Respect
I got sick last night….Maybe it’s because of the bad weather we’ve had for the past days….at times it rains and at times the sun just comes out…Though I’m fine now….I slept earlier than I used to and maybe I just needed some rest^^
We were busy in school….We have so many activities coming up as well….The kids though are very cooperative so I feel like the load is not too heavy to take^^…
Speaking of the weather again….its unpredictability can’t be controlled….just like some events or situations in our lives….So we must think about how we affect others on the things that we do….We must be aware of our actions and make necessary adjustments if we feel like we are being unfair to others….We should be careful with those things….The weather is not always on our side….
Maybe if we only have an open mind….we could be able to solve whatever disagreements we have….
Speaking of disagreements….I think we should humble ourselves…. Respect the other person if there’s a need for us to meet halfway…..Be sincere with our intentions….Understand each other….Give the other person a chance to show that he has an open mind, an open heart….Tell him with all fairness and dignity the grievances and plans you have….and you’ll be surprised even a bad person has a good side, a kindness in him…..
Now even the bad weather can’t pull you away from where you are….

Frustrations
I feel so helpless today…..I feel like there are so many things that we need to look into or prioritize especially in our work but things are too complicated and I feel so helpless, so confused right now….I think it’s not only I who feel this way, I guess even my co workers do….
It has something to do with our work…..Speaking on their behalf I have only good things to say about them….They’re doing everything they could to become good teachers in our school ….Even our principal works hard and is giving her best to make everything work well for us….I have great respect for them…..but then no matter how harmonious our working relationship is, some I should say bad air comes in the school making everything so complicated for us……not only for us but the whole community of public school teachers in our own division…..
Yesterday our club president attended a meeting during the anniversary of Angeles City Public School Teachers Association…..She told us today about what happened in the meeting …..She said they weren’t given the chance to voice out our sentiments regarding the six hours of teaching……They(some officials of the said organization) made a move against us teachers , she said, by opening the problem at the last minutes of the meeting….it was a move to keep us silent about the issue……Actually we must only teach for six hours and if we extend another two hours we should be compensated for it as an overtime pay….it was a a Republic Act which should be followed but is not in our very own division…..Why are we fighting for our rights?…..It is because if Republic Acts(which are to be given importance) were being violated, what about the other minor concerns that we have …..the more chances we have that those concerns will be violated as well…..
We are so frustrated…..There are other policies which we find so unfair but they are being implemented…..What has happened to us my fellow teachers?….I feel so sorry that we let these things happen to us…..There are so many things that I wanted to say and vox is the only confidant that I have right now….till next time….
“If you can’t do what this department is asking you to do….Find another job”….Superwoman.

God Loves Us
God Loves Us
We were poor kids who had nothing to offer….
We were little kids who had nothing but hope….
But we survived coz God loves us…
Our house was built out of scraps of wood….
There was a storm and there were openings on our roof….
But we survived, coz God loves us….
We shared a simple meal everyday….
At times there’s even none to share…
Yet we survived, coz God loves us…
Our parents have wounds in their hearts….
Yet they worked hard to keep us alive….
So we survived, coz God loves us….
If you think God doesn’t love you….
You won’t survive in this world…
You will be lost like a driftwood…
But if you believe in Him…
You will survive till the end….
God loves us…don’t ever forget….
