Nairah Macadatar, 3rd honorable mention

Normilla Mangorangca, 2nd honorable mention

Hasmen Mangayao, 1st honorable mention

Sohaila Logi, Salutaturian
Normida Colo, Valedictorian

This is another challenge in my career as a head. The deliberation for the honor roles took us to stay in the conference room for one day. We invited parents to avoid a second hand information. With them, the this purpose run smoothly. The valedictorian and the salutatorian differed in about .47 only. Alas, the tie was broken.
This inch to inch deliberation required us to scan all the records of the students from one until twenty. We end up to have the top five and the rest were students with honor.
We were sad to realized that the among the top, there were students who did not make it on the Scholarships (MSU SASE) given by Mindanao State University main Campus. As a Public School, we must try our best to make the students ready for their College Education. The place that we have will really help if they can be accommodated in the said University. Generally the income of the people here is very low. Going to Public Schools will help them for their College Education. We have the best result for this year for we have 60% passers. In the coming years, we expect more professional Alumni that heals from our school.

Congratulations to the students and the parents. HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

We salute the parents for their understanding and cooperation in this affair. They stay for a day in the school since the part I of the program was the selections of Muses, king and queen and other complementary awards. The school's management decided to have the awards given earlier in order for them to enjoy their sash and crown. It was successful ended. I like the smiles on the faces of the parents and guardians. The looke3d like they wanted to steal every moments of their children. They were inspired to keep every giggles and winks of their children's eyes. How adorable, as if the day was hold to end that required to be extended for another day. If every parents will be like the same, all schoolers who gone to high school will like to remember every moment of thier days in school. Congratulations to the parents who have a heart to let them.

In a way that all students in High School are tired of carrying their notebooks and books, the Juniors and Seniors Day marked an unforgettable day in their lives. This is the day that they will be saying goodbye to to their childhood days, welcoming the their early adulthood.

We can see students rushing to have the most beautiful wears for the day. For the Barrio High Schools like ours, we lost the essence of calling this as a pleasant night for the our students. We fail to feed them the beauty of the night during JS promenade for the time never permit. The peace and order do not grant, that is why parents do not agree to have the same at night. We always observed the day at day time. But, the interest of the students do not deteriorate. The all have the the merriment for the day.

What made these students laughs and giggles? These were the chances of showing for the first time that they were ended handsome, pretty and beautiful. These were the time to prove their ability to portray who the are and what they have. Oh! what a pleasant mode to imagine. By just seeing them could reminds us for and with our memories in high school.For a moments we felt the warmness in our hearts and whispered who we were in our high school before.

More over, who must be the lucky heart that will be free to judge with their beauties and their whole being. Perhaps, before the day, they will be imagining who must be that classmates or may be school mates.The preparations of both male and female must not fail. As they walked around the hall, the heart bit so fast. They rejoice that that everything is a strange. They felt like princes and princesses. Foe once, they glance their dream girls and boys, we knew!

In our school, the events started during the Intramural, which the founding Anniversary of our school was observed. Everybody boosted to show their unique talent in different events. Some became champions while other became losers. What ever chances they have in the events made them comfortable and have prove they ended have talents. Losers can try it next time.

The Principal Goes to Davao

2009-12-28T15:40:00.000-08:00

This orientation program was about the computization program in all secondary Public schools, package with internet activation. ICT as I understand is an Information Communication Technology by the DepEd to upgrade the studets and the public teachers as well. The society we have now is bounded by experts and latest technology that the DepEd wanted to feed the same to all concerned in this area of learning.

Sir Mari Paul lectured on various information and the advantages of the ICT program.

Sir John Mc Casio was one of our very live facilitator. He attracted all the particpants with his relevant jokes and lectures. Dizziness and stressed were all gone. Hola to you Sir!

On the second day of our program which we viewed our ICT T-shirts to our facilitator. Nice job! Congrats to these Batches. We were two batches at once who were set for the same date The ARMM Region and the Region XI.

Some queries were asked to the Secretariat and that included my clarifications regarding this program Some tasks were provided to the recipients which includes the preparation of the Laboratory room. Wow! What a hardest tasked. We must provide two 2h power air conditions, 44 chairs, two stand fans, 11 computer's tables and the last is the room. What a lingering task. I should try in order for my students and the members of the faculty be afforded with these 11 computer units.

Wow! Ma'am Elsie was so patient listening to my questions about the funding of our laboratory room as our counter parts. According to them, if we are provided, we must initiate efforts to counter the the units so that we are encourage to care both. The said funding must be from the initiative of the school principal supported by the local government and the community. The PTCA or Parents Teachers and Community Associations acn have the their very important role as organizers. Our leadership will be tested again. This must be realized. The Government and the DepEd in particular have tried and so we must.

On the first day of our program, some of the participant were unstable foe we have just arrived from our area of arigin. To travel in 11 hours was a story to remember. Something that required much importance in our diaries. Yet the aches were bearable and so we listen to the morning lecturers.
The registration and arrival time. Some participants rush to register. After the distribution of kits, every one find their place.

Once career always calls for a hundred percent attentions of one. I, being fully loaded for a family problem can never say no to my commitment at school. I can't even define how I can move and decide about the case of one of my sons, the problem enclosing me further. Still on the stage of my medical treatment, I have to treat another serious problem instead. My health remained deteriorating especially now that financial capacity of our family became low.

I should have stayed in another planet, I complained, but is there another place for a mother like me whose existence never given peace. But my responsibility as a mother can never be deligated nor be authorize to anybody. This is the reason why I suffered from depression. I should have asked God, but my life today is just an extension that i have asked for the sake of my family and the school that remain still hanging. The only solution which lingers to my mine could be a disadvantage and may require eternally. If I can be exempted from these, perhaps a permanent life that take me to rest forever.

Another life could be another way, but I can ponder how every thing goes in order. This continuous medication of mine cannot be predicted whether it succeed or failed. It seems I prefer to be forever away rather to open my innocent eyes and leave things to impossible. God must have given me these tasks to strengthen my life. I should have appreciate them all. For this time, I must survive and take every diversity in my career and my family. No one could lend a hand and have him responsible. I must prefer my self instead.

When I went to Davao for an orientation I was temporarily cured and forget other side of my problem. Some of our facilitator were live and deliver their tasks interesting. I am posting some of their memorable photos with me and the others.

I Hardly Can Define an Admiration from First Love

2009-02-20T03:03:00.000-08:00

This was an inspirational message that I delivered to my

Juniors and Seniors, Batch of 2009, last February 14.

Because this month of February is known among

young men and women to be Heart’s Day, most

specifically every 14^th day of the month, I share

them one of my best love story in life…my early

childhood story.

I was in Grade VI that time with the same month.

I received my first love letter from our Class

Valedictorian, a consistent valedictorian from

Grade I to VI. Some of us admire his extra talent,

hence I was not an exemption to it. I admire him

ever since, from the way he speak down to his way of

dressing. To be simple, I like every thing about him.

But when I received his letter, I got lost and cannot

define my mode. I feel the world trembling and

for an eagerness to discover the contents of it,

I hid the letter under my skirt and ran to the

School’s comfort room. I read the whole text

of the letter. What more to be found except

admiration from my simple beauty and being

friendly. I am a talented too, he spelled out!

But, I know I cannot bit him. At the bottom

of his letter…P.S. Please don’t fail to reply!

From the day I received his letter to date,

we never speak to each other. That was 1970

and our next acquaintance after our

Elementary Graduations was in 1988.

We happened to be in one Pediatric Clinic

and met every month for our child’s monthly

immunizations. But we never speak. I found out

from his wife that he is a license Engineer

married to the same Profession. They have

four children and I have three. The distance

that hindered us from our oldest trend were

his six letters that never acquired reply

from me. We were best friends then,

but since the date that I received his

first letter, I feel betrayed and I never

try to talk to him.

As I grew older, I understand that my

closeness to him then was a mere admiration

and not love. I understand to love always

finds its way, but I never did. As days

passed by, I found out that when we love

a person, his name sounds like music to

our ears and lingers even to a distance of

three layers walls. I feel confused because

after that six letters that I received from

him, my next lovers and more lovers seems

not original when they used to reasons

out how they like and being in love with

me. Majority of them all end up in expressing

that I am beautiful and very friendly.

Some words were not new to me any more.

My elementary admirer has said that

already, and therefore, I already

know that I am beautiful.

I’ve been in love for the first time too,

but when I tried to weigh the two, I

have lots of memories in my elementary

admirers because of his originality.

It is to him that I found that I am

really beautiful. If any one could found

this writing, I would like to invite their

attentions and please correct me if I

defined the two in a proper manner.

Though my anecdote in my early childhood

same funny, but it leaves a memory in my heart.

At the end of my speech because, this was an

inspirational message, I advise them not decide

hastily when dealing with a friend. Observe finely,

don’t be in a hurry in handling your true

feeling. You might misunderstand why she is too

close to you. She might just admire you for

what you are and not a lover and may cause

to lose her permanently, like mine.

The coming of the Junors and Seniors Promenade

happy new year to all my beloved readers! I hope to serve you too soon....am still sick

Pretty Good

2008-12-05T05:20:00.000-08:00

I've been dreaming to rest from my rigid tasks in teaching. The moment I have such, I cannot feel the beauty of the world for I really cannot make. I've been sick since last October and this brought me to visit my Doctor in Cebu City. A higher amount have been spent for my recovery and still I'm weak to do my tasks in my blogs. My absence do not mean that I am lazy to make but I really missed my blogs as the are part of my world. I hop[e I can make again. This will cause for my temporary absence.

When Shall be the Dawn of Tomorrow

2008-11-02T20:25:00.000-08:00

One roar of Motorcycle followed by numbers of Philippine Army Trucks and Army Tanks of not less than 10 or not more than 60, mothers tried to put on pillows on the heads of their children in order for them not to account the Government Forces that passes by in our community. We were on the affected area but not in the combat zone. Hours after the roars, the bombs control our very sense of hearing. Mothers can no longer put pillows in the heads of their children. The magnitude rang like an intensity of earthquake. Birds flew away from their sanctuary as chickens quaked. The scene was true for animals used for faming. They tried to pull off roofs that controlled them into the pasture. Perhaps, they have already this lesson that suspended the lives of other animals. Numbers of them have lost their lives in the hands of the Government Army. That was why they can recognize the familiar sounds of bombs.

One of our students confessed about the misfortune of his favorite horse which used to carry him in its back until his high school days. They cannot define the quaking of their chickens when the Government Army torched on their houses and group their horses, died instantly when they were fired by the same forces. It was a surprised for them for the combat zone was in the other province and not in their province. The man that the Army is hunting into was more than 20 kilometers away from this Barangay, though the two Province are adjacent with each other. It is unbelievable for them to be affected. They want to shout and deny that they were not for he saw his cousins fired when they tried to save their horses. His mother attempted to cool him off, explaining the extreme dawn of the day and it is not fine to keep awake. At his age, he knew he need not wait for the dawn for he lost his only horse which will bring him to school. The boy burst with tears as he remembered the last day with his horse.

I recall, this student has two sets of suit in a day. He separated one for school. He used to leave this horse away from the school vicinity, fearing to be the laughing stock of other students. He will be seeing his horse again in the afternoon upon dismissal. I cannot hold myself but cried too. He asked to be exempted in the second periodical examinations for he lost all his concentrations in taking the test. I did not allow him to be exempted for it is not fair for the rest of the class. I advise him to go home early and rest. When his worries subsided, I will be waiting for him and provide the special examinations instead. With a harsh voice, he whispered that he cannot promise for his comeback for there is no dawn for tomorrow any longer. I shook his shoulder and assured him that there is always dawn in a day as there is dawn in tomorrow. For me…the dawn is the time which I bring my horse to an early pasture for I will be riding on it for school. Before he went to school, the horse must be feed, he seconded. I understand his feeling. The dawn he was referring to is the pastoral time he used with his horse. I cannot account the same sentiments as there are more of our students who confessed their experiences, anecdotes and nightmares since the war begin.

I was left alone, counting every ring of the school bell until I forget my two subject assignments in the morning. I tried to account how many more students will I missed if the war continues. We have more than two dozens of them who asked for conditional absence. They have common reasons…it is the war. Some parents came to see me and asked for the best security we can provide if ever but I decline to declare for I know I cannot. For a situation like this, the parents prevail in deciding for their children. We as mentors can just sit and wait for any students who will come for schooling. Though majority of our students still come, but I was carried by the few who failed to move toward because of the hostilities. We can assure the best security at school but we cannot guarantee to and from school. Most of them were in remote places that safety measures do not warrant. We reminded them for their uniforms and Identification Card for it distinguishes from government enemies. I know it is not enough that is why I did not promise.

The variance begun last August and we do not know when it ended. No one can predict for every time the two forces recognize the other as enemy, there will always conflict, as the dawn for tomorrow is too long to shine for those affected by their magnitude

The Importance of Modifying an Audience

2008-10-28T06:59:00.000-07:00

Having phobia on the on going conflict between the Arm Forces of the Philippines and the Bangsamoro Army, the School principal disseminate some precautionary measures and defensive technique on how to skip the variance. After the Flag Ceremony, she brought the students into attention. The students were silence and attentive in waiting for her declaration.

Principal: The on going clashes with the Arm Forces of the Philippines and the Bangsamoro is thing about we must consider. I want you to stay in the campus. Did you see that bill board under the Marang tree?

Students: Yes Ma’am…!

Principal: What is that?

Students: Ma’am, “NO LOITERING”!

Principal: Very Good! That means, you must be inside the school campus! Are you aware of the recent inconsistency?

Students: Yes Ma’am!

Principal: Can you tell me? Any body, five points for a good answer!

Student: Ma’am, the difference between the Arm Forces of the Philippines and the Bagsamoro Army!

Principal: and then…?

Students: (in chorus) War!

Principal: Alright, since you are too young to understand, let me directs you to some security measures. Consider this flag to be your base. You sit under the shade of our National Flag, the Flag of the Philippines. If you do, INSHA= ALLAH, you will stay unharmed. Both Combatants will recognize you as Law Abiding citizen. Do not forget, “sit under the shade of the Philippine Flag. You can now report to your respective Classroom.

The principal enters to her office and prepare for her instructional materials. As she go through with her first group of students in that day, she found few who are not around. She started to check the attendance when one student raised her hand and say, “Ma’am, others are still outside!” She instructed the same to call her classmates in order for them to begin.

After a while, the student came rushing. She reported on the others refusal to enter in their classroom. The later are afraid to get in, for they are scared of soldiers. With out verifying further, the principal rushed and ordered to search every classroom to check on the presence of what the students were alarmed of soldiers. They checked every corners of the room and found nothing to be alarmed in.

The principal returned to the Flagpole and face the students calmly. With a tone of low voice, she asked the remaining students what made them stay under the sun, guarding the flying flag. One very shy student answered that, again they were afraid of soldiers. But… who told you there are? The principal ask slowly. I will be giving bonus for the first student who will provide me the best information about your fear, said the principal. The students answered almost in chorus and said…You say it just now! We must sit under the shade of the flag to remain unharmed! The poor principal scratched her head, twisting her neck for she was punished by herself. The announcement was made clear but interpreting about sitting under the shade of the Philippine Flag was too meaningful that mere High School students cannot understands for it requires number of books to define it fully.

The principal was slightly wrong when she uses meaningful lines to an audience that ranges from 12-15. She mistook the audience to be a group of Lawyers or Journalists. Perhaps the said school official was in a hurry to bring the school away from the present conflicts. That was why she was not able to evaluate her audience. The students concerned must be thankful to their school principal.

This concerned me a lot. When I am giving lectures and advise to my students, I always see to it that the words I spelled will not spoil their younger mind. I rather used words of comparisons than contrasts. Using contrast might not be visible to them. We may rotten their sense of silence and keep the opposite.

The sensitivity of the variance today requires careful approach when imparting to the young generations. They are not supposed to misunderstand the conflicts for we might be putting them at risked. They are our hope, because when everything subsided, we need their support in any form. Let us protect the young, as we mentors see the magnitude of the students to prop up in the near future. They may be are significance to hold up our objectives as Bangsamoro.

Extending Management Stress

2008-10-19T02:22:00.000-07:00

The Division Office has scheduled the Incoming Math Challenge for all Year Level; Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Seniors. The said Math Challenge is scheduled last October 18. Prior to the said date the school management, students and teachers anticipate the said challenge and do the school screening for the said competition. In two weeks, the students selected for the affair were set and were exempted from their regular classes. This was done to give ways to their simple reviews, orientations and pointers.

The school participants were set and were ready to take any challenge. They may not be the best but at least they came prepared and have tried their best for it. A sad news was sent late to all Secondary Schools. . .It was miscommunication, because the said schedule was given late. The said competition was supposed to to be held in Iligan City. The names of participants must have selected and done well before the given date

It was really a bad news for us who tried to prepare. Nobody was sent to the said challenge for the the Division Office has not met with the requirements. They were supposed to select through school Competitions before securing the names of those students who qualify. To make it short, no one qualify for no selections was done.

We hope, the Division office must have the best knowledge of knowing the sequence and the procedure the next time they will require every school for participants. I dislikes the idea of being sorry for we cannot afford to say sorry to our students who their best to try even a single questions of the said competitions.

The practice of disseminating wrong information will give management stress to any school who wish to participate in this affair.

Science Quest

2008-10-09T14:26:00.000-07:00

The the Division of Lanao del Sur I-B, announces its Science Quest the Day before the competition. This said quest will be conducted in the Division office for both the Elementary and High School level, a very congested place for almost a hundred participants.

For this school to comply with this requirements, we sent 8 students, divided equally to all year level according to their academic performance.Although we hate the way they handled wit this serious affair but we have to comply. We attended on the said competition without preparations. It seems, we were testing on the performance of these students and punishing them at once.

The competition started with the elimination round that automatically eliminated our two students, leaving us only two representatives. The Division office allowed only four representative, meaning one student for each year level. After the average level, we have only one representative left. Sohaila Logi fight to the very end. We really do not make it.

The way the Division office organize the situation, it discouraged school principals and teachers. The day before the competition, the announce the said affair, giving no time to prepare. I should have decline but it could be in superiority in nature, so I did not try. I hope, this said approach will not happen again. We were expecting this to be announce in month or even months before the competition. We can generalized that the affair was haphazardly done. I dislike it.

The End of Ramadan Represent the Unity of the Bangsamoro

2008-09-29T19:26:00.000-07:00

With the Symbolic unity of the Bangsamoro, the Holy month of Ramadan ends today, September 30, 2008. The Ulama and the local government officials of Marawi City, Lanao del Norte unite each other and hold their Id’l Fitr prayer at Quizon Avenue, most popularly known as “Banggolo” for Dansalan people. This represents the historic unity of the Bangsamoro, as the Holy month ended with out peace. They believe that this will enable them more blessings as they unite for their prayer of peace and solidarity.

The first line of the observers started at the head of the old Banggolo bridged, and ended at Land bank, or the Bato Masjeed. Both young and old of these City including other Muslims who intends to pray in mass come to observe the said Id’l Fitr prayer. Muslims believe that some individuals who seek for a common purpose are more blessed than a few. This encouraged them to come in group. Early at dawn, the rain pour gently giving all the plants to shower and bathe itself as the Muslims take an early bathe early in the morning. The birds hummed as they failed too take their early vocation instead they aligned themselves as they watch on the sacred affair. They knew that this crowed is harmless in nature.

The Holy month bid goodbye to all Muslims in the world, freeing them for any restrictions but leave morale to observers. It is a 29 day of total discipline including their mind and hearts. It does refined their heart and found themselves unharmed from abstaining foods and drinks. What remains is the fear of peace and order. It leaves a question of uncertainty. Are the bombshells that showers every day in their life, week before the Holy month will go on with? No one can predict, but this actually the message of their Id’l Fitr prayer. ALLAH (s.w.t.) IS MOST MERCIFUL AND KIND, we know ALLAH provided us all his protection and mercy…AMEEN!

Students’ Unpromising Adieu

2008-09-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

It’s more than two weeks that I’m fighting from stressed. The problem is with in me. I cannot give accurate health complain the two meeting with my Internist Specialist. I cannot speak on where particular pain I am suffering to. With my short summary, I confessed, I actually do not know which, but I know I am tired. I did not say a word when she find objectionable in my personality. As usual, she prescribed me two kinds of vitamins and my hypertensive medicine.

I cannot clarify to her that I am worrying so many things and these include my decision on suspending our classes. The conflicts that I refuse to disclose in this writing feed me much reservations. If I will do, I am impairing their studies. To the contrary, if I do not, I might keep them in risks. I cannot decide for the best.

Finally….the point of no return according to some writer. I cannot hold clashes that happen in our locality. We might be caught in between, so I organize significantly. This is to minimize any vulnerability of the issue. I called on all my teachers, I superlatively advised them to send their students to the safest place. I instructed them further, to direct their students and come back after Id’l Fitr. The students understand that this a rushed decision, far from their expectations. Holidays are distant that we must have a hard time that is why we untimely send them for vacation. They screamed as if they fear from isolation. The teachers have to explain further, exemplifying hope for their return. I did not say a word, as I have not yet recovered from stressed.

When their teacher returned to wait for the next instructions, I immediately initiate to group the students according to origin. Those who came from south must go in group, for a safest return. The other groups follow the same approach together with their adviser, seeing them to the safest place. The groups of student together with their advisers departed in the portal of the school compound. I am left alone, thinking when they are coming back. My heart breaks when I witness them all moved out for untimely dismissal. Only ALLAH (s.w.t) can tell when can be a promising time for a probable resumption of classes.

That day is today, at about 10 in the morning…when the time of the day is too young for a student to go home. I know they are not alone. There are so many students who went home at the wrong time. If the variance will continue, how many more students go home untimely?

Ramadan-Al Kareem (Quote on a Daughter’s Diary)

2008-09-17T04:07:00.000-07:00

Being refined with the reminders and reading about a love for mother, the Ramadan-Al Kareem breaks the silence of each and every Muslim who lightly put parents to the queuing lines of their priorities. As this diary was scan inside a daughter’s diary, the writer expects to cling this to the heart of every Muslim who lost their parents before and in this Holy month.

The Quest of Sobbing Daughter

Daughter: Oh mother dear, can you see me?

Mother: Of course I can, the most beautiful daughter, I am hugging tightly and clinging doubted

on to my shoulders…

Daughter: Yes I know, but not any more. I feel like protected by the wall of China! And I love

you for that.

Mother: But I failed to remember when was my last hugged? Is that huge blanket I used to be yours every night clean?

Daughter: (Silence won her mode and kept on nodding and crying, recalling when was her last hug too). Do you still remember that stuff?

Mother: You must be using that for your girl too…

Daughter: Can you hear me now, mother?

Mother: It’s you that has a cry of increasing tone that cause me to panic. My knees have many times banged on the stairs…

Daughter: (Sobbing loudly as the world closes to her. She thought of times her knees were bit into the door when her mother cried for water). Look mother! I brought to you a very nice dress. You should be using this for this Holy month.

Mother: I have more of that in the cabinet. Go come and have them or you may have them for those who need best dresses in this Holy month, but keep the nice one. I always buy you a nice dress.

Daughter: But you must wear this one, so you can see and hear me. I even cook delicious foods for you.

Mother: I have plenty of foods. Take your meal while the soup is hot. I cook your favorite delicacy. Have find any in the table?

Daughter: (She cannot longer hold her feeling and cried out loud. The people around were sobbing, for they cannot think of other way. She was reminded of all cares that her mother have before. She asked herself of the time she cooked delectable meal for her mother. Having no record of any, she screamed). I will be cooking your favorites from time on, but please open your eyes and see who these people around. They are all eager to have the best food for you.

Mother: (With a mysterious grin, and wipe her face to change her position. She left-up her left hand and turn to the right.)

Daughter: (Anticipating for end, she held the hand so tightly and grabbed to catch the last breath. She kissed her as her mother threw her meaningful smile. Her hand felt down and the daughter was brought outside unconscious)

Such is the scene of mother in the dying bed. We like to show all our comfort, our care, love and concern but faded as the memory of one failed. A person in the dying bed became pain- least, the world seems flat that cannot hear your whisper, the beat of your heart, the deepness of cry, the sense of hug, the loudness of scream and the sobs you inclined. If you are lucky to have any mother or a father, now is the time for all those. Find them the most delicious foods in the world you can afford. They need it now, more than ever. Share them your success, they long for it. Show them your fabulous smile, they treasure it. Your parents are the persons who love to listens the story of wonder and the joys you have ever.

HAVE YOU VISITED HER………………

The Smoke of War Extend Beyond My Book

2008-09-13T19:43:00.000-07:00

These were the
students of
yesterday,
so jolly and
active. and
today...we
became fewer.
Where will we
find the other?

The day after
tomorrow, we
were fewer!
and this
school will
be a haunted
place!

It was Monday morning, 25^th day of August which my early vocation

of the day has been set. Since my day in teaching, I always see to it that

my schedule will be in the morning. I dislikes the afternoon session for I

refuse to see the eyes of students with mixed feeling of going home and

the point which their interest started to exhaust. I prepare two lessons that day.

I provided one for my Elementary Algebra, another for Geometry

while I scheduled my Advance Algebra for an evaluation test. Our lesson in

Elementary Algebra requires a review on “Addition of like and Unlike Signs”.

Adding like signs will always give positive result, regardless of its signs.

Positive and a positive resulted to positive, likewise negative and a

negative signs still provide a positive answer. As for the Geometry,

I have a review on adjacent angles to integrate it to the introduction of

quadrilaterals. I made it clear to the student that any adjacent angles

is always a supplementary angles, hence, regardless of its degrees the

two angles share a to a total of 180 degrees.

I pack-up my bag after a glass of coffee’ with milk and a pair of slice bread,

I rushed to our old-wheels that shuttle to our Barrio High National

High School. I was expecting to be a bit earlier than my students,

but I was wrong. When I enter in the classroom, I found them all set

to take the early lessons. I wrote on the blackboard the rules on

“addition of like and unlike sign”. I situated my writing on the rear side

of the blackboard to give more space for illustrations and discussions. I limit

my illustrations into four, since adding like signs required examples on

adding negative and a negative equals positive and adding positive equals

positive too, while unlike signs need examples on adding negative and a

positive equals negative, another on addition of positive and a negative

equals to negative also. To make this clear let us observe these

mathematical presentations;

Addition of like signs:

1.) -(-)=+

2.) +(+)=+

Addition of Unlike signs:

1.) –(+)=-

2.) +(-)=-

I started my discussions as clear as my writings. I tried to convince them

that any opposing idea will never gives positive result, like the addition of

unlike signs. “YES MA’AM!” They chanted in chorus as if my ears drop

its drums. ” VERY GOOD!” I seconded. Then how about the like signs, I asked.

One student was so very shy and said… Ma’am, you said before that a

negative number is not a counting numbers for they are not natural numbers,

how are the two negative numbers become positive? I paused for a while

and think on the question. It is a very smart question that I cannot think

for an immediate answer. In the first place I plan to give it as an assignment

to give ways for my advance research. But I am too shy to play this as an alibi.

Alas! I have a clue! I invite their attention and listen for awhile for were

almost done with our discussions. I started to explain and walk from the

right corner of the blackboard and pause when I arrive on the rear end.

Class, negative numbers are extension of natural numbers, I exaggerate!

But another smart student debated me that these negative numbers can be

used in scaling that goes below zero such as temperature. If the temperature

is below zero, that person is dead, and how should two death became positive.

It is another intellectual question but I have enough to answer it. The answer

is simple, I uttered, death is natural, which prove that negative is an extension

of natural numbers. A student on the left corner who did not understand the

flow of the discussions said, Ma’am! There is many natural numbers in

Udalo! (the war zone since August 24, between Piagapo Lanao del Sur

and Munai Lanao del Norte) I became damned and cannot remember my

last tone. I closed my class record and announce the early break time. I advise

them to come back on time, because the next teacher will keep waiting.

I mingled with my fellow teachers who were busy discussing with the number

of casualties in the same place. Classes in all level, both high school and

elementary has been suspended. We were the only school who handle their

regular classes. We cannot suspend the classes for the “National College

Admission examination will be given on the 27^th of the same month. We

have only two days to wait, except, we will be handling review on the said

Examination to the Senior Students who will take on the said date. Although

the smoke of the war extends beyond our books, but the welfare of the

students will be much affected. We cannot decide otherwise. I confessed

my new anecdote in my freshman students, but they supported the jokes

and agreed that there are really many natural numbers in the said place,

meaning many died in the combat zone.

I pick-up my lesson plan for Geometry and exit to forget the issue. Right

after a few touched on the past lessons, I drew a line intersected by another

line and asked the students what does this line means. One student answered

loudly and said it forms two angles and the same are adjacent angles.

That is correct! I cheered! Can you explain further? As I point on another

student. Then the student answered…Ma’am, an adjacent angles are

supplementary angles! Well done! I clap my hands. Can you give a particular

example? Like a supplementary angles that we are discussing now! Another

student volunteered. Ma’am! She proudly ushered, Udalo and Radapan are adjacent barangay,Therefore, they are supplementary angles equals to 180 degrees.

The Barangay Udalo evacuated and so did Radapan, they shared 180 degrees

of the war, she added. The line of the Arm Forces of the Philippines intersected

the line of the Bangsamoro Army, forming two angles so that the two adjacent

Barangay unequally acquired the degrees of the war. Thus, the degrees affect

the two and make the people to evacuate. Oh! Dear ALLAH! My two lessons

never give morale to keep for these scared students. Their minds were filled with

the smoke of the war! I have no comment to share but I instead shed tears

and went out side of the room.

Before the morning session ended, series of bang! Another bang! Another bang

again! My students were nowhere to find! They run as fast as they can, and

I did not tend to catch them I cannot make it! I enter in the faculty Room and

cried so loud that I did not notice the other faculties who cried in chorus. The

powerful weapon was just two kilometers away from our school. The machine

gun was operated in the Hail side of the nearest University. The smoke and

the sounds hurt our ears. We don’t know where to find a safest place. The gun

seems to bang our head, tough it was not. Fear accommodates our heart. We

don’t know whom to save, although the victim was unknown. We were certain

there were some, but we don’t know who they are. Fear, confusions and a

mixed feeling of anger, but we don’t know whose to blame.

The following day, I report for office work to check my students. Who were

safe and who may not. Thanks to the mercy of ALLAH! They were all clearly

safe but only some report for school and the few never show-up until this writing

is made. I cannot afford to think such harmony in school which turned out to

be horror. I cannot open my book for it entails a memory of the past. The

memories that keeps my heart to hold all the hands of my students, but I

was not able to reach them. They scattered in every corner of the school to

secure themselves. Finally, they went home with out taking my warnings.

Such is the pictures of scared students.

We are the students and teachers in this Combat Zone. We carried in our

books but the smoke of the war extended beyond! Can we have a chance

to interpret other expressions and terms other than the smoke of the war?

How will our lives as students and educators move without been pricked by

its thorn…

YA ALLAH! SAVE OUR MISSION IN LIFE. WE ARE YOUR

SERVANT WHO SAT UNDER YOUR MERCY!

The 6thday of Ramadan

2008-09-06T04:43:00.000-07:00

The month of Ramadan is a festivity of fruits and vegetable. After the As'r prayer (3pm), mothers are busy preparing for the break of fast. Some were inclined for the fruit salad. I think this is ideal because the day past with the absence of foods, hence soft foods are recommended. We prepare to have more vegetable to feel what was hard in missing delectable foods.
We are purely a Maranaw-Muslim and we feel the spirit of this month. From early part of dawn we try to fill our demand for foods. After Subuh prayer (prayer at dawn), we return to sleep and wake up at 7am. This to start our vocation of the day. we adjusted every thing, including our schedule at school and the start of our family business fo the day.
For this time, we were bit upset on the peace and order as it started week before the Holy month. We just hope this to end to give chance on affected areas. Though we are affected but we pity fellow Muslim who were not able to observe the Holy month at their home, rather to the evacuation center...HAPPY rAMADAN AL- MUBARRAK!

Advance Happy Ramadhan To All

2008-08-29T23:53:00.000-07:00

All Muslim in the world will be observing the HOLY MONTH OF RAMADHAN next week or the month of September.

I am Greeting all Muslims In the world..

Happy Ramadhan in Advance

One is not Enough for a Choosy Butterfly

Mostly, if not all admire the beauty of butterfly. Deeply, I like to hate it because of its identity.

Ya ALLAH...! Showers them all YOUR BLESSINGS

2008-08-21T03:06:00.000-07:00

Ya ALLAH...! showers them All YOUR BLESSINGS was the last words I have for my Senior students as they leave in the portal of our school for the Saturdays MSU_SASE- System Admission Scholarships examinations. They cried and asked ALLAH for Blessings as I burst with tears. I know that the result of the said examinations will change their whole life. This batch of graduates, all belong to low income family. I know that the only means for them to pursue in College is the Mindanao State University. This University is only 2 and a half kilometers away from the school. They can just walk to and from this University.

All my prayers were for them this time. AMEEN YA ALLAH!

war..never ending story

2008-08-18T04:32:00.000-07:00

War...a never ending story of the Bangsamoro Movement. so sad that they are up to hope but never get what they intend to have. The government is so lenient yet so far to reach as to the purity of their words. How can we be sure that the government is telling the truth. Their words cause a thousands people to suffer and lives of civilianS were wasted. They did not hurt the people innnnnnnnnnnnnnndividually but is hurting them deeply. The innocent civilian are the victims of these opposing swords of the government and the Bangsamoro....YA ALLAH! BLESS THOSE INNOCENTS!

The Largest Phippine Flag

2008-08-11T03:14:00.000-07:00

The largest Philippine flag was seen in Mindanao State University Campus, Marawi City Lanao del Sur. Students, professionals and visitors came to visit the said largest flag. It was made known to the students on the 5th day of August, this year. Some questions came to their mind, however it was left unanswered up to this time. Some hearsay that it was brought to this campus just to be displayed by unknown lady of whom this author is trying to search more about this lady and its purpose. However, we were happy to have this largest flag.

This was seen in the oval of Mindanao State University, and the size of the flag covered the whole area of the Oval Ground, including the basket Ball Court in front of the Grand Stand. Any one who happened to visits this University can imagine how large it really, knowing the area of the Oval Ground. The Campus Oval Ground hosted the The Palarong Pambansa going back at 80's. We really failed to focus our eyes on its four corners.

I'll be posting more about this flag

The Nutriton Day, July 31 '08

2008-08-02T05:49:00.001-07:00

Following was my Speech to the newly celebrated Nutrition Month, 2008.

Greetings for mothers, this year is the year for mother like us,
Assalamu alay kum
wa rahmatollahi wa barakatuh. I wonder why,
when proper nutrition is being
discussed, some eyes focused on us mothers.
We, being fully responsible for the
health of our children, survive blame and struggles.
We were blamed for having
improper nutrition at home with out asking why?
We struggle to have proper nutrition
and yet we failed because of financial reasons.
We always centered our attention on how to make
our family healthy, because we love
to compare who among us are effective in motherhood.
At very early stage of our
child in school, the very first thing that
we set for our financial estimates was to
buy an umbrella or a raincoat. We fear that
one reason for unconditional health is
fever and cold. So, we tried to secure one.
We regard ourselves to be the best
mother in the world, but when there is
circumstance for illness, we carried the
blame. No matter how we tried, we can never make
it perfect. The image of our child
became our trade mark. We missed another factor,
the proper nutrition. We mostly
concentrate on material things and we neglect
the proper nutrition. We know how to
do it, but we refuse to follow, it could have
for some factors that only family
income can justify. They tried to put all the
blame on us mother, and yet they
forget to verify.
Further more, we struggle far just to have
perfect environment at home. We consider
cleanliness to be one of the reasons why illness role.
We first consider the water,
the foods and then the shelter.
We like to be on top, but again, income is the king.
We dream to have the most delicious breakfast
in the morning but when we feel not
moving for the following week, we adjust
our meal for “bulad” and sayote as the
toppings. This is because, our wallet
complained every time we scan on fresh fish
crowned with 130-150 pesos a kilo.
I like malunggay and other nutritional vegetable,
but ampalaya and Talong are disastrous to our pocket…
they sometimes range from 60-80
a kilo. We rarely can afford and so we give up
planning for the proper nutrition. To
make thing simple, we favor to stock noodles
and eggs for simplicity and continuity.

What I mentioned to you, ladies and gentlemen
are the life in the city.  In the
rural areas, no doubt, it may not sound
perfect but proper nutrition is almost
followed. This is because, they are surrounded
by leaves that make their day
complete. But wait… to have proper nutrition
according to the books is to have fresh
fish, meat, milk, eggs and many more. Any way,
we have mongo as a substitute for
meat. We feel better this way.  So,
if we consider to fully follows on proper
nutrition, mother at a city could not squarely make it.
The income of a family will
prevail. We got to be strict on the number of
times that meals were being served,
rather than what should be the proper meals for the day.
Mostly, sustainability is
followed rather than planning for the day.
“ Sa wastong Nutrisyon ni Mommy, siguradong healthy si Baby”,
is a fact. All mommies
want to have a healthy baby, but if financial capacity decline,
we tried to imagine
what we give to our family is the best meal in the world.
We Filipinos lost the
real definition of proper nutrition because
of economic problem today. For mothers
like me, the theme for this year’s nutrition is
the best theme ever I remember, for
our children tried to appreciate the foods we
prepare for them, not for its delicacy
but for the effort that we have done.
We manage to prioritize our needs in a day in
which our center of emotion was to fill the day
and not the contentment. That is how
a poor mother can have for their love ones,
not to allow sun to set with out foods
in the table, regardless of delectability.
My advised for mothers in the rural areas
are to continue their practice in planting
varieties of vegetable in their backyard.
This could help and minimize rapid drops of coins.
The coins you save can compensate
other family needs, other than vegetable.
You must be lucky that you have healthy
surroundings. This can provide you a mountain
of foods with out spending an amount.
What I observe in this program now was that
the students that listen to me now
qualify to be among of the healthy children
in this country. I would like to
congratulate all mothers who are around today.
You can be the best mother in the
world. Do not envy other mothers who sat under
a mansion, for your home is the
mansion of happiness for you and your family.
The healthy surrounding that you have
is the most ideal one. You are far from worries,
rather an ideal family. You have
nothing to fear at night for the family is
complete away from hazard. Maintain the
effort that you have initiated for,
and Allah will bless you for being.
Students, fellow teachers, parents,
visitors and guest,  I appreciate it very much
that you have lend a minute of your time,
listening to some part of my diary as a
mother today, which I think could be yours
or even part of your mothers diary. I
thank you very much and Wassalamu alaykum
warahmatollah hi wa barakatuh.

The Seniors

2008-08-02T05:11:00.001-07:00

They are the senior students. The original batch has a total number of student of 68. As they climb into higher level; from Junior to Senior, it decline. This is the usual problem of the school. The very limited number of boys portray the poor economic condition of the place. As parents delegate their sons to farming, the number of boys decline. For the girls, early marriage is one of the factors. Mostly drop their schooling after marriage. As to this date, we have only a total of 32 students in the senior level.

Looking at their background is the Only University of the Province, The Mindanao state University which is just 2 and a half kilometers away from this school.

The Juniors

2008-08-02T05:04:00.001-07:00

They are the present Junior students enrolled this year. The total enrollees reach 52 students which is the burden of teachers because of the over crowded situation.

The experimental sections

2008-08-02T04:41:00.000-07:00

The first year pilot section. This batch serve as experimental on math and English. They were introduced with Elective Math and English. The Elective Mathematics were more on Basic Arithmetics, being the pre-requisite for Algebra and the Elective English were foe Comprehensive reading and spelling. These two areas were the common problems among National High School in this locality.

The above picture is the speed section. They limited students extracted from the number of enrollees this year. The major of instructions were rigid as they are the upper section of this year level.

2008-07-27T10:13:00.000-07:00

Golden rose and Rossy Pink Section, are my students in Advance Algebra! I like they way they simplyfy and find and check for the value of X. I hope they can make it on the graphing of parabola.

Needs for Diplomacy

2008-07-22T18:04:00.000-07:00

I have this problem in my carrier as a leader, that when somebody or or a powerful one is empower to role instead. I have meet this kind of problem when powerful politicians were empowered to appoint new teachers rather than me. The different between the two was the lack of information. The politicians only appoint but were no able to screened fully whom to be appointed. While if the the head of the school is the opposite. I hope we are given the chance to do the same instead of the new trend. I am requesting concern person to support us for this fight. The teachers who qualify may not satisfy the choice of the politicians, politically wise.

When Birds Sanctuary Becomes Meager

2008-06-27T00:40:00.000-07:00

We regard a home to be complete with the members of the family around. Additional flags could be a garden, appliances, pets and a place to neutralize emotions, like trees, bearing or not bearing. Under their shades you can articulate your long awaited story of anger and annoyance in life.

Our garden at home is just enough to accommodate our contentment, surrounded by limited varieties of flowers with our overflowing care. Setting our alarm clock do not bother us, since the early hums of birds awakens us each day. There are those most friendly birds which hum on the rear side of our window, on top of mango tree. Others are mostly on top of Balimbing fruit bearing tree (Filipino fruit bearing tree), and wow! How sweet thus they hum, as if they confer an early vocation for the day. They are I think four if not five, because the alternating hum flash in the different part of that tree. The first mentioned birds on top of the mango tree till us the early break of dawn and the later are entail the shine of the day. The humming fastened as the sun rise up, hasten them to find foods. As their song vanished, we too move for work. I observed number of their variety with different characters. One group try to mingle with us and we call them Chinese bird though I do not know how it is being derived. Others are we call them Salayn, which they really are fond of playing on top of trees, up then down. I saw also few which only hum late in the afternoon and go after sunset.

It was weekend and I’m retiring from a long week. I satisfy my self by glancing at my garden, checking every discomfort they might have in my absence. I realize that some birds were still there on top of the trees but not humming nor conversing but too busy scrutinizing their poise. I was amused and I move further to the other side of my garden. For just a few of touch, I’m done with my early tasks in the garden. I have to leave and unwind for my computer passion. I past through the kitchen and prepare my breakfast and hot coffee. I prefer to have them in my bed room, when an unusual noise perpetrate. Our cat named Puti jumped and hid under my bed and the rest the cats followed as they were hastily hopping to catch the later. I have to come across and I uncover on the trouble. I am sure Puti has foods and want to have alone. But it is not the end, it might be a snake or a hazardous insects. It happened then that they bring inside a snake and play with it under my bed. Immediately, I secure my emergency lamp and find it out myself. Oh! A bird was squabbling and I hurried to save the bird. It was too late to take steps, because the bird was lifeless after withdrawing from the enemy. I feel cheerless, and decide to punish the captor but it was unwise.

After taking my breakfast, I went on my garden and imagine how did the bird was captured. It was impossible because the bird settled on top of the tree while the captor was mingling merrily with the other cats. I can imagine that the captive enters in the scene to catch worms upon my exit to the kitchen. The victim was not aware that its captor was looking for a delicious breakfast too. What was wrong on the move of the cat was his failure to think that I am there, willing and ready to feed them at a proper time. It is just bit uneasy to consider his patience in having a tasty breakfast. Perhaps, the cat considers his behavior to be a noble intention. He falls short on the distinctiveness of the bird. If he did, he must mind that the bird might be a mother or a father that looks for an appetizing breakfast of its family. I pity the family if they find it hard for the impossible return of their love one, not only for foods but for companionship. I can not bear to think the worries and hazards that my cat has for these poor victim. The captor seems like feasting when it catches the bird. It views like a strong soldier, a valiant soldier who won in battle. It assumes that catching birds for yummiest breakfast is the noblest act it did for the day.

The cat in this story was an animal that we can not enforce the law of the land because of his identity. But his noble purpose for a yummy breakfast hurt others feeling. But what if a man did the same? Would it be still similar? The law of the Land and our God Almighty consider it as crime. It is entitled to the proper enforcement of the law. Maybe, a man who committed alike thinks comparably with a cat. He considers a crime like this to be a noble intention because of needs. We can visualize a man who committed the same to be a hero among his family for providing the delectable breakfast in a day. Could it be a happiness of others, thinking it to be sufferings for some? I wish man who yearns for a family’s appetizing meals will not adapt the initiatives of a cat.

Sweetness in Teaching

2008-06-26T07:09:00.000-07:00

Sweet as a candy and delicious as ice cream are the the feeling towards teaching. You can not taste

on your products like cooking and planting but you can feel deep inside your heart the outcome of

our product.

Like a joy on early smiles and giggles of babies, I love watching my students giggling with an

innocent smiles, mingling in this most congested world of uncertainty.

My Seniors

2008-06-26T06:10:00.000-07:00

This is my 3rd year handling review on Abstract. This is part of the College Entrance Test provided by The Mindanao State University Marawi City. This enable students, specially poor one to continue in College with less financial expenses. Most top and supervisors positions in the Government Agencies heals from this University. This was due to the quality of education that this University has provided to able student.
One good thing I have in this Universities is its role in Nation building. It is because of its location. It is away from Cities where in temptations on youth problem is minimal. No night clubs nearby, and the best was the absence of alcohol. Knowing Marawi City to be the only Islamic City in the Philippines, it forbids the selling of the same. The problem on accommodations like boarding is pro-poor. You can be accommodated with only 250 pesos a month. On foods, you can by delicious "pater"(maranao cooked-rice in a banana leaves with halal meat or chicken meat0 for only 10pesos. I short, an intelligent student can survive in a day for only 50pesos including banana toron and other agricultural product made available for snacks. This most favorable conditions will make a student to acquire a degree with a minimal financial support from parents.
The reasons from the above paragraph made me to ponder how my students especially senior to avail on privileges provided by this University to able and willing students. Since our school is just 2 and a half kilometer away from this University, it's a great chance for them to enjoy the same privilege of which academic performance is the key. The area that I'm reviewing to them covers 20% of the entrance test that it provides.
Considering the delicacy of this area, which covers aptitude test, figure analogy, literal series and number series with other related mathematical problem, I have to educate them on this area. With this related importance, I can not give-up on this review. Every day is a long day for me. I hope that my students can make it like my two batches of students. I know that this really help them. The distance is not a problem for they can just walk from and to this University for home.

The cry of Net Cafe'

2008-06-25T08:34:00.000-07:00

Early summer, all net cafe' in our place, MSU-Marawi City suffer loss on income! Except for the absence of students who went for vacation, successive brown-outs pushed down proprietors and owners.

It was estimated that hundreds of thousands will be spend for the re- erection. Client of the the said Internet provided suffer a major loss of income especially internet Cafe' Our School's net connections was not much affected. The picture shown was taken after the fall of the said Tower.

The Touch of Cumbersome Responsibility

2008-06-19T17:15:00.000-07:00

The Touch Of Cumbersome Responsibility

According to many sociologist and anthropologists, the primary function of

the family is to reproduce society either biologically. society or both.

Thus one’s experience of one’s family shifts over time. From the

perspective of children, the family is family orientation. The family

serves to locate children socially, and plays major role in their

enculturation and socialization. From the point of view of parents, the

family is a family of procreation, the goal of which is to produce and

enculturate and socialized children. However producing children is not the

only function of societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage and

the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for

the formation of an economically productive household.(google.com, April,5,2008)

As a mother of six offspring, with only one rose among the thorns, we

cannot account the weight of responsibility. When one time, I was caught

between showers of swords from the two directions, I have asked ALLAH

(s.w.t.) to have me a shiny day on the following morning. At first, I find

it easy to skip, since, some relatives seems loyal in comforting me. How

awesome for these number of shoulders to cry on. But, as it starts to

worsen, they begin to stay apart so that they can exempt themselves from

these diversities of swords. I cannot put the blame on them, since it’s a

suicidal in nature. I even warned my hubby to be careful on its infectious

thorns. Playing the role of being the only person who conceived, I have

acquired strength to blow my last breath, and directed my intent of

fighting back. Any cowardice move, never give a chance to save this

complications. I felt this weighty responsibility, entrapping my whole

being.

Being a mother of less than one to make half dozen boys, I must prepare my

self for any consequences in motherhood. Indubitably, mothers are willing

to dedicate herself for the sake of being one. Some intriguing problem

encountered by families, are uncertainty on children’s educations, dashing

manhood (includes love story, peculiar taste with friends, choosy and

distinct types for foods and colors), financial incapacity and

discontentment in nature and the society of which they belong. My center

of emotion is on the second intrigue, dashing manhood. Our acquaintance

with this kind of deception came with out warning. To the contrary, the

other mentioned schemed leave a chance for provisions. It is lateralize

according to once time frame, prioritize base on our ability. Similarly,

on natural calamity, rains pour after cloudy skies and floods after heavy

rains. Laterally, it prompted us to have some precautionary measures. But

in this case, it bump our head, like an after shock tidal wave. Though we

are aware of it existence but the wrangle eradicate our inner sense of

stillness. This is where aptitude of moral responsibility begins to mount.

With my weary eyes, I have accepted these challenges, with open arms. I

have defined everything to be only me who can stand forward with or with

out falling. We understand that sometimes, power and wealth are strangers

to this kind of complexities. I rather vowed down so that my identities

will become invisible to them. It is in this manner that they failed to

aim on my forehead. My whole being, was shadowed by pleading, and bring

myself into surrender. It is matter of recollection of how we play the

role of motherhood that have save me. Recalling for all our hardships,

followed by our earnest effort to have an ideal children, is one weapon to

beat the odds, looked very effective than everything. I have never dream

to change my life style, so that the coldness of the night could be my

companion instead of providing myself in comfort that I desired. If the

pouring of rains dictates me to shed unfathomed, I must led my way to the

best outcome. Declaring for an absence is not applicable to this time.

This weakens me, and stole my very chance of resting, even though it was

necessary. My hubby had to confess every inch of my fight to our friends,

finding solutions to calm the violence. What would be the best drive for

this crisis with the pressures of times? Every shift seems harsh and keeps

me breathless. The whole world moved closer which enough sleep is the only

guarantee to cool me. I believed, ALLAH (s.w.t) always have place for a

mother like me. I allow the coldness of the night to modify my fight and

let my tears pour down until it dries up. I want to pull back time and

withdraw being me. I discern everything in proper, since my aim in life

was satisfied when I decide to enter into. I have enough preparations to

tackle every adversity. But, for a situation similar to mine, it is

unpredictable.

I successfully delineate all obstacles, and discovered those showering

swords to be lenient without pricking me. This, sudden change of

environment need another stage of confusions rejoice with queuing lines of

responsibility, waiting to be defined to its utmost forms. Those showers

of swords are now cradling me to a bitterness of responsibility. This

time, if I got pricked, it might be yawning for I have lost much of

struggles. Those swords are an ocean that may drown me anytime, whenever

the role of cruelty possessed these tendencies. As if, I am on two roaring

lions that eventually tear me into pieces. With those fervent hopes, they

may vary to the best of its advantage. This unseat responsibility will

continue to find its peak unpredictably, bottomless.

However, our moral responsibility cannot authorize any other persons to

take its totality, though we can delegate to make it lighter. To regard

such as worthy of one of this reactions is to ascribe moral responsibility

to them on the basis of what they have done or left undone. Thus to be

morally responsible for our children, say an action is to be worthy of a

particular kind of reaction, praise, blame or something akin to these- for

having perform. If what we have done is not enough, at least we have done

our best for our responsibility

Philosophical reflection on moral responsibility has a long history. One

reason for this persistent interest is the way the topic seems connected

with a widely shared conception of ourselves as a member of more

importantly distinct class of individual- call them persons. Persons are

qualitatively different from those of other known living species, despite

their numerous similarities. Many have held that one distinct feature of a

persons is their status as morally responsible agents, a status whether

their special status is threatened of a certain other claims about our

universe are true. If a person is be morally responsible for her behavior

if that behavior can be explained solely by reference to physical state of

universe and world along a divinely ordained path? Concerns like these

have often motivated individuals to the theorized about moral

responsibility. We dedicate our lives to our children because we are

distinct from other mothers.(google.com, April 5,2008)

Click the picture to zoom and find out how these hanging plants reproduce.

A pair of hanging plants was a present to me by my hubby at our early marriage. Before our marriage, he already recognized my instinct in loving natures, especially flowers. I have more than a dozen of presents from him when we were in College, though I do not value his gift to be his start of liking me. After our wedding, he developed in his mind my identities and continued to provide me more of these collections. I have numbers of these now, that is why I am having more of these as presents to few of my friends. These plants have traveled to different places from our first home to our permanent residence. They have been hanged to various trees surrounding our house, until finally they found this orange bearing- tree. to be their permanent place. They almost touch on the ground but I am afraid to transfer them for, I might destabilize their growth. Presently, they still continue to reproduce, providing me more of their generations.

Who Owns Me Last Summer(my companions)

My Companions at Home

My day will not be complete with out them We have 5 cats at home. They were not actually mine, its my girl's pets. In a day, all my children depart for their daily activities, while I am left alone. This is only for weekends and holidays, including vacations. Only a strange noise from them were my companions. On their presence, I failed to feel the emptiness in a day. The only peculiar among them are their fondness of stealing my snacks. They can sense on which corner I store my foods. I cannot hold my hands and hurt them. But when my girl plead to consider, I simply hold my temper.

This corner is far from my window. I can only satisfy myself in glancing them if it is intentional visits. I have to go out and check them if I desire to. Since, these ware on the rear corner, they usually suffer with the dump of dried leaves. That is why, I must see them daily.

With the soft blowing of wind, it refresh my mind and keep me to think more effectively. Despite my busy days at school, I have given extra time to cultivate.

front view of my garden at home

My garden at home have so much to say about me. They were totally neglected during school days. They can only own my times during holidays and vacations. I am just thankful that most of them are cultured to my behavior. One great thing they can expect of me is my endless smile every morning, for I do not missed any day if I'm around with out seeing them. I could check on their temporary discomfort in a day. This summer, I exclusively gave my time to them.

If you have garden at home, you will agree with me that, in gardening, it terminates your worries and slows down aging. We will be counting almost every leaves and blooms of their flowers. Such is a most luxurious hobby that do not requires you financially. Though, we owe them care and patience.

My favorite spot at school

2008-06-06T06:05:00.000-07:00

I happened to check-inn on one of the famous Hotel in Davao City on the mid-summer of 2006 in which this wild plant were one of their indoor plants. I was amazed because in our locality, we avoid and even destroy this kind plants. This usually grow on cold places under thick trees, mostly on coffee trees.

An announce inspection from the division office became an intrigue of competitions. Because, I lack the required amount to beautify my school, I resulted into finding this kind of variety. I have around 35-40 collections of the same now. They looked very unique and more handy to beautify with this kind because their culture. Their population expanded on a place like ours..which is cold and with big trees around. For this reason, we got exellent among 42 National High School. This is more natural than imorting other plants.

School Fable

2008-06-06T04:10:00.001-07:00

Once there lived a Man hunter. One day he was eager to hunt for a unique wild animal. Thinking of best way of having one, he has to polish his gun carefully before he proceeds. Now he was ready to go hunting. Not so long, he spotted an amazing wild animal. Oh! Wonderful said he, as he positioned and aim his gun to timing his fire. Ouch….! He was calmed and thought that what he saw was harmless. He has a second thought to befriend the later.
He slowly walked towards the area, approaching the animal. Oops…….! An elephant! He was delighted by its shape, so big and looks so strong. But how could he win with these qualities. He tried to persuade the elephant by touching softly the ears. The elephant do not mind him. He is determined that the later can be his friend. He ran shouted loudly to the neighborhood! Help! Help! Come and help catch “our” amazing elephant. Repeatedly he shouts until the neighborhood come to help. With an increasing numbers of the neighborhood, the elephant was unwisely defeated by their force. When he noticed those signed of winning, he shouted again. More! We almost have “our” elephant! We will be the talk of the Town then if we succeed. What a big elephant “we” have.
After exerting all their efforts, the elephant was on town site, leaving his wilderness. Only few meters away from the house of the hunter, he rejoiced for winning. Go! Go! We almost homed with “my” elephant. What a wonderful elephant “I” had. To the astonishment of many on why “our” elephant became “my” elephant, they loosen their hands and moved backed. He shouted again and asked them for more. Nobody moved especially when they noticed “we” have, to “my” elephant. They withdrew their force, making the elephant free to return home. Now the elephant cannot be hold by him alone. Sad to think a man who loves to owns others, and only for his own too. Greed

Check my Finding Whether it is True or False

An old student of mine came to me this afternoon at about five in the afternoon. At my surprise, she did not greet me , she weeped instead. When I asked her, I found out that she lost her allowance. That suppose to be her tuition fee allowance, and burst with tears. I have go deeper. That money was kept in her wallet when she went for chatting in an internet. Poor girl, I sigh, she must not visit any net cafe with out solving her tuition fee. That amount will either be kept properly in the dormitory or entrust it to a relative at least she has something to spend for her schooling. But, another idea came to my mind when I realize that an old friend with her has 12 caliber. I mean, she goes for a wrong company. I am suspecting that the money was not actually lost but was spent unwisely. Unluckily, I have no money with the same amount as to her needs. I have to be frank with. Her worries includes failure to enroll. I have a pinch of advise to students like her. Prioritize your needs when you're away from home. You must prioritize tuition fee before any other happenings. Happenings can wait while enrollment delayed means education denied. You must be extra careful with any amount send to you by your parents. That amount was scarcely earned. Love any drop of it as you love your parents.

REFLECTION (My Early Adolescent)

2008-06-01T03:28:00.000-07:00

This was taken during our second Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises, March 25, 2008. With me on the Photo was our Ulirang Ina Awardee. She was chosen by the screening commetee. The story of this mother was similar to mine. This student was my scholar, giving her full previlige on any school expenses, including uniform and notebooks. Every time I encounter this mother, I was touch by her effort for the education of the later. She is Mrs. Ramla Hadji Salic. I dedicate this story to her and her daughter.

The anguished that boasted in my childhood motivates me to attempt further. On my younger age, I thought that nothing could surpass my agony. But when I advance for my high school, I felt my heart to be enclosing me in loneliness. I missed every one in the family, including my only pet Varique(cat). I could picture my mother working in the farm alone. Besides, on her recent visit, she whined me up on her illness. I begin to worry. I was engulfed by her image especially when she head off home and present an amount with a three layers wrap. I recognized that sum earned scarcely. If I could have the change to reject, I should have done it, but that quantity assisted me in any purpose. Every drop of coin that I expend squeezed my heart. The following nights and days were walls that trapped me.

As to my study, I have to double my effort. I was an academic scholar and my relatives have to take on my daily consumptions only. Our school was only one and a-half kilometer away from their residence. Walking was the usual ceremony early in the morning and afternoon. The distance was not the factor to keep surrender. It was the murmur, the whisper that I became a burden to them. I can not reverse the situation meant for, there was no other means. Thanks to my newly married aunt, on whom extended her patient and treat me genuinely. She taught me how to sew, and it materialized. The same facilitated on my relative needs.

In relation to my socialization, I was at the rear of my classmates and friends. I do not have means to catch the fashion. With my only pair of school uniform, I was provoked in cleanliness. Being careful was the practice to protect the only one. During wash-day, that was every Wednesday, I am free to choose on my blouses ; yellow, green, blue and white whole-dress ( my graduation dress in elementary), and four malong, a green-java-print Batique, yellow and green satin and a printed satin. For me, no other fashioned dress that can bit those mentioned above. The latest fashion suits used by Vilma Santos and Nora Aunor attracted me, though I do not idolize any of them for I prefer Hilda Coronel. I resulted in collecting their pictures and paste them on my old notebooks. Sooner, I lost my interest with that hobby and concentrate instead on my study.

An entirety of three years offered a lesson in life. I returned home because of growing health problem of my mother. I lost my concern in study. My mother has to inspire me instead, I was not convinced. I missed my junior days for financial reasons. When my brother observed the circumstances, he hastened me to study in the following year. I enrolled as senior, free tuition for I pass on the Editorial Test on the school Magazine. My new classmates envy me for being the Editor-in –Chief. My only preparation was to prove to them for being one. Definitely, I showed them the proof. Being a member of 72 graduating class of 74, first Batch of then NCEE (National College Entrance Examinations) and an academic scholar of the nearest University, they did not contradict my status.

Subsequently to our graduation, I packed my personal belongings and prepare for another chapter in my study. This time, we were three who set of for College, my brother and a half-sister. We’re all scholars but we were not accommodated in the dormitory because we came late. There was one extended relatives of ours who offer their boarding house for free. Academically speaking, everything in college was a harrowing experience, especially that I missed my junior. I got problem on mathematics and was demoted on the following year. To offset the changes, I worked as working student to one of the offices in that University. The allowance provided by the University help out our necessity in school. Our father who realized the relevance of our study supported us financially and morally.

Our College life seems sour when our need increases. Our mother was ill that needs continuous medications. We were not given the necessary attention. My undergraduate theses then, was in process. Our Allocation for foods ran short. But, we seem unaffected. We struggled to the very end and graduated together with my brother successfully. Our half-sister did not make it because of early marriage. No single student who studied in the said university, who define a student life to be sweeter, and so we are.

My experiences in life motivated me to love the poor. I like to see how they enjoy a pinch of help that I extended.

REFLECTION (My Early Childhood)

2008-06-01T03:14:00.000-07:00

I was born to a Maranaw parents, who earned their livelihood to a Christian area.I grew up with Christian friends, though my upbringing was purely on a Maranw Culture. My interactions with friends gave me chance to understand both sides of the Catholics and Muslim. This situation played significantly to my existence and as a leader presently. There were good sides on the way Christians lead, and was true for a Muslim. Integration of the two was a perfect combination on leadership. I spent my life in that area until my Elementary Grades and a year of my high School. Since then, I was accommodated as scholar to the nearest University in our place and the vicinity of that University owns my account in being.

My mother got married at an early age, thirteen for she was an orphan at age three. None-the-less, she has to strive and experience bitterness in life. My father descended from a Royal-Blooded family, with four wives including my mother. They were married not for material things, but to save my mother from her struggles for they are indeed relatives. My mother was just a daughter to my father in relation to their age. The differences in their age affect my life as student. Their relation was rear, because she was afar from understanding on running a family. Despite stern relation, she has to exchange blows to him and brought me to school.

The continuous struggle of my mother originated from a crowd of wives that my father has. They have to met only once in a week. The rest of the responsibilities were left on to my mother. She has to be the father and a mother while my father spent the rest of the days with his three wives. We have learned a living at an early age, though we belong to a middle-class income. The sharing of income is inadequate on the crowd of four. Hence our educations were not covered in this sharing. We resulted into earning additional income to keep going.

We divided the time in a day, especially on school days. Our school was a four-and-a-half kilometer away from home. That was from Grade one to Grade four. During our intermediate grade, we used to walk six kilometer every day from our house to school. Our source of income was farming, along with, we must finish the work assigned to us in a day. After the early call for prayer in the morning, we have to depart to our farm. If our time for the morning is not enough, for we used to set off before 6;30 am, we must finished the tasks after school. Usually, we were home at 5:30 pm, speeding up to work again awaiting for our farm tasks. Those sequence of labor cycles, pending my elementary graduation. The adversity we have increases as we walk to High School.

I live together with our close relatives in a nearby City just for my study. My brother has to continue the string of farming until College. On my way, I live in an environment which was a stranger to me. Pastoral area is different from inner city. Consequently, I have to adjust. I have to bend to fit with my new atmosphere. I still have to wake-up early to finish my daily chores, to facilitate from scrubbing the floor to kitchen effort. Together with the one of my relatives, we accomplished washing during weekend, though the unclean clothes were ton to tackle. Regardless of those undertaking, I am satisfied and meant for my study. I regret to complain though feeling home-sake was the hitch.
