THERE ARE many reasons why I think today was freaky.
First, the rain. Did it rain here the whole week? I almost feel like I’m in Forks. (Haha. Watch Twilight the Movie at the theater near you on November 21 November 26.) Our school grounds, which is already swampy, now looks like a lake. I’ve always [...]

IT’S NICE to be back here.
We are here for the Regional Super Quiz Bee. I hope we can make it to the national level this time.
Right now I’m blogging from Lambat Sa Ciudad, a resto here. We are having dinner. It feels good to be here again, the place which used to absorb [...]

IT’S NO brainer, give a person something he would like and expect him to be nice to you.
When I was still a student teacher, I couldn’t seem to appreciate the Law of Rewards thinking that it only works on kids. But now that I’m a teacher, it seems to have found its significance.

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 [...]

It’s not that I am complaining. [...]

LIFE INDEED is a cycle. A few months ago, I’ve been feeling so low because it seems like everything I do fails. First, the blogging seminar we orgnanized was postponed. Of course, I’ve already put a lot into it. I also suferred some depression after the great deception. I thought it was just nothing. I [...]

NO, I am not currently in conflict with anyone at work and I hope it will be like that for the rest of my stay here.
I’d just like to write now about how I was able to avoid conflicts with my co-teachers in my first year of teaching. Here are the five thoughts I always [...]

WHAT A creative title! (Harhar!) But that is exactly what this post is about. Let me tell you what I’m into these days.
THE BLOGGING SEMINAR. It’s still not very clear up to this day. Loreen and I are working hard for this in preparation for the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2, which will be held in [...]
