Christmas Wish

I have a bunch of Christmas wish, but the only thing I wish for is that my parents to have a good, long and healthy life. I'm not going to wish something for myself but for them. I wanted them to enjoy life and give them all the best that I could. Its just that there are things that is out of my hands and I'm not in control with. I hope I could in a way make them happy in my own special way.

NSTP Recollection

The Xavier University NSTP contact persons held their recollection and Christmas party today. I was really enrich today. I have learned a lot of things from the recollection. I am proud to say that I encounter God's presence today. I discover that I would have much problem if only I listen to God's will and always believe in what He feels for me. The secret is that we just got to believe no matter how hard our plight is. Just always bear in mind to never stop believing, never lose hope and never give up. I was touched with all the messages that God gave me. I feel so lucky to be there today. Last year I failed to attend the alternative Christmas because I was completing my course in microsoft computer literacy course.

NSTP

Today is the christmas party of the NSTP tutees. I was five minutes late. It was the first time that I came in late in school for the Reading tutorial. The children were very happy. Their tutors gave them something, they have their card making activity, games, storytelling on the life of Jesus and they have feeding. I was kinda worried at first because the barangay failed to come who provides all the cooking materials for the feeding. I decided to get the materials in our house instead of waiting for nothing. I thought it was impossible to have a feeding activity luckily parents like Maam Nieves help provides materials and in cooking.

Christmas Card

Christmas time is fast approaching. Today I let my pupils make their own personalized Christmas card for their parents. They all have good choice in color combination and some still needs practice in writing their thoughts in the card but the card which I really notice was that of Rachel. Before we did the activity she told me that her mom has already gone to heaven so I told her just make one for her dad. When it's already time to pass their work I read her message to her dad. It was really beautiful. Rachel's messages moved me. I was really touched how she thank and acknowledge her father's love for them. I hope that she will fulfill her promise to her dad and grow up to be a mature and responsible child to her dad. Her mom must be so proud of her.

Points to ponder

Many people are hungry of power and position. Naturally they wanted to be on top and do whatever it takes to be there. It is ok to dream, it is alright to reach for a goal and there is no wrong in trying to make it to the top. What is wrong is that when we do things beyond our limitations just to get what we want without thinking what other people might feel and think. What is wrong is that we step on other people's right and deprive them of their opportunities. We are all equal here in this planet. We are all created to image and likeness of God but people are destroyed because of such mentality of wanting to get all they wanted. Let us not be blinded of such wants. We must think what is good for each and everyone of us here setting aside our own and personal interest. We must work hand in hand to solve all our problems. Let us stop blaming others of what happen. Let us hold on to our dreams and achieve them together. We must then do something before it is too late. I know we can make it if humility reign in our hearts, cooperation and sacrifices are made surely we are going to succeed.

Debt

I'm always a victim of borrowers who failed to pay their debt. I don't know maybe I'm just too good to get angry or confront them of the money they owed me. Ever since college my classmates wanted to borrow money from me. I'm ok with it as long as they are going to pay me. The sad thing was some of them even now that I'm already in the service there are still some teachers who failed to pay their debts. I feel that this is really unfair because even if I'm still single I still have a life on my own to live and bills to pay. Unlucky me I don't have a husband to help shoulder my budget and all that. Just recently somebody wants me to apply for a loan worth 80 thousand imagine I'm a fool to let myself borrow money from the bank with the money that I'm not going to use. An angel told me not to let this happen and that my decision to say yes to this loan thing is not good. I just got to thank her because I was able to refuse on saying yes to this loan thing. Thank God I was saved.
