My Socially Constructed Reality

" The kids aren't little forever" ( Brown 2006). * Brown, B (2006 Sept. 1). HOme is where the school is. Medical Post. 42 (27). p. 34. In the article, Brown talked about his and his wife's experiences in homeschooling their four children.

I earned $124 for not sleeping for two nights. Not bad, right? But I miss sleeping. I haven't slept for two consecutive nights. I finished two ordered papers. Yeah, I call them ordered papers. I'm writing part-time for an online freelance writing company. I started last March and successfully delivered the first ordered paper on March 14. Actually, I already forgot that I signed up for a freelance writing company online. I wasn't serious about it. I just wanted to see what was going to happen. I didn't expect to receive a confirmation that I was accepted as one of their freelance writers. Anyway, I think I am enjoying this kind of part-time job. First, I get paid per page -- in US dollars . The compensation per page depends on the immediacy and complexity of the paper. I had orders which were $ 12 per page. Some offered only $7 per page. There are orders offering only $3 but I don't get them. I think that's too cheap considering that the amount of time I spend

I am currently writing a paper on communication in leadership. While reading the materials and modules, I started making reflections and I realized that THERE IS NOTHING MORE TROUBLESOME than having a boss who frequently says, "If you don't like the rules, maluwang ang pinto. Lumabas kayo." He even made it a joke during a general meeting with all the employees and faculty and said: Yung mga gustong umalis ng school na to, bukas ang pinto. Ipahahatid ko pa kayo sa brass band palabas ng gate ng school kung gusto nyo. These words from him only imply that he doesn't value the employees and the faculty. He has no desire to keep the best and the most competitive. It seems like it won't really matter if we leave the school. In short, we're nothing. What kind of leader would say those kinds of words to his employees and faculty? Teachers are professionals and supposedly competitive so how could he insult teachers that way? Sometimes, I think that the saddest

I haven't blogged for quite a while but it doesn't mean I ran out of things to blog about. Here are some updates. 1. My sister went to the UK with her husband last April 11. We miss each other but thanks to YM and blogs -- we get to update each other of what's going on. Plus, with the web cam and YM, we get to see her almost every day. She's adjusting to temperature because when she left the Phils., the temp was around 38 C compared with the temp in UK right now which is 2 degrees Celsius. 2. It's summer break. I only have 7 students of Speech and Oral Communication . I'm currently focusing on my researches and on other stuff. This week will be the graduation ceremony of graduating students from the CAS. This, perhaps, would be the last time that I would see Myk and his batchmates. :-( 3. I started writing (part time) for an online company . I had my first paper delivered to the customer on March 14. I got good feedback and bonus (in dollars)

A Mentor, a Friend, an Icon: The ABMC 4 Response She is the icon of the Mass Communication department, an exceptional Communication instructor, and a motivator. Without her, students at Angeles University Foundation won’t reach their full potentials. She will always be remembered. We, the entire ABMC 4 Batch 2008, feel blessed and grateful for having Ma'am Virgie as our mentor in college. As we are about to spread our wings and gear up for the next level of our lives, we will always call to mind what she has taught us. We don't actually fear what the bigger world has in store for us because we trust that we are equipped with knowledge, skills, and talents which Ma'am Virgie has imparted us over the years. JENNIFER : I thank you mama virgy!!! i'm so speechless.. pero masasabi ko lang i will never forget you!! you change me.... salamat sa mga tinuro mo... wala kang katulad... basta sa lahat ng techers namen kaw ang da best... you will be forever in our hearts.... mwuahhh

STILL LEARNING SPELLING SEMINAR IN MALIKHAING PAGSULAT WHAT KEEPS ME GOING DESPITE STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE HANDLING A PR CLASS FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LAKE HOUSE OR THE MAIL BOX?

I have just submitted the final grades of my ABMC 4 students. That submission signals the end. The students are graduating on April 24 (exactly ten years after I also finished my Bachelor's degree). Their graduation gives me ambivalent feelings. Of course, I'm so happy for them -- finally they can spread their wings and fly wherever they want their destiny to bring them. However, something inside me tells me that I'm losing a part of me when they leave. This batch of students is, so far, the closest to me. I've been with them in their academic `struggle' in this school. They were my students since they were in their first year. And I think if there is one teacher who knows them a lot, (at least academically) that would be I. The same thing, this batch knows me more than anyone else does in this school. In fact, I'm sure that some of the students in this batch know me more than any of my co-faculty does. What can I say about each of them? MIKE : My first one-on-o
