Everytime I go HOME

Every time i would go for a vacation, i would always go through a lot of process. It would usually take around six hours before i would finally arrive at our house.


From Canlubang to NAIA airport - From Mactan International Airport to the house and vise versa. of course, money is a problem but the important thing is i would be able to see my parents and my grandmother and nothing could stop me from going back home.

SEMS vs THE WORLD

Last August 15, 2009 was the anticipated mass for the feast of the ASSUMPTIONS. the whole EPC had a mass and after the mass was the opening of the intramurals as an institution.


After the opening, there was an exhibition game, the seminarians against the different football players in the campus. we were hoping to win against them and luckily we did. We won 5 - 2. During the duration of the game, many emotions were seen and heard but we played for fun and for Mama Mary.

A Great True Friend

Prayer for a Happy Death By Former President Cory Aquino

One of my friends told me the news that the former president Corazon Aquino made a prayer for a happy death. I was so eager to see it that i got a copy and i want to share it to all:

Prayer for a happy death by former President Corazon Aquino

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You Alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore ony You.

When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
How much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love. AMEN

Is it a JOB or a VOCATION?

its been two weeks now since i started my practice teaching in Don Bosco College, in the high school department. i am bet-by-bet realizing the real job of a teacher. i can really say that becoming a teacher is not only a job but a vocation.

teaching is not easy, imagine, you are to discipline thirty six students not blood related to you and you have to control yourself not to hurt the students if they are noisy, playing or doing other things not related to your subject inside the classroom.

i can really say that, i am paying the things that i had been doing inside the classroom before when i was a student myself.

standing in front of the classroom, i can feel that some of my students look at me as if i know everything, like i am a walking encyclopedia or dictionary.

earlier, i said that teaching is not just a job but a vocation. in this job, it takes a lot of patience and understanding. each teacher will have to understand his students like what i am doing in my class.

looking at the work of a teacher on the point of view of the practice teachers like me, i can say that it is not easy to teach, discipline and form the students inside the classroom but it is consoling outside the classroom, playing with them or just be there with them in their lunch break.

i was struck by one of my students who once told me: "Sir, bat ang bait nyo sa labas pero ang sungit nyo sa loob ng classroom?" actually, it made me think.

its been a long time

its been a long since i open this blog of mine. i was not able to update this due to the hectic schedule that i have here in the seminary.

i will try my best to update this every now and then.
