The Start of Something Not Really That New


Maybe this year, I will be able to fulfill this promise. Maybe. Just maybe.

Some people say that I am a quitter, and yes, I cannot just argue because it is true. I have joined a lot of organizations way back in college, then I just leave when I want to. Various reasons arose in my mind when I quit. I was busy doing some paper works on a subject. I did not also feel that I belong to the organization. I could not keep up with the activities of the group to the point that it makes me feel terribly sick. I know it is just wrong to keep the people hanging, but what should I do? I was young, wild, and free. I did not understand the consequences of the things that I have done to my future.

Last year, I started a blog named Yanong Bisdak. Some people said that it is just a rip off to my boyfriend's blog Basta Bisaya. Maybe? As a writer, I am still finding my place in the writing scene. I even do not know what to write. In fact, I still do not know how to write well. I admit that I am not really an innate writer. I just developed my love of writing as the time went by.

Maybe, I am writing because I have nowhere to go to? To be honest, I just do not know the answer. I know that I am not a very good writer, but they say that if I keep on writing, it will really improve my craft. Also, I am teaching a writing class this year. It is just right for my students to see their teacher writing. I can be an inspiration to them as they do their writing assignments in our class. I could also learn from them and write our experiences on this blog.

This year, I will do my best to complete my unfinished task. I will make my younger self-proud by publishing content on this blog. Aside from the fact that I will not be paying P500 in the culminating activity, I believe that it will be just so satisfying to see your blog having a lot of content. I may be a neophyte blogger, but I know that I can do better this year.

I just also want to emphasize that the future contents of this blog shall not and will not reflect the views and opinions of the institutions that I belong. I am planning to write anything and everything under the sun. It may be my random rants and ideas about certain things, but you know, that is the point of a blog, isn't it? I am tired of being a lifestyle blogger (as if naman) last year. Maybe I am not just fit for being that kind of writer. I will write what I want. As cliche as it may sound, but I want to write to express, and not to impress. I have been teaching students this concept yet I am not practicing it myself, so let me correct my wrongdoings.

I just want to be as informal as possible. Please do not expect some formal writings on this blog. I will do my best to express here. Lol.

So yeah, please be a lamb and help me complete this 52-week challenge! Let's finish this challenge together! :)

Our Battle Against Fake News

As an educator, I always make it to a point to make my students see the realities of life. In fact, I always integrate current events to my lessons to make sure that my students are active in the societal discourse. This is the reason why I ever let them research information that could help in our discussion. About this, information has become a daily staple of the modern Filipino. This is what social networking sites offer to us. It gives us information to what is happening to our neighbors, their pets, their careers, and stuff that we do not bother to care. It has brought us closer as people. The world has become smaller, they say. Communication has also become easier. The internet has removed our borders. We can easily contact our distant relative through FB messenger. We can always call our client through Skype. We can even instantly send a funny GIF to our friend who lives miles away from us. Information can easily be acquired. And that starts a problem. I believe we...

The (Filipino) Teachers' Story

(The views and opinions expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the institution that I am connected with. The accounts presented in this article is based on my co-teachers' perspective.) Teaching is said to be the noblest profession, they say. All other jobs will not exist without the help of these unsung heroes. They work day and night just to make sure that their pupils (for elementary learners) and students (for secondary and tertiary learners) will be able to get some new information during their classes. Visual aids need to be made. Lesson plans need to be written. Books that need to be read. All these things just pile on the desk of a teacher every night, which lessens their time with their own families. Aside from the hectic teaching schedule, they also need to do a LOT (emphasis again on LOT) of other unrelated teaching activities. They need to follow their principal's directives. They need to clean their rooms so...

The Malnourishment of Radyo Kahimsug

(Note: The views and opinions expressed in this article are mine alone and it does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the company that I am connected with.) Despite the emergence of the new media today, we can never deny the importance of mainstream media in the molding our minds. The so-called trimedia, which consists of print, radio, and television, acts as a primary source of information for us long before Facebook had given birth to Newsfeed. On a personal note, I really wanted to become a radio personality. I always imagined myself before talking to a microphone and sharing my opinions to the public. In fact, I want to become an influencer through this medium. Despite the change of career, my love for this medium has not dwindled. I still listen to radio every morning just to get my daily dose of news bites to fuel my day-to-day activities. As a teacher, it helps me create sound judgment to issues that matter in our society. One of my most favorite ...
