Fun English

Being a licensed teacher passing 2007, the LET of Licensure Examination For Teachers for Secondary Level for both Gradeschool and Highschool levels. I have experience to teach for both MAPE (music, arts and P.E.) and MAPEH (music, arts, P.E. and health) respectively for elementary and highschool. I asked to teach Social Studies for elementary just to know about the entire Philippines. Aside from that I taught Work Education like cooking, sewing and home making. Lastly, I had an exprience to teach Christian Living for my students to have values in their life. I thank for the private schools like Las Pinas Montessori, Adamson University, Regis-Grace Montessori School and now Prestige Communication International (PCI). I am hired to the company to teach first ESL or English Secondary Language to Korean students and now Music, Fun English and ESL.

PCI or Prestige Communication International has offered classes for Summer and Winter Camp for Koreans FUN ENGLISH. It is a combination of Music and Art Classes to make it FUN but th students are not aware that there is the special ingredient which is studying ENGLISH. 

I started only music classes like teaching how to play the piano, recorder and guitar or know how to sing in Philippine summer of 2011. Then, I was asked to have FUN English in teaching the students to sing Mamma Mia songs in the said musical. I put in what I have learned in school to make students like to sing and dance. Well, we were taught how to really perform and have that kind of confidence.

Fun English nowadays is evolving because recently we had Mamma Mia songs, Sandwich making and Clay making with sentence patterns V+O+IO, and art activities like greeting cards and scrapbook making.

 Anyway, it is so fun to do what you are doing. Time really flies when you are having fun. 

Life As We Know It

It is different nowadays. Busy from work and activities. Plus being married now. Working on to have a family. The schedule of blogging is not anymore part of the lists. Trying to have one. Imagine if I will have a kid. 

I wanted to blog so many things. However, sleeping is now a luxury that I cannot afford to miss. I love my simple life now. In the morning I would have to wake up from Monday to Friday or even Saturday for work. My husband is the one who prepares our breakfast because he is much better as a cook than I am. Besides, I love eating what my husband prepares.

Off to work, there are tons to do such as teaching Korean students to learn English and piano lessons. Very ironic that I am teaching English which when I was young, I dislike English. Thanks to my English teachers back then, they pushed me to study it very well. Though, St. Scholastica's College is known for fluent speaking English language. Ask my batch mates, especially their children who fluently speaks English and having a hard time in speaking our Filipino language.

Anyway, I love working because it is when I do my best. It is not personal, remember it is just work. I do not need to have feelings. That is my husband's job or even my mother's, well sometimes. Being a workaholic is not that good. However, you will see the benefits like working hard for a rainy day.

My other activities and still in the line of work, teaching piano, voice, recorder, guitar and choir are in my lists. Therefore, in the weekends these activities are there. In addition, I do not have any time practically for having a social life. Trying too though, in particular with my husband, my mama and friends.

Hopefully at the end of the day, I will have a long time for my beauty rest because my body needs it. Thus, I am not getting any younger. Wishfully I will become wiser. Life is too short anyway that I really like to make it to the fullest.

Think about it and enjoy life.

Finally, I am now Married...

Honeymoon: Eden Nature Park, Davao City

I am now married and still in the honeymoon stage of my life with my husband Raffy. We are still in the adjustment period. Same goes to my mama who is also adjusting that I am a married woman. It is quite an adjustment because being an only child, I have my own bed and bedroom to consider as my own. However, now being married, I have to consider the perks of having to share with somebody that I love especially my bed and my bedroom. Thus, the responsibilities now are more than being single because you have to consider your better half's opinion and decision as a married couple.

So far, I am very happy because God has joined me and my husband to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worst, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do we part.

I would like to share of Ten Rules for a Happy Marriage: website at http://www.stanleywatt.com/documentation%2002.html

Music is a blessing and talent from God. We possess certain talents that we nurture and sharing it with people. 

Ralph has Autism and he is 10 years old. He has been having his piano lessons over a year and he could really play a piano piece of both hands. Of course, the child has to practice over and over again for a period of time. The process is slowly but surely. There is plenty of improvement and at the same time the child has having fun in having his piano lessons.

Jolly is having her voice lessons. Her voice range is an Alto singing songs for weddings and church music. She will be training for her line ups as a wedding singer.

A related article and history about the The Shrine below. (Reference): http://www.tempo.com.ph/2012/veneration-of-a-sacred-relic/

Shrine of the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ

MANILA, Philippines — A sacred relic, part of the cross where Jesus Christ was crucified, is enshrined in the Parish of the Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ which was elevated into a Diocesan Shrine on January 14, 2012.

Devotees continue to flock to the new shrine to pray and venerate the Savior’s relic.

The miniature relic is contained in a giant cross, placed beside the tabernacle on the right side of the altar of the shrine. It was brought to the Philippines on January 2, 2012, from Rome, after the parish sector wrote to the Vatican agency in charge of holy treasures and asked for a relic of the “true cross” to complement the faithful’s devotion to the Five Wounds of Jesus Christ.

The relic was originally owned by a family in Salerno, Italy, that donated it to the shrine, through the Vatican, which authenticated it in 1634.

The Five Holy Wounds or Five Sacred Wounds are believed to be the five piercing wounds that were suffered during the crucifixion of Jesus. In the course of His Passion, Jesus suffered other wounds as well, such as those from the crown of thorns and from the flagellation.

Let us venerate the relic now enshrined in the Parish of the Five Holy Wounds of Jesus Christ, and before it, pray for peace in the world, in our country, in our families, and in ourselves. Let us pray for blessings for the New Year.

Calamari

Last Sunday, March 4, 2012, I was with my friends Li-ling and Jane and especially with my Raffy. After going to Divisoria. We decided to go to Taguig City particularly at Market Market, Serendra and Bonifacio High Street.

After walking and dinner came, we ate at T.G.I Friday's. Ordered Strawberry Lemonade which is bottomless, Calamari, Half Rack and Caesar Salad. Really enjoyed the company and the food there.

Thank you Li-ling for the pictures and thank you Jane for T.G.I Friday's for the treat. Again, we appreciate a wonderful day.

I remember the time when the Scholasticans went to T.G.I Friday's Glorietta just to order bottomless Iced Tea and French Fries. The endless chit chat for a long period of time hanging out there. Yes, we just ordered Iced Tea and Fries. Unfortunately, there are long lines of customers wanted to eat there that the waiter asked us if we will have some additional orders aside from what we have. Anyway, we just decided to pay the bill and leave. It is really the best place to hang out.

As of today, the food are really good and it is worth of the generous servings like they always have. The taste has been improved a lot. The service is also good at my ratings.

Try eating there at T. G. I Friday's and you will enjoy good food and the company of your friends.
