– Corruption in the Philippines by Maria Ressa
Sometimes doing the wrong thing seems to be the only way to get ahead. I’ve heard so many Filipinos say that – particularly the street-savvy operators who are trying to get you to do the wrong thing!
You have to find the courage to say no. You have to do what’s right – not just for your company, but for yourself. You have to find...

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. ...

Thesis, like whoa.: Reflections on Teaching →
katiekochthesis:
For the next steps in my thesis prototyping/development I’m thinking about what it means to collect content from teachers about their classroom experiences. Having just taught a class this morning I ran the first prototype on myself. Using a text editor I went through in my mind and wrote the…
Overheard students by the corridor whispering:
“Mahirap magpaexam si Ma’am Olores eh..” (Ms. Olores gives difficult exams)
I continued walking and after a minute or so,
I turned around to look who they were,
turns out they weren’t even my students!

Halfway done with my Operation Delete Friends in Facebook.

The electric outlets in my room aren’t working. And since I gotta watch some TV and use the computer, I’m gonna have to sleep in the living room. Urggh!
It’s just so hard to be a teacher.
It was so easy for me to check their papers because there were few answers.

Why is it so hard to hide my emotions?
When I’m mad, it shows…
When I’m happy, I can’t hide the smiles.
When I’m lonely, it can easily be felt.
