This poem was done overnight...whew!(talagang rush)Thanks God I did it or else, my students will have no performance number in this afternoon's program..(haha..muntik na talaga)

                                    N - U - T - R - I - S - Y - O - N

                                  N - Noon pa man ito na ang ating pinapangarap.
                                            Malusog na katawan, ating hanap-hanap.
                                            Paano kaya natin ito makakamtan?
                                            Halina't pakinggan ang aking mga kaibigan.
         
                                   U - Unahin na natin ang pagkain ng prutas at gulay.
                                            Upang maging masigla ang araw-araw nating buhay.
                                            Nagbibigay ito nang sigla at lakas sa ating katawan.
                                            Kaya halina't sabay-sabay natin itong tikman.
                        
                                  T - Tayo'y kumain din ng karne, isda at iba pa.
                                           Pandagdag resistensya sa katawan nating maganda.
                                           Sana lahat tayo'y maging ganito kagana.
                                           Sa pagkain nang tama, balanse at masustansya.

                                  R - Resistensyang dulot ng gatas ating kailangan.
                                           Pampahimbing ng tulog at pampalakas din naman.
                                           Ito'y ating ugaliin sa tuwi-tuwina.
                                           Upang katawa'y palaging masigla.

                                    I - Ikaw ba'y marunong ding mag-ehersisyo?
                                           Kailangan mo ito, pampalakas ng ating mga buto.
                                           Ugaliin ito sa araw-araw.
                                           Sa paaralan man o sa inyong bahay.

                                  S - Sapat na tulog at pahinga atin ding kailangan.
                                           Upang trabaho natin ay maging magaan.
                                           Huwag abusuhin ang ating katawan.
                                           Sapagka't kailangan tayo ng bayan.

                                  Y - Yaman itong maituturing.
                                           Kaya kalusugan ay ating intindihin.
                                           Kaya't tayo na, ating pagyamanin.
                                          Tuwing Hulyo, ito'y ating alalahanin.

                                 O - Oo nararapat din nating pakinggan.
                                          Payo ng ating mga magulang.
                                          Ingatan ang ating katawan.
                                          Palagi natin itong aalagaan.

                                 N - Ngayon na, Ngayon na, Ipagsigawan na!
                                          Para sa katawang masigla,
                                          At para sa bayang masagana.
                                          Wastong nutrisyon ipatupad na!

A Tribute to Mam Zeny

This is a tribute to the person I look up to, Mam Zenaida Mallillin (our principal for 1 and a half years). She is not just  humble but a good person inside and out. She's the one who always believed in everything that I do, and pushes my self confidence all the time. I would like to thank her for all the things she has done for me and for the school (CRACMES). This is for you Mam, I love you po!

Parable on Rash Judgement

It's because I had this habit of collecting inspirational quotes, articles and stories from newspapers, magazines and books that I read, I had this one in my bulk of collection. It is an article from an old newspaper, (in Father BEL R. SAN LUIS's column "Word Alive"). Read this, it's so inspiring!                                                                            
                                                                                  ***

                     A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport.

                     As she  would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her

                    time. She also bought a packet of cookies.

                                                                                    

                     She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read  in     

                     peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in next 

                     seat, opened his magazine and started reading.

                                                                                  

                     When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but

                     said nothing. She just thought: "What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch 

                     him for daring!" For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was

                     infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene.

                                                                                  

                     When only one cookie remained, she thought: "Ah...What this abusive  man do
                     now?" Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one

                     half.  Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! She looked at the man

                     with dagger eyes and in a buff, took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding

                     place.

                                                                                

                     When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to

                     take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there untouched,

                     unopened! She felt so ashamed! She realized how wrong she was. She had forgotten 

                     that her cookies were kept in her purse.

                                                                                

                     The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter...

                     while she had been very angry. And now there was no chance to explain her self...

                     nor to apologize her rude behavior.

                                                                                   ***

                     LESSON: Are we like that lady at times--quick to judge and attribute 

                    wrong motives to other's action without first knowing the truth?

                    Be careful in judging others, imputting bad motives against others.

                                                                                

                    Rash judgement is forbidden by God's 8th Commandment: "You shall not   

                    bear false witness against your neighbor." There are four things that you 

                    cannot recover. The stone...after the throw! The word...after it is said! The

                    opportunity...after the loss! The time...after it's gone!

                   

                                                                                 

My Teacher Is my Hero

Last week as I was looking for a nice book at Booksale (Waltermart), I found this one entitled "My Teacher Is My Hero." I immediately picked it up and browsed the pages. It's a great book and it has lots of inspiring stories inside.

I will just share the Introduction written here, which I'm sure will inspire the teachers out there.
                                                                              ---

       "Teachers come in all shapes, sizes, and specialties. A teacher isn't always someone who  

       earned a degree and shows up at school every day urging you to crack your books and work 

       hard to achieve the highest grades. A teacher can be a coach; a music, art, writing, or 

       photography instructor; a mentor; a beloved relative; a close personal friend; an acquaintance; 

       someone you meet on a journey; a shaman; or even a student who turns the tables. But all 

       teachers have one thing in common--they nurture the light they see shining brightly in others and

       often give selflessly in order to do so.

       The best teachers are fabulous characters--full of spitfire and vinegar--who love what they do

       and convey enthusiasm for learning, respect for responsibility, and a certain joie de vivre. Most  

       have unusual conviction and a sense of moral imperative--they believe in your potential and will

       do whatever it takes to unearth it and set it ablaze. The best teachers teach us indelible lessons 

       about life and how to live it. Unfortunately, even the best teachers may not receive the accolades

       they deserve, at least at the time services are rendered. Often we don't recognize their real 

       contribution until many years later, when that one small voice continually resurfaces and rescues

       and guides and inspires us--over and over and over."  

                                                                                              "My Teacher Is My Hero"

                                                                                           Edited by Susan Reynolds

                                                                                   ---
Though it wasn't Teachers Day today, I want this article to be a tribute to every teacher who serves as an inspiration to everyone. Just like the one I wrote here last October 2011, Teachers are Heroes. I want teachers to be pampered, loved and remembered sometimes.

Make your Life a Beautiful one!

APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS IN LIFE.

Enjoy the things that come our way, may it be simple or big. Sometimes those things that we take for granted are the ones that have a great importance in our lives.

BE DIFFERENT.

Don't afraid to take risks.  There's this saying from Norman Vincent Peale "When you wholeheartedly adopt a "with all your heart" attitude and go out with the positive principle, you can do incredible things." If you want to do something good to other people, do it the best you can and you can make a difference

TAKE POSITIVE ATTITUDES.

If you're feeling depress, take time to pray, ask for God's guidance and you'll be okay. Take those positive attitudes and forget the negative ones, they might ruin your life.

DON'T GIVE UP. BE STRONG.

In reaching for a dream, there will always be a time that you will experience hardships, pains, depressions and failures. But believe me, if you're determined to do it, and has faith in the Lord, you can make it. Don't give up. "You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." Hebrews 10:36

ENJOY LIFE.

Life is too short, so live life to the fullest. Do what you love the most. Do something good and be an inspiration to other people. Be different. Laugh. Travel often. Give love. and have faith in God.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

If you're feeling weak, think of the times that you've done incredible things despite the hardships and pains. And always believe that God is there to guide and help you. If you believe you can do it, you can do it, just believe in yourself.

                                      

GIVE THANKS.

Always give thanks to the Lord for all the blessings He had given us, may it be small or big.
