My Korean students (AUTHENTIC COMMUNICATION class) for four months made me realize that learning can be really fun when shared with kind hearts and willing mind. I will surely miss them:
LIEL, APOLLO, CRIS, NICK, TERRY and PRINCESS (not in the picture).
They studied ESL at AUF from July to October 2005.
LIEL is a sweet young lass. Masipag, mabait, magalang and always smiling. It's easy to be optimistic when you're with her.
PRINCESS is also very sweet and really cool kasama.
APOLLO is a serious guy pero magalang sa babae. Sweet din, kaya nagkagirlfriend ng Pinay, and he's proud of it!
NICK is such a good student. He was always the first to finish classroom activities, never missed any homework, and has a very neat notebook.
CRIS is very quiet but super magalang and very reserved. He does not talk (even in Korean) when he doesn't want to. He's always eyeing on pretty PInay in the campus. Pero mabait, magalang, usually in a hurry to finish class and super shy.
I WILL SURELY MISS THEM.
Being with them for four months (nine hours a week) was really fun!

My ESL students in SPEECH AND ORAL COMMUNICATION who stayed at AUF for six weeks January 10-February 17 : ALICE, LIM, JUNE, WEBER AND TERRY.

I also enjoyed teaching-learning with this group, especially with TERRY in class. Terry is such a 'sweet' student. Magalang, mabait at masipag mag-aral (tinagalog ko talaga para di sila maintriga :-). I had the chance to chat with Terry when I went to the Cyberspace (at AUF). He wouldn't leave me although all his Korean friends had left for lunch. Nakipagkwentuhan pa rin siya sa kin. We talked about different places in Korea and something about Dae Jang Geum. I hope to see him again as he said he hopes to come back some time in July.

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl

An Open Letter to my Daughter as She Goes Off to College

Dear Stef, I know you’re excited to go to college, meet new friends, and embrace a more fast-paced life in Manila. I’m also excited for you! I know that the physical distance between us will only make you become stronger and more prepared to face the real world once you’ve finished college. I want you to be fully equipped and well-prepared when that time comes. I’m confident you won’t have problems being on your own. As you know, I’ve been there – was then studying in Manila, away from my parent, since I was in high school, kaya pagdating ng college sa Baguio, halos end of semester na lang ako umuuwi. At least ngayon, meron nang FB, Twitter, Skype and ‘unli text and call’, so keeping in touch is no longer an issue. Pero siyempre, iba pa rin kapag we don’t see you every day para kumustahin ang araw mo. . . Well, malapit lang naman ang Manila from Angeles, and madali ka lang puntahan, or madali ka lang makauwi, but it’s still very different from what I’ve been used to. Ngayon, without y
