A tribute to families who travel together - while mom and dad can go with them
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 8:05 PMGot to see the world as a family
Kids you've now grown
Before your own children come
Let the original family be together for once
And see the world as one
Bring it on: Pa, Ma, Ate, Kuya, Diko and Bunso
Got to see the world as family, as one
It can be Cebu, Bohol,Boracay, Davao
and later Hongkong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur
You may wonder why wander
When the home is the place to be
Why not stay put and avoid the expense
Your answer lies when the travel finally comes
Guaranteed it is that when you do travel as a family
Each member comes home better and more able to see a bigger world
Better grasp why people differ and yet are greatly similar
We view the world from eyes that are more open
Avail of Cebu Pacific's great discounts
Then there is Air Philippines too.
Do not take too long for Papa and Mama
May not be physically and chronologically strong
Do not take too long then
Plan and save even now
And join me in the challenge
Go and see the world as a family.
This route: Cagayan de Oro City - Cebu City- Hongkong- Macau - Hongkong-Cebu- Cagayan de Oro City was the focus of Teacher's teacher in her most recent trip. It was a trip that she is so sure not to happen again for quite a time. It was a trip of her "senior citizen phase" with her four children all turned professionals and decided to still stay single. It was a trip that erased the notion that the children whom we insist on seeing as children still put the parents on their toes for painful it may seen, they are now the prime movers of the world they have "conquered" and are still conquering.
Science of Tsunami vs. Science of Everyday Living
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 5:34 AMAccording to experts, tsunami occurs when there is sudden movement at the bottom of the sea thereby causing friction of the "fault" and forcing the waves to move upward to as high as it can go. In the case of Japan, the 8.9 magnitude is the intensity of the movement and the waves that went up, went as high as 100 plus miles upwards. The data may be simplistic so may not be as scientific as it was intended but it would suffice to say that great damage had been done. When CNN showed it, the boats, the buildings, all other objects that got on its way were literally turned into rubble or were pushed to as far as it came from.
The "science" of everyday life, however, does not dwell much on the physical movements that go down under water. Rather, it focuses on the depth of realization that haunts every believer and drives him/her to question the extent of preparedness to meet the Maker if the tsunami were to happen and death was inevitable,
Teacher's teacher is trying to make something of both if only to stay sane and hopeful that things happen to remind us that this world is not meant to become perfect. Only that which is perfect can become one.
The call is always upon us to face our own "tsunamis" in life especially now that even the nuclear plant of Japan has caught fire.The challenge is now more intense since many countries will be affected, if not geographically then economically. Underdeveloped countries, like the Philippines, will always suffer more the consequences like oil increase which will now a valid reason to go on increasing.
While attention is on tsunamis, we should not totally forget another "tsunami" - kind of problem in Libya. The turmoil may not be about water but the anger and dissatisfaction of the Libyans towards their leaders. The Filipinos, who were forced to leave Libya, had to come home to a country where they felt they do not have good future in terms of employment if they had their way, they would have remained in Libya even it e was dangerous.
Life tells us that science or not, the one gift which should never be taken for granted is every person's life. For what it is worth: We are made in the image and likeness of the Creator of everything.
Tsunami photos captured do not replace the real thing . . .
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 1:51 PMCNN always delivers such that like the tsunami that hit Japan- its effects and damages are seen in every way: video, audio, still pics and the like. For teachers, the materials are exactly what are considered beyond books. Teachers can almost imagine every pupil and student transfixed as they hold on to what is being shown, teaching them in live color what a tsunami is and how it destroys everything that gets in its way.
For the onlookers, you might think it is awesome but for the victims, it means life or death.
Worst quake in Japan's history:8.9 in intensity. Tragedies of any kind always remind us "how fragile life is" according to U.S. President, Barack Obama.
Life, however, has to go on. This is where you and I can do something - big or small. Like the teachers in the Professional Studies Division, College of Teacher Education, plan to resume the rosary time daily - which is timely since the season of Lent has begun.
May God take care of Japan and the whole of mankind.

Good Teachers should also include Facebook and Twitter as qualifications
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 8:07 AMNever would it enter the mind of Teacher's teacher the need to open a facebook account nor a twitter site but time became ripe to open both.
Good teachers should already entertain the inevitable, that of having facebook and twitter accounts. Of course, young and advanced professionals have already done this so the advice is directed more for the fiftiesh and above.
Someday, the senior citizens will be bringing their own Apple compu set and/or i pod and why not?
The children are expected to be more patient in teaching their parents. Luckily, Chevy, Tennis Guru, always facilitate the on-the-spot IT session of Teacher's teacher.
Keep up fellas!
Today, Teacher's teacher greets Bukidnon, Happy 94 years old!
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 5:40 AMParades used to excite everybody before. Is it because there was clear understanding that the parade participants prepared what to wear so the onlookers do not waste their time waiting for a long time. Nowadays however, there is passivity that prevails. In addition, there is the sad realization that even the so-called costumes came to be worn with some doubt as to how it caime to be - prepared as priced or at a discounted rate, its genuineness has been minimized. Are there people to blame, who made money?
For people who have overcome indifference, the event is dominant over superficial details. Bukidnon celebrates its 94th foundation - this is the determining reason for jubilation.
Blogs at Fifty joins Teacherallherlife in thanking God for blessing Bukidnon with 94 blissful years. As the song persists: Wherever I may roam, the distant land to see. I to sweet long to go back soon, to sweet Bukidnon Home.Where lovely mountains high, with forests all and grand, bring memories to me, the home I long to see.
Ref. There, my heart, yearns to be, in faraway, Bukidnon land, Under its blue, starry skies, where love and joy never die.
Mabuhay ka Bukidnon, My Home!

When to speak out and when to just keep mum . . .
0 comments Posted by Malaybalay Blogger at 7:54 AMHave you had the experience of feeling you just have to speak out about certain issue and you did in one forum and yet after doing so, the feeling was one which is empty? This is my present predicament. The feeling is so all embracing, it is already CSI time, my favorite tv feature in Channel 22, AXN, the "bile" is still in my consciousness.
This leads me to the observation that it is better to keep mum or better still to become passive for as long as the benefits are there. What do you think?
Teachers, in general, prefer the latter than the former, I hasten to add. Or am I wrong?
So as I go on watching CSI, I will also go on reflecting on the dilemma I am in. I pray that tomorrow, I will wake up refreshed, renewed and re-oriented and geared for a better perspective on matters that only the day brings.
Have a "Suka" - not Duka" night. (A Malaysian taught me, duka means sad in their language while suka means happy.)
