010 Learn Latin

One of my co-teachers shared that he learned his Latin right after college. He took pains to study the language every summer. That made him qualified to teach Latin though he was a chemical engineering professor at the university of the Philippines. He is young; he looks intelligent too considering his young age.

There is something puzzling with the teachers in PAREF northfield. Each one seems to be so qualified to teach in a big school yet they chose to teach in PAREF. I have my own reason and that make me somehow accepts that talented teachers do teach in a school that does not offer a competitive salary. I have also observed that most of the teachers are ambitious. Every one wants to advance in his career.

PAREF offers each teacher a training which is a little bit of all the good things. This is very much a unique school. Something like a seminary in a layman's world.

Some may not like the involvement of parents in the management of the schools. But PAREF way is different. The parents are involve because they have decide to be truly involve in the development or their children from home to school to society. There is actually a consious effort from the parents to make the school the best for their children. This I believe is admirable.

By the way, I also want to learn Latin. I am going to borrow basic Latin from my co-teacher.

This is all for tonight. God bless.

-005 LOVE'S INCONSISTENCY

After this I will have my first period, 10 Newton. Our discussion will be on the topic Love's inconsistency by Francesco Petrarch. This topic comes to home. Like Francesco, I am in love with a girl, who is also my delight and my strife. This morning I said goodbye to her. A goodbye which I my hearts says I should have not said. My mind says that I cannot live with her because she belongs to a world different from mine. But eveytime I follow my mind, I am hurt. And eveytime I follow my heart, I fall. I don't see love is inconsistent. I see all the feelings and the emotions I experienced as part of this great state--Love. For love is infinite, and we humans, cannot understand, all the colors of love. Some of us can see only harmony because we ignore to see the other colors of it. But love is a mixture of all of these. I love because it is the greatest experience. I rise with love. I fall with love. Life is love. Love is like. There is no real diference. and when we stop...

013 bloodstained island

For three days, we stayed in Corregidor. We went inside its tunnels and caves and foxholes. We went over its mountains and dove in the sea that surrounds it. There is so much to be said of the experience. This I will do in the coming days. Stay connected! God bless you. cliche: I was here!  

017 Teachers Day

I went home early today. We just reported for half-day with which we celebrated our teachers day. There was no fun-fare. It was simple and communal. Somehow, it is much better this way. The other days I received messages from my former students from Jubilee greeting me happy teachers' day--something absent in Northfield. I feel that it is not really a culture here to celebrate such day...maybe because there are so many celebrations that an additional one would not matter so much.
