My Lee's TVC

I finally found my tutorial student's paint tv commercial which he did some years ago... I met him last year, he was already in first grade, and have matured a bit but still the same cute, funny kid that appeared on the TVC some years back. Glad I'm able to lift this video of the said TVC from a
facebook profile..

To Pap!

Here's a Father's Day poem I lifted from the works of Joanna Fuchs' . I first read it on my student's father's day card which they did in school as a Fathers Day activity and so captured was I with the words that I decided to post it here to let the world know how much I love my father - the one we most fondly call PAP!

I'D PICK YOU

Dad, if all the fathers

Had lined up one by one,

And God told me to pick,

I'd still choose to be your son.

I'm proud to have a father

Who listens and understands,

Who teaches me and sets fair rules

Without unfair demands

Dad you are my hero,

My role model in all I do.

So dad, if I could pick again,

You know I'd still pick you!

Independence Day

June 12 is the country's Independence Day but it's even more special for me because it's my birthday. 2009 and 2010 have been quite a wonderful year for me and for that I am truly greatful. I am blessed to have a very busy tutorial schedule something that I haven't experienced in a while, doubly happy that my student again made it to the Outstanding Students List and so I felt I should at least celebrate....and celebrate I did (with my sis' and our friend Boy who followed at the karaoke night) even if I had work in the morning of my birthday..

Met up with my sisters and had a sumptuous lunch of Barbecue Platter...

and I had this cute birthday cake called Strawberry Fields...
then we head off for some karaoke fun....

Happy Mothers Day!

On sunday, we will celebrate Mother's Day. I won't write stuff about my Mom anymore as I have done it already before. I would instead share this video and the lyrics of which, truly hit me..So Mom, Happy Mother's Day.. and to all the moms happy mother's day! this one is for you!


It's hard to remember
A summer or winter
When she hasn't been there for me

A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean

I've taken for granted
seeds that she planted
She's always behind every thing

A teacher a seeker
A both arms outreacher
My mother
That's who I mean

Wish I could slow down
The hands of time
keep things the way they are
If she said so
I would give her the world
If I could... I would

My love and my laughter
From here ever after
Is all that she says that she needs

A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean
My mother
That's who I mean... that's who I mean

CAPTURED: Churches that Captured Me

On Maundy Thursday, I was able to complete Visita Iglesia and three of the seven churches I went to were the churches that strike me the most. Location was not an issue..I just had to get there...and all these churches I was able to capture.

This imposing church right across the new NAIA Terminal 3 called Shrine of St. Therese is simply breathtaking.

St. Alphonsus Mary De Liguori Church in Magallanes has really nice structural designs, I can't help but take pictures..Nice for intimate weddings...

Our Lady of Victories Church is another sight to behold. For someone who loves big, long aisle churches, this has got to be an exception to the rule. I instantly fell in love with this church the moment I reached it's location. It looked like Don Bosco's Chapel on the Hill in Batangas only this one is in the city. As I wrote on my other site, this church captivated me. This is a traditional catholic church and all masses are in Latin..

Back to Writing..

The one's who are following me on twitter already know why I am on semi-hiatus on blogging since the second week of march..It was my tutorial student's trimestral exams so I have been too busy doing reviewers for them..Both of them are honor students so the pressure's on me..I had to make sure they maintain their grades..Their grades are yet to be given but I know they got good grades...hehehe

So now that they are already on vacation, I got more time to blog..I'll post something about my tutees later...

"Tikes" got Talent

My tutorial kids were quite busy this January practicing performances for their family day...Two of them were her n this video and I couldn't be more proud. Their group won first place...


Congratulations girls!!!
