Now we have to spend to tame How the "Angry Birds" but this will have to happen for a long time to come. From experience, one becomes angry too as you play the game because the target becomes more difficult to hit.
So Plants vs. Zoombies enthusiasts - where are you? Have you met the Angry Birds? Have you come to the point of getting angry yourself?
With all our agenda in life, is there really a place for Plants vs. Zoombies and now, The Angry Birds?
Fellow mentors, try these games if only for the sake of curiosity. Then tell me your personal feedback. Meet Plants vs. Zoombies and Angry Birds.

What is it about travelling that gets you going?

From my end, it is the new adventure and the "thud" in your heart especially when you face the immigration officers who look "mean" and go around the new environment with complete dependence on your tour guide. Then just when you decide to let go of the newness of it all, the scenery before you makes you wish all of it can be replicated back home.
Take a look at some of these awesome sites . . . and we do acknowledge the "developed" country that Singapore is and Kuala Lumpur too.
Yet for us who have lived for more than half a century, we get to give more importance to realities that truly matter: love of family with the children as the people dearest to your heart and one's home where everything natural is - the feeling that in it is the genuine belongingness and being who you truly are.
So to get back to the question: what is it about travelling that gets you going? It is basically to get away but only for a short time and travel back home to come home to stay.
With Teacher's teacher senior citizen status, it is a wonder to be able to wander around Cebu to Singapore to Malaysia back to Singapore to Cebu and finally home. For Teacher's teacher it is another opportunity to share to her students the bigger world out there and inspire them to see it for themselves!
Let some photos speak for itself . . .
Singapore is famous for its Universal Studio where Resorts World is or is it RW where Universal Studio is. Also a Singapore trademark is Marina Tower: 56 stories! So up there, we see the grand city.
Our trip to Malaysia was the "icing on the cake" what with the generosity of Datu and Datin and Zaiful. We went around Kuala Lumpur inside a "Hummer" and a tour guide who is the son of an Ambassador - how's that for a treat?
Succeeding blogs will feature more sites which we can only remember with much candor for now we have come home and of course it has to be said: With all the feasts one's eyes can only behold and leave us tongue-tied and awed, our hearts still prefer our home.
You hear of someone's rise to fame
All laurels sometimes rest on one
Then we see the financially challenged
All the street children's lot unchanged.
One heaves a sigh for a life lost
All because the lawmakers fought
Society is shaken for the chaos caused
Who can be spared from this for naught?
Generations of new and old query
When do all these realities go wary
Wonder no more but be ready for sure
"Death makes every person accountable"
To you my fellow sojourner
Take a moment or so to ponder
Whoever you are and whatever state you are kept
"Death makes you and I indebted."
This was the poem Teacher's teacher came to compose as Angelo Reyes, a statesman, an achiever but basically human, a person like every citizen is, is now with the Maker because he was forced to take his life hopefully for a greater good.
Now that Teacher's teacher is a blogger who "Blogs at Sixty" time is a luxury to be treasured. Also, the realization is clearer that just as life is real so is death. There is no status that bars death from visiting anyone of us. All we can do is pray that our God takes care of us and decides when our time becomes up at a time when we too are ready.
"Everybody will turn out fine" in God's plan . . . " by Mom R
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 5:42 AMThis is my initial feeling as the time allows me to be alone
Up to when this hunger will last only its duration can hone
But once in a while I get to complain
Will life ever be the same again?
Children make us work all day to serve food on the table
Then they go to school forever and then suddenly they become capable
This is life - on one side its beauty
This is life - on the other side its strife.
That's why when I was watching "Everything's fine"
I asked myself : is everything really fine?
The father, Robert D Niro, speaks for all parents
They just want to become good providers to their children.
So as life goes on it is good to believe that "everybody is indeed fine"
For should you disagree, can you do something better?
As it is the children grow up and become their own persons
Time to let them be as parents too go their way.
But we all know this is what life's teaching us
We all go through the course, one by one
Sometimes, however, it is not all fun
So once in a while there's pain and there's pain
Still everybody will turn out fine as planned
And we go on if only to be open to what lies ahead
Only God knows how and when things will end
So let us stop and talk awhile while we can.
No offense meant but after so many orders of fast food one can only relish nutritious food being served at table! But what can most do with the busy schedule that seems to siphon much of our energy? How can you enjoy the food you so patiently prepared and cooked when your body refuses to give you the reception you so wanted to possess? A much more ready- to- eat fast food, hot and outwardly presentable and delicious seems more inviting.
With so man reality shows that we see on tv, some titles are inspiring like "losing it with jillian" or "the big loser". Definitely teachers like me who have reached the high 60 must come to terms with "mortality". These seem to be my preoccupation nowadays what with so many of our colleagues "going ahead". But this will be thet topic in my next blog, for now, it is losing weight. Do you have tips? Let us exchange notes. At the moment, I am just conditioning myself to begin soon . . .
So have you ordered fast food lately and often? Perhaps we can still do so but it should be less than more. Also, these fast food chains should reconsider their policy about not offering 20% discount to senior citizens. All the more the elderly should avail of the discount especially when they are alone in their homes. Calling DTI and the DSWD!
To fellow senior citizens-teachers, how are you doing?
The College of Teacher Education, Bukidnon State University, Malaybalay City just passed Level III during the accreditation done by AACCUP last December 2010- Congrats CTE! Now, the challenge is to make sure all our graduates, if not, at least as many, pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers. Personally, I really try to do my share being one of the teachers of CTE myself.
I would like to invite alumni, especially my students who have succeeded and are now working as teachers in the field to make a comment here and together do something concrete for our would-be LET takers, anyone?
So why do we prefer to say that life teaches all teachers? We say so because it is so. Look at all the events that we experience or observe, we find ourselves passive or active. The better option of course is to accept whatever life offers and from it become better and do better. A wise person did say "once a teacher always a student." Agree?
Fellow teachers, friends and followers, here we go again!
If not for Ryan and Analyn, my Neo computer was unable to go on line. Others say it is because my lowly computer is considered "garbage unit in China". People can really be cruel. My daughter could not help but get mad at these people but this made me think, someday, why not Apple?
Still, my neo compu has been my companion and I have not yet fully explored its features so Neo it is unt il it decides to desert me.
Good News! I have come up with an Instructional Material on Peace so expect me to share some excerpts. You can order if you like. If you have something like this, let us exchange notes.
At this juncture, allow me to say my greetings: Belated Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, advance Happy Valentine!
A loved one experienced this cruelty. His hard earned motorcycle was "driven away" by the expert criminal and this happened in front of an eatery where in fact they were eating and talking. To this day, we have to wait for six months to receive a declaration of non-redemption. The sad part is that we continue paying the motorcycle although we lost it to the robbers. The only hope left is the fact that we were able to choose an insurance that allows us to be given a brand new replacement. It will soon be six months since the "abduction " so expect a blog documenting whether or not the company makes good its promise.
Have you seen these culprits? We rejoice if now and then, we hear some of them caught "in flagrante delicto (caught on the act). In some instances, some have to be hurt or killed because the owner fought for what was his property.
May there be strong vigilance and police presence everywhere in our country, the only christian country in Asia.
With scenarios, like these, can we ever have happy persons? Can you come out of the trauma of being victimized by these able-bodied robbers?
Happy persons, where are you?
