015 Life of significance

It has been ages since the last time I wrote here. I have been busy for the past few days panning for my new-found business and mapping out my life. I am dreaming big and I dream a life of significance.

This is the first time that I am not excited for the first day of class. Maybe because I still don't know the people that I am going to meet. or maybe because I am not so much excited with the subject I am to teach. I know that this is temporary, once I meet my students, I know things will certainly change. There is so much life into teaching that death would not be able to conquer. I know enthusiasm will soon come back.

I hope that in a few days, I would be able to write down my dreams. I want to feel, smell, see, hear, and if possible, taste it. I want my dreams to become flesh and blood reality.

By the way, tomorrow i will be delivering a speech at the Metro Manila Toastmasters Club. My tentative title is DREAMWEAVER. I will post the speech at smarspeech soon.

-005 LOVE'S INCONSISTENCY

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...

006 I could sing of your love forever

I am listening now to a song of the same title as this entry. I am done writing the minimum competencies for 2nd and 3rd year high school. I am yet to write one for the 4th year. These minimum competencies will become the bases of the syllabus that we teachers are to design. As I was writing the curriculum objectives, I was visited with an army of ideas on how to execute them in the classroom. I have learned so many techniques in my eight years of teaching. Yet, none of these technique is a sure fire in the classroom. Every child in the classroom is a new being I have to deal with. Every classroom is different to every other classroom I have handled before. One prominent thought that visited me was a warning. Most of what are education today trained students on how to answer questions like WHAT IS THE CAPITAL OF Paris? or WHAT IS A VERB, A NOUN, AN ADJECTIVE, GALAXY, NEUTRON, MEAN, CHI SQUARE, OR ANYTHING? which if given just another short glance would amount to nothing.
