hardships and happiness will always be my keys to my success.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When was the last time I blog about “what’s happening on me?” theme? Shot! After the release of boards, I went to manila to have my ivt training at the university of Santo Thomas hospital. After a month I was able to be a trainee in a tertiary hospital here in pangasinan. I had three choices and options, to stay in the hospital, be somewhere but then having no income or stay here with my family and work, have a little allowance to use in a monthly basis.( NEED NOT TO ELABORATE) So I decided to stay here, besides mom asked me to stay here just for a year maybe. I faced people who are not so… (I don’t want to say anything negative so you know what I mean). So maybe you are asking me what your drama is anyway. You lived with your parents; you have no reasons to save some of your money everything is libre. But, every day I go to work I’m not excited as I did when I was in the hospital. I was not such passionate compare with my first exposure as a registered nurse, I don’t know. I just want to move months faster so I could end my contract in the government. I am not happy. I feel I was standing on a stagnant water and wasn’t able to learn how to surf with the flows of water. There is no self-fulfillment. I want to grow more as individual. I want to explore my capabilities more. On the early month I had a problem dealing with patients, because we were taking care of the whole community eh. There are some who are annoying and irritating and i wasn’t expose with that such kind of people, when I was in college when I’m irritated with somebody I just don’t talk with him but in my work I need to entertain this kind of people because they are my patients so my personality as a hot headed, being a dominant, hot tempered rises. And I cannot control it the moment I talk with them, so I got so many complains in the office. I talked with my boss, had a little advices from her and gocha. After several weeks she said I have some improvements. Maybe? I don’t know.in my nature of work, There are so many people you need to understand their way of thinking, their “level” of thinking not necessary as the patients but as the whole environment per se. I just don’t want to be stock there and be stagnant like the other people there. There are some people who are good, the one who I learned some things like, “kung magpapatalo ka adding, wala ka” and “wag mo ilevel ang sarili mo sa kanila” they can handle themselves from the environment because they know how to move in some other place. Bihasa na sila. As a beginner it’s not advisable for you to stay where you may not find a little “good soil for you to grow”. It’s like seed, you need to plant it in a loam (ow eff I forgot my biology! Sand clay? Whatever. What is the best soil for the seeds? That’s it!) So it may grow as beautiful as like the others, then if the plant can now survive for itself she can now expose with the different types of soil and be able stand and be beautiful as it is. What I learn from school is whatever the things you want to do you must start with the BEST foundation. 7 months more.. but I think, I will learned good things too. *sigh.
Sa ating Administrador ng THE SALVATION ARMY EDUCATIONAL SERVICES,Inc., Major Elmer O.Orden, sa mga guro at kawani ng eskwelahang ito,sa mga magulang,mga mag aaral,mga kaibigan ko at kamag-anak,MAGANDANG UMAGA sa inyong lahat.Nais ko munang ikwento ang mga panahong ako ay isang mag aaral sa paaralang ito,1996 noong ako ay isang kindergarten pa lamang . At ang aming guro ay si Bb. Marissa Baquirin.Nung ako ay mag grade 1, sa T.Gante Elem School ako nag aral sapagkat wala pang grade 1 na inoofer dito.Nang nalaman ng aking nanay na may grade 1 and 2 nang sumunod na taon, agad niya akong binalik, at lima lang kaming magka-klase noon. Mag isa kong babae, at apat na lalaki. Hanggang nagdagdagan na ang grade school dito, dumami kaming mga babae at mga estudyante, at ng ako ay mag grade six, naging labing dalawa na kami, apat na babae at walong lalaki. Kami ang kauna-unahang nagtapos sa iskwelahang ito.At ito ay lagi kong ipinagmamalaki ….na ako ay sa isa sa kauna-unahang produkto ng TSAESI.
Noong matanggap ko ang liham ng pa- anyaya bilang pangunahing pandangal ng The Salvation Army Educational Services, Inc., agad akong natuwa, umuwi ako sa aming tahanan sinabi ko sa aking mga magulang ang magandang balita. Ang sabi ko ayos!, magaala Lourd de Veyra na ako. Sa hindi nakakakilala sa kanya,sya yung magaling na taga balita ng channel 5 at isa ring comentarista.
SA inyo mga estudyante,Hindi ko na siguro kelangan sabihin kung gaano kayo kapalad, nabuhay kayo sa knowledge of information age. Noong ako’y bata pa naranasan ko ang gumamit ng teleponong de lata na pinagdudogtong sa dulo ng bawat isa, ang aking kalaro ay pupunta sa mejo malayo layo, sisigaw siya ng hello! At dun kami’y maguusap. Ngayon, bawat bahay ay naka wifi, at lahat may skype account, facebook, viber, at kung ano ano pa. noong nasa elementary pa ako at pasikat pa lamang ang internet, kinakailangan naming bumili ng tig isa isang malalaking diksyunaryo para sa aming mga homework, kelangan naming magbasa at hanapin sa mga pahina ng libro ang bawat sagot sa aming homework. Sa panahon ngayon, lahat na ata ng bata ay naka i-phone, nakatablet at isang pindot lang sa google search, instant! May sagot na! naalala ko nung kakalabas pa lamang yang I phone na iyan, kolehiyo ako noon, sabi ko bakit si yumi may telepono,ang bata kong pamangkin na kinder, baka mahulog, mahal yan! Lumapit ito at sabi, ate mai mai, laro tayo! At dahil wala akong ka ide-ideya sa teleponong iyon pindot lang ako ng pindot sinabihan niya ako,Di mo naman alam ate e! ganito yan ang sabi nya.
Sa panahong ngayon, lumalangoy tayo sa impormasyon. At isang patunay na bawal maging mangmang dahil sa murang edad, na iintroduce ang teknolohiya na kakambal ng impormasyon. Ayon sa aking pagkakaalam, tayo nalang sa asia ang 10 year pre university cycle. Ano nga ba ang kagandahan ng K to 12? Kung Magtatawag ako ng 2 bata ngayon, bibigyan ko sila ng isang babasahin na pareho, ang isa, trenta minutos nya lamang itong babasahin at ang isa ay isang oras. Kung aking tatanungin ang dalawang estudyante, mas madaming maisasagot ang nagbasa ng isang oras sapagkat nakuha niya ng husto ang retensyon at komprehensyon sa kanyang binasa. Paano ba tayo makikipagsabayan sa ibang bansa kung tayo’y dehado sa sa oras at hindi nakuha ang tamang absorpsyon sa ating pag-aaral? Noong nabasa ko sa dyaryo ang K to 12 implementation, sa Maynila palang ito sinisimulan, sa mga pribadong iskwelahan, madaming tumuligsa sa programang ito, ni kesyo hindi daw makakaya ng pondo ng ating pamahalaan, hindi pa handa ang Pilipinas sa K to 12. Ang sa akin, kelan tayo magiging handa sa pagbabago? Kelan tayo makikipagsabayan sa ibang lahi na alam naman nating mas magaling at mas madudunong tayo sa kanila?. Mabilis matuto ang Pilipino. Binasa ko kung ano nga ba ang K to 12, ang batang limang taong gulang ay maari ng pumasok bilang kindergarten at matututo ito sa pinaka basic, ang nakasanayan niyang mother tongue, dito mula simple natututo ang bata hanggang sa komplikadong paksa, may sapat na oras para matutuhan niyang mabuti ang bawat leksyon, sa K to 12, ang mga subjects ay konektado sa bawat isa at nakaintegrated na from grade 7 to 10. Pagdating sa grade 11 at grade 12, the subjects fall under either the Core Curriculum or specific Career Pathways. Sa core curriculum, mas bibigyang diin ang mga subjects na humanities, language, philosophy at iba para sa paghahanda sa magandang unibersidad na naghihintay sa yo. Ang isa naman ay ang carrer pathways, maari siyang mamili sa business, entrepreneurship, technical-vocational at iba pa. pag natapos ito ng grade 10, makakakuha siya ng certificate of competency o ang national certificate level I. at pag natapos niya nag technical vocation track sa grade 12 makakakuha naman siya ng NC II. Ang NC I at NC II ay pwedeng gamitin sa pag employ o pagpasok sa trabahong may-kaugnayan sa agrikultura, elektroniks at trade.
Kaya kayong mga kabataan,mag aral kayong mabuti, masakit sa tenga dahil paulit ulit, ngunit ito’y inyong ikabubuti. Alam ko na parte ng pagdadalaga at pagbibinata ang pagtibok ng puso, ngunit gawin natin itong inspirasyon. Mahirap makipagsabayan sa totoong mundo maniwala ka. Kaya kelanganan mong maghanda. Unahin mo muna ang pag-aaral, pag nakatapos ka, mas madaming better man, kang makikita. Mas masarap ata ang pakiramdam ng manligaw at magpaligaw sa tituladong tao o may natapos.
Sa mga magulang, kung may natutuhan ako sa pagpapalaki sa akin ng aking ama at ina ay yung hindi nila itinatago ang hirap na nararanasan nila sa akin. Alam ko kung saan galing ang bawat sentimo na pinapadala nila na pambayad ng matrikula ko. at dahil dun, natuto akong pahalagahan ang bawat paghihirap nila at ibinigay ng buong buo ang nararapat na sukli ng bawat pawis at paghihirap nila. And I know how proud they are na may isang Registered Nurse na silang anak ngayon.
Hindi ko sinasabi na patirahin nyo sa barong- barong ang iyong anak, hindi. Pwede nyo siyang patirahin sa mala-palasyong bahay, pahigahin sa malambot na kama, pakainin ng masasarap na pagkain, pero hayaan mo siyang humawak ng walis at magwalis, ng basahan at magpunas, at hugasan ang mga plato, hindi dahil sa nagtitipid kayo at walang pambayad sa katulong, hindi, you will let them understand that no matter how rich you were, your hair will definitely turns to gray. Kelangan mong iparanas kung paano maghirap at gaano kahirap kunin ang isang bagay, dahil dito matututo ang bata pahalagahan at i-appreciate ang bagay na meron siya. KASTOY DAK NGA INSURO ken PINADAKKEL TI NAGANNAK KO.
Mapalad kayo mga batang mag- aaral dahil dito kayo pinag aral ng inyong mga magulang, dahil sa TSAESI dito ako nahubog bilang isang magaling at mabuting mag aaral,at alam kong hindi ako nahirapan sa aking pag aaral sa high school at college dahil sa magandang paaralan ako nag simula,maganda ang aking foundation sa aking pag uumpisa..Mga magulang,hindi kayo nagkamali na in-enrol ang inyong mga anak sa TSAESI, at proud akong sabihin sa inyong lahat na ako ay isang produkto ng TSAESI…
Sa aking mga magulang,salamat po sa inyo….
Congratulations, you raised me well.
At sa lahat ng magulang,Congratulations dahil alam kong magiging mabuti at magiging mabait ang inyong mga anak ,dahil andito sila sa TSAESI….
Maraming salamat po.

The Gift of Insults
There once lived a great warrior. Though quite old, he still was able to defeat any challenger. His reputation extended far and wide throughout the land and many students gathered to study under him.
One day an infamous young warrior arrived at the village. He was determined to be the first man to defeat the great master. Along with his strength, he had an uncanny ability to spot and exploit any weakness in an opponent. He would wait for his opponent to make the first move, thus revealing a weakness, and then would strike with merciless force and lightning speed. No one had ever lasted with him in a match beyond the first move. Much against the advice of his concerned students, the old master gladly accepted the young warrior’s challenge.
As the two squared off for battle, the young warrior began to hurl insults at the old master. He threw dirt and spit in his face. For hours he verbally assaulted him with every curse and insult known to mankind. But the old warrior merely stood there motionless and calm. Finally, the young warrior exhausted himself. Knowing he was defeated, he justify feeling shamed.
Somewhat disappointed that he did not fight the insolent youth, the students gathered around the old master and questioned him. “How could you endure such an indignity? How did you drive him away?”
“If someone comes to give you a gift and you do not receive it,” the master replied, “to whom does the gift belong?”
