Hillsong United Concert / 5-26-08

2008-05-27T22:35:00.000-07:00

Grabe! Super saya last Monday night! All the people inside Araneta Coliseum were praising God!
The funny part is... tapos na ung concert eh di bumaba na ung Hillsong United teams sa stage...
But then, the people were shouting "One Way, One Way, One Way" (their song telling that God is the One and Only Way). To our surprise!!! Bumalik sila sa stage! hahaha! Joel Houston said that we young Filipinos are "Crazy for Jesus" (sounds Good!!!) haha! We really must be crazy for Him! So, they played their song One Way with the thousands of people praising God that very moment. After that they played their ending song (which is my favorite). The one entitled "SOLUTION"

Grabe talaga! hahaha! Lahat halos ng fave songs namin ng brother ko tnugtog nila!
Whooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaahh!

WHO SAYS CHRISTIANS CAN'T ROCK?!
Uhhh--Oooohhh!! You are SO SO SO WRONG!
--
I thank God for that wonderful experience... Sa wakas naranasan ulit namin ng music team ng church namin na nde kami ung tumutugtog at kumakanta.. =)

Wrap Up! 3rd year is almost over! =)

2008-03-04T10:28:00.000-08:00

A few more days and my 3rd year in college is done! Yipeee! Way to go!
I got so much stress this second semester @_@.
Below this are my answers to the questions posted on our site about our realizations resulted by the collaboration of our batch Centro Escolar University with University of West Georgia for technology-enhanced lesson plans and the use of technology-based material for early childhood education classroom.
Wooooo! I'm so glad I am a part of this collaboration thingy! =)
----------------------
ENJOY READING! ^_^

What stood out from the teaching experience? (positive and/or negative)

Both stood out from my teaching experience. Positive, because now I have that sense of self-approval that I can teach little children while realizing that I love them and enjoy being with them. Looking at their smiles and seeing how they learn is already a reward for me. The good thing I was able to handle not to show off was that I was a bit nervous during the process. I have been so blessed that my students participated well. On the negative side, was that before my demo started I was thinking about the things and task I am going to do that night (assignments and review for the mid-term examinations the next day) really stressed me out, however, I believe it didn’t affect my performance.

What did you like about the activity you implemented?

The things I like about the activity I implemented was the technology enhanced discussion and the activities that the children were very excited about.

What would you do differently if you are going to teach the same activity?

I will be presenting better clip-arts, animations and create interesting power point presentations. I will also think of other more interesting activities and will make my story more lively and interactive.

What did you learn about yourself -- as a teacher? as an undergraduate student?

As a teacher, I learned that teaching is not a job, it’s a passion. It is about loving the little children and wanting them to learn more about the world they are in. I also learned that classroom management is important. I should have many activities so that the children will not be bored. Another thing is teachers must show enthusiasm about teaching and learning so that they will serve as a good model about attitude towards learning.

As an undergraduate student, I learned that if I drop those non-urgent and unimportant tasks I will be able to use my time in more important matters that will help me to enhance my skills and knowledge that is useful for my future career. Another one is when I am tasked to do things, I must look at it positively and not to complain about the huge tasks because it will be a great learning experience for me and I will surely benefit from it.

What did you learn about teaching in a pre-K classroom?

I learned that children love stories, singing, surprises and of course doing lots and lots of different activities. Therefore we must not limit them to just using crayons and pencils. Children are entirely different from each other. They have their own interests and needs and we must know how to supply and respond to it. I also learned that I must know many things about good classroom management and how to implement it. If the little children feel you love them, they will love you too.

What advice would you give to future students who will be taking this course?

Use technology to its maximum. Don’t be afraid to explore the computer and other technology materials because it will help you in the teaching process. Remember, we may encounter technical difficulties, so you must have an alternative plan ready when things go wrong. Always keep in mind that the teacher is the most effective visual-aid ever. ^_^ Last but not the least is don’t forget that teaching is a work of the heart.

Worried about your looks?

2008-02-28T03:14:00.000-08:00

What is self image?
It is one's mental concept of oneself or one's position in relation to others; how one sees oneself.
----
Who's right about you?
Are you the way your friends see you? Your parents or teachers?
Or is everybody wrong? If your still growing up and maturing, does anybody know the true you?

How can you build a positive self image? Remember God made you the way you are.
And God doesn't make a junk.
Don't you spend time concentrating on what you think are your bad points.
Work on your good ones. Build on your strengths, and stop focusing on your weaknesses.
Most important-make good decisions.
Stick to what you know is right, and you'll have a great reason to feel good about yourself.

Still worried about your looks? Remember they're temporary. They'll change.
So we must fix our eyes not on what is seen, but for what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Remember:
- Physical beauty is fleeting, but the beauty of the heart and soul is eternal.
- Wag mo ipagyabang na maganda o gwapo ka dahil isang buhos lng nang acido wala na yan.
- Pagtanda mo puputi rin buhok mo, kukulubot din balat mo at balang araw mamamatay ka rin.

A Thought: Dont Ever...

2008-02-27T09:16:00.000-08:00

I don't rush things... Things that are half-hazard done.
Wen I want something, i want it best so... I'm gonna wait for it.
Don't ever get into a relationship just for the sake of having one.
The best will not come if u just always look for an alternative. ^^

SOTR EB at Quezon City...

2008-02-25T02:41:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday ate Nicole and Jaehn!

Last saturday, it was my first time to attend an EB of Sustainer of the Realm.
Haha, I met and saw people that I usually only see in the game realm of Ragnarok Online.
I also saw my other ex-guildmates in Apocalypse and Hyksos.
I am so happy that we have that bonding moment even if it is just for a while because Ancient Angel (Rizza) and I just passed by to give our gift cake to ate Nicole.
Hahaha! Thanks for making me feel welcome in the SOTR family! *kisses*

Happy Heart's Day

2008-02-18T05:49:00.000-08:00

Tatlong araw na ang nakakalipas magmula noong araw ng mga puso. Ang masasabi ko lang sobrang saya noong araw na yon. Kasama ko ang lima sa aking mga kaibigan. Nanood kami nang sine, ang pinanood namin ay ang "My Bestfriends Girlfriend". Pagkatapos noon, ay kumain kami. Sobrang saya ng bonding at kwentuhan. Kahit wala kaming mga "special someone", alam nmn namin sa aming sarili na meron kaming mga kaibigan laging masasandalan sa lahat ng oras.

(Tagalog Yan! Haha! /nosebleed ako)

Unwind~

2008-01-26T23:56:00.000-08:00

It's time to unwind, escape all school-related works and activities.

Time to refresh and spend time with my friends and family.
I left home at around quarter to 12nn to meet my friends at Gilmore.
Together with Ayeen, Josh, Niko([E][F]28), Pau(~Julia~) and Drew(Rischnan) we went to Gateway mall to eat our lunch there.
Ultimate bonding moment with them~

We have shared different stories, reminisced many things and remembered some people we met way back years ago. We had a bundle of laughs and I really enjoyed their company.

[E][F]28 and Rischnan (kala nu ah!/gg daldal nu eh)

Around 3:00pm, we parted ways because the 2 of them are going to attend the Saturday's Seige of Ragnarok Online and the 3 will attend the Armed and Loaded's EB at Laguna. To cut the long story short, I was left alone... huhu! T_T I immediately went home, take a nap and get prepared because my aunt and uncle will help me find a "boylet" in Eastwood! Haha! Joking!

Around 11:00 pm I went to my grandpa's house to check the computer shop and at the same time I waited for my aunt and uncle there. We left grandpa's house at around 11:15 pm. Ahooooooooo! To cut it short! I had a fun time there seeing many beautiful boys!
I named them "VITAMIN A" because they are good for my eyesight. hahaha!
I came home at around 3 am. It was a tiring day but, YES! it's worth it.

♥ Forget Him ♥

2008-01-22T04:20:00.000-08:00

Do you ever think about me...
Do you ever cry yourself to sleep....
In the middle of the night when your awake...
Are you calling out my name...

Forget ♥Him♥
Forget his name, forget his face
Forget his kiss,
His warm embrace

Forget the love that you once knew
Remember that he has some one new

Forget him when they played your song
Remember when you cried all night long

Forget how close you two once were
Remember he has chosen her

Forget you memorized his walk
Forget the way he used to talk
Forget the things he used to say
Remember he has gone away

Forget his laugh forget his grin
Forget the dimples on his chin
Forget the way he held you tight
Remember he's with her tonight

Forget the time that went so fast
Forget the love that moved its past
Forget he said he'd leave you never
Remember he's gone forever...

♥♥♥

Way Back Into Love

2008-01-09T05:31:00.000-08:00

Way Back Into Love - Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett

I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

[Chorus]
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it true without a way back into love.
Oooooh.

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere!

I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

Some things that money CAN'T buy ^^,

Future Teacher :)

2007-12-27T08:20:00.000-08:00

Last December 8, 2007 I went to Mary's Road to observe the Nursery class from 9 to 11 am. I enjoyed watching little kids singing, doing brain gym and excercising. I really enjoyed the time there watching them laughing, talking to one another, doing their daily routines and playing. As I watched them, I'm thinking if I will be a good teacher someday, that can take care, love and teach little children. I want to have that heart of being happy while seeing my future students grow up with the knowledge I taught them. I want to be like teacher Apple that has that big patience and really enjoys the company of little children. I can see it in her eyes that she has the passion for teaching kids. The children in the class I observed behaves well and they are really smart kids.

Hell week >.<

2007-12-17T02:20:00.000-08:00

It's the second day of my so-called "Hell Week". I woke up 5:30 in the morning, ate my breakfast, took a bath, did my morning girly *aka* kikay rituals and went to school. Actually I have three exams today and all of them are my major subjects. Haha! Super-drained ang utak ko because all the test are in essay form haha, anyway what's new?!? Our test is always in essay form. And now after i post this I will review for tomorrow's exam, four subjects left and Christmas vacation is Ooonnnnnnnn! weeeeee =))

A Dinner

2007-12-05T06:49:00.000-08:00

Hayyyyyy... *sighs* I just arrived from school because I had my dinner there with my batch mates and some of the seniors and the LET(Licensure Examination for Teachers) passers. This is the first time that i saw my classmates wearing corporate attire after 2 years when I first saw them. It was in our Social Arts subject where our final requirement is to wear the attire and walk properly in front of the classroom O_o. We'll I just realized that time is so fast because it was just like we are 1st year college yesterday and now were in our 3rd year. I enjoyed really enjoyed the night, the food and of course the pictorial sessions! hahaha!

Here are some of our pics:

Adobe Mania..

2007-11-26T09:49:00.000-08:00

For almost 6 hours I've been working desperately with this Adobe Photoshop.
Haha, at last after a long long time of wanting to learn this thing... I finally did.
Credits to Nicole(Cheng) for teaching me the basics and to
Frozen Fire(Robert) who taught me how to create an animation.
Anyway, I'm still a newbie but I'm proud of my works haha. It's an achievement learning how to use Adobe Photoshop CS2 by just following instuctions given by them through YM. lol. =))

Here are some of them:
*Wag nyo na laitin pinaghirapan ko yan! huhu! =(*

My 1st non-animated (basura) work:
Haha.. Trip lang yan, wala makuha sa internet eh.. Halatang noob work pa T_T

My 2nd non-animated:
I just tried na lagyan ng RO character kaso screenshot lang xa kya mlabo. T_T
(Thanks to my model~gandalicious/astrocigarettes /kis2).

Ung mga animated nde ko na nilagay. Maybe next time pag magaling na ko. =)) Haha!

Hedge Computer Shop ^_^

2007-11-18T06:50:00.000-08:00

From planning to doing the act this is where my family and I started.
This week my family and I do the work of building our small business,opening a small computer shop and we named it HEDGE. >.<

Throughout the week we've been painting the walls, putting up wallpaper, installing games and other softwares on the PC's.

We didn't hire any carpenters/workers because we did dare each other that we can do it by ourselves only hehe! (lakas trip in short) Our dads, uncles and grandpa did the carpentry, our moms and aunts did the shopping for the materials and of course us - did the pangungulit! haha joke, we did the installation of games, softwares, we helped painting, and sticking the wallpaper and putting posters at the wall.

All of the our family members worked because we want the business to be put up by our own hands, not just the money involvement but the hard work and sacrifice we did. ^_^

It's been a great time specially last night (Saturday) we really had our bonding sessions with each other while cutting the wallpaper, mixing wallpaper glue, painting the edges of the wall, installing softwares, cleaning the whole area and many more. hehe ^_^

A simple rainy day.

2007-11-15T02:40:00.000-08:00

It was a rainy day today, thats why I needed to bring my sweatshirt/jacket, umbrella and a pair of havaianas in case it floods. My classmates and I are required to watch the play of our school's dramatic guild. I watched it with my friends and i found the play very entertaining eventhough the plot is just about call-center. Hehe! lolx! I enjoyed it somehow. ^_^ After that, I and some of my Godsmack friends waited outside the comp. shop because kuya Badjagg is not yet there to open it. @_@ argh, it's been drizzling but we still waited for about 20mins aww.. tagal!!!, but the wait was worthwhile, dapat nga uuwi na ko eh.. . To make the long story short I spend my whole morning at school and my afternoon at Godsmack Computer Shop ("official tambayan ko") playing DarkRO because I dont have load in pRO, Well, what can i say about my day?.. umm..It's like just a usual day for me, no big deals, no important events... just an ordinary day. ^_^

Nearing "lights-on"

2007-11-12T17:24:00.001-08:00

``fraNces

I was a novice, a cute little newbie in the world of Rune-Midgard.
I trained hard to be a merchant for almost 2 weeks.
By then, i have to decide what would i want to be when i grow up.
To be a strong-sexy woman-blacksmith, or to be a nerdy potion-brewer Alchemist.
Then, i decided to be an Alchemist. It is so hard to be an Alchemist, brewing potions for seiges, for selling it to earn some money and of course for my own usage.
My journey as an Alchemist lasted for almost 4 months.
Im made my journey long because I'm not ready yet to be transcended into a Biochemist.

After thinking for some time if i want to be a biochemist, I finally decided i wanted to.
I went to Valhalla and pleaded him that I wanted to be a Biochemist.
He is so kind that he took all of my memories but promised to give it back when the right time comes and then he blessed me to became a high novice--
after some time i became a high merchant.
He told me that i must repeat again the journey and the trials I've been through before i can reach my goal---to be a Biochemist.

By that time, i really really really wanted to travel around Rune-Midgard.
I worked hard, fight monsters, sell things so that i can supply for my necessities.
It took me almost 2 months to reach my dream, and then HOLA!
I am a Biochemist but then i thought that my journey doesn't end there.
I need to work harder to be able to reach level 99 so that i can be strong enough to face anyone.

It almost took me 4 months to reach level 98,
glady some kind citizens of Midgard helped me, namely;
DonTebats/^g^more, AngelMike and `pabuffs. Right now i am so happy.
Because, only .8 percent is left and my journey for levelling-up is finally is over.
I only need a few more bottles to throw for me to shine.

Dear Beloved One

2007-11-09T03:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Beloved One,

Somewhere here i wait in this world of ours,
For my lonely soul is loosing through all the weary hours.
I have been hurt for several times but i know the hurt,
the pain and every tear that fell from my eyes are worthy,
because, i know it will lead me to the path where you are.

I don't know who you are and when will i meet you but i want you to know,
that I'm excited and I'm looking forward to that day,
when the fate decides to let us know each other.

Sometimes i wonder how we will meet...
Will i meet you in my favorite online game?
Will i be able to meet you in my school?
Or we're friends for several years but we just don't know that we are meant for each other?

I know that you are looking for me too like the way i am looking for you.
I just want you to know that I'll be just right here,
Waiting for that perfect time... that time that God will set for us.

Maybe i sound mushy, but i just want to express this love in my heart.
I wonder how we will make those hugs, those kisses and those romantic dates.
I wonder how it feels to be wrapped around in your arms of love.
I wonder how it feels when our lips touched.

Someday we'll make it and i know we will be happy together.
Our days will be like green leaves with golden flowers,
I'm waiting for that one beautiful day so perfect and whole,
When my life's long night is ended,
and the way lies open onward to eternal day with you.
