Priceless Smiles
Our students in community immersion. they hunger for education, they need someone who can teach and touch heir whole life. I find this experience challenging because I'm not used to interact with children...
But the moment I was able to interact with them, I can feel the fulfillment---the most rewarding feeling a teacher could ever feel...
But the moment I was able to interact with them, I can feel the fulfillment---the most rewarding feeling a teacher could ever feel...
And it's really nice to know that most of my students in community immersion said to me that they want to be future teachers---like us... sharing the knowledge, sharing the love and giving inspirations. i know that this experience helped me, not just a future teacher but as a total person. This bunch of wonderful creations had given me strength to continue living, fighting and learning. Maybe someday, some of them would be like me... some may pursue their aspirations in life... but one thing i am certain: "they will have the eagerness to reach their dreams..." those smiles...those laughters...i will surely won't forget....
These smiles will remain in my memory... the smiles of hopes and eagerness to continue going amidst the difficulties of life.

An English major's reply
Every individual in this society has his and her own unique and distinct characteristics that are exceptional and different from others. We cannot say one is better than the other. We cannot compare, judge, nor say something against others right away. We need to know the person deeply before we say something negative.
In college, students are grouped according to their areas of specialization which is coherent to Gardner’s concept of Multiple Intelligences. It’s been three years of my stay in here in CHMSC and I am a witness of so many opportunities given to deserving students who does well in their areas of specialization and brought victory to our institution. I have also been a witness of couple of number of misinterpretations and I have been hearing negative feedbacks about group of students, specifically, BSED English students.
They say that English majors are arrogant, boastful and the like. . . and it’s been three years that no English major have reacted on this rumor---I might be the first one to stand and prove you wrong about this issue. Why is it that SOME always compare us to other students taking up other courses who are basically different from us? I admit that sometimes, we are too loud enough… but is it an appropriate reason for SOME to look at us as if we had committed a hideous crime and talk about us negatively? Complicated isn’t it?
You know what is the most frustrating among all? It is when the people whom you expect to encourage you seems to be the reason of your depression . . . and it’s not healthy I think. I am certain of individual differences and I RESPECT other people’s opinion but they, too, need to understand our nature. If they don’t, I advise them to stop wasting their time thinking about our mistakes and just don’t bother themselves about our imperfections. After all, WE ARE HERE IN SCHOOL NOT TO IMPRESS PEOPLE WHO DOESN’T EVEN TRIED TO ACCEPT US. We are here because we want to learn and persevere to reach our goals in life.
Actually, many achievers came from the English department---that is because we took all of those negatives as our reason to keep going and make each one of us proud and inspire others as well. We may not be as perfect as other people see themselves. We are only humans who sometimes commit mistakes. At the end of the day, we are always thankful to those who believe that we can . . . and to those who are wasting their time looking at our faults.
I always believe that criticisms are just part of growing up. It’s either you take it as an offense or a challenge for you to reach farther and higher than ever before.

The last meow
![]() |
The night was deep and silent
When snores sound like moans of beasts
Then I heard scratchings on my door.
I got up. Walked towards the door.
I opened it. I saw a black cat. Looking at me---Fierce...
"Meow", said the cat.
My sight was then blurred with something i don't know.
When my consciousness came back,
I saw the beast lying lifeless on my doorstep---Bloody.
And i noticed, I was holding a knife.

Too Early for the Next Subject? Reason?
I'm always the center of attraction every time our instructor see me enter the class late. I don't think it's not really my fault. I sometimes get into a situation where no jeeps or buses passing by the road... there is, it's fully loaded with passengers. It's not only I who encounters that kind of problem everyday most especially when classes start at exactly 7:30.
Going to school is difficult but going back home is much terrible. sometimes I really need to go to Bacolod city to wait for a bus going north. There was a time that I went home past midnight due to the less number of buses traveling. But the most unforgettable experience I ever encountered was when a heavy and falling from morning until afternoon. I can't go home that time, Silay City was flooded. Some people heading South were stucked in E.B.Magalona and people going north were stranded in the bus station INCLUDING ME and my friends.
These are just few of the problems I encountered every time I go to school and I go home LATE AT NIGHT and they can't blame me and the others who always encounter problems like this. I think my reason is valid enough. :-)
Anyways, I'm always trying really very hard to come to school as early as possible. If I arrive late, i don't mind because I'm after of the lessons not the attendance marked by the instructor in my class card.
I would like to end this post by an ironic parody quotation : "I don't want to be an early bird because i don't want to eat worms...yuck!" Ironic but it made sense...

| What a Paintful Day! |
The heat of the sun was scorching. Together with my friends, I played with paints... Art i must say (hehehe). we roamed around Cadiz City's Public plaza. We ran after the people who ride in their bicycles and put some paints on their faces...
The celebration was indeed colorful and blissful. some people put some paints on our faces too. We danced on the streets while club music is playing. The people were screaming happily. woah! Then i noticed, the sky is dark... later i found out it was evening! How I wish I could stay there longer... but i was really very happy that I got the chance to get along with some good friends of mine...and that made the spectrum of colors on my face complete...
