A Job that never Exist in my vocabulary 8 years ago!

I can’t still imagine my self being in the teaching profession for almost a year. I’ve been teaching for almost a year now but I don’t feel I’m teaching. I can’t still believe that my primary source of income is teaching. I’d never dreamed and thought to be a teacher when I was in high school, though my teacher always encourages me to be a teacher because I was one of the top students in the class that they can always depend on any time. I graduated as salutatorian that’s why they really encourage me to enroll Education and be a teacher because they believe that I can be an effective and efficient teacher in the future but I told them that I hate teaching and it’s not included in my vocabulary words. But things change!

Because my grades are quite high and I graduated salutatorian, the government granted a full scholarship in collage at the University of Baguio, Baguio City. But they gave me a condition which I didn’t expect. I can only enjoy or avail my full scholarship if and only if am going to enroll Education! Bad condition for me! When I heard about the condition they are asking, I was frustrated. It took me one month to decide before I accepted the offer. I accepted the offer because I don’t have any choice. My family is poor and they can’t afford to send me in a well known University to study. I grab the opportunity though it’s hard on my part because this is what my parents want me to do and don’t want to hurt and disappoint them. I don’t know if will works, I only know one thing on that time, my dreams where shuttered.

After five years, I finished the course. It took me five years to finish the course because of some distractions like financial problems and etc. And now, I can’t still believe I’m already a teacher and I’ve been in this profession for almost a year! The only happy ending is that I’m making some coins from teaching right now! What a job! Teaching is really the noblest profession but I don’t still love what I’m doing.

No Free Time

I wasn’t able to post anything in my blog last week because I was so busy, my schedule was o full, I don’t have any vacant time at work and my computer at home wasn’t working well. I was so preoccupied that I couldn’t even have time to open and check my blog. But this week, no matter what happen I will set aside a time for my blog.

It’s really annoying because every night before I go to bed I need to study for a while to prepare my lesson for the following day. I used to it though because I’m a teacher but things went out different when I was assigned to teach extensive grammar to my students since last, last week. Can you imagine I need to read a lot of grammar books to prepare for their possible questions when they got confused! What a work!!! It was good though because I was force to teach things well and recall the things I learned before.

You know guys! One of the greatest challenges of teaching stems from the lack of immediate, accurate feed back. The student who walks out of your classroom shaking his head and muttering under his breath about grammar may burst into class tomorrow proclaiming his triumph over English, and thanking you for the previous lesson. There is no way to predict precisely what long term results of your work will be but if you have a sense of purpose, you can cultivate expectations of success for your students. Thoughtful preparation makes good outcomes more likely than bad ones.

Denied Blog

I created a blog last February because I heard that it is fun and exiting. My co teacher’s daughter created it for me under her domain. She’s hosting a lot of blogs for almost a year right now. She told me to change my password for security purposes and I should start blogging as soon as possible. And I should visit some blogs and give a comment in order to leave a mark. “One way of increasing blog ranks is to visit other blog”, this is the thing that she told me.

As soon as I changed the password I started blogging and I visited a lot of blogs in order to invite readers and increase my page rank. I spent all my free time at the office in blogging hopping to catch some readers. I really exerted effort and invested a lot of time in blogging since February 2008. I wrote some interesting essays about my life and serious things or issues happening around the world hoping to catch the attention of blog readers. I can’t believe all my works was gone in a single minute since last week!

I felt frustrated and stress last week when my blog was suspended including the blog of my host. I called her and told her everything and she tried her best to fix it but she failed. Her blog site was suspended because she hosted a lot of blog including mine and yet her domain wasn’t aloud to host because it is just a sub domain.

She was instructed to eliminate all her sub domains if she wants to continue blogging and get back her blog site! That’s what she did though it’s hard on her part. She was really frustrated about the accident but she can’t do anything about it except to follow the rules.

When I heard the bad news, I created a new blog in order to recover from what I have lost. But whether I like it or not I need to start form the bottom again. I’m still happy though for Karen because she was able to save her blog!

Hectic Schedule!

 I didn’t intend to have a hectic schedule but it was happen though! I’m working as a full time teacher from Monday to Friday and full time student every Saturday. So Sunday should be my rest day but it’s not that simple because I need to get up at 8:00 am every Sunday in order to attend Congregation meetings from 9 am to 12 pm. And in the afternoon I need to go house to house preaching the good news about God’s kingdom to all people and after that, I conduct Bible study from 4pm to 6pm.

I enrolled my master’s degree last June 7 for self fulfillment and to lift up my educational attainment. I enrolled 12 units without thinking about it. I was surprise when I learned that I need to stay at least 13 hours in school from 8:30 am to 9 pm every Saturday. My first day in school was so terrible when I finish my class at around 9 I suffered head ache the whole night until morning. It’s good to have master’s degree but it’s really hard to earn it. But it’s fun also in way that you can socialize and have a lot of connections with different people from different jobs, agencies, and companies who happen to be you classmates.

It’s good to have a hectic schedule because you learn to manage your self and time properly to fit with you schedule and keep in touch with your activities everyday but in some other points it’s not good because you can’t have a much needed rest to recharge your energy and stamina.

Pictures at home

These are just some of the pictures that I took in my cell phone when I attended the burial of my beloved grand mother last, last month. This is also the place where I grew up since childhood. I used to run in these forest mountains when my late grandmother scolds me. I’d even climb some trees to play and relax my self. I love this place because it’s cool and still fresh. It was good though because after 10 years, some of these places are still present. I took these pictures while relaxing early in the morning. I used to meditate in this place if I’m stress.

What I Think of Dates!

In many lands dating is viewed as a means of romantic entertainment, a fun activity. Dating thus takes many forms. For some, a date is a formal structured affair like giving flowers or a lovely dinner. And for others, a date simply means spending some time together with someone you like of the opposite sex. Well, whether you call it dating, going together or just seeing each other, it usually amounts or means to the same thing.

You may feel under pressure to date. Most of your peers probably date and naturally you do not want to seem weird or different. Pressure to date may also come from well-meaning friends and relatives. For some youths the pressure comes from there own desires for warmth and affection. But a teenager should not begin dating simply because he or she feels pressured to do so! For one thing, dating is serious business it is a part of the process of selecting a marriage mate.

Today, Youths are in the vulnerable period of life the Bible calls “the bloom of youth” during this time; you may feel powerful surges of sexual desire. There is nothing wrong with this because it is a part of growing up. But therein lies a big problem with teenagers dating. Teen agers are just beginning to learn how to control their feelings, dating may simply be too much for them to handle. When one is past the bloom of youth, one can better deal with sexual impulses and even then it is not easy.

After all, during the teen years, your personality is still in a state of flux. You are discovering who you are, what you really like and what to do with your life. Someone who interests you today may very well bore you tomorrow. But when romantic feelings have been allowed to flourish, some one is bound to getlifr hurt, not surprisingly; several research studies have linked a fight with girl friend or disappointment in love as among the situations responsible for many youthful suicides.

“More harm than Good”?

 

Blood transfusion with banked human body may do more harm than good for a majority of patients, a report from Duke University Medical center in U.S.A found out that patient who used blood transfusion has higher incidences of heart attack, heart failure and even death than those who were not transfused. Why? “Because nitric oxide in red blood cells begins breaking down almost immediately after red blood cells leave the body”.

Nitric oxide is crucial to keeping blood vessels open and thus allowing red cells to ferry oxygen to the body’s tissues. “Millions of patients are apparently receiving transfusions with blood that is impaired in its ability to deliver, says one medical expert. So if you have any plans to used blood transfusion to save your life then better think twice or ells, bad things will happen to you, why not just used medical alternative than to risk your life with nothing! Don’t you know that the Bible word of God also warn humans not to used blood and keep away from it by any circumstances.

A few things about love?

Love is a romantic mysterious feeling that seizes anybody, it’s a once in a life time feeling sheer ecstasy. Love, they believe is strictly an affair of the heart, something that cannot be understood, but you can experienced it. No doubt about it, feeling in love can be a uniquely beautiful experience.

Physical appearance is the main reason and factor why we are attracted to opposite sex, but remember that outward appearances can be deceiving. The Bible says “charm may be false and prettiness may be vain”. The glittering wrappings of the gift tells you nothing of what’s inside. In fact, the most elegant wrappings may cover a useless gift. The proverbs says: “as a good nose ring in the snout of a pig, so as a woman that is pretty but turns away from sensibleness. Nose rings were popular adornment during bible times. They were exquisite, often made of solid gold. Naturally, such a ring would be the first piece of jewelry you would notice on a woman.
Appropriately, the proverb compares an outwardly beautiful woman who lacks of sensibleness to a nose ring in the snout of a pig. Beauty simply does not befit a senseless woman; it is a useless
ornament on her.

Some prominent people and writers feel that the human heart has infallible romantic judgment. Just listen to your heart, they argue and you will know when it’s real love. Thousands of couples every year marry under the illusion of being in love, only to find out that they have seriously erred.

The Role of Wisdom in Good Communication

The Bible tells Christians to be “swift about hearing” and “slow about listening.” (James 1:19) This is effective and good advice when one is dealing with children of any age. Hearing and listening is very important and effective in dealing with adolescents.

This may require great effort but you have to expand your communication skills when your children became teenagers. You have to reason with them, talk things through, and let them use their own thinking abilities to resolve matters. In short, as good parents you need to reach their heart. Listening is especially vital when there is a conflict. Resolved the conflict by sitting down with your sons or daughters and listen to them carefully. And you can see that being “swift about hearing” help you to discern a deeper issue.

Proverbs 18:13 states: “when anyone is replying to a matter before he hears it, that is foolishness on his part and humiliation.”

“Reincarnatoin”

How much difference is there between reincarnation and the hope held out in the Bible?
Reincarnation
Let me share with you an interesting comparison and answer that I have found. First, let me define reincarnation. Reincarnation is a belief that one is reborn in one or more successive existences which may be human or animal. Usually it is an intangible “soul” that is believe to be reborn in another body.
According to this belief, when a person dies, the soul will passes on to a better existence if the individual has lived a good and proper life, but possibly to existence as an animal if his record has been more bad than good. Each rebirth is believed to bring the individual back in to the same system of things where he will suffer an eventual death. The cycle of rebirth are viewed as virtually endless. Is such a future really that awaits you? Some believe that the only way of escape is by extinguishing all desire for things pleasing to the senses. To what do they escape? To what some describe as unconscious life.

Bible
According to the Bible, the “soul” is the complete person. Even though a person may have done bad things in the past if he repents and change his ways, Jehovah God will forgive him (psalm 103:12, 13). When a person dies, nothing survives. Death is like a deep dreamless sleep. There will be a resurrection of the dead. This is not a reincarnation but a bringing back to life of the same personality (Acts 24:15). For most people, the resurrection will be to life on earth. It will take place after God brings the present wicked system to its end. Sickness, suffering, even the necessity to die will become things of the past. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 21:3, 4).
