wild about seminars

Recently, i have been thinking, why should we teachers have a lot of new seminars when the actual thing is that it is just a reformed curriculum in the past. Here in the Philippines, when you say seminar, it means that a new task is being given to teachers. How sad our life is. We are doing lesson planning everyday, thinks for short evaluation everyday, designs long examinations, check them later on, computes grades, design classroom interiors, creates intervention materials, and alot more. What happens to our private life? God, does this government doesn't know how difficult it is to think for a high level question that students simply could not answer? And that when these students failed, it was also a teacher's failure? How cruel....students nowadays never minds assignments, projects, exams, quizzes etc... They never mind whether they pass or fail. If they pass, then good for them but if they fail, take it all over again. They never really mind.

wild about halloween

It was the time of the year where everyone is saying a little prayer for those who have parted with us. We consider them saints and upthere in the heavens visiting the mansions built for them. But this is not only for them, it is for all who have died and have their souls departed from their flesh. They who have been in this world and not yet recognized how sad their fate was. We should say a little prayer for them too.

In more than 30 years of life here on earth, i now consider belief to be the only thing that makes the world go round. those who really believes in something find their refuge on that something. They also find evidences that makes them believe more. Those who wanted to be rich needs to believe in themselves that they are rich else they'll not make it. Those who believe find what they are searching for. As quoted, "if you have belief the size of a mustard seed, this mountain will be moved into the sea."

wild about art


I've been looking through the galleries in the museum and found almost all forms of art, in paint, watercolors, sculpture, and abstract forms. God, almost everything is called art, even junkies. I don't know why they call it art when all you can see are bunches of garbage. But there isone thing that made me really take a look the second time around and its not on the museums, it is on the net. You'll find a lot of other artist in their own developed mediums. I like, in particular the works of Scott Wade in his dirty car art. He published his art through the rear window of his car full of dust. Look at albert einstein's portrait. Isn't it a wonder? Einstein in your backseat??? For those of you who wanted to see more, visit
  • car dust art
  • and enjoy his galleries of car dust paintings.

    A Sad Life...

    Teaching is a noble profession, that is what they say. Well,I think its true for some and false to many who hopes to find a better life. Here in Asia, a teacher is always a teacher, students will always look up to you to seek help, guidance or just a plain "hello..., how are you?...." I think it has done so many good things to me as someone respected and obeyed. Someone with thoughts provoking changes and courage. But what will i become after this? Will be great? Will I be better than others? Will be rich?

    Yesterday, I came to a funeral of a late friend and teacher. She died of kidney failure. She was a widow without a son or a daughter. It is sad that I saw how she suffered and yet, noone is truely there to care for her. Her nephew whom she was with through these years vanishes himself in times he was needed most. I don't want to be like this. She had spent all her years teaching, retiring last year only to find out that she has a year to live in sufferings and pain. So sad, yet, this is better. A retirement that would relieve her pains....

    wild about games...

    personally, i found that it very enjoyable to find someone else and challenge him to death on a computer game... though, in reality, it never could happen. I like sports a lot, like basketball, different races, bowling, ping pong, badminton and volleyball. These are the sports i grew up with in my generation here in asia. I play these games when i was still a lot younger. Unfortunately, it was no the case anymore. I can only look and criticize, it wasn't my field anymore and years without practice makes me a dumb player. Good thing there is computer. With a lot of new computer game programs that are so realistic in graphics, i could still find my self playing that game i like most without the sweat!

    3 decades of no return

    today, i lived for three decades. I've lived with a lot of love, a lot of decision, a lot of pressure and a lot of changes. Never had i imagined that this is life, that it is whatever you choose it will be. All is yours and none is responsible for it but you alone. As i go back to my footsteps in the sand of destiny, i have seen so many people walking with me, in joys and in pain, in triumph and in loosing. I have seen a lot of people who truely loved the person in me though i don't recognize it at once. I have seen and observed them all after a while and i am very thankful for having people like them all the time. To all of you, thank you very much!.

    Wild About Computers

    I have been, for the last 6 years of my life a computer enthusiast, mostly, love to play games. It was one of my window to escape from reality. I get new friends chatting the whole day, meet new acquaintances with on-line games and more. I am, mostly, well verse with personal computers running windows or linux. I am actually new to linux but i enjoy hanging with it and tweaking it. I can say that my ability with computers has increased in recent years esp now that i am teaching the subject. I am advance user with knowledge on macros and a bit of programming, but i still needs a lot to learn. I like exploring new possibilities with pc's that's why im into linux now. I am trying to learn how to deal with it and make it useful for me for im a windows user before.

    wild about rides....


    Never had i been to a place where i haven't been taken by a vehicle. My shoes, or my bike, they are my only rides. They take me to places where life is. They took me to school where i learn the basics of survival. My bike took me to a mountain where i have seen my destiny and my future. My sandals took me to where my beloved is. My rides had taken me to adventures rough and smooth, for me to learn and understand that life is just a ride where you have to enjoy and not to bore.

    my son

    This is my one and only son who have manage to change my life completely. He has been my life eversince i learned that my fiance was pregnant, the major deciding factor why i have been married. Many of us, especially the bachelors go easy on responsibilities, just like i do. But when i learned that the boy was being conceived, i never doubted with my decision. He has to be with me for him and I was one. Its just like no other thing i have experienced. He came into being December 18, 2004 and i am so proud of how he had grown, groomed to be like me someday, only better. I have a lot of dreams, a lot of hopes and plans i want him to accomplish but it will always be his ways not mine. Whatever he chooses someday, i'll be glad to recognize it and support him with every endeavor he wanted. This, blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh will the future of my descendants holds....

    First of All

    All things, great or small, fat or thin and anything in between has a beginning. Like a point that starts a line, a line that creates a character, characters that combines to form a sentence and eventually create a paragraph where my story will be untold. Like how our universe came to be, in chaos and continuous change, arrived at a present piece of heaven with all of its small pieces in order, so was my blog to be has an order. This is the simple beginning of my thoughts to share, questions to ponder and pictures to roam the cyberspace. I hope that you will enjoy reading what my mind is capable of thinking.
