My Graduation Message to my Fourth Year Advisory Class IV- Piety







To my beloved Fourth year Piety Students, 


           After four years of hard work and sleepless nights, finally it’s over! But to tell you honestly, this is just the beginning of a long journey towards success and the fulfillment of all your dreams. There will be a lot of challenges and obstacles ahead but I know that you will overcome all of these. As a graduate of Brokenshire College Toril, you have been trained to be strong and determined. You are now equipped with the knowledge and skills you need as a weapon to all the battles you will face.Imbued with Christian values, you are expected to make sound decisions that adhere to the teachings of the Almighty. 


Moving up to college is stepping into anotherlevel of training you need before facing the real world. Unlike high school,college is a test of how disciplined and focused you are as a person. No moreadvisers to follow up your grades and attendance. Freedom and independence areyour best friends but at the same time your worst enemy if you are notresponsible enough. Personal discipline, not innate talent or intellect, isoften the deciding factor between success and failure. If you want to besuccessful in life, you have to take time, make effort, do hard work, and evenundergo suffering. 


As you leave the portals of your Alma Mater, let me say Thank You! As your adviser, I also learned a lot of things, realized a lot of things from all the problems that I have encountered handling your class. I taught you how life is in the future but you taught me more how to live my life. Always remember that greatness has no fixed address but is a place where each one of us can achieve. Success is our own personal definition.Congratulations!

My First Pueblo Science Camp Experience


                                                         
Last April 26-27, 2012, I attended a seminar workshop on Science Teaching. It was facilitated by Pueblo Science, a Canadian registered not-for-profit organization aiming to promote science literacy in underserved communities like the Philippines.

Mr. Cheng also taught us how to make a FLEXAGON

Then i applied all that I have learned from the science camp in my own class. I didn't have a hard time looking for materials since they are readily available. Last school year, I had a hard time during laboratory experiments because the school lacks tools and materials for the activities so i just skipped laboratory exercises.

I would like to thank and commend all the volunteers of the Pueblo Science Camp for teaching us Teachers how to conduct experiments using readily available materials. Heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Mayrose Salvador, the President of the Pueblo Science, which I'm proud to say that she's a Filipina. First,I thought the leader of this organization is Canadian since it's based in Canada. You are an inspiration, ma'am! Looking forward to Pueblo Science reaching out to more teachers in the communities that have no access to materials needed in an experiment. 
I Hope to be a volunteer in the future.   ^___^v

Boracay Baby


Boracay's Long Shoreline
One of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
I thought coming in this place is impossible but dreams do come true. 
Last February 1, 2013 I went to this place with a friend. 



We stayed at Mayflower Hotel, Located at Station 2. A few minutes walk going to the beach. 



We stayed on the second floor.



Pool side 






*D Mall
There were a lot of shops in Bora. For a small island like this. I didn't expect to see







near the Sand Bar, Fire Dance Venue



Top view ...so windy!

I can see the whole Island of Bora from here.










Fire Dance @ the Sand Bar




and Finally i got to experience to ride this thing but so expensive....


After visiting Boracay, i can now agree that indeed it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It's long shoreline, white sand, the perfect view of the sun set, the food, shops, and bars. What a nice experience! 

BORACAY!
