...and you call yourself a teacher?

D2 is always busy. She is in school all day teaching and nurturing. She is glued to her computer at night checking test papers, doing her lesson plan or highly visual handouts and reviewers for her students. She constantly do research work to enhance her lessons and make them interesting for her students. She even has custom presentation folders for keeping her printed files. She has so much dedication to her work that her students and their parents love her.

I cannot understand why there are lazy teachers. I cannot understand why some teachers just go through the motion of "teaching". I do not understand why a teacher would define natural light to her grade 2 students as "the product of chemical and nuclear reactions that creates great energy" when she could have just said that natural light comes from the sun. It is funny how a grade 2 student has to "memorize" the meaning of light refraction, reflection, absorption, translucent, prism et al when he still needs to know that light travels faster than sound.

Some teachers just don't deserve to be called "teachers".

Refreshing Sleep

A restful night is a must if you want to wake up refreshed and raring to be up and about to meet the challenges of the day. However, a lumpy mattress is not an option. My mattress is not lumpy at all but it sags! I noticed that I wake up feeling a little bit tired and I wondered why until I read an article about the benefits of an orthopedic mattress. Wow! I really need one. Maybe I'd start with an orthopedic pillow first. I saw some on sale at one of the local department stores. I wonder how much they cost? Hmm... I better check it out. The sooner I have one, the sooner I'd have a really refreshing sleep.

Change Lifestyle

When an acquaintance approaches me and says she easy personal loan, does that mean I have to help her secure the loan? D4 works in that capacity and some people think that I can do something for them regarding loans. Well, I cannot. I have nothing to do with my daughter's work! It's so sad that there are now so many who get loan left and right just to maintain their lifestyle. I think it's better to "adjust" one's lifestyle than be in debt just to keep up with the Joneses. Now, if the loan is for something really important, then I guess it is alright to take up a loan. Just make sure the interest will not put you more in debt.

Thematic!

I need to get my creative juice flowing. A niece is getting married and I have been tasked to host the bridal shower. Now, what would be the shower's theme? Of course it needs to have a theme! Every single party should have a theme as planning around it is easier. Hmm... I wonder. The girls said the theme should focus around the bedroom. Sexy! My older cousins suggested a "kitchen" theme. Domestic! Oh, well I guess I just have to settle for something that will personally benefit the bride-to-be. Bedroom shower it is! The girls will do the games. I will do the food. Now, who will do the bridal shower invitations? Guess again.

Opiate Detox!

I hate to read newspapers and watch News telecasts. They are so depressing! The other day, a commuter bus exploded en route and 10 passengers died. The explosion was allegedly caused by a home-made bomb. Who the culprit was is anyone's guess. The sad part was that people died. The really infuriating part was that by-standers who helped did not really help as they looted the bomb victims! Seriously, these "bad" Samaritans should undergo go opiate detox! Surely they were "high" as it is unthinkable that people in their right minds would loot injured people. No they were not "high"? Well, then the "Proud to be Filipino" motto should be re-worded.
