Good Friends I Have, Good Friends I Lost (Bayombong, Bayombong Half Of My Heart Is In Bayombong)

The most pathetic moments had begun I would abandon my lovely,silly buddies and I was not willing to abandon them. Their moments with me will be the unforgotten. I miss my memories when I talked, shared, mocked, bullied with my buddies. Dear, Tina, Kate, Queen, Juna, Neil, Ina, Geg, Brix, and the others, I will always miss you, love you, thank you so much thank you for your support, guidance, favor, thank you for everything. I don't know how to reveal my sense because I'm crying moaning our moments there in Inang Maria, Saint Mary's, Solano, Lower Magat, Robinson, Mc Do 😢😢😢
Especially to ma'am Matet, ma'am Liberty, and miss Alexa, they are the true multitasking women. I'm so ashamed because I did not do the best and I sometimes bothered them in their office because of my teaching's problem and others business.

I was giving away the plaque to ma'am Matet and ma'am Liberty

I believe we can be together and meet again in another chance, thank you Philippines, thank you Saint Mary's, thank you Bayombong.

One expression to my buddies " In this bright future you can forget your past, so dry your tears I said" this quote is No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley. I Love You All 💖💗💘💙💔💓💝😍😍😩😖

We Are Young Yet We Are Not Dumb And Broke 😎😎

10 Mapagkalinga

Even though I only knew you all for 14 days, I am happy, I am sad, I am confused to illustrate what i am wondering 😓😔😣😫 To my dearest pupils you are not only students but also my friends, my siblings, my sisters, my brothers, I appreciate your works, your attention, your opinions when I taught you all in class. I did not mind if you ignore me for we are from different culture and we had different treatment. You are all amazing wonderful young spirit!!! Keep study hard! Kick your fears! Reach your dreams as high as sky! I am only student but I am eager to teach, to guide, to share with you if only I had had chance. Thank you so much for Mariners, Explorers, and Mapagkalinga and for Mariners you are my beloved class. I love and will miss you Tanya, Justine, Dannah, Dan, and the others. I apologize if I had taught you too fast, too rush, unclear because I am still learning how to be a better person and teacher even if I do not like to be teacher 😅😅😅.
Sincerely your former tutor, your ate eheheheh 💛💜💞💝

HOCUS FOCUS!!!! I Asked My Students To Stop Singing And Buzzing

When I had explained three topics in a week, my cooperating teacher told me to prepare the quiz. The quiz which I prepared included 2 topics, such as pronouns and coherence-cohesion. I arranged 20 items of quiz, there were 2 parts of quiz, filling in the blanks and jumbled sentences.

I attached an article and Sweet Child O' Mine song by Guns N Roses

When the music was playing, some of my students sang and buzzed but the others were still focus to listen to the song because I only played twice. Eventually, we could discussed and I had a chance to explain more because some of my students had their own answers/another answers. I was surprised they were improving their critical thinking by showing their opinion when I was explaining the answers. 

                                                                                            The students were concentrating 

Physiognomy ( G Is Not Pronounced)

On February 7th, I had complicated topic which was Physiognomy and I instructed my students to pronounce "Physiognomy" they were incorrect to pronounce "Physiognomy" they pronounced "fisiognomi" but the correct pronunciation is " fisionomi" [ˌfizēˈä(g)nəmē]. We become silly and ridic because of we tried to pronounce that word without vocalized the "g". Afterwards I had to discuss about two essays, the essays were Montaigne's excerpt (Physiognomy) and Contemporary Online Essay. The true meaning of Physiognomy is a study about person's character based on the face features or items. Before I gave my students activity or exercise, I had to introduce and gave a demo by choosing one of my students to come forward with me. I presented my student's face by observing a part of the face then I let my others student to explain about her/his character.

After I finished my explanation, I conducted my students to join with their group and did some activities on English textbook. They were able to complete the activities less than 15 minutes and I asked them to submit to me because we did not have more time to discuss.

First Teaching, First Experience

On Monday, 29th January was my first time to teach grade 10 and I also submitted my 3 lesson plans during a week. My temper was not stable ahahaha 😄😄 I did not prepare everything well, so I always surrender to face the truth of my proficiency in English and my teaching. First class which I taught was 10 Mariners; moreover, my first topic was The Adventure of Don Quixote. The topic explained about reading comprehension and practicing moral values which implied on the story for Don Quixote story is telling about mad person. Before I conduct the material, I cheated on my lesson plan 😄😄🙈😱 for I was not sure to deliver my topic in sequence. I realized while I was conducting the class I did not communicate effectively; thus, my students were not able to ask me, to do the task confidently. 

10 Mariners

Because of the limit time I delivered in rush, every meeting needed one hour, so I skipped some questions in discussion. Second class was Mapagkalinga, in this class there are 50 students, I was hopeless to teach many students in that class. I would be defeated by their voices, their behaviors. Fortunately, my cooperating teaching had already told me that the most crowded and hyperactive class is on 10 Mapagkalinga. When I taught 10 Mariners I had informed my class regulations yet I forgot to inform my class regulation on 10 Mapagkalinga. During my teching on Mapagkalinga, some of them were paying attention on me and some of them ignored me. I must be patience to conduct that class like my cooperating teacher said. I was not satisfied of my two classes, I passed many points which I should elaborate about the story.

10 Mapagkalinga

The last class of my first teaching was 10 Explorers and I attempted to explain more about the points of the topic clearly. I felt there was an increasing of my ability and proficiency even though I was not capable to conduct the class. For 10 Explorers students they were eager to focus on my teaching and some of them could grasp my delivering easily and faster about the topic.

I Met Bright Stars In Bayombong's Sky

Orientation day at four pillars with ma'am Liberty and sister Crisp

On January, 23rd 2018, I joined opening ceremony at AVR-room of Saint Mary's University and the students college were also participating to welcome the students exchange from Indonesia. My batch-mates and I dressed up with Indonesian's traditional clothing which were Kebaya blouse and traditional batik jarit (skirt). As the student exchange, I presented my attire because those items are legacies from Javanese and I'm proud to show off my costume in opening ceremony. Besides, I sang pop-rock song by Indonesian band which was Cokelat and the song is Bendera. We sang together and pursued the participators to clap their hands and cheer.

After I joined the opening ceremony, ma'am Liberty asked the exchange students to visit the school immediately. She brought me to the Principal's room and advised to meet my cooperating teacher.

Eventually, I met my cooperating teacher and her name is ma'am Audrey G. Bruno, she is English teacher who teaches on grade 10 for Mariners, Explorers, and Mapagkalinga. I met her to discuss about the lesson, lesson plans and materials, observation before I started to observe her on January, 24th. 

She instructed to me to make 3 lesson plans for next Monday on January 29th because it would be my first teaching, so I must complete 3 lesson plans and submit to her on Friday.
