DAY8: for the opportunity to TEACH; and the continuous dream of doing so...

-
YAY! Today I am super thankful for the God given opportunity to teach at the Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB and for giving me dreams of doing it again someday.


The Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB (ahem studied and taught here before) has once again bagged the top spot among all the Electrical Engineering schools in the country. Everyone who came from this school and took the exam this year (see results of EE board exams here) passed and three of them got into the top 10 (see here).

Modesty aside, it is nothing new and surprising. It should actually be not much of a big fuss since the great Department of Electrical Engineering at UPLB has been like doing it for a very long time already. PERO! I was able to handle some of the students in this batch kasi.

 It feels nice to see your students do and accomplish great things. Makes the heart grow big and happy. Super proud.. super proud of my students. :)

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW BATCH OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS FROM UPLB!!! 


Do good to your country and to your fellow men. Live your life well, and do not waste your potential on insignificant things. Find your purpose and pursue it; do not be blinded by the dreams of acquiring wealth and it alone. I think money or the acquisition of it... being the sole purpose of one's life is too shallow of a purpose to live with. Yay! Enjoy life! Share it. There's too much beauty in it too keep for oneself. BE an iskolar para sa bayan.


So I take today as an affirmation to go back... and teach. Though not yet now... everything shall be intentional and purposeful for that reason from here on.


PS. 

  • 7 out of 7 of my electricians passed their NCII Electrical Installation and Maintenance accreditation exam
  • a foreman passed the Registered Master Electrician Licensure Examination
  • a colleague from my company passed the board exam.. finally... i think
  • students from UPLB passed the board exam 100 %; 2 out of 3 of the students who topped the exam from UPLB were former students
lalalalalala!! happy me! happy me! :)

Crazy Cambodia Day1

I have been meticulously planning/ dreaming for this trip for the last 3-6 months and it is fantastic to finally be here and be outside of the Philippines. We booked an evening flight from Manila to Siem Reap, got out of our work modes (me having the easier part in getting out of work while tiah having a harder time to do so), went to the airport and boarded our flight. The flight to siem reap was tiring and we had a bit of a scare when we arrived because it felt like Siem Reap was a ghost town. But the Lord was gracious. He gave us a very good tuk-tuk driver and, a very good and cheap hostel accommodation. We woke up to a different country the next morning and this is our first  first impression of Siem Reap:

Siem Reap to Bangkok by Bus and by Train Day 3

We wanted to take our adventure to a higher level so we opted to go with the road less traveled. Booked a bus ticket to Poipet, crossed the border, rode a tuktuk to the train station at Aryanapathet and rode the third class train to Hua Lamphong station. Do not ride tuktuks in Thailand, most of them are scams so it is better to ride a metered taxi instead because they are generally better and more legit. Bus to Poipet (Cambodia side Cambo-Thai border) = 5 USD Tuktuk from Border to Aranyapathet station = 80 THB Do not ride tuktuks near the border, they usually charge you with a higher price. We rode the tuktuk near the 7-11 shop which is in front of the bank Train from Aranyapathet station to Hua Lamphong station = 48 THB Ride a metered taxi to your hotel. Make sure that the driver turns on the meter... This is our video log for day3 and how the third class train from Aranyaphathet border to Hua Lamphong looks like: We were DEAD tired after this trip... but we wil

Busy Bangkok Day 4

A dishonest tuk-tuk driver, a busy street just like manila, and two confused disoriented Indays started the Thailand part of our misadventure. We were apprehensive with Bangkok... But it was fun anyway. :)  We visited the grand palace (had some ultimate photo bum photos with Korean tourists- see photo above),  the reclining Budha (silly photos with funny looking statues) and Khao San road (below). I was mesmerized by the grandeur of Thailand's old religious architecture and I was enticed by Khao San's vibrant night life and energy! Haha! :) Saya!
