I AM really sorry for my SoCCSKSarGen Blogger friends if I was not able to attend our scheduled meetup because something really unexpected happened.
A man who once came to our church for help last year returned this morning. He spoke in the pulpit and told us that he is paying back the church by donating musical instruments like a drum set, keyboard, guitars, and also chairs and several sacks of rice.
Sweet isn’t it? Until we realized it was deception.
ISN’T HE just an amazing swimmer, Michael Phelps, winning a total of 16 Olympic medals? That is even more than what a country’s whole batch of athletes could bring home after an olympic event. Only very few people could earn success of such magnitude.
In the Beijing Olympics, he garnered eight gold medals, whoich earned him the record of most number of gold medals won. Here’s what I got from wikipedia about the events he won in Beijing:
I’M BACK to the contemplative me — which is the normal me, as it happens.
By the way…
It’s July 21 today, so we’re two days past the rumored doomsday. And what? Are we all dead now? Fortunately, the July-18-Earthquake thing was simply someone’s attempt at becoming famous or at proving how powerful a tool is the internet in creating chaos.
Yesterday we had a triple birthday celebration at home. Last Saturday was my older sister’s birthday, yesterdya was my niece’s, and today is my bro’s. We rented a videoke machine and we took turns with the mic from lunchtime yesterday until midnight. My cousin and her two daughters, who have just arrived from the states joined us. My nieces and my cousin’s daughter get on well with each other easily, thanks to high school musical.
I’M VERY glad, you know, that I’m not the only one who’s getting more and more excited to learn about physics. Some of my students are sometimes overly excited about the topics we’re discussing and some future topics I asked them to start reading about.
I think it’s just fine to talk about my students in this blog.
There’s my student named Gwenathan who would always ask me questions from time to time, asking me to explain this phenomena, that equation, etc. I admit, I’ve never been that interested in physics when I was in high school. I was just amused when I was able to figure out the Bernoulli equation back then and what it meant. But Gwenathan is different. He comes up to me during my free time (and sometimes, even when I’m having my lectures in other classes) to ask questions. Wouldn’t you be glad to have a student like that?
WE READ books for a variety of reasons. There is one book that I definitely look forward to reading for two great reasons: first, the subject is close to my heart; and second, it is penned by someone I personally know.
I am talking about The Market, a novel of finding your way back home. See, the theme is really close to my heart as my personal blog is called Homeward Bound! There’s something about the idea of heading home that keeps me inspired. Prolly, that is because of my belief that it is natural for man to look for a place to call home–and finding home means finding happiness. So, I expect that The Market might be about the quest for happiness, contentment, a sense of belongingness, comfort, inner peace, or self-actualization.
