It is now a day before the final examinations of my students, and i am really eager to finish all the paper works before the weekends so that i can tabulate and compute the grades just in time for the deadline set by the office.
The days before the final preparation of grades is really consuming my energy.This is the time when its really hard for me to start the grading since i will be confronted by figures
( numbers).Can it be possible that i will be just simply teaching and be spared from computing grades?
Lucky enough that i am beginning to learn the ways of computer in automatically computing the grades by simply clicking the formula button.But i still need the assistance of my dearest wife to do the same after the midterm grade was made.
The semester came and its now into its conclusion.I do hope that somehow i was able to gave them proper insights or awaken their curiosity to the subjects that we diligently discussed.

Rushing for Nothing...
It was 8:15 am as i was boarding the public conveyance going to school and there were many passengers as well trying to squeeze their small frames inside the sardine can looking public transport.
The other passengers who happened to be on their way to a school related fair in MOA were high school students all hyped out with the idea of bumming around the mall sans family to restrict or check their behaviour.They were all seems to be really enjoying the time and loudly conversing with no cares whatsoever with the other passengers who are all adults hurrying to their work places.
Memories of my student care- free days flashed like it seemed only a week ago.It was a very great day indeed to start the day with.
As i alighted the jeep and entering the main gate i noticed that there were no busy buzz , clacking sound of shoes nor loud voices of students in the sides and near and far to me which is a normal occurence day to day as you pass by the main entrace of the school.
I punched in my time card and proceeded upstairs in the faculty room and noticed that almost all of the Professors where there in their tables.Then my supervisor called me and said that i have to pass the final examination copy by monday and casually informed me that there are no classes today.
Should i rejoice and sing praises for the music like announcement!
All for naught ... I prepared my lectures for the day last night with gusto and dedication and here i am doing nothing for now.

Making the most out of the moment!
Summer classes just winded up without any glitches , thanks to the very useful net that i relied on for my new materials for my subject Asian Civilizations.
Next target is my new classes for the first semester which hopefuly will not be time jammed with my other teaching schedules.
I wish i could squeezed all the subjects in one particular set of days so as i can still accept some sidelines along the way.Its very difficult to accept all the work assignments given the distance between the schools. Ah! the travails of a struggling "Guru".

A long walk for the internet cafe
Indeed our life nowadays are intertwined with the very conspicous and mushrooming hub called internet cafe.Everywhere the signage or adboard of an internet cafe cant be missed.Hence it is only assuring that we can simply carry along out very portable data file called USB and presto we can access all our files by simply having a seat in a net cafe.
But whatabout if what we usually expect as a very accesible net cafe is not around the corner or probably located about a quarter of miles from where we are and the urgency of producing vital files is required.
The necessity of walking is a must given the flow of traffic as well as it would be more viable for me to survey for the best net service available in the area.
Thats what i experienced this morning as i went to apply for a teaching job somewhere in the south.The midmorning sun was radiantly showing its best and manifesting his power over me.The sweltering heat plus the idea of reaching in time for the appointment made me more hurried and harrassed.
Finally after sweating 120 cc the oasis was at sight! The internet cafe, the answer to all my worries at the moment was there.

March "Summer Heat is on again"
Yes! summer time once again and backto Manila the city of man.The sweltering heat of daytime really makes one sweat as if we are in the middle of the dessert somewhere in Dubai.
A feeling of dejavu strucks me at the moment as i traversed the lenght of Pasay Road going to my teaching schedule at CD Career Centere.
The advent of March signals the long awaited and cherished time of planning and going to some interesting places outside of ManilaThose days back when i was a college student really was a high back then as summer time comes.
Carefree as the wind sanz minding the costs of travel as well as security and safety my cronies and i packed our stuffs and proceeds to our destination with high spirits anticipating another adventure.
