the prayer

It pierced my heart to see and hear the stories of our fellow Filipinos who were victims of typhoon Ondoy. I wish to express my sympathy along with this song and prayer...

I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don�t know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we�ll be safe
La luce che to dai

I pray we�ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L�eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c�e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we�ll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E�il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we�ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

it's the climb..

there's this line from a song that inspires me each time i falter..

"Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb"

ang OA ko ano?hehe!sensya na -tao- lang!:D

first love never dies?

it's been three years since we last heard from each other.three years since we left off where we started. three years of silence.

from that year on, i have remained single. not that i have not moved on. not that it brought me traumas. it's just that no one has come my way to help me forget what it was to be in pain from falling out of love and help me keep believing that love is still coming my way.

i am now OK. God knows I am very much OK. but why is it that as soon as I see his being visible again, I feel my heart throbbing with such friction? i know it's not the feeling i used to feel from him but it's the thought of knowing how it's like to hear from each other again from a broken relationship that had no closure.

while i have not found yet the one for me, i know he still has a place in my heart...BUT ours has long been gone and over. he must have been happily married now.

no...this is not first love that never dies.

pandemic H1N1's ill-effect

It's been almost two weeks since classes are suspended in our school since the H1N1 virus hit our school where there are now seven confirmed cases positive to have gotten the virus. It does not only affect the health of both the educators and the learners but their learning itself. I can only continue hoping that this would be over soon and everything will go back to normal.

So help us God.

Fear not...

I am at a point of no return...as a song goes. This is the moment when I have to even more gather all my strength to do the tasks and responsibilities at hand. A time to rekindle things, grow even more as a matured individual and to be positive. I am a person too full of inhibitions in terms of dealing with decision-making. But this time, I have to screw my courage to a sticking place, as what Shakespeare said. So help me God.

good but difficult..

"Whatever is good to know is difficult to learn."
---Greek Proverb

where learners and educators fail...

i am disappointed to hear about the anomalies going on in some public schools narrated to me by a co-teacher, where even the public school teachers have to manipulate the grades of the students especially those who failed in their subjects and have them passed. and that instead of thinking remedies for the students' very low academic performances, they opted to let things get by and plainly pass the students and proceed to the next year level.

how can we achieve quality education for the learners if even educators themselves do not practice the right attitude at work? look at how many graduates do we have now but still they're very poor in the English grammar? and that even the use of the very basic subject-verb agreement cannot be followed.

i understand that we are not an English speaking country, but looking at things in real perspective, even a job application requires every applicants to speak in English.

letting things pass by in the part of our educators makes our educational system even slopes down. i hope our DepEd will work on this dilemma. after all, we're teaching our learners the value of honesty, we too as educators must start that within ourselves.
