iman's fault part 2 :)

i will not falter!

yan ang sabi ng character sa dynasty warriors (english version syempre) kapag konti na lang ang buhay mo tapos nagawa mo pang maka-takas sa mga kalaban.

yan din ang aking kasalukuyang motto ko sa akin sarili.

waah! last year, before the year ended. i keep saying "excited na ako mag-next school year!" especially during the summer, i kept on dreaming about school and the different events that i will be facing. i am excited because i had the strong feeling that i will be an adviser. the fact that i will be having an art club made me even more ecstatic.

but...there is always the but. things seems to pull me down. during the first weeks, i felt that i wont be able to do things the proper way. yet now, i am able to keep myself together.

i am beginning to love my new batch of first years. i am learning to move on...finally. my long vacant hours keep me unsteady in my seat because i am excited to face them and teach. my memory is refreshed, i am reminded of what my philosophy towards my students. that is to teach and learn through love.

during this week, there are students that i was talking to and then they saw their ex-adviser and decided to say hi to him. it made me realize that there is something in the bond to an adviser that cannot be fulfilled by a simple subject teacher. because of that, i promised myself that i would take care of my advisory class very well. i would try to remind them of things so that they would act properly and i would try to make them feel that they can approach me anytime and with anything.

one thing that i did not expect this school year was seton notes. it was given to me and at first i thought this was a burden. but everyone around me thought that it was an honor, and everyone seems to say to me "naks naman sir, seton notes!" im like "uuhh...okay." ive approached all of my closest co-teachers, asking them for advices and what should i do because i feel so pressured of the things that will happen in the future being the seton notes adviser. i even thought of giving up. if it wasnt for the thought of everyone in seton notes, especially iman and anthony, i would have let go. all of them told me the same thing, do not let the eyes of others put pressure on you. do not let others dictate what you should do. ms. jo told me "God chooses people to do things because He knows that they can succeed. Although we cannot understand from our own human minds why we are put in such position, God knows that we can do the task that we have been assigned with." and ms. bevs told me as well "do not show the kids that you are being weak in this situation, you should be a model of strength for them for they will draw strength from you."
I thank God for all these people. for giving all these kind of people around me. because of them, i learned to fight.

and because of those people, i was able to spend time with the seton notes people. i was able to spend bonding time with them while we were working. sana maulit. :)

isshouni asobo?

maybe your my love

making myself satisfied from being an observer
seeing you smile and laugh from far away is enough
resigning to the idea that we can wont have contact
ever, again.
being contented with memories of you and i talking and conversing through smiles
something that will never happen again
yet i must make my self happy
contented with gazing at you
staring at you
from afar

the reason for which
people fall in love
is different from everyone, but~

MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE

first WEEK high!

after many weeks of summer excitement, it has come. the first week of classes. during summer, i have dreamt of many things that will happen in the school. goes to show that i am super duper excited for school year 2007-2008. and here's why...

advisory class!
i have my very own advisory class! my very first advisory class! and during the summer or even before last school year ended (when i felt that i would be given one), i felt excited and scared at the same time.

the club!
yehey! finally, i have a club that i like. and i will make sure that this will be fun for everyone. woohoo!

but there's a catch...

- my ccf classes have only two meeting per week. huhuhu.
- my section has 45 students in it. wah!
- and they have given SETON NOTES! goodluck!

i think, i will be more of an extra-curricular teacher than a ccf teacher.

one exciting year, here i come!!!!
