ariellalisan.org – Homeward Bound

ON MONDAY until Wednesday, I will be scaling the heights of the mountains in my town for the post Christmas gift-giving dubbed as Tuloy and Pasko ng mga Bata.

I will go with the team composed of DepEd officials of Sarangani to distribute goods and to conduct?a fun day for the kids at Sitio Kiangkos, Brgy. Pag-Asa, Alabel, Sarangani Province.

The area is a mountainous place that is beyond the reach of vehicles. As I’ve heard, we have to walk about 5 hours on a steep trek to get to the place. So we actually set one day for the trip to the area and another one for the journey back home.

HERE ARE some of what I seek to accomplish this year:

For the Whole Year
1. Limit my consumption?of softdrinks to a maximum of 500mL per week
2. Avoid overeating
3. Spend at least 30 minutes each day in brisk walking
4. Have at least 5 hours of sleep each night
5. Prepare my lesson plans during weekends
6. Check quizzes?and activity sheets every afternoon
7. Save at least?1000 pesos each month
8. Find alternative income sources
9. Keep a daily planner
10. Read at least one book each month
11. Go out with friends at least once a month

WELCOME 2008!

I am finally saying good bye to the year that has just passed. But to start the new year, I think it’s just but good to take a look back at what had happened in the last 365 days. Let me call this my Yearender.

JAN-FEB – I started my 2007 with the question of whether I was cut for teaching or not. Then I started to love teaching and to find somebody to love. Then I found myself busy completing my requirements for graduation. In the midst of that, I was doing my duties to my fellow students. I performed at the Pathways benefit concert after getting sick.
