I woke up really late this morning...Instead of the usual 4 to 5 am, I woke up at 6:15 already....I was really in a hurry, took a bath (for about 10 mins.), then decided to take my hot coffee in front of my pc (I still have 15 mins to rate for IRMD) ....ahhh the coffee was really hot (and I was in a hurry^^)....so okay putting the cup of hawt coffee close to my mouth and I can 't see...oh no I can't see T_T...Why??? Because my eyeglasses became "foggy" hehe^^ I had to remove the"fog" from my eyeglasses...Remember the coffee was so hot (can we stop heat from evaporating^_~)....Sigh^^....that's what happens when I wake up late in the mornings^^ Haha ,ako ang "reyna ng sablay"^^
At 10 to 7 I was on my way to school....carrying a big big bag of used clothing that I will give to some parents and pupils in school.....called on the parents to choose what would fit them and just leave behind those that they can't use....But alas!, okay, they got all what they wanted and immediately left, but they left me with something to remember hehe^^ ....I didn't notice that a one year old child being carried by one of the parents was without pampers hehe....So yes hehe....Okay kids(my pupils) let's just fix "this" okay?....Any volunteer?....No one volunteered....It was the first day of the class and everyone seems to have had a jet lag or something so ....(planning to clean it myself)....."No no Maam! I'll do it"^^, Bryan finally volunteered....
Felt like people would always complain about how unsatisfied they are of their own lives....inspite of the fact that they can have 3 meals a day and can have everything in life.....Still they're not satisfied....whereas you see some of our poor neighbors lacking in everything....only trying to build a little self esteem for themselves.....
This holiday really got some of us feeling "high" or "low" or something.....Yet life for now is back to normal again....
Oh-Ten? Two-thousand and ten? Ten? What will you say when you have to say 2010 aloud?
Twenty-Ten sounds good to me!
What are you most excited about in 2010?
For our family, we're looking forward to my younger sister's marriage in January....and another addition in the family as my niece is carrying a child now....
For the school...a new building will be added to accommodate more students in the future....we're thinking of putting up a small library as well....
For our city, I noticed that Angeles has improved a lot in terms of its economic growth....More and more shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants,and other business establishments are now being opened....More roads, superhighways are being built as well...I thought it was just "ningas kugon" when they tried to implement some rules in some of our public markets and some traffic rules on our roads but I was wrong.....People are learning to cooperate on the rules provided by our city officials.....So I was looking forward to more improvements in our city....As a teacher it's my responsibility to help mold and discipline the kids to become more responsible now and in the future for the city's and the whole nation's welfare...
For the nation, I'm looking forward to more heroes or unsung heroes I may say to be unleashed as what Efren Penaflorida , a Filipino teacher, our CNN hero of the year of 2009 is hoping for....He is a good example for us...He served those who are in need despite of his being just a simple man....To those who were victims of violence, calamities, tragedies, diseases for the past years ....we're praying for you not to lose hope....There's always new hope not only this 2010 but for the coming years....I loved what Andrea Ivory (a breast cancer survivor and a nominee for CNN hero of the year 2009) said when she found out that she had breast cancer.....She did not ask God the famous "Why me?"....instead asked God "What for?"....willing to deal with her cancer with so much courage and hope....She did not lose faith in God....just like Efren Penaflorida ... She's given lots of hope for humanity too....
What's your New Year's resolution for 2010?
To be more patient^^, prioritize health,read more good books, to be more conscious also on what I need to know about things esp on the internet, be more caring and loving^^
What was the worst thing that happened to you in 2009? The best?
The best was when I relied on prayers much and saw the good effects they have in our lives....like when I was confined this year and got well immediately....and had an accomplishment at home....The worst was when I did not do what I really wanted to do especially if it's for the good of others, just to play it safe....although I'd like to believe that saying "no" is the best solution to that certain problem at that particular time....although I still feel guilty when I wasn't able to give my support to other people....
Today is the Feast of the Holy Family for Catholics but it could be for all families in the whole world as well....We make God as the center of our lives and Mama Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as our Holy Family....We are trying hard to follow the Holy Family in terms of having loving, generous, supportive members in our own families....How can we be a true family?
The key is we the children must never, never disrespect our parents, no matter what....I see how children nowadays treat their parents inappropriately....Most of our shows on TV and in movies show children as rebels,corrupt, disobedient while parents are shown as unfit as well to handle their kids....Remember some songs of Eminem....a son blaming his parents for his misery....and so many other songs telling us how we hated our own immediate families.....how come we never asked ourselves, what can I do to my family instead of blaming parents or your siblings for all your failures....What have you done as member in a family to save it?.... Have I been a good child myself.....If your parents failed to show love within your family, you have to make a difference instead....Show them how much you care for them by being a good daughter or a son.....to bring out the best in your family......You may never know you'll be the miracle that your parents are looking for....
Another big family that we should consider is "us" the whole community....including neighbors, friends, relatives, co workers etc....We must also include in our family the environment itself (animals and plants) that we should love, protect, and respect as well....
Remember my friends....."We are all part of God's family"...
Sa gitna ng mga pagdiriwang sa araw na ito, marami din namang mga kaganapan na di kanais- nais ang ating nasasaksihan... Hindi naman natin ito maiiwasan. Hindi perpekto ang mundo.... Ngayon na lang, naririnig ko ang mga "kasayahan" na kung saan halos araw- araw nang nagaganap... Hindi lang sa tuwing sumasapit ang araw na ito. Inuman, sayawan, minsan wala ng kabuluhan ang ginagawa sa isang komunidad. Nakikita ko kung paano bumababa ang moralidad ng mga kabataan kahit mga katandaan.... Nakalulungkot pero ito ang tunay na mga nangyayari. Daig pa ang giyera o ano pa mang kaguluhan kapag ang dignidad na ng isang tao ang nakataya... Sana naman katukin tayo ng ating mga konsyensiya... Sana naman panatilihin pa rin natin ang kagandahan ng ating kultura, ang pagiging malapit na tunay sa ating Maylikha.... Sana naman ay huwag nating kakalimutan na tayo'y may dignidad na dapat nating pangalagaan... Itayo natin at huwag hayaang lumubog ang kulturang Pinoy.
How and where are you spending this Christmas Day? Make spirits bright by sharing a photo!
First day in the morning I visited a small chapel and prayed...The people who go there mostly are those who are poor and sick yet full of hope....Some would even walk through kneeling towards the altar...By just being there somehow gave me a sense of peace....I am with people whom God loves and care about...I was just there and meditated for an hour....I prayed for my family, for the people who were there, for my friends, relatives, for children everywhere who were excited for Christmas....I thank God for Christmas....Then I hurriedly went back home so that I can share some gifts for the kids celebrating Christmas today...I guess the kids were the ones who made us happy by sharing blessings to them which were not really ours....the blessings came from the One up there^^
May I share a photo from google images...
.Kids make us happy during Christmas^^
