A LETTER OF A TEENAGE FILIPINO TO THE WHOLE WORLD

As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.

Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were [...]

Subject Matter: The Teacher’s Alibis

Ruthi — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:54:09 +0000

Once a teacher… always a teacher. I believe in that.

Though I am not in the teaching profession right now and doing everything to avoid teaching… I can feel deep in my heart that one day I will be back in the classroom. And even if I had tons of alibis to [...]

Subject Matter: Responsibility

I had a busy weekend. I had to attend a whole day training last Saturday as required by the State for Child Care licensing. It was a very enlightening and productive training except for the crappy weather. And one of the things that really struck me was the topic on the “responsibility” of [...]

Subject Matter: Sentiments

Having been out of work for almost a year now gives me the stress I have never experienced when I was still working. Strange but true. Work is one of the reasons why people are stressed out. But I have never realized that being at home and not working is more stressful [...]

Subject Matter: Rules

just had a thought of you.. Before, I was asking myself even other people why you hated me, why you were so mean to me. Then as time goes by and as I’m growing older, I realized that I was stubborn, and blinded to see what’s your real intention. I realized you didn’t [...]

Subject Matter: Preparedness

Be prepared! There will be a test tomorrow.

As a student, once the teacher said that… I would instantaneously succumb to a mild to serious panic attack depending on what kind of test the teacher was talking about. I hate test! Who doesn’t? Tests or exams have a negative implication regardless of [...]

Subject Matter: Vacation

Ruthi — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:27:04 +0000

WHEN I WAS A STUDENT… vacation time was my favorite subject aside from “recess”. Whose kid doesn’t like vacation and recess, anyway? It is the best idea that school had every come up with.

Vacation means… you don’t have to wake up early and hit the shower so you won’t be late [...]

Subject Matter: Parenting

“He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” (Matthew 17:5)

The place was in chaos as expected. It was one of those commencement exercises that came to an [...]

Subject Matter: Decision Making

Ruthi — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 23:27:05 +0000

I wrote up 3 kids the other day for playing.

It’s was just another ordinary Friday afternoon and as expected I was multi-tasking – watching several kids doing beads bracelets at the “Crank it Up” station… doing the summary report of students’ attendance… computing the kids “steps” for the AOM program… writing [...]
