Patience is a virtue thats what we commonly hear from those people of great wisdom. And I would say, it's absolutely right! As the new semester unfolds, this is one thing that I need to develop: PATIENCE. I'll be meeting new sets of students with different abilities, attitudes and perspectives in life. Another challenging yet fulfilling experience for me. As usual, I need to do my job well, not only as their teacher, but someone whom they can talk to, run to and shared to with their ups and downs in life.  That's what I usually does. I captured their heart as much as possible. There were students who made a lasting impressions in my heart. Those kind that listens and take heed to my advices.  I thank God that HE blessed me with the kind of heart who knows how to listen, how to feel and how to be just being real. I am not perfect, but at least with my imperfection, I am able to emphatize and symphatize with them. Today is the first day of my class! May God bless me and equipped me with wisdom and strength for the hours, days, weeks, months and years ahead!

It's hard to budget your income when you don't earned that much. Reality bites: We often spend on thing that we want than those that we really need. Saving might be an issue to most of us. I can attest to that because every payday, the amount was already allocated to things like debts, bills and transportation allowance for the next 15 days. In as much as I want to set aside even just a small amount, I failed it's because I just don't have extra money to set aside. It's all within the budget and allocations- no more budget for savings.I tried to seek help through saving expert but seems like too difficult to manage.

I missed the TCP last week on which the theme is all about DRAMA. I cannot let this month end without my post about drama. This might be late but still I would like to insist not to miss the movie that I am going to feature. This has been my all-time-tear jerking favorite drama movie

This is one drama movie with a comedy twist that I would highly recommend. Though the language is in Italian but it has sub-title and some dubbed this movie to English for general viewing. This movie would really pierced your hearts to the deepest! This is all about the love of a father to his very innocent son.I watched this almost 7 years ago in Cebu during one of our Summer Training Program with the Navigators, Int'l.Though it has a very sad ending but this is one movie that I will never ever forget. Here's the excerpt of the movie:
In 1939, Guido, an Italian Jew, falls in love with Dora, who isn't Jewish. He woos her away from the Fascist official she has been dating, and they get married. Their son Giosue grows up among growing anti-Semitism. As the war progresses, Guido and Giosue are arrested and taken to a concentration camp. Dora goes too, determined not to separate the family. In the midst of the horrors of the camp, Guido protects his son by pretending that survival in the concentration camp is an elaborate game with which Giosue must play along or be sent home.
