If there is any good point we can teach our young when the time comes, it is to learn as much as life offers them. Whatever may happen to them, they will decide accordingly and so when they have to decide whether to choose monogamy over polygamy will depend on the way faith and life will nurture his/her decisions.
As a Teacher myself and a mother at the same time, I have this strong faith in my children's decisions. This fear is going to be imbedded in our hearts for our children will have children of their own and onwards to more generations to come. What a way to view the bigger fact of life and in all of it we find out that we are only one thread in the cycle called life.
In the meantime, I go on with my present vocation to teach students to become teachers one day!
Even the weather is teaching us what's up with the world . . .

Just when Malaybalayan was up and going and prepared for school, the weather dampened the plan. This was unfortunate because the orders were soooo ready: hotcakes for a belated simple birthday celeb with colleagues; "cuchinta" and brownie b-day cake, a gift from Gigi on top of it. . . all sidelined by the weather that brought rain and cold winds.
What is the weather saying nowadays? It is teaching us the changes that are attached to the daily chores of living. The weather goes with one's feelings of sadness or happiness whatever one finds herself in. Sometimes, the weather determines the mood of a person and sometimes gets the better of her.
So let us make the weather get attuned with our day to day atmosphere so that it leans more on giving us the zest that we need if the day is to become more productive and more to our liking.
To the weather then, good day!

What a way to say, 62nd year old teacher teacher herself to to keep on teaching but really she must because the challenging of being a senior citizen and a teacher at the same time is taking its toll. If you visit her other blog, Elderly Blues and Blows, you can sense that she sleeps on a rocking chair to make her fall asleep and when morning comes, wake up and be ready for school!
This scenario is sometimes a cause of worry for her children because her bed is ready for her but then she prefers the rocking chair because it lulls her to sleep at the same time allows her to view her favorite television shows and facilitates early wake up time ready for school.
Now, more and more, Teacher's teacher is teaching herself to keep teaching perhaps for a year or two and then decide to "retire". She is mustering this strength to keep up with the routine that goes with active living.
Anyone out there who has the same dilemma? What are some tips to improve the way to overcome? In the meantime, this 62nd year old Teacher will keep teaching herself to keep teaching for sanity and purpose.
A teacher all her life, Malaybalayan claims that even at 62, life teaches her the most. In this instance of her natal day, her life is made complete with her grown children: Ayeng, Ben, Chev and Bon greeting her Happy Birthday, at the earliest opportunity when July 1 came to light. Family relatives and Friends called, twitted, blogged to greet her too. She offered mass at Cagayan de Oro Cathedral, Northern Mindanao, Philippines and received Holy Communion.
Teachers are persons with simple needs and so it does not come into the picture whether the food to be served consists of lechon and the like or just beef ribs, fried fish, avocado salad and Selecta Happy Birthday P125.00 half gallon. Happiness really stems from the people who care and pray that the birthday is a blessing for more birthdays and healthy times with loved ones.
So this Teacher turned 62, senior citizen and all but at heart, a young and happy person. thanks everyone, the world and God!
