Quality Improvements? Why Not?

Image
It's really great that I am improving my quality each and every day. In this livestreaming that I had, I explained some things that I want to improve with myself in light of the COVID-19 crisis, and also how will I take my online presence to a whole new level.

I am Meant for Something More

Image
In the confinements of home For quite some time, I am trying to cope with the changes coming my way as I transition from teacher to trainer and freelancer. As the "summer" term comes in the way for our school, only a number of teachers will be given a teaching load, and I am one of those teachers who won't be given load this year. As such, I will have to make do with this time to not only earn money but continue learning. I have been contemplating on making freelancing my priority career path in the next few months. I want to see if freelancing indeed works for me compared to my full-time teaching. Why? With the COVID-19 situation still lingering, I am very confident that working from home will be the norm, and I feel that with the circumstances I have, my career as an educator will not be sustainable in the long run. Honestly, having a work background that was based around being an office cubicle, and later on, having contact with 30 to 40 students at any giv

Remembering Victoria Plaza: The Jingle

Image
It's been three years since I left Park 'N Shop - Victoria Plaza, my former workplace before I became a teacher. All those memories working at the mall surely gave me a liking of how has it been since it was purchased by NCCC. And with that, allow me to give a piece of memory from this humble place - it's famous jingle. For those who can't clearly remember the lyrics, here they are: Let's go and take the family To the plaza that has it all So easy at Victoria All is here for everyone Food, fashion, shops, games, and shows It's the place where your dreams come true So convenient at Victoria Victoria Plaza, the plaza for all! ---------------- This jingle was played on specific times during the business day: during the opening time (usually at 10:00 AM), 12:00 noon, 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and at closing time (normally at 8:00PM or at 12:00 midnight during a Midnight Sale). I used to inspect and maintain the supermarket and mall's CCTV and P

Buhay Guro: The Students On My First Year of Teaching.

Image
I've turned 3 years as a teacher at Joji Ilagan (aptly referred as JIB). Parang kailan lang akong umalis sa dati kong trabaho  then I landed here where I met not a handful but a lot  of students. Different personalities, different levels of learning, and different levels of kagandahan (talaga lang ha?!). Well, let me describe each class or section of students I encountered so far these 10 months of teaching. (By the way, just to let you know, the way we name batches of students are quite unique here. We name BS Tourism Management sections after airlines. We name BS Hotel and Restaurant Management sections after spices. And we name our senior high school sections after hotel chains.) The above picture is me with the BS Tourism Management students of section "Qantas-Lufthansa" (Batch 2014) who are, as of this writing, fourth year students. They took COMED 6 (C++ Programming) in that particular semester. For me C++ was the most difficult subject I ever taught, for
