A Teacher Must Read Books: Benefits of Reading

Image
I want to start and develop my habit in reading. I want to develop it back again (honestly). I can't remember the time the last time I read a book. I didn't say I don't read books in school- of course I study my lesson, but what I am talking about is "reading" as a form of hobby or passion not a forced action. Definitely reading was just an obligation for me to be prepared, but enhancing my reading hobby to widen my knowledge, well that's what I want develop. Actually there are many benefits when you read. First is to be knowledgeable. Thousand of information can be stored up in our brain- how you're going to do it? Read. Another is to improve my English. I'm a Filipino and I speak the Filipino language or our native tongue. I can only be exposed to the English language when I read books, watch English movies or listen to the music. So, I better to be a better speaker and a writer. Last thing is that, I can go anywhere. Yes, reading can transport you i...

A Sweet Harmony from the Past

I think everyone, mostly the young people, were very attracted to learn different kinds of modern musical instruments. It is very cool and very pleasing if someone can play a musical instrument like guitar, drums and piano. Due to the fast track of change, people already forgotten some of the native instruments that could really produce a a great harmony. Some don't even know about mandolin, gong, flute, xylophones and etc. These are what we called traditional, but when it plays, truly magical.  Music is not just limited to 3 to 4 musical instruments. There are thousands or millions of instruments that remains unnoticed.I think it's a start to revive the heart of the people to love other traditional musical instrument. Try to check out some of it online and here's the link to purchase it with   Free Shipping . Our celebration in "National Language" really open up my mind to embrace the beauty of folk music, traditional music as well as the musical...

Buwan ng Wika- A National Language Month Celebration

Image
Here we  go. Everyone are busy preparing for the "Buwan ng Wika" celebration. This is an annual event in the Philippines, where all schools all over the Philippines celebrate the whole month of August. This is an annual event where students as well as the teachers were dressed in national costumes, tribal and other folk clothes. There is a contest in folk dances, folk song, cooking contest (native delicacies), "larong lahi" (Filipino native games), "Lakambini at Lakandula" (Filipino style beauty contest for men and women and many more. This kind of event preserves the Filipino culture, heritage, values, customs and tradition. For me this is a very important event because this will help open up to the minds of the young children to embrace the Filipino values and develop the love for their country. Enjoy. Have a happy weekend. God bless.  

The Class of Dreamers and Achievers

Image
I missed my life as a student. I graduated last 2010 and I miss the feeling when it's the first day of a class. My news feed in Facebook is flooded with a "back to school" status and it's kinda annoying but those status simply reminds me of how it feels when another school year is approaching. That weird feeling of mine just rekindled in my heart. Truly "those are the days" that will truly be engraved in my heart-happy, sad, exciting and pressured moments. If only, we could record all the great memories into a video. Or we could simply put this inside our class ring. Rings are symbolic too. My sister and I are planning to have a class ring- just to remind our "student life" days. Make your high school and college memories last forever. Check out for these amazing class ring.It will surely remind us that we are once part of a class of dreamers and achievers. "Class may be over, but memories will be forever". my sister and I were looking f...

How to Get Comforable Sleep During Camp?

Image
Hi friends, summer is here! When we say summer, it is always associated with the word camp.I am very much excited for our summer youth camp. But, let me share to you my experience of our so-called "mini camp" with my cousins. We had a mini camp and sleepover with my cousins at our rest house. We cooked our food using wood and we had enjoyable activities. We had a lot of fun games and we did a lot of crazy things. That was really fun and I'm looking forward for more of it this summer. One thing about camp that you should take note is that you should take your best foam mattress with you. I am not a picky person, but I always make sure that I got a comfortable sleep during the camp. Camp is a fun and active activities, so make sure you have enough sleep to energize for the rest of the day. Based on my experience, camp sites are different to your home. It is no longer your own room or even your not allowed to bring your bed with you. Foam mattress is the best solution. It...

Weekdays Summer Getaways

Hi guys,I got this wonderful photographs from my weekday-getaway. Due to my job, I usually unwind and relax every weekend. But I'm glad that I got the chance to do some fun activities with my cousins and my churchmate. In morning, I decided to help my churchmate to shoot the video for our upcoming camp. It is a montage video- sort of invitational video. I thank God for the production team who really did well in the shooting. Truly I had fun doing the video shoot. Though the weather is not good that day, but at least it didn't get worse. The video shoot is a success and I had fun!      After we took the video shoot in the morning, then I headed to Abuno, Iligan City. It is 45 mins travel away from the city. This time I'm with my cousins. We spent our overnight so-called "camping" at out resthouse. It's not that very big, but the place is very relaxing and peaceful. In that place, I was reminded the basic way of life- the simplicity of life. In that place I am a...
