A teacher, who: me?

The SKP summer kindergarten program finally started this April 25, 8 o'clock in the morning for the orientation with the parents and some introduction as well on different subject matter and as part of its orientation, the students were all asked to introduce themselves and to state what they’ve dreamed to become in the future.



Some says, they wanted to become doctors, soldiers, nurses and even policemen, but what caught my attention was the dream of some students to become a “teacher” for it reminds me of my dream when I was just also by that age. To become a teacher! Yes!, and I’ve recalled my childhood where me and my friends use to play “teacher-teacheran” hahaJ and I’ve always wanted to become a teacher! Although I know the fact that my friends were even much older than I do, they’re more knowledgeable when it comes to different things and staff, but as I age, that dream that I have, eventually fade away, I don’t know why? But maybe because I’ve realized how hard it is, to stand up the entire period of the class, and kept on shouting just to call for the attention of all the students.

But as I recall those memories that I had, those dreams that I wish to achieved before, it just eventually leave a smile on my face thinking that it could just only be a part of my impossible dream. Since I’m pursuing Mass Comm. Right now, my mind is really focused on what I’ve wanted to achieve on the present. But it sounds funny how I eventually volunteered to become one of the Para-teacher of SKP to teach and to share what I can to little children. Well, I guessed it just merely means that I no longer really have to become an educ. Student just to teach because I could still become a teacher even on my own little way.

it's play time:)

I’ve always been health conscious and I really do look into my diet, “more fruits, less oil, more vegetables, less salt” For I’m really afraid to die just only due to sickness or illness. So exercising had also been a part of my routine, to make sure that my health resistance works properly and to look physically fit as well.


Then, because of summer, as I meet my new found friends, jogging had been a part of our bonding. And at least once or twice a week we do make time to jog a round or two, but to tell you the truth, it was not just only the jogging that matters most to us, but our childish games and silly tricks we use to play after jogging. It was pretty tiring that we kept on playing like kids do and laugh till we fart, and the only thing that could make us stop, was “time” . “Ui anong oras na? pupunta pakong SKP!” (some of the famous words!:)


From those jogging and playing bondings we used to have, it made me closer to my new friends and got the chance to meet more. What made it also super special is the fact that we no longer need a large sum of money just to have fun, to drink every morning a cup of “taho” that could already suit or quench our thirst and it’s enough.


Some might not even took their bath before the jogging, but still, everybody is having so much fun and kept on looking forward as to when would be the next one

Camp Journ'11


It was as a 5day boot camp, March 21-25,2011.Offered to some students at St. Paul, and as one of the lucky ones, I was chosen to become a part of it to attend on the said seminar.

On the first day, we had the chance to learn more on the journalism basics where we made a blog account to encode all of our works and learnings:) it was headed by Ms. SHERBET JAEN KATIGBAK-MANALILI

Day 2 with Ms. MAE LORRAINE RAFOLS,and Mr. GERARD DE SAGUN where we focuses on the news writing, how to write the news which comprises of the news lead and news feature. There were certain assignments given to us and a promised prize as to whoever would be chosen.

For the third day, we just had a continuation on what had happened from the 2nd day, and tackles topics such as the basic editing on our works. Our mentor do make sure to talk to each and one of us to edit our work and to make necessary changes about it.

Day 4, only focuses with Photography with Mr. JOVEL LORENZO, certain techniques to have in mind when it comes to basic photography. It was also pretty much fun when we just only pose in front of the camera and had our pictures taken by Sir Jovel,  the whole day was pretty much fun and it deals more on going around the campus premises..

And as for the 5th day, with Mister JEREMIAH MANALILI where the focus of the seminar was merely on design and layout and illustration, where we tackles more on the magazine or the print media, we were taught how to do simple ideas from creating magazines as to its layouting as well.

The 5days camp boot, was really informative, it was pretty much simple yet it created a huge impact on my part, and at the same time I've also got the chance to create my own blog account, where my thoughts and reflections might help others as well:))
