Glad to be a teacher!
December 14, 2006Wala lang ….just wanted to write yesterday's…..tear jerking….MAALAALA MO KAYA ….Live! Testomonial Program of my two colleagues….Ma'am Allie and Ma'am Pura…mga good teachers na naabutan ko pa when I arrived in the school where I'm teaching now ….Ma'am Pura Grade head namin last year sa Grade 1, very supportive with my career specially when I had a self diagnosed…deppression, she was there to tell me na Life's like that….teaching is challenging…..I was undergoing a culture shock then. Ma'am Allie "The Perfect Host" ….from preparation to restoration! She's the H.E. Coordinator and very motherly, though we'd been together for a short time…..but I can really say she's a very nice person…..motherly! A mother anyone would want to have…..she's very sweet and soft spoken to add very concern. Yesterday together with the teachers, administrators from different school in our district including the district supervisor we prepared a program for them….started with a prayer in a form of song by Ruby, my colleague and I….."How Great Thou Art" ….then the introduction of honorees….after they were introduced dramatic ang intro…. they walked down the isle with their husband and children…..going to the stage where they joined all our guests…"party poppers" were blown that added intensity to the entrace…..of the royal court!….when they settled at the stage, presentation from the teachers started….first to perform mga Kinder and Grade 1 teachers….they sung….."If we hold on together ….I know our dreams will never die…dream see us through to …forever where clouds rolled by…for you and I!" …..huhuhu! Then a message was given by Marife, daughter of Ma'm Pura and student of Ma'am Allie and a teacher in our school……she thanked both ladies with tears. Then the Grade 2 and Grade 3 teachers danced with sweet music to the honorees….then a message was given by Ma'am Nitz, friend of both honorees, flowers ang gifts were being offered. After the presentatation, Ma'am Nitz the bestfriend of Ma'am Pura gave glimpses about her…..she recalled how they shared their meals and problems…..sighting some unforgetabale moments…..she was in tears…and so with the audience and guests! Then Ma'am Amy , Ma'am Allie's bestfriend gave glimpses about her….she shared their funny experience at the mountains…….when they were first assigned in the farflung areas until they were tranferred our school! ……tears were pouring down……like rain! After that presentation from Grade 4 and Grade 5 teachers. We danced swing….. the easiest step available for DANCEROUS like us! hahaha! After us the Grade 6 and floating teachers…. they danced….BOOM TARAT TARAT! the crowd was very noisy….singing with the music! I really enjoyed the sight it gave me a sense of belongingness….nga maestrahon jud ko! hahahahaha! Now I realized it's not easy to be a teacher 8 days a week ang duty!!!!! huh????????????????? yes! kay bisag naa ka sa balay ……daghan kag paper works but somehow as you see your students progress you will feel satisfied and contented……and feel blessed to be a part of these childrens' lives! After the program…..picture2!…..then salo salo together …..and walang hanggang tawanan! Masarap naman pala ang buhay sa DepEd!…Minsan!
Bakit simpleng kabatak?
December 12, 2006Bakit simpleng kabatak ang name ng blog ko?…wala na bang iba?… well, when I was in college ang saya ng klase namin …kumpleto ang casting ng mga characters at mga eksena ……drama, comedy, suspense at horror….kaya sayang kung di ko maidocument……1 day …ambot unsay akong nakaon….I made a mini newspaper…testing 1,2,1,2 lang …sa isang coupon bond folded into half making it 2 pages …4 empty spaces na pwede mong paglaruan with words describing something……why kabatak nga? well, it's from a song …simpleng kabatak, simpleng kabarkada…i'm sure some of us like simple people….agree? So i decided na kabatak ang title ng daily paper ko…owned and manage by…yours truly….so ang laman ng kabatak ay lahat ng mga pangyayari the day before…..patok na patok ang unang issue kasi lahat ng bloopers inside the classroom nakasulat don…..kaya pepsi ang feedback……..ask for more!…..Kung masaya sila mas masaya ako….kaya everyday they don't miss to have an issue…..kaya sulat ako ng sulat…minsan ang mga readers nasa tabi ko na habang nagsusulat ako….nag aabang na …ang gulo pero ang saya…..so to all my friends out there ……mga simpleng kabatak ko….. the show must go on! …. I miss you all…….batch '92 sa high school ….asa na mo? ….this blog's for you wherever you are….
hayyyyyy salamat!
December 9, 2006I gain a new freedom…..I will be able to express my thoughts in this blog for a longer time hopefully to express my deepest and the shallow thoughts! huh! ….so fasten your seatbelt and relax……. from this time on there will be pouring of thoughts…..I want to thank all my friends for making my life wonderful and colorful! Life is nothing without GOD and angels called FRIENDS!
simpleng kabatak….
sa buhay kailangan natin ang mga simpleng kabatak sa bawat yugto nito …mga simpleng kabatak na laging dumadamay sa ating kalungkutan, makinig sa ating kakulitan at higit sa lahat kasama nating tumawa sa makulay na kwento ng ating buhay……hindi ka iniiwan….busy lang…..kaya….thanks for the time!
