Paghahanap sa Sarili

Naisip ko lang to kanina habang nasa CLP (Christian Life Program) ako. Although hindi siya related sa topic namin kanina pero isusulat ko na lang din.

Alam naman ng friends ko dito sa fb na teacher ako. Siguro iniisip niyo na maliit pa lang ako eh pangarap ko na ito. Well, here's my story.

Grade 1 pa lang ako noon eh tandang-tanda ko pa na iniisip ko na noon kung anong course ko pagtungtong ng college. Oo, ganun ako mag-isip noon. Alam ko Engineering ang sagot ko. Parang si dadi. Pero hindi natupad yun kasi nung Grade 3 ako eh nag-remedial ako sa Math (hindi ako bagsak. 78 grade ko nun. Mataas lang talaga standard ng school ko noon.) Naku, malabo na. So isip ulit ako. Lumipat ako ng school noong grade 4. Naka-graduate ako ng elem eh yun pa din ang iniisip ko. Ano ba ang magiging course ko sa college?

High school na ako eh nasa isip ko pa rin yun. Hanggang sa dumating na ako sa 4th yr. Nag-inquire ako sa PUP noon. Natatandaan ko pa na Interior Design ang first course ko noon. Second choice ko eh Mass Com since ok naman ako sa Egnlish. Ayun, gamit nag stock knowledge eh nakapasa ako sa PUP. 93% ang percentile score ko. Walang review-review (Lord, patawad po dahil feeling ko masyado akong nagyabang sa huli kong sinabi). So ayun, kaso may hadlang... 80 lang ang final grade ko nun HS ako. Hindi dahil sa tamad ako. Yun ay dahil sa malabo ang mata ko. Wala pa kasi akong salamin noong mga time na yun. Takot akong sabihin kila dadi na malabo na mata ko kasi baka mapalo ako. Seryoso!

Ayan, May na nun, magpapasukan na pero wala pa rin akong school. Sabi ng ate Grace ko, mag-teacher daw ako katulad niya. Sabi ko, "Hibang ka na ba ate? Tignan mo nga grade ko?" Basta, mag-teacher ka. Sabi ni ate. Napaisip ako ng matagal...mga isang minuto. Tanong ko, "May Social Studies major ba?" Kaso wala daw. Tinanggal. Badtrip. Humirit ulit ako, "Eh Filipino?" Kaso no good pa rin. Ayoko naman ng BEEd kaso mahirap yun. Puro tsikiting magiging students ko nun. So sabi niya,"Mag-English ka na rin!". No choice, nag-English major ako.

College, hindi ko feel na papunta ako sa pagiging teacher. I almost quit. 3rd yr ko eh may bagsak ako na major. English-American Lit. May tres pa ako. Ayoko na talaga eh. Lahat na, nawalan din ako ng gf noon. Problema din yun para sa isang teenager na tulad ko noon. Nag-OJT ako nung 4th yr, walang kaalam-alam sa pagtuturo eh napasabak ako. Muntik na rin ako mag-drop. Ayoko na talaga. Pero nagbago lahat yun nung napadpad ako sa CIS. Sa suporta na rin ni JC na talagang naniwala at hindi bumitaw sa akin ay maayos kong natapos ang OJT sa CIS. Na-enjoy ko pa nga eh kahit na 60+ ang students ko per classroom. Kaya thank you talaga kay JC

Kaso pagka-grad ko, natakot ako magturo. Nag-call center ako. Akala ko yun na talaga ang job ko. Akala ko. May iba pa palang plano si Lord God para sa akin.

Isang taon matapos maging tambay galing sa call center, may dumating na opportunity. Pagtuturo. Ewan ko ba. Bigla na lang akong pumayag na mag-apply. Siguro sawa na rin ako sa pag-aapply sa Ortigas at Makati kaya ayun, kinagat ko. Di ko inaakala na matatanggap ako, At akala ko din na hindi na ako marunong magturo. Ewan ko ba. Natural na natural ako noong demo ko sa III-C. Walang kabang halo. Tapos yun. Natanggap ako. Pero wala pa sa utak ko na teacher na talaga ako...hanggang sa napasali ako sa CLP ng Singles for Christ.

Na-discover ko na nasa pagtuturo pala talaga ako. Siguro kaya ako nakapasok sa call center noon eh dahil si God ang gumawa ng paraan nun para ma-train ako. Ang good enough, I was trained.

May catch pa dun. Nabasa niyo yung sa itaas? Ibinagsak ko ang English - American Literature nung college ako...Pero eto ako ngayon, ayun ang tinuturo ko. At sa tingin ko eh maayos naman at nagampanan ko rin ang dapat kong gampanan bilang guro. Oh di ba? God has a plan for me.

Ngayon, wala na akong maisip na iba pang trabaho ko kung ang pagtuturo. Ikaw? Alam mo na ba ang ba ang balak sa'yo ng Diyos? Kung hindi pa, mag-pray ka at mag-antay ka. Ibibigay niya yun sa tamang panahon. :)

Anong point ko? That God has a plan for us. Darating din yun sa tamang pagkakataon at sa tamang oras.

Si Friendster. Bow.

Si friendster ang nagmulat sa akin na meron palang social networking site. Dahil kay friendster, dumami ang mga kaibigan ko na hindi ko kilala. Dahil kay friendster, naging masaya ang online social life ko. Dahil kay friendster, nalaman ko na hindi lang pala sa chatroom madaming tao.

O friendster, friendster. Naaalala ko pa noong December 2003 nang nag-sign up ako sa'yo. Wala pang madaming kaek-ekan noon. 5 pa lang ang pics na puwede i--upload. Wala rin HTML customization page. Hindi ko tuloy naiwasan na ikumpara ka kay pareng myspace na lagi kong pinag-eeksperimentuhan ng HTML. Hindi ko din makakalimutan na limitado lang ang puwede kong maging kaibigan noong bago ka pa lang. 500 pa lang noon ang puwedeng i-add. Hindi ko rin naman napuno yun.

O friendster, friendster. Marami akong alaala sa'yo. Diyan ko ulit nakita yung mga elementary friends ko. Pati na yung mga hs friends ko na hindi ko naman kaklase noong time na yun. Yung mga testimonial na walang limit ang characters ay nami-miss ko din. Lalo na noong naglagay ka ng limit sa characters. Nawala tuloy yung mga graphics. Nandun din yung mga testimonials sa akin ng mga kaibigan kong tunay at ng aking nag-iisang ex nasa tuwing nababasa ko noon ay sumisigla ang aking araw.

O friendster, friendster, nandyan ka pa rin kahit na nagka-multiply account ako. Hindi ka nawala. Sa katunayan, nag-make over ka pa noon. Hindi na lang 500 ang puwedeng i-add sa'yo. Dumami na rin. Tapos hindi lang 5 ang limit ng photos mo. Dumami na rin. Hanggang sa sumikat ka ng sumikat. Naging superstar ka sa mga kabataan na walang ibang inatupag kundi mag-online.

Ngayon dumating si facebook. Hindi pa rin kita inabandona agad. Mabagal pa kasi mag-load si facebook noon. Di tulad ng sa'yo. Mabilis. Pero nagka-HTML ka kaya nabuwisit din ako kasi uber bagal na nag loading time. Lalo na't dial-up pa kami noon. Pero ayun pa rin, hindi kita inabanduna. Sa katunayan, gumawa ako ng 2nd account ko noong 2006.

Pero lipas na ang panahon mo friendster. Hindi ka na nakasabay kay facebook. Si facebook na ang bukambibig ng nakararami. Wal ka kasing applications noon na puwedeng mapag-libangan. Wala ka rin chat kung saan puwedeng makausap ang mga kaibigan na online.

Pero ito ka na, pilit nagme-make over. Pero wala na talaga kaibigang friendster. Mahirap man tanggapin, naging bored na ang mga tao sa'yo. Mas masaya na sila sa piling ni facebook. Lalo na yung LIKE button. Wala ka kasi nun eh.

Friendster, oh friendster. naging parte ka ng buhay ng maraming Pilipino. At lahat kami ay nagpapasalamat sa'yo. Sana ay mag ibang bansa naman ang matuwa at mahumaling sa'yo para marami pa rin ang bumisita at kumausap sa'yo.

Friendster, oh friendster. Tumatak ka na sa buhay ng mga Pinoy. Sana ay ma-LIKE mo na si facebook. Sana ay i-TAG ka na niya sa kanyang gimik. Sana ay i-add mo siya para maging friends kayo ni facebook.

Surveys Mean Nothing

I hate surveys especially when it comes to the ranking of the candidates in election.

I believe that one's vote should not be based on what the survey said. Like for example, Noynoy Aquino is ranked as no. 1 in the survey. But it doesn't mean that he will win the election.

What will be the result if Noynoy loses the election? Of course, they will say that they were cheated.

This coming election, please, please, PLEASE, don't let the surveys take away YOUR vote. Decide by yourself.

On Jejemons...

They are still humans and we know that. But the point is that they are bastardizing the language whether be it in English or in Filipino. Language is evolving fast, but not to the extent that everyone doesn't know how to spell and write (or type) correctly anymore.

Let us take for example the time when text messaging became popular. Because of text messaging, many people forgot how to spell correctly and their vocabulary became limited as well. It's the same as those "Jejemons". "Jejemons" are also violating many rules of grammar (again, in both English and Filipinos). Because of "jeje-typing", proper punctuations are often ignored and misused.

Being an English teacher, I noticed the effects of text messaging and jeje-typing. How? By their theme writing. I can't believe that some (I said "some) students are short-cutting words and do jeje-typing (or jeje-writing) in their compositions. This is an insult to their teachers and their former teachers as well. It is also a hard task for the teachers to correct this if the children are used on jeje-writing.

It's not a mockery to the "Jejemons", it's just that language should be respected. Do I hate jejemons? I don't hate them as a person but I don't like the way they are treating our language.

Just my opinion. :)

Isang Halimbawa Kung Paano Makipag-usap ang mga Jejemon!

ISANG HALIMBAWA NG PAG UUSAP NG JEJEMON AT NORMAL NA TAO!

miSzMaldiTahh111: EoW pFuOh!

somerandomguy: Huh?

miszMaldiTahh111: i LLyK tO knOw moR3 bOut u, PwfoH. crE 2 t3ll mE yur N@me? jejejejeje!

somerandomguy: You are a jejemon! Don't talk to me, you uneducated retard!

miszMaldiTahh111: T__T

=====================

Si JEJEVADER. Ang tagapuksa ng mga jejemon.
SUPORTAHAN SI JEJEVADER!!! hahaha!

This post is for fun only. Don't take this seriously. LOL! =))

Moving On

I'm not talking about love here. I'm talking about moving on from the things that we posses.

I'm a type of person who has a difficulty of moving on. Like for example, I still have with me the quizzes of my students from Roosevelt College Cainta and Concepcion Integrated School two years ago. I find it hard to throw those away because of the memories I have with it. Even if it is just a test paper, because of their handwriting on it I don't throw it away. Another one is to the pictures that I have taken. Again, because of the memories in it, I find it difficult to delete all those files.

If you are to see my room, I have things in there that you may think as unnecessary and should be thrown away or should be burned to ashes. I don't throw all those away simply because I value the memories in it. In everything I own, if there are significant memories associated with it, I find it hard to disregard.

How about you? :)

Message to My Students

Hey! School is over as for now. You have conquered another year of studying. One more year left and off you go to colloege.

I just want to give my thanks to you guys since all of you became my first students in this profession. I'm glad that you were.

III-A - Event though most of my stresses came in your section, I still want to thank you for everything. Thanks because I tested how long my patience is. That even if the majority of you are rowdy, you showed both sides of teaching. Most of you are good in speaking the English language. Don't be shy. Try to develop it. It will do you good. :)

III-B - The section in which I call "the section in passive voice". (hehe!) One thing that I liked in your section was nobody ever failed.. Hmmm, I can't say anything much about your section. Just keep up the good work. Help one another (except DURING exams). ;)

III-C - The section who has the energy of the whole universe. Just so you know, this section is what I call "the section in ACTIVE VOICE". So energetic. But, to tell you frankly, sometimes I feel irritated when most of you are overacting things. I won't mention names. Just try to lessen your "pangungulit." You won't receive any extra or bonus grades for that.

III-D - The "half-half" section. Half intelligent, half something else. (heheheh!) Again, do your best. It's better not to let others influence you. Know your friends and their deeds. "Huwag laging umasa sa leader!"

III-E - Do your best. Continue striving for excellence. Thanks for the bonding momoents! :) Thanks also since you are always there to recite. Hehe!:)

So there, I'm going to add more on this note. I'll stop this for now because I'm really sleepy. zzZZZZzzzzZZZZZ...

BIR: Buhay Iwas Radiation

Wow! I can't believe I'm doing this on my facebook account instead of my muiltiply! Anyway, while I was at the church, I thought of something good. And this is it.

For the past 7 years of my life, I realized that I've been putting lots of radiation inside my body. Why 7 years? Because I had started using computer in 2003 and my cellphone in 2004. Imagine how many radiation particles inside my body. As we all know, radiation is a dangerous substance that can lead to several diseases. It also makes our body frail and prone to sickness.

Anyway, when will I do this BIR life of mine? Starting tomorrow. I'll be limiting my time in front of the PC and my cellphone as well. And on Holy Week, I'll be staying away from my gadgets. In place of this, I'll be meditating. (OT: Bleeeewch! Just chewed a chewable Kremil-S!) To achieve enlightenment!!! hehe! Kiddin' aside. I'll be practicing meditation. I'm almost there reaching the meditative state. :D

Can I do it? Of course! Because I'm bored with surfing the net nowadays. I'm also bored texting. I'll just focus more on what I do best, card tricks and teaching...or teaching and card tricks? LOL!

How to Become a Good English Speaker

As an English teacher, I have the task to make the students like the English language. It's because English is the business language. People in the corporate world use English as their main language. Whether we like it or not, English is here to stay.So here my tips for those who want to be a fluent speaker.

DISCLAIMER: I don't have a perfect grammar. I just want to share with you some tips that I learned from the call center industry and from my friends as well.

1. BE CONFIDENT - Don't be shy in speaking the English language. You should be confident. Even if your grammar is incorrect, talk English anyway.

2. ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS - Of course this is important. This is to avoid stuttering and long time pausing when you speak in English.

3. DO NOT BE CONSCIOUS WITH YOUR GRAMMAR - This is a tip I got from a friend of mine. Being conscious with your grammar makes you stutter. Instead of focusing with your grammar, why not focus more on what you are trying to say? But remember to review your tenses once in a while. Remember, not all Americans speak correct English. :)

4. AVOID THE FILLERS - Ah! The dreadful fillers. So what are those fillers? It's the "Ummm", "ahhhh", "ahmmmm", and "ano". Avoid these fillers as much as possible. It's irritating to listen to a person who have lots of fillers. Seriously. It doesn't make you sound cool too.

5. MAKE IT SIMPLE - Here's another tip that I got from a chatmate a long time ago. Make your language simple. Don't use high-faluting words. You may sound cool if you use difficult words but the point is, does the one you are talking to understands what you are trying to say? Always remember, SIMPLICITY is your friend.

6. READ ALOUD - Another tip that I got from my college professor. Practice to read aloud in your house/room. This way, you can evaluate how you pronounce the words that you are reading. This also promotes confidence when speaking the language.

7. WATCH ENGLISH PROGRAMS - By watching English programs you can imitate how the native speaker pronounce its words. Do not forget how they pronounce each words. You can imitate how they speak their language. It's very good to learn the English language from the native speakers.

8. READ ENGLISH MATERIALS - Of course. I forgot to mention this above. You should read a lot of English journals and newspapers. Try to analyze the sentence construction. Do not also forget to read aloud just like what I have written above.

9. IF YOU ARE A GOOD ENGLISH WRITER, SPEAK IT - There are some people who are good in English when it comes to writing. My tip for this is instead of writing your thoughts down, speak it instead. It's just the same. :)

10. PRACTICE. PRACTICE. PRACTICE! - Always try to speak English with your friends of classmates for 15 - 30 mins. a day. Sooner or later, you'll get used to it. Someday you'll just notice that your friends will tell you how good of an English speaker you are. :)

11. THE ENGLISH - TAGALOG DICTIONARY IS YOUR FRIEND - Always have this in your bag. No explanations needed about this one. :)

12. AVOID THE MENTALITY "BAKIT AKO MAGSASALITA NG ENGLISH EH PILIPINO AKO?!" - This mentality is stupid. Seriously. Yeah the Japanese progressed because they love their own language but that's for them. They were not aiming for Global Competitiveness before. Plus, they hated America and England so why would they speak their enemies' language? As for our country which is an open country, we should learn the language of the corporate world for us to land a job. Heck, even the janitors and security guards in call centers speak English. Don't also forget that our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, he knows how to speak 4 different languages. "Eh bakit siya, Pilipino, maraming alam na ibang lengguwahe? Sana si Andres Bonifacio na lang ang national hero natin kung ganun!" Think about it.

So there. I hope this will help you a lot. :) Practice speaking English everyday. But don't forget to love our mother tongue. :)
