factors. It tends to run in families. Relatives, both male and female tend to display the disorder among themselves than the general population.
It is not easy to detect when the onset took place. It is gradual making it hard to say when it all started and why. Others started as early as they were in their mother's womb. Others not until their teens.

Teachers may not recognize at first that he/she has one in her class. It may appear to him/her as...."makulit", then..."sobrang kulit"...and finally, " hindi na ordinaryong kakulitan". Annoyingly different.

These kids suffer from difficulty in paying attention, finishing tasks, listening, organizing thoughts, moody with frequent violent tantrums most of the time, and low self esteem. Maybe because they get scolded most of the time.

Families get tormented with situations brought about by the problem. They get tremendously stressed with the chaos and anxiety over sibling rivalry which is common in families with AD/HD cases. It is therefore noteworthy that stress is brought about by the symptoms and not by the child. Parents should not blame themselves and must look on the brighter side of the situation like seeking help from experts.

What teachers can do.

According to Sandra Reif, a US educator, do not assume that the child is lazy or defiant when he does not perform up to par. He may just be inconsistent. Sometimes he can do the work and sometimes he cannot. Do not give up on the child, no matter how discouraged you are. He needs your belief and support that he can eventually succeed.
Try behavior modification technique, and use positive reinforcement. Try to get his attention. If he dislikes drills on mathematics, try to use real objects. For instance, for every correct response, he can chew the food or chocolate that he counted correctly. Praising him for every good deed can go a long way. Work with the parent. Plan with the parents for strategies that you can work out for the child.
Do not listen to the previous teachers who maybe just disliked the child. Take him as a clean slate and work out schemes. Take him to a corner to quietly do his tasks without much distractions.

Take a Heart.

These children, when given proper treatment, they can function very well in school and in workplace. They even excel at par when motivated well. Some studies even revealed that some boys and girls seemed to have outgrown some of the symptoms and became achievers in their own fields.
No amount of tender loving care can be put to the drain. Love always conquers all!
