on knowing..
on teaching as a profession...here goes..
Ten years had passed when I first heard a good friend affirming on the old cliche about "teaching as the noblest of all professions". I honestly did not grasp the thought that goes with it at that time. I have always believed that no profession is far greater than the other. All works require the hearts of us all. All being noble. As I hold true to what I believe, I thought I have fully understood what it means to be giving your heart in what you do. As I venture now into this new discovery about teaching as a profession, I then slowly realize that what my friend said ten years ago may have been explaining it all at present. It took me years to realize that there is more to being in the teaching career. IN teaching, one does not deal with paper works or gadgets...one deals with humans. All come from different cultures, values and attitudes. And this is happening everyday as part of a teacher's lifestyle. The greatest challenge lies on the truth that a teacher does not only hone the minds of these individuals. Teachers don't simply teach and facilitate learning--- they affect lives.
BUT the big question here, is that "how far can a teacher go?" Not all in the profession are actually happy with what they do. Some stay in the teaching career because they're already there and they're simply afraid to lose their job or income. This truth however, does not happen only to those in the teaching profession but even to all forms of professions. Sometimes, when things don't seem to fall in places at the height of our responsibility as a worker, a daughter or a son, a brother or a sister, a wife or a husband, a mother or a father and even as a friend or companion, we also come to ask ourselves "how far can I still go?".
It's been years already, since I last read Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life. Last night, as I scanned pages of it, I am once again reminded the essentials of things---and that all being performed for God through others and not for self-satisfaction.

my dream car
I remember my friend telling me once that dreaming is for free and so why limit yourself from it? But of course, you don't dream for something without working for it. One must begin with the goal in order to get what he or she really wants in life. And that goal takes a lot of the positive values that one must possess like hardwork and perseverance. You don't just wait for a wishing star to fall down from above, one starry night. We have to work in order to reach our goal.
WeIl, I have always imagined myself driving my own car. And I am always overwhelmed when I start to think of how my dream car appears to be. At times I find myself searching online while I have no ample time to look for one along downtown area. There have been many brands of cars cropping up lately. Cars that vary in styles and colors. All coming from quality products and with such touch of elegance. While I thought of some in my mind as I've seen them in magazines once, this time the search for the latest model online makes it easy. I think lexus rx 450h is very enticing. I love the color and its packaging. I also thought of a gmc acadia being the latest model and of acura mdx as my other option for a great car. Whew! I am actually having a hard time to choose. These might have been great collection of cars. The search for wiki cars might also great! If I only get the chances to avail any of these someday. Oh! How I really wish!
Going back to my goal, I know there is no such thing as too late. And one day, who knows that I too may be one of those who have the greatest collection of cars out there!:)

teach me..
Lord, I canot find the right words to begin with. I thank you so much for the blessings that come my way. I thank you for being always there even when at times I already felt like quitting. I want to be the person who stays strong because I have you.
I feel so small when I see the eyes of some people within my workplace looking at me with less regard..far from where they're at because I am just a beginner who still needs the experience to be even more efficient in my field. Help me to be humble and patient Lord when there are times I feel like an outcast..and that I don't belong there. Teach me Lord..in ways I should go so that inspite of the trials and challenges of time and circumstances...
