My last day of College life was celebrated yesterday with our last day too of Practicum Exhibit! :)
It was one hella-fun, since what we just did there, is to showcase all our learnings and what we know about the school. Not like what my Mom insists on me, that we are selling the school and in extreme case the kids. :P Boo! hahaha! :D

Oh well, next time I'll try to share the pics :)

Babooo! :D

This one's cool!

I believe that I am not yet late to share whatever happenings that came my way during the months that passed. :)
FUN IN PRACTICUM

The duration for the first term of practicum was somewhat long for me. Although at the latter part I missed a lot of classes due to the inevitable sickness and school matters (Reports, Panel Discussion, Papers, Thesis, etc.) But nonetheless, my time for other curricular stuffs for school (doing Activities, preparing Lesson Plans) have given me just the required time to finish and even extra for it (TOTAL HOURS RENDERED=229 out of TOTAL HOURS REQUIRED=200) I almost dread that I may not be able to finish but then miracle has it that it helped me along the way! Yadayadayada..

It was really fun learning with the kiddos at K.I.D.S. needless to say that I am with my dearest PA’s! :) (Uiii, I LOVE your Gifts!!) So what was really my work there? To be a student-teacher. (But I loathe when someone called me ATE, rar!) hahaha! How bratty! Oh well, all of our learning from our majors even the floating subjects has helped us really to understand the learning situation of the students as well as their developmental progress. Furthermore, it helped me realize that NOT ALL theories can be applied to the school setting or whatever environment the child is in. Play is really a vital part of their life as well as it provides the children to be engaged in socialization and be able to acquire fine and gross motor skills! I was really having fun when we go Outdoors and sing “wear our shoes” or “pack away!” :) Snack time or even the mere Waiting time involves the child to be on his solitary mode or the chatting session he/she can have with his/her other classmates (they really talk when their mouth is Full!) Music/Movement time will really shake your ass off til it gets tired and even your flabby arms will get toned (to the tune of Yippee Alleluia!) hahahaha! But on to their serious part of the routines, they have their Activity period. Yep! Even my littlest kiddos (aged 2-3 yrs old) have some work time. What they love to do (because they do nothing else, hihihi) is to color-stick-decorate-name-identify whatever is given to them as an activity.

I was lucky enough to make some Activities for the Care Bears (or Level 1; that’s my class!) Oops, not just a mere activity but it should be Developmentally Appropriate. I was tasked to make a whole week activity during the Halloween, and so when I went home after class from Lasalle I glued myself to the net and surf and started doing the activities. What I made was a (1)Skeleton, (2)Spidey-spider!, (3)Pumpkin Bag and (4)Balloony Pumpkin. After which the next set of activities that I made was for the Christmas season, I made a Xmas Candle and a Xmas Card (this really stressed me out! Imagine a card made out of acetate and a pull-out on the side) FYI: a TOXICATING work involves a whole life of Cutting the smallest of the small papers. And that’s what Teachers do. So BEHAVE and have some COMPASSION.

And my work did not end there; I also have to make Anecdotal Records which is a weekly basis. It’s more of sugarcoating the giftedness of a child in a span of one week. :p Also, I read some books to the kids! Reading Aloud that is.. But to tell you if you got a set of kids who are hyper in the sense that they can already replace the position of the teacher, I tell you = GOODLUCK! My kids are like those, they wanted to read their own book and read it to the class and even to you :)

But I never thought that our volunteering acts would be paid off as December, the month of sharing came by. We got gifts! Awwww.. Actually, the first gift that we PA’s got is the peanut brittle of Iya and Vito! And was followed by a lot of gifts coming from my Head Teachers (T.Mai and T.Thelma) and the other teachers, and the students!
Wow, what a merry way of celebrating the Christmas! :)

LOKA IN THESIS1
The first part of our thesis involves a lot of OVERNIGHTS and READING of TONS OF BOOKS and PHOTOCOPYING OF PAPERS and BEING ZOMBIES and STAYING UP SOOOOO LATE IN FRONT OF THE PC’s/LAPTOPS. But I can be thankful as we have made it in a swift but sure editing. Thanks to Ms.Kits (Yes clooose! hahaha) for her hard-to-decipher-notes and ever-great-advising to us!
Can I just tell you that I even *pooped* minutes before the PROPOSAL DEFENSE, well that’s because of a very scared attitude, that I was thinking that the panelists would eat us alive!! Hahahaha! But *boink* all they said were Suggestions and not mocking us of our paper! Hooray! :)

I want to congratulate the Chinese group of girls hahaha, GO-LIM-GO! :) Actually we were very scared of being the first to be roasted like pigs on the VERY FIRST DAY OF DEFENSE. But luck came our way! :) And all the other Thesis students of batch 104! =) As Dora would sing, “We did it!”

DEAD-END, EH?
I can vividly remember one day of September when someone texted me an unusual quote pertaining to say that I’m onto a life of DEAD END. But after all the graces that I got throughout the Second term? I DON’T THINK SO. Well, I’m not into having grudges. That’s what she is/they're trying to tell me, maybe that’s their intuition. But it’s very wrong. :)
I’m just very grateful to have a LOVE life :) High grades that I did not expect for the Second term: I both got 4.0 for Thesis and Practicum, which helped me, get into First Honors. Also, to finish the Novena masses at St.Jude today. And for the Bonus: I got a new cellphone!! Weeee! =)
~~~
Lord, I really thank you for all the blessings, graces, gifts and talents that you showered and will continue to shower upon me. Words aren’t enough but I’m pretty sure that you know it, you’re everywhere, and I can feel You. A month ago I have confessed all my wrong doings and I was very sorry for all of those. Well, actually everyday I’m sorry for the mistakes that I make, but I know You have a Forgiving Heart and so why can’t I forgive whoever has inflicted pain on me? Don’t worry Lord I’m done doing it. All for Your Glory!

Happy happy happy!!!

Reality Bites

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 08:43:31 GMT

Summer class has started last Thursday, and I must say that it isn't fun to be at school on summer. Although our Profs are presumably generous and considerate I might as well like the summer term. I'm just looking forward each and everyday to see my friends and have our running moments from FnH. :D

As the summer term has started, it kinda gave me stress, knowing that we are to go to some schools again and have our finals at the end of the term. Its not healthy, hahaha!

Anyway, the first day was celebrated with a blast together with my Blumoon girls minus Eda and Issa in school and with my new friends at Dish in the evening. :D You would ask me, why would I go to that place on a first day of summer class? Well, as I have been sharing to the rest, my purpose on going there was to see my two pretty friends (Mau and Ches) and have bonding moments with them. I have conditioned myself that if ever I see HIM with his girl, I will act as if I have seen no one. And I have anticipated that we will never get to talk. But NO! All of my anticipations and presuming happened in reverse. I saw HIM without his girl, and we get to talk. Err, of course my feelings went back and felt the rush of my blood pumping non-stop to my heart, sending messages of love-hurt-love-swoon-love-blank-love. I am just glad to be with HIM even for a couple of minutes, teasing each other and talking like we're close friends. :) I'm okay with it, since I have accepted the fact that he already has a girl and seeing HIM happy, makes me feel happy, too. :)

Have met new friends there from SanBeda(Gring,Jaycee,Chris,Bry1&2,Julius) and Antz(Road Manager), now they are added to my friends of texting, ym, messaging and all the like! =) You know the feeling of looking forward to see one of them, it just makes you feel happy and excited at the same time! :D

Got it all from Gring! Hiii Gring! aka James Yap! Hahaha! :)

_{Gring and I :)}

_{Ches|Mau|Ecai}

_{huugssstight!}

_{look on sides
don't they look soo beautiful, I'm just their atsay :)}

_{oh, btw this is my new 'do :)}

_{angst look}

_WOW!

_{same fate ;(}

_good

_friends

_{grooouup pic one
sa tingin ko may tumutugtog nung time nato pero pasaway nagppicturan! :D}

_{grooouup pic two
aba! umulit pa! ;D}

_{hala camwhores! :D}

_{super late na sa paguwi pero pose pa rin!
one can really feel close to these people in an instant! :)}

_{dami naman! hahaha :D}

Last night, was the second meeting with Mau and Ches but with Karina and Jaycee as well at Virgin Cafe. :)
I'll just quote this,"You broke my world but you made me STRONG." That was the feeling I felt during that night. I have no hate feeling nor love. Well, I guess the moment has come to face the reality and as I have said, I was ready for it. And there it was, it happened.

[Edit]: I've learned that FRIENDS are the consolation and grandest prize I can ever have in choosing to lose in a challenge.♥
