Letter to you

Dear ****,              I first heard the movie Divergent when we watched Starting over again. I am happy that we happened to watch the movie because I thought it is just a another superhero film. It is not the most original plot but I found it more watchable than the Hunger Games, while the hunger games have more depth, this was more fun.                                    I found Tris(dunno the real name) likable and pretty than Jennifer lawrence though I also like Jen too. haha. I also like the love story more kasi ang gwapo nung Four(haha). I searched in the google the different faction system in divergent. they are Amity = Hippies, Dauntless = Jocks with ADHD, Erudite = Nerds, Candor = People Running for Student Council, Abegnation = The quiet majority. Its like observing students in APC with different factions and personalities. But seriously...
Finally, decided to write something today. A lot of things happened to me for the past months. I am so bless that I got a new job on teaching. This is what I believe the start of my career as academe, a teacher and a mentor. I teach in a caregiver's school and this is what I believe a stepping stone for me. I had an idea on applying for a job in caregiver school through the idea of my professor, Mam Yang. I applied and submitted a lot of resume in different schools and I am so happy that the timing is just right on. I just finished my semester in my school in FEU and summer break has just began and luckily I was called for an interview. They gave a topic for a teaching demo and I passed it. The following day, I was asked for an interview with the owner of the company. I was amazed that the interview with the owner was not exactly what I've expected. She interviewed me for an hour which is very unusual. Maybe, this is the way for her to assess me not only my abilities but also m...

Letter to a friend

Dear ****, I will always say this to you. You inspire me and you make people happy just because of your charm that I know you already know (naks). But deep inside you, you are just a man with feelings and emotions. Life is just full of trials and obstacles. We are vulnerable and  sometimes we fall apart and we want to escape from reality. But for us to move on with our  lives, we need to face the situation and make a solution. In any problem there is a solution that  we need to make. We(I) may not know your problem (in details because you told us that your ok last night) but life should always be an adventure, if not, then it is nonsense. Life rewarded  courage. Always take a chance on someone, if you love her then pursue her if not always  remember that there is a rainbow after the rain. Someday, youll meet your other half and you'l  realize that it is the fruit of all your decisions in life. But if you dont do anything, you cannot und...

Birthday!

Today is my birthday. Yes!, I was born February 6, 1986. It means that I am 27 years old. But one thing I know, life is great at any age. I must admit that I feel what other people also feel when birthdays come in, the 'birthday anxiety attack'. I never felt this before because I always celebrate it with my friends and family and always busy preparing for party. But this year, I chose to celebrate it by preparing an intimate dinner with my family. Probably because I am jobless at this moment so I don't want to spend a lot even my parents insisted me to invite my friends. This is also good opportunity for me to just be with them and feel their presence on my birthday. After all, I was born because of them and I love them so much.  Another reason is a lot of things happened last year that I felt like I have nothing to celebrate about. So I am looking for another year of blessings and miracles so that I can celebrate it next year. Being single sucks!. I didn't receive spec...

Philosophy of Teaching and Learning

Philosophy of Teaching and Learning Introduction What is the significance of teaching? How can we learn best from our teachers? Do students have a responsibility inside the classroom or is it merely the teacher who is in charge of everything? Here I will outline my personal perspective in teaching and my perception about my teachers in the past and how they mold me as a person and as a nurse and become useful to me right now. I will talk about the important values and characteristics a teacher must have and how it can change a life of a student. Teaching started from the time we enter in this world when our mother teach us how to properly suck in their breast, teach us how to lace our shoes, how to wash our butt in the toilet and so on. Our brain has a significant role in acquiring this knowledge. Studies show that person vary whether left or a right person. Left person develops dominance toward one side of the brain and have a certain characteristics like they are said to be l...

Gifted Hands

Image
You can do anything you want to do, just believe in yourself and the power of prayer. That is one of the lesson that I learned from on of my favorite of all time "The Gifted Hands by Ben Carlson". This is an inspiring movie about a Neurosurgeon who was a dumb student when he was young and taught by her mother to believe in himself that he can be smart by reading and studying very well. I don't want to write about the plot but instead, I would just enumerate some of the lessons I've learned from watching this movie. The first lesson is the respect he had to his mother as well as the unconditional love of his mother to Ben and his brother. They were only 3 in the family because their father left them for another woman and so the mother raised her children alone. She secretly worked as a cleaner to provide for her family and her dreams for them is so powerful that she did everything to send them to a very good school just like my mom. When we transferred here in Manil...

Meaning of my name

What Jared Means You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it togethe...
