believe in people

I have been very busy with my life these days...

Last week saturday, I attended English Only Please Club event for the first time. I met nice Japanese people there and I enjoyed my time there. It's nice because I believed... it is a good exercise for me. :-)

I want to believe in people. I want to be happy and cry because of them. Usually I just pretend to enjoy my time with ppl... but I really want real fun. So Ishould be really involved... how? believe in people. How to I really did that? The memory of it lasts longer.

I have homework for tomorrow but I haven't finished them yet. I hope my areas needs improvement have to be pointed out by teacher.

good night.

oh By the way, tonight I enjoyed a time with my roommate. We went to a nearby cafe newly established. I hope that we can talk like that often...I didn't have to worry about anything.

Japanese Junior Sounds Friendlier in Text

Today, the Japanese exchange student (my Japanese friend's junior) sent me message informing me of his subject and schedule).

Also he sounded friendlier in text message recently.

I wonder what happened to him.

Perhaps his view of me changed??
If so, what did I just do?

Or it is his natural characteristic to do that.

I will publish his text messages to me later.

Important words for education

i dont like it when teachers or professors use the following words not to improve their way of teaching for students:

spoonfeeding
independent study
teacher as facilitator
outcomes based education
independent learning
constructivism
multiple intelligence
content vs skill
unique teaching style
learner-center
learning pace

These are very important words.
They are doctorate holders they should know meaning of these words and not use it for corruption.

Schedule for 1st Semester (June-October)

So this is my final schedule for this semester. It looks so hassle because I have to travel to 3 campuses in the midst of heavy traffic in the city just to attend the classes. 

Tomorrow I will finally enter the class. I hope every professor is already present. 

So as I wrote before, I filed a complaint against my professor for her malpractices. 

Until now I am waiting for the result. Sigh. The higher officials say that they will withhold the process until that professor already submitted the grades. Students' grades must be prioritized (that professor might do something bad with the grades 'coz of the complaint). 

But they should hurry up and be wary of "justice delayed is justice denied."

Larry Graham - One In A Million You

Love had played it's games on me so long
I started to believe I'd never find anyone
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in, said, "You can't win"
But one day the sun came a shinin· through
The rain had stopped and the skies were blue
And oh, what a revelation to see
Someone was saying "I love you" to me

A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own
And life is worth livin·again
For to love you to me is to live

A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you
A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
One in a million you
A one in a million you

Japanese junior

Yesterday, I hung out with my Japanese friend's junior. It was the first time we met. It's his second week of staying here in Cebu. We met in front of his dorm. 

We went to Starbucks and to the supermarket near it to buy water dispenser. We also went to Robinsons cybergate to take our dinner together and and Robinsons (original mall) in Fuente to buy table for his water dispenser. 

For almost the entire time, I felt something was the matter. It was probably because I was nervous.

It was my first time to hang out with a guy like that. 

I usually shop alone, eat alone, and walk alone. When I do those, I usually do it with my own family and few close friends who are familiar with my personality and behavior. And I felt I couldn't come up with an interesting topic. So I was concerned he might felt bored when he was with me. 

If I rate my mood level at that time, it's 5/10. And if I rate the atmosphere, it's pobably 4/10.

I should improve next time. First, I should identify his needs. 

Last night he said he felt nervous and frustrated. He didn't know that he had to pay for the language academy, which is very expensive. So he has to call his professor to ask whether he should enroll in language academy or in school of education for this semester. 

What I can do for him now is to give him prospectus of BSED-English and the requirements for enrollment of foreign student. I will go to office of external affairs now to ask for it.

To hang out with a Japanese guy

Tomorrow I will hang out with my Japanese friend's junior.

He wrote to me I'm his first friend.

Wow!! It's a pleasure for me!

I should do my best to give him good information about our culture and what he is expected to do.

I already wrote some things for what to talk about tomorrow.

Now, my eyes hurt and I have headache.

I wrote to him we will meet tomorrow at starbucks. But I want to change it into another cafe because starbucks might be boring for him.

It's his 2nd week of staying here

If I'm his first friend, then he is the 5th Japanese guy with whom I hang out.

I hope we will get along with each other.

Troublesome effects of the K-12 transition

I am dealing with problems in my university. And there is another problem I found out today.

My country's law on education changed; our curriculum has turned into k-12 curriculum. 

In my university, the students enrolling in the old curiculum are expected to graduate in May 2019. 

But some students can't anymore. They have many subjects they cannot take because the department does not offer it anymore. If they want to avail the class for the semester, they have to pay a higher price compared to the original. So some students transfer to other university.

I have similar problem. This semester I have to complete 28 units. There are 8 subjects for that. But I cannot enroll for two subjects because of university's problem. So early morning tomorrow, I will go to the department again and be the first person to talk about the matter and see what we can do. I have to do it so I can graduate and not enroll in senior high.  

These are my lacking subjects. I will have to finish those I marked 1 and 2 within this school year (2017-2018). 

Sigh. Students are made to work hard and take responsibility that is not due to them. 

The university should offer classes for those students at this stage because they cannot let them go back to senior high. This is result of k-12 curriculum transition.

Sigh. What a troublesome universit.y.

Theme, Mission and Purpose

I talked with my friend last night and told him about the condition in my university.

He's right. I need theme and mission to show my professors my vision for future. I should think of it very well.

If I pursue this, what does it mean?

Is this only for univerisity graduates? What does this mean for those who didn't enter the university?

Last night, he said, "I didn't graduate university but my life is not so bad."

Something is the matter with this statement.

I should think of the purpose of my vision very well.
