3rd Parent-Teacher Conference

Side note: Before starting my new post, I would like to thank all my readers and followers. You are the reason why I am motivated to write. Thirteen days to go and it's our academy's third PTC. Though it isn't the first time for me to organize this event, but still I am a bit nervous. Nervous because I want to do things right and like the previous two, I want it to be successful as well. If there are things I can do to better this 3rd PTC, I hope to do it this time. I want to exceed my own expectations. Firstly, I expect full cooperation from teachers and parents involved. I believe this activity is beneficial to both parties; it creates an open communication between parents and teachers about the progress of the kids and what else needs to be done to help the kids improve their English skills and more so, to excel academically in their individual schools. Secondly, I would like to remind myself of the following: Since there are only a few days left, I need to ready the QPR

Steve Job's Last Words

The father of my BFF sent me a link to Steve Job's Last Words on Kakaotalk. After reading it, I find it worthy to share. Also, it is very timely with the message today in the church about money. Wealth has a power to blind us what really matters. Money sets a snare to whoever loves it. Yeah, let's all watch out 'cause anybody can fall to its trick. It has full of lessons and an eye-opener to many of us. Take time to read and let the message sink in: "I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others' eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end , wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realized that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the hu

My heart is swelling with happiness 'cause Christmas is here, my favorite season. During this season, people are kinder, happier, and just good vibes around. Thank You for the Love is an ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID, which I love to listen to and is so meaningful. It pierced through my heart. I would like to take this time to thank you to the countless people who have helped me in so many ways. I couldn't be where I am now if not because of them. Thanks to my parents for the love and support. They have always been so supportive of my plans. They are the best when it comes to moral support. I know I am oceans apart from them but they are always in my heart. I love them so much. Actually, I have been thinking these

Boracay Trip

When you hear the word 'Philippines', the first thing that comes to mind is 'Boracay' or 'Cebu.' These two places are very popular among tourists, foreigners and locals alike. It was my first time to set foot in Boracay last November 7-10, 2015. Thanks to my Korean family who asked me to come with them. It was their first family trip abroad. When I say my Korean family, this is the family of my student turned BFF. Why do I consider them as my family? During my stay in Korea, I lived with her family, and they took care of me.

The relationship that I forged with them transcends beyond cultural differences which I am very much thankful of. At times, though, there are some misunderstandings because of differences, but it's natural in any healthy relationship. Well, going back
