To Our Mom

You filled our days with rainbow lights,
Stories filled with lessons every night,
A kiss to wipe away our tears,
Sweet lullaby to ease our fears,
You give the gift of life to us,
And then in love, you set us free,
We thank you for your tender care.
For deep warm hugs and being there,
We hope that when you think of us,
A part of you, you'll always see.

We have our 5 major subject this semester and I feel now the pressure of it. As our former Professors told us before, that being an English major is not that quite easy. According to them, English is the most difficult subject to teach. At present, we have this Professor who told us that English subject was quite boring to teach.

But I did not take their statements seriously which might get me to back out with this field i had chosen. Instead, I take it as an inspiration to persevere more and be more motivated to learn, so that i would be an effective teacher someday.

For now, I am just taking those challenges as an inspiration and strength as well to be more focused on my studies and to attained my goals in life.

I find it good to be part of Ma'am Judith's class. Everybody was participating during the discussion. Before the discussion starts, Ma'am Judith states first her objectives which needed to be attained after the class discussion. I admired her also for supporting her students with its problems regarding the topics assigned to discussed. She also help the discussants during the discussion and she really did her best just to clear everything in the lesson.
Ma'am Judith is really an extraordinary teacher! She is really doing her best just to help us in our undertakings. i really admired her!

God's Love

As I have read the last judgment by karel capek I’ve learned that you would escaped from the judgment of men but not with God , because He knows everything in us even a small detail of our life ,so we cannot hide from Him. God’s judgment has a vast difference with the men, with men there would always be a biased wherein even you really commit the sin there always be a way of escaping from it and another irony is that even you are innocent if you could not defend yourself you will suffer the punishment. Another one men seems to be judgmental that they could not see their own stain. But with God, even He was a powerful God, and created everything here on earth but He still a Loving God who always forgive us in our mistakes. His love is infinite and cannot be measured by any means.

Limitations

Thinking of you is just a big mistake

But if this big mistake could be love

Then it's better to forget this feeling i have

Why do i need to be like this?

Like a star that shine forever

Or like a bird that surrender?

Hiding this feeling is not easy

Co'z everytime I remember

The yesterday that flutter

Keeps my mind in sanity

Though it's the big reality

Still, this is a tragedy!

English subject

In our first semester ,we have our 5 major subjects in English and 2 in Education .Since I'm afraid of Math I thought choosing English as my major field would give me the reason to escape that subject. But I was wrong ,because one of our Education subject,the Educ.9 is more on computation, since its course description is about assessment of learning.So ,we will be obliged to have a computation.What I have learned is that when you always escape on one thing its just will be the way of leading to it.

BUSTLE DAY

BUSTLE DAY
One of the most elegant occasions that celebrated every year in IDE is the Acquaintance Party. It is the time in which we welcome and we bond our younger brothers and sisters to our institution. Furthermore, it is also the time that we make ourselves enjoy, relax and stress-free even for just one night.
Some of the students when there is a party like this, they become busy. Some are budgeting their money to buy new clothes that they are going to wear, paying their contributions for the said party and some are just getting in a hurry when it is already time. The officers are fully occupied, too. They make several communication letters, communicate/ negotiate to other persons involved in the said occasion and other more.
An hour before the party starts, I've witnessed how responsible the IDE students were on their respective tasks. They just started to clean and prepare the hall at almost 6:00 in the evening because there was another department/ institute that used the venue before us. The BEEd was assigned in stage decoration. The officers prepared the tables and chairs. Non-officers also shared their time in the preparation.
After all, the party ended in a peaceful, triumphant, pleasant and satisfactory night to all the students.

gas lamp

Assignment

Its about 9’oclock in the evening while I’m doing my assignment in English 106,when suddenly a drop of rain fell on my paper .I don’t know what I’m going to react since I'm already tired and sleepy., But I just found myself bursting into laughter, get the pale and put into it. Here’s another chapter of my life, having a rain for me it’s already an ordinary scenario since our house is just made with nipa, plus the fact that the lamp was going to be out. It’s always been a story where I used to, there were a time that we are having quarrel with my siblings who will use the lamp especially when I have a lot of things to do. I also find it difficult when I’m about to pass my requirements, making my reports, assignments and studying my lessons. But I just bear in my that for whatever hardships I would encountered I need to be happy that I have always gained learning from all of these experiences. For whatever I would encounter in my way I must think it in a positive way.

IDOLATRY: ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?!

IDOLATRY: ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?!

Last Sunday,I went to church to attend the weekly mass. When I came there, the seats were occupied and the priest started his homily. I came late that's why I have to attend the next mass to be able to listen the first part of it. As I was sitting in a vacant pew and waiting for the second mass, I was strucked by some observations from different people.

We all know that Christianity was brought by the Spaniards to the Philippines. That is one of the remarkable characteristics of the Filipinos- being religious. We worship the lives of the saints and through this, we didn't noticed that we already violating the prescribed law written in the Bible.
Some people were kissing and wiping their handkerchiefs to the replicas ( wood carved) of the saints and the worst, some parents were allowing their child to kiss the said wood carved saint.

In my opinion in the case of the child, instead of the child gets well, the child may possibly acquire dirt from the wood carved saints and may lead to become ill or sick. Let us not worship the man-made wood carved saints instead, let's honor the saints of their replica of their identity and for their individual right doings they had done before. Finally, we can be a good Christian by having faith in God and do what He wants us to do.

As one of the BSE 3A students, I feel so blessed because I have classmates who were friendly. It was not so difficult for me to adjust with them. Sometimes there are problems but we always work together just to solve it. By having unity and cooperation , nothing is impossible.

I am happy for my accomplishment.
I'm already through in reading the novel which i am going to use in my book report in this subject.
The novel was written by Robert B. Parker and it was entitled Stardust.
The story was very exciting.
It was about the popular TV star in US (Boston in particular)who was harassed by unknown. And a private detective appeared to help and protect her from that someone who is harassing her.
'Til here..=)

MY ENGLISH MENTORS

Some people might think that English language is merely hard to understand. As a student and a major of this area, the first thing that comes into my mind is that it is difficult; especially that I have a weak foundation during my high school days. That time, I’ve experienced a teacher who sometimes late and worst, being absent in the class.

As I’ve seen English nowadays, majority of the people in the world have the potentials to communicate using this language. Everyone is required knowing English because of the trend and it can be used in our daily life. It makes someone very competitive and easily get a job when we know how to use it or if we are English proficient.

I am really inspired that my teachers nowadays are diligent and punctual in their profession unlike before. One thing that I’ve usually hear and remember to some of my teachers that if the teacher can’t give us everything that we have to learn, we have now to fill the gaps of them. I’m so much thankful that these teachers altogether teaching in our class this semester. The best teachers in CSSAC namely Ma’am Fajardo, Salamat, Taumatorgo, Francisco, Sir Margate and Ma’am Miraña. These teachers would serve as my inspirations and models in my future teaching career. I just hope and pray that all my weaknesses that I’m facing right now would turn as a challenges and become my strengths.

If Only. . .

In life we should always think of what we can do not only for ourselves but also for the sake of others. We should not put other's lives into risk because of our own ambitions in life. IF ONLY everyone of us has this kind of mentality...........there will be no poverty.

Englishian 2dent

Some people think that if your an english major student,you are good in speaking in english. Expectations that I think is unhealthy in the side of an englishian(an english major student) like me. Because if you are an englishian it doesn't necessarily mean that you can accurately speak in english. In my side, I took up this subject to improve my skill in speaking the language. And I will exert more effort just to learn more about this field.

Jeckie

Being an English major,the pressure i felt everyday was not able lessen..
Each day i felt the expectations from our Professors which we need to attain..
The needs of our future students which we have to fill in..
Today,there are things to be done at a given time..
We have to consume our time wisely and do not waste any second of it..
For we are in the middle of our way to realize our goals and our dreams as well..
Its not easy for us to be in this kind of situation..
But as a future teachers,we have to train ourselves to always read and make our own point of views to teach effectively..
I know we can attain those expectations from us..
With God's guidance!

a thousand and one nights

I'd like to share what i have read from this story. This story tells about King Shahriyar whose wife's betrayal has filled him with hatred for all women. Every night, motivated by vengeance and fear, he marries a different woman only to put her to death the following morning. Finally a young woman named Scheherazade devises a scheme to stop the bloodshed. She weds the King, and on the first night of their marriage, she tells him a spellbinding story. At day break, she has not yet finished. As the executioners await their orders, Scheherazade promises Shahriyar that she will finish the story that evening. Captivated by the tale, Shahriyar stays the order of execution. That night,Scheherazade finishes the first story but immediately starts another that is just as exciting as the first. In this way she enthralls the King and prolongs her life for a thousand and one nights. By the time she has finished telling her final story, almost three years have passed. King Shariyar, now in love with Scheherazade, decides not to kill her.

...this story is really amazing..but i am wondering what does the stories told by Scheherazade to Shahriyar...=)
