Just want to share the transcript of a great book wriiten by Robert Fulghum about what do we really need to remember about what we learned during our early years. This simple facts are just few of the things I am trying to learn and practice to become a better person. I still believe that if most of us Pilipinos will put this things into practice, we'll have a better and peaceful country.


All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten. All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had a basic policy to always put thing back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are - when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

I came late this morning. I’m not feeling well this morning when I woke up so I decided to sleep at least an hour more. Unfortunately I didn’t notice the time and I was awaken when my roommate came back to the room at 10 a.m.Too bad for me and my students since it’s the Monday. We only have 2 more weeks and I still have a lot of lessons in the syllabus for that 2 weeks.

With elegance and grandeur is what I can describe last Saturday’s juniors and seniors promenade in the Isla ballroom of Edsa Shang. Different suits for men and beautiful gowns for girls make the event exceptional. You cannot imagine that these students are from a public high school. Now, it’s true that the majority of the students in Pisay came from the middle and wealthy families.

One extraordinary moment last Saturday is when the ‘brotherhood’ (a group of fourth year students) danced with their batman masks to break the rules of a traditional masquerade party. The Bloomfields band also supplies the great music that evening with their 60’s and 70’s cover songs from the Beatles and other bands.

Went to SM mall of Asia yesterday with a friend. It is my first time. There are lots of people and it’s too big to check different places. Also, too far. I still prefer malls along Edsa. Either in Ortigas or Makati area. Malls are supposed to be relaxing.

Long time no post..


Just finished our ahievement exmas for this year and i find the Math and Physics exams too long for the students. Just imagine how they look like when they want to stop the time just to finish the whole exam on time.

Also had our Unit picture taking.Will all the 'creative and witty' plans we had before. The actual pictuire came to be more serious and teacher like.:-)

I had a great time last night. After my class with Prof Soria, i went to MRT Taft to meet my kuya and went back to UP for the fair concert. I really love UpDharmaDown!

Pagkatapos ng isang maikling bakasyon, tambak na trabaho ang aking nadatnan.

I need to begin all the work this weekend so not to be burden for the coming weeks since the end of school year id fast approaching. Class is approximately less than a month and I expect that a lot of requirements and paper works will be passed on that time. Even my reporting in Grad School was scheduled on the first or second week of March so I must expect that I will be busier on that time. Went to a record store yesterday to buy a rewritable CD to copy all the pictures I had for the Tacloban and Bora trip. As usual, the initial plan of buying only a rewritable disc was altered. At the end, I bought 2 records. The Philippine Madrigal Singers live recording CD entitled Around the World and a CD compilation of music from violin.

Had a class last night and unfortunately the reporter of the day forgot to prepare her report. She asked the teacher for reschedule.

Back to reality. Vacation time is over and I need to go back in school and work. Its a great feeling to spend a relaxing and quality time with my family once in a while.Want to go back in Bora this summer but I think I don't have time and budget for it anymore.

Staying in station3 is not that bad idea. It is quiet and peaceful compared to Station 2 and 1 where different parties are held.

I hope that the government will look upon the different "scams" and gimmicks in Boracay. Too much unnecessary fees are being collected everyday without proper government receipts. Developmets of some places must also be considered like the airport, terminals, and ports.

Not that ready and excited for the "Boracay" trip. I have class this morning and thank God that the third year have a career fair and that means they don't need to attend my class.

Morning class with Emerald is quite enjoy today. I've shown the pictures I have taken in their English Play last Science Fair.

Day 3

A whole day of training and had a chance to drink 'tuba' in the evening in Sir Rolex's house. It was a great dinner with a lot of seafoods and the famous 'lechon' of the south.





Day 4

Went to the downtown Tacloban alone to have an haircut in the morning. The people in Tacloban are really friendly and hospitable. This is the last day of our training and some teachers invited us to some of the places in Leyte. We went to 'Busay Falls' and in an NGO reforestration program headquarters in the foot of a mountain. For dinner, we ate in Mc Arthur Park Hotel.




Day 5

We wake up early to go to the market to buy 'pasalubong'. A lot of delicious native delicacies. Bought some carabao milk candies for my students, murong for the teachers and tahong chips for my dormmates. Dr. de Dios even gave us a box of newly baked brownies. Hope that I can go back in Tacloban again. It was a great place to visit.
