Practical Courses
I wrote about Eric Duquette in my teacher blog. I admit, I cried a bit when I watched the video. Who wouldn’t be crying, his journey has been amazing? With the kind of educational system and support (or lack of) we have in this country regarding the public school system, it is heartwarming when we read about students who excel despite the odds. In Eric Duquette’s case, he was diagnosed with autism.
I was saddened with the news last night when I learned that one institution that gives free short courses to mostly out of school youth have their budget slashed. How can this institution help the students who want to learn basic skills like bar tending, sewing clothes, care giver courses and medical transcription courses. I know more than two million students in our country take this path to enable them to land jobs that will later on, hopefully, help them go to nursing and medical assisting schools, and other institutions where they can earn higher academic achievements.
Most of them dream of going and working overseas to earn green bucks. Who else but the government should help them achieve their dreams because in the end, it is the government who will benefit from the remittances that they will send back.
Achievement Test
Narito ang aming bunso, noong kumuha ng isang pagsusulit o achievement test mula sa Department of Education o DepEd. Ito ay taunang ginaganap para sa mga batang katulad nila na nagho-homeschool.
Ngayon, sila ay makararanas na ng pagsusulit sa paaralan, paggising ng mas maaga, paggawa ng homework, pagsakay sa school service, pakikisama sa ibang batang katulad nila at pagdadala ng packed lunch kasi sila ay pumapasok sa isang paaralang “physical”.
Di na pwede sumagot ng pagsusulit na naka-pajama 😀

Ivan Dorschner of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010
I seldom watch television unless the show is newsworthy but I made an exception to watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010.
Why do I watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010? Because I have a teen-ager and I want to see how teeners her age are like when they are together. Like others who watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010, I too have my own favorites and one of them is Ivan Dorschner (Ivan Dorsner), pardon the misspelled name because some spell his name as such 😉
Mojo Jojo said Ivan is boring. I don’t think so because I find him intelligent and mature for his age. He even showed his playful side before when he used to teased other the house mates in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010. I also see that he does house chores. He tries to work hard at the tasks being given to them If there is a list of quotable quotes in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010, then I think some of Ivan’s quips should be included in it.
That he, Ivan Dorschner (Ivan Dorsner) is an eye candy is one thing for sure 😀
Someone who knows I watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010 asked me if ever I decide to vote for the Big Winner, who would it be? I said I will definitely Vote for Ivan Dorschner (Ivan Dorsner) because of the qualities I listed above. I really hope he makes it and get included in the Big Four 🙂 Read more
May Pag-asa Pa Ba?
Pag-asa. Isang katangiang positibo ang pananaw na may pag-asa, sa kabila ng mga balakid sa buhay at mga problemang tila ba sumusubok kung gaano katatag ang isang tao o ang isang bansa sa harap ng mga pagsubok.
Sabi nga sa isang Facebook page ng kandidatong aking ibinoto at pinaniwalaang makatutulong sa ating bansa, “He gave us hope but we missed the flight.”
Isa ako sa milyung-milyong Pilipinong umasa ng malinis na eleksiyon.
Isa ako sa umaasa na mas gaganda ang buhay ng pamilya ko (at ng lahat ng pamilyang Pilipino), hindi lamang dahil ako ay nagsisikap na mapabuti ito kundi dahil mayroon mga namumuno na may magandang hangarin para sa bansang ito.
Maaaring bugbog na nga ang ating bansa sa mga nananamantala ng kanyang mga yaman, natural na yaman man o inutang sa ibang bansa, ako ay may natitirang konting pag-asa sa aking puso na panghahawakan kung sakaling mananatili pa ding tila madilim ang daang tatahakin. Sabi nga ng mga matatanda, “pasasaan din at lilipas din ang unos” patungkol sa mga dagok ng buhay.
Naniniwala ka ba na may pag-asa pa para sa ating bansa?
Pag-asa na siyang dapat paniniwalaan dahil ito ang nagbibigay babala kung may bagyo o wala. Joke… 😀
