It has been a long time since I last blogged. A lot of things happened, both happy and not so happy. But to sum it all up, life has been so kind to me, God has and always has been so generous to me.
It was for some years that I was neutral in a sense that I don't really belong to a group. I'm like a floating member of the faculty. But this school year is different. I'm part of the good group so to speak. And I'm glad to be a part of it. We are awesome as individuals, moreso when we are together. Our bonding is usually over coffee or lunch or dinner; in short FOOD! We don't talk about other people, we talk about our lives, our wishes, our plans for more bonding time during breaks. But since our common ground is work, we sometimes talk about our ups and downs, our ideas of what is happening around. But most of all, we affirm each others good qualities, we uplift each other when we are down and we stand by each of us. Thank you God for Roanne, Fransly, Rheema, Via, Mommy 12, Mau. You guys are really great friends!
This 2nd sem of SY 2011-2o12, I'm back to school, as a student. It has been 11 years since I last attended school, and I was so excited when I got accepted at the Ateneo de Manila University. I'm enrolled as a post grad student of MS Science Education major in Biology. Although the subjects I'm taking now are supposed to be the last ones I should've enrolled at, I don't mind at all. Because all I want is to go back to school. It's not easy because I'm still a full-time teacher, but I'm up for the challenge. My first "test" as a student was to give a report about Correlational Research with my partner Grace Yn. And I think we did well. The next one was our first long test in stat. I was confident of most of my answers except 1 item worth 20 points. But when my paper was returned, I lost 22 points because of carelessness. I could've gotten A- but instead ended up getting a B. But I definitely learned my lesson which ironically I also keep reminding my students about, be careful! Harder challenges are on their way as we are expected to write a micro-research paper for our Methods and Materials for Reseach. And writing a research paper, no matter how micro that would be is my waterloo. I hope that after this subject, things go around that I would appreciate research writing and be better at it. As for stat, I will definitely do better next time as I keep in mind to be more careful when answering the exam questions.
Here at home, we have a new member to grace our family, Dennise Luela Gabrielle P. Llanto; Gab for short. (I actually pity her when she starts schooling cause she has a very long name to write on her paper. I hope though that it fits in one line.. -.-) She's a very adorable baby girl for her unceasing laughter and cute tactics. It's so nice seeing her wake up and smile at you. It so cute making her sleep. It's so great talking to her and eventhough I know she doesn't understand everything I tell her, she never fails to respond with a smile or a giggle. I pray that she grows into a beautiful lady inside and out.
I think I have written a lot already although I know there are still more that I can write about. So, that's it for now.
PS. I miss my bird family in Pasig. Also, I miss you B!
