My Socially Constructed Reality

I was promoted to being a PREMIUM writer last night. So what? I don't know. Ha ha ha!

Opportunities don't always knock on the door so I need to grab them... So here I am, just like what I did last academic year, keeping four jobs while preserving my sanity :-). There's just something different this time. Job number 1: Faculty at the Dept. of English & Comm. teaching six different subjects to over 50 students for each section. On MWF, I come to school at 9 am and leave at 7 pm. On TTh, I come at 9 am and swipe out at 5 pm. Job number 2: Vice-chair of the Dept. of English & Communication. As such, I am in-charge of all student affairs and program development for AB Communication program. To date, I have almost 250 Comm. students to guide and monitor. Job number 3: Freelance writer on three online writing sites but active only on one online research service. I was accepted in 3 companies online but I can only maintain one of them. It's because the papers to be written in the two are not in line with my field of knowledge. But I'...

MWF 11 -12 nn Practicum 01 2-3 pm Comm. 5 (Newswriting) 5-6 pm English 4 (Speech & Oral Communication) TTh 10-11:30 am BC 100 (Radio & TV Standards and Principles) 12:30-2 pm Comm. 101 (Introduction to Communication Theories) 2-3:30 pm Comm. 10a (Eectronic Newsroom 1) * I guess I'm the only one in the college with six different preparations. Most teachers teach only one or two subjects to different sections. In my case, I've got five major subjects with over 50 students, and one GE subject with low-level students (ha ha). I'm not really sure how I will survive the semester with so many different preps.

Good communication, timely revision, and effective work overall. Not only pretty-looking, but also adequate in content. Im pleased to let you know that this assignment received a grade of 85% from the instructor of this course whos confessed that she sees herself as a tough marker. Under these circumstances, I might be seriously interested in using this writers help for my upcoming Marketing project as well, which will be evaluated by the very same `tough` professor.

Steffi made it to the top 3 this academic year (2007-2008) in Grade 3. Aside from medal and certificate, she also got a 400-peso prize :-) Wow, what else can I ask for if both my son and daughter are consistent honor students? I just hope that the medals and certificates they get will make them better citizens of this country...

Another school year is about to begin in June 10. I think I have to post my kids' achievement last sem... Charles got the third highest honor among the Prep students in their school. This year, he's going to be in Grade one. White rose for me?

I participated in a five-day BPAP-ADEPT (Advanced English Proficiency Training) FACULTY-TRAINER WORKSHOP ON POWER METHODS from May 26 to 30. It was a workshop participated in by teachers of English from the different universities in the country. The participating schools included FEU (the host university), FEU-East Asia College, CEU Manila, Makati, and Malolos, PWU, Lyceum Cavite, NCBA, San Beda College, UE Caloocan and Recto, and University of Cebu. The workshop was sponsored by the Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) and the Asia Pacific Center (APC). The trainers were from APC. The workshop's goal is simple, though complicated: TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE INDUSTRY AND THE ACADEME. Since the event was sponsored by BPAP, definitely, they were the ones who set the goals and the agenda. When the president of BPAP and the Senior Marketing Executive (I forgot her name, sorry) spoke about the status of the BPO industry, I was quickly convinced that, ind...
