End of October 2011

October is about to end... so fast. It started rough but I'm glad it's about to finish with something I had accomplished. My previous post has something to do with my sentiments and frustrations yet I am glad to see the brighter side. Thank God.

The first two weeks of October were really stressful. Level III Phase II Accreditation really made us work hard like finishing papers and documents, accomplishing the previous visit's recommendations,and at the same time, have to cope up with my classes to finish our course syllabi. It was really tiring to major things at the same time. I was tasked to be the Chairman for the COE Extension Services Unit for BTTE... It is hard to work on this area since we had to accomplished a lot of things though we do not have budget and  this area is a mandatory one! Guts and dedication are really needed to fulfill such responsibility. I am glad Dr. Gigante was there to assist and teach me. At some point during this time, I got frustrated and disappointed with how people treat me, not to mention names, but with lots of people who trust and believe on my capabilities, I was able to make it. Thank you. To sum up, I am thankful that we passed the Level III Phase II Accreditation! Kudos to everyone! Right after the accreditation day, our college treated us with a lunch at Partyland in San FDO. We watched movie afterwards. My first time to had such bonding with the faculty of the college of education.

Not to mention on the early part of this month,we celebrated the World Teacher's Day, Oct 5. Since I am one of the advisers of the College's Student council, we had to prepare on this. The class suspensions on the previous days made it hard for us to fix a lot of things that's why we needed to meet and gather in school even though there was class suspensions. I am just glad everything ended well and I am happy that we had placed smile in every teacher's face. Good job to all the Officers of the College of Education Student Council.


During the third week of October I needed to work hard and organize my works because I needed to finish my students' grades before the fourth week. And I am glad I was able to make it.  It is just that I have to budget time...proper time management is really important. Friday of the same week, Oct 21, we also had the closing ceremony of the Numeracy Program in Tinajero which I am the one in-charge for the closing. I took a lot of time making certificates and programs, but at the end of the day, I can say, "Mission Accomplished!" Thank you to all the Mathematics teachers and students of COE, the Rotary Club of Villa de Bacolor, and the Tinajero Elem School for making it a success. Thanks too to Jollibee who made it a little special.


 State Colleges and Universities Faculty Association of Region III (SCUFAR 3) Sports Festival held at Tarlac State University occupied my Oct 24-26. I played Badminton, Volleyball, and Relay but I didn't win. But I am glad that I was able to represent my university. I regret that I wasn't able to play my game the 100m dash because I came late. well, lesson learned. I'll make up next year. I promise. In general, I enjoyed it for I had my closed friends with me. I was able to bond with them and talk a lot of things, anything under the sun. It was such a good experience. Thank you guys!




Following the SCUFAR 3, I needed to packed my things again as I needed to go with the Rotaractors in Pagudpud Ilocos Norte dated Oct 27-30 for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards 2011. I had fun though the travel made it exhausting. But nevertheless, the place was a nice spot... the waves and water attract tourists. Though the people's (local) accommodation was really outdated and lacks hospitality, I still find it a must-see place..and I am looking forward to be here again in the future.  I was also able to see other places in Ilocos Norte including a part of Cagayan. I love the wind mills! They're really fascinating. I was able to bond with other Rotarians from Sn Fdo P and Western Pampanga. They're kind and accomodating too. Though I am the only girl in the group except to Nicole,a Rotarian's daughter, I felt the respect. Thank you.











And today, I just want to spend the whole day with a bundle of rest!  And this blog post? I think it is just worthy to summarize this month since I had lots of accomplishments, activities and fulfilling experiences. I simply want to thank everyone who made this October a good one.








Let me Welcome November! A new month is about to come and I am looking forward for another journey in my life. I am looking forward for another accomplishments, planned and unplanned. I am looking forward for the start of my journey as a student, again, this time in the Doctorate level. I claimed that God will continuously shower me with His unconditional love and blessings.  Thank you Lord. Thank You for every little thing that you shower and bestowed upon me. I always give  back the glory to You.




Thank you October and Welcome November... hopefully a sweet November. =)
