the shenanigans of eenamorata

All the basic stuff one needs on a field trip.. (crossing fingers that I didn't forget anything) teachers can be excited on field trips too...  took too much time to pack my stuff. might've over analyzed things. 1. a carry on bag with a camera, wallet, umbrella, chocolate (in case of emergencies chocolates are good to satisfy hunger and supply the needed energy), phones, tissue,and mints 2. Medicine. anti cough tablets, visine, vitamin C, antihistamines and seretide (anti asthma thing) 2. Toiletries/ maintenance: soap, deo lotion, conditioner, shampoo, alcohol, cotton buds, facial wash, feminine wash etc. etc. etc 3. clothes for 3 days and two nights 4. chargers 5. again. the point and shoot camera (important) 6. a book. one hundred years of solitude  just in case i get lonely and OP because i'm already a teacher and i'm supposed to be mature (SUCKS BIG TIME) and part of my job is to take care of the students or something like that lalala

Ingredients: Elbow Macaroni around 300grams Water 1 cup of fresh milk 1 bar quickmelt cheddar cheese (Coarsely grated) 1 pack of Del Monte Cheese Magic (cheese Sauce) butter (around 140 grams yata. Basta the half of a regular butter bar) Procedure: 1. Boil The Elbow Macaroni, until its almost done. Make sure its a bit hard-ish but leaning more towards the soft-ish texture... Note that it should not be too soft because you are going to subject the pasta to a second stage of cooking. Kaya if you let the pasta become too soft at this stage, the end product will become soggy. We want the pasta to be al Dente... 2. Drain the water, but DO NOT rinse the pasta. 3. Dump everything in while the pasta is still hot. Grated Cheese, butter, cheese sauce and fresh milk. Turn the temperature dial to LOW, or else your Mac and Cheese will end up burned... 4. Mix, mix and mix until the mixture is smooth and thick and yummy. 5. EAT. I've discovered

I am now teaching about the different majors of our degree program to my Introduction to Electrical Engineering class. One of the main objectives of the course is to teach these freshmen kids the differences between the three majors to eventually help them choose their course majors when they reach their junior year. Apart from the usual lecture of definitions and examples, I was also trying to teach them to visualize and look forward to themselves after four years by writing it in paper, sharing it in groups and sharing the collective answers in class. An elderly boss once told me about Stephen Covey’s teaching. He said that I should always begin with the end in mind. So, that is what I was trying to do to my class; in the hopes that the activity that I was requiring would eventually inspire them to endure the challenges and struggles that they would encounter along the way. I was very honest, in terms of the current mortality statistics of our course; I even told them that if

                    We had family guests today. There were three toddlers, a high school student and five adults, all of whom (except for the yaya) are family.. the only ones we've got (or the only ones i know of) here in Laguna. It was nice to have kids (noisy kids) inside the house, it felt like the quiet house became alive when they came over. So I cooked for our lunch, this time I did chicken curry. Ingredients: Chicken Breast garlic onion turmeric coco milk evaporated milk potatoes carrots red bell peppers salt and pepper curry powder Procedure: Prepare the chicken, potatoes, carrots and bell pepper by cutting them into big cubes; around 1 inch per side. Dice your garlic onion and turmeric. Fry the potatoes and carrots until its half done. Set aside. (You can actually skip this step, but its nice to do this because the potatoes and carrots does not become mushy after boiling the whole concoction for cooking) On about a tablespoon of olive oil, saute your g

Its been a month of teacher-ing, letting go and moving on and as always, the Lord has been very good and faithful despite of my stubbornness, iniquities and whatevers, He never fails to show me how wrong I was and how right He is. And as always, He knows his way around me. I am amazed at how He's able to adjust with His strategies in dealing with me. If His way before was tears, this time it is the subtle humor of everyday surprises that leaves me in awe of Him. (should be writing something more about it soon or in multiply maybe). SO! I am in full teacher-ing mode for the past month. After trying to get a glimpse of how the fidgety minds of my students work, lulling up from school because the waters flooded the sun for awhile... I am now up for some serious teacher-ing business. These days, I busy myself with a lot of doodling and writing around. There's been a lot of X-es, circles, negatives and red marks. I also try to look serious by making my work station look
