Congrats to all my fellow bloggers in Mindanao for a very successful summit here in GenSan! I missed the first day of the 2nd Mindanano Bloggers Summit (MBS2) but I still had the chance to meet some of the bloggers who stayed for the tour. I only caught a glimpse of the summit and it was fun. How much more if I was able to enjoy the rest of it? Kudos to my fellow SoCCSKSarGen bloggers who worked hard for its success, especially Sir Avel and Sir Hecky!

LIFE IS getting more and more complicated for these days and I’m about to lose my sanity.

I BADLY NEED A BREAK.

After days of poring over our school improvement plan, I had a (very) short break in Lake Sebu. No, it wasn’t really a break; it was part of work. And now, I’m back to my stressful life.

Next week is our Mid-year Performance Evaluation. That means a break for the students but not for us, teachers. That means loads of work to be done and training conferences.

TO DO A DEMOSTRATION TEACHING NEXT WEEK

What’s wracking my nerves about the coming week is my demonstration teaching. The participants are master and would-be-master teachers all over the region. The former Education Supervisor in Science of Region XII asked me to prepare a lesson on radio communication systems. We will be having a meeting tomorrow to discuss the details.

I tried to bargain with her that I could not do it because it’s me who needs training. But it seemed to be a tall order and she has already talked with my principal about it. All I could do now is obey.

When that demonstration is done, I would really spend a day in our farm to unwind. It’s a need that if not addressed will take me to the nearest mental asylum.

I’VE BEEN away for quite too long that I find it difficult to shift my gears back to my normal blogging life. It was just a week-long absence, but it felt like eternity. I’m like, Am I still welcome in the blogosphere?

Well, anyway, it’s a free world. So I’m welcoming back myself again.

I’ve just arrived from Lake Sebu, South Cotabato where the Regional Youth Science Camp was held. I coached my student in Physics Quiz Bowl, in which he emerged 1st Runner Up, only two questions shy from Championship. It could have meant a trip to Mindoro sometime in February. But fate has its own will; we can only submit to its whim.

THE IDIOM is just so apt for me these days. I’m like a zombie at home. When I arrive, I just go straight to my room and doze off. I just hope we could finish the school improvement plan very soon. I could not take it if our stress would be prolonged.

It’s Saturday today but I and three of my co-teachers spent the whole day in school polishing our school improvement plan, which we were working on for almost a week already. Even until tomorrow, we’ll still be going back to school to finish it. It’s like being in college again. Ugh.

AND WE are now an official badminton club! We can now use our town’s gymnasium. When we stated, we’re just playing in front our our municipal hall. Although we dind’t have problems with the place, having it in the gymnasium is more comfortable. Plus, it gives us security that whatever the weather, we can go on with our fitness activity.

When I get my payday advance, I will buy a new Yonex. Mine is very old. I started using it when I was in gradeschool. Haha.
