What a day it has been!.....I was so touched with the kids during our graduation.....and hats off too to our parents for the caring, nurturing they've given to the kids.....Even Ronald was there who shed tears of joy (the one that I had mentioned in my blog with so many problems).....He has been suffering from the negligence of his parents towards him....yet he decided on his own to join our graduation day....after suffering from an operation and a suicide attempt....I don't understand how parents could neglect their own blood and couldn't see the promise of hope in their children's eyes....He could be cured only if the parents had been more responsible....Though on a positive note I witnessed how some parents support their children despite the poverty they are experiencing......We should find ways to help our children in our own humble ways.....Even the least of our brothers have the potential to become great someday.....
I would also like to thank all my students for this school year.....We've shared so many happy moments together.....and thank you also for bearing with me^^ coz at times some lessons get so boring already....including me^^.....So thank you especially to Nneka who cried this morning.....this girl is just an average student yet she is just so adorable....and Myek by the way she is my buddy's pupil yet she is so "sipsip" to me^^.....Thank you also to Strawberry, the most humble of all , to John Paul, Christian, and Alexes for they just kept silent when I had lost my temper on them and got a share of my "Will you shut up or else" look^^.....To Karla ,Eduardo,Michaela who wouldn't leave the room unless things are in proper order.....To Vangelyn (who sings for me always and is soo sweet).....To all those who were soft spoken and shy.....I do understand you as well^^.....and you are in my heart always^^.....This past school year has been a blessing and I thank God for it^^
I really can't concentrate here...I'm trying to read but there are kids around the house playing...This one CJ is crying already coz Ella my niece keeps on teasing him.....Ella is really "pilya"....So this Marjay said I'm going to punish you Ella with my powers^^.....The kids by the way were playing like a"holy mass" coz Marjay is acting like the priest....He is even asking me now to lower the volume of my pc while he performs the mass^^....Haha!...such cute kids!
I just wonder like though kids nowadays are exposed with so many "complicated" things still there's this young kid who I think has that passion to become a priest someday....Somehow or rather God knew how to balance the different "forces"we have on our planet^^....
Speaking of balance the forces^^ somehow I've learned to manage pressures that come my way....I'm also proud and thank God that this school year I have a perfect attendance in school^^.....I guess positive outlook in life has played a big part in keeping myself on the right track....Yes as simple as that.....So be positive, more open minded, and more understanding^^
I just wanna share some things to you today my blog....I was glad to have more time in teaching my niece now than before....Yes I was like focus on other things and I forgot to spend quality time with my niece.... She really needs me....I see her interest in learning her lessons...I also admire Ella's dad, he's really the one who exert lots of effort in teaching my niece...and what I do to her is just a small effort....unlike what her parents sacrifice for her....Now I realize how important it is to spend quality time with our love ones....I mean it isn't about being with them all the time or most of the time... but it is how we use the time we have with them....
We had a half day seminar in school.....We were in "ICU" because my boss got angry when some were not able to make it on time and some were not around.....They have reasons though for not making it.....so I guess our boss will understand in time^^......
Well it's quite difficult at times to lead some teachers including me^^......coz we are already stubborn^^.....So if you want to become a school head you've got to have lots of patience^^in dealing with your subordinates or fellow workers....
Well speaking on behalf of my fellow teachers we aren't really that stubborn^^.....Our boss is just expecting much from us.....because she could really depend on us actually.....I know if ever there will be movements among schoolheads I know she will surely miss us^^.....and we will miss her too......for she has always wanted what's best for us^^
I thought of writing something today but I forgot it^^...My friend Cecil had suggested that in order for me not to forget what I want to write I should keep a paper and a pen with me all the time so that whenever a good idea comes out I could jot down everything immediately...or maybe I should keep those ideas in my heart too...^^
Although, last Friday I wanted to share the homily given to us by our parish priest about knowing how to listen to others words of truth ....or listening from the heart....He said many of us could hear but we really don't know how to listen....Listening from the heart would make you respect the other person he said....That way we will understand each other....Many of us rely mostly on what we know....we have too much pride....and we do not listen well....And when it happens we commit mistakes....and more often we could have avoided those mistakes if we just listened from the heart....
There were students who were present during the mass and somehow they understood the message well....So after the mass I noticed some students becoming more responsible when we had some discussions in the class.....so they listened from the heart....In a way when you convinced other people to know what is good for them somehow they would believe though they may not easily show that you had convinced them....Probably if you want people to listen to you or believe in you....you should also respect and believe in them....Respect begets respect....
Listening from the heart therefore is important and equally important would be believing that others would believe in you....and they would definitely listen to you as long as you give them the truth....
I got sick last night....Maybe it's because of the bad weather we've had for the past days....at times it rains and at times the sun just comes out...Though I'm fine now....I slept earlier than I used to and maybe I just needed some rest^^
We were busy in school....We have so many activities coming up as well....The kids though are very cooperative so I feel like the load is not too heavy to take^^...
Speaking of the weather again....its unpredictability can't be controlled....just like some events or situations in our lives....So we must think about how we affect others on the things that we do....We must be aware of our actions and make necessary adjustments if we feel like we are being unfair to others....We should be careful with those things....The weather is not always on our side....
Maybe if we only have an open mind....we could be able to solve whatever disagreements we have....
Speaking of disagreements....I think we should humble ourselves.... Respect the other person if there's a need for us to meet halfway.....Be sincere with our intentions....Understand each other....Give the other person a chance to show that he has an open mind, an open heart....Tell him with all fairness and dignity the grievances and plans you have....and you'll be surprised even a bad person has a good side, a kindness in him.....
Now even the bad weather can't
pull you away from where you are....
It's been raining here in Angeles City since yesterday..Weather news says there's a storm coming to us this evening..Hope it won't be as strong as the one that hit Manila two years ago...
I had to postpone some appointments too coz it's still raining until
now...Maybe by Tuesday it will be a fine day already...
Next week, we'll be praparing for enrolment too for classes will
start by June all over the Phils.....Then we shall
have the Brigada Escuela wherein parents and teachers work as
volunteers together for our schools cleanliness and beautification
...It will be a busy
month for us now since we will start classes again by the first
week of
June...
Hope it will be just as last school year that I had a good working relationship with my co- teachers and my boss.... though at times we do have some differences in opinions I still love working with them...But I had to be more caring and more loving with my boss because yesterday a co-teacher had to point me to the bulletin board just to make me remember my boss' birthday...Oh it was so embarrasing...I didn't realize that it was her bday coz I thought she just called us yesterday for a faculty meeting...Anyway there were 4 of us who forgot it but then I had wished I had been more sensitive when it comes to those things...
Oh rains had stopped for a while.....but then it will continue again maybe until Monday......but on Tuesday I wish it will be a fine day again...
