Student-teacher

My own teaching experience.

I spent my last 3 weeks as a teacher. Who would have thought that I would go this far? Neither do I.

I shared my first teaching experience with a class of 4th year students. I taught Trigonometry to 4-Respect.

At first I didn't know what to do because it's obviously my first time. Come to think that I'll be handling 49 4th year students. Take note, 4th year students!

It really was a big challenge for me. But with God's help, I was able to surpass it peacefully.

And today, I had my last day with my 4th year students.

And I never thought that I'd miss them. Awwww.

My dear 4Respect, you're noise is uncontrollable.
You always complain about our performance task.
You always bargain to move the submission date.
You always ask permission to go the comfort room.
You always have a number of absentees.
You always have a messy classroom.
But whatever it is that you always do, I love you guys.
You gave me a worth-remembering first teaching experience.
And I'm glad I had to share it with you my dear 4Respect.

I learned to love my class just within the span of 3 weeks. They may had given me a hard time but they were short notice only. They were just minor cases and not a huge pain really.

I'll never, ever, ever, ever forget this wonderful experience and the lesson I learned from it. And there's a ton of things I learned about being a teacher. Especially that feeling when you learned that classes were suspended because of typhoon and you were disappointed because you were supposed to have a discussion on that day and that you will be delayed already. Yah, been there.

From what I know of, I had fun teaching. :)




I will miss you 4R! With all my power, I am hoping to be your teacher again. At least for another 3 weeks of 4th quarter maybe. Thank you very much! You taught me a lot! I hope you learned something from me. Always remember, BE QUIET! Haha. I love you 4Respect! <3

Skins second generation

I've never loved watching series. Until I learned about Skins.

To cut it short, I got addicted to UK's series Skins. In less than a month I was able to finish 4 seasons which is equal to 38 episodes.

I started loving Skins since season 1 episode 1. Got to know the cast and learned to love them in their own ways. I love Sid and Cassie, forever. Did a blog post about it here. Season 2, same cast. Love it! It's all right here too!

I was so hype to see seasons 3 and 4 but too sad to leave seasons 1 and 2 because I already learned to love the first generation cast. Seasons 3 and 4 is composed of another cast, the second generation.

Today, I was able to finish season 4! Just like the first generation, someone died in the second generation but I won't spill out who. You've got to see it for yourself. :p

I have to agree with what most "Skins watchers" say that the first generation is better than the second generation. I second the motion. Nothing beats Tony-Sid-Michelle-Cassie-Jal-Chris-Anwar-Maxxie generation. But second generation's cool too. Way to go Effy-Freddie-Cook-Emily-Naomi-Katie-JJ-Thomas-Panda generation.

Don't have to compare the two generations though. They are different and special in their own way.

I've got one last season of Skins to see before I'm all done. Season 5 is another generation. Whew. New cast. Can't wait.

Half-excited yet half-disappointed. Excited coz I've to face new characters and personalities again. Disappointed coz once I'm done with season 5, no more Skins for me coz I've seen them all. Haaay.

I might just re-watch them all again when I get to the point of boredom. Haha!

Arayt. 2 thumps up for Skins!



Skins season 5, surprise me. :)

Thomasian welcome swim

The supposed to be Thomasian Welcome Walk becomes the current trend Thomasian welcome swim.

Dear Falcon, you are the only reason why the Thomasian Welcome Walk was postponed.

Instead of the usual walking and cheering, we, Educ students, just spent the whole rainy afternoon at the Albertus Magnus building doing random stuff.

Just like...










Plus this video. Brought to you by your BORED-MATH-TEACHERS. Hahahaha. =)))


Please wait for further announcements on when to resume the said walk.

Outside vs Inside



This is truly an inspiring picture. It only goes to show that no one should be deceived in what they can only see by their naked eyes.

No matter how someone looks in the outside it doesn't show what he really is in the inside.

You only see what you want to see and not what you should see.

No matter what you look in the outside, it's about what's in the inside that counts.
