22 Facts About Me (So Narcissistic)!

Since it's my birthday week this week, maybe it is time for me to share some part of me to you, my dear readers! I will be sharing some 22 facts about me. Prepare to be bored? Amazed? I do not know. You decide. This is the listicle that you did not ask. Lol.

1. I was born prematurely. My Mom was supposed to have her labor in May 1996, but I came early. I was born on March 28, 1996, at precisely 3:15 AM.

2. About the previous fact, I was also incubated for weeks because I was bitten by a rat because I looked like raw meat when I was young. I was also so little. I was like an 8 oz Coca-cola bottle.

3. My name (Jitty) was derived from a news anchor from a random country. That was my Mom said. I did not even bother to double-check. Lol.

4. I had kindergarten twice. In the first take of kindergarten (which took place in the city), I was 3rd place in class. I was able to take Grade 1 subjects for some few months. When my Mom decided to transfer our home again, I retook kindergarten classes in the city. It is because my Mom wanted to me be on a special Science program in the elementary school.

5. I was once considered myself as a math wizard. Charot!

6. I really wanted to become like a computer engineer before, like my biological father. But things happened.

7. I took mass communication because I want to avenge myself from the radio broadcasting judge that I had in high school.

8. I took Diploma in Professional Education because I am pabida person.

9. I never expected that I will become a teacher. Right after my partner and I finished our thesis, I looked for some marketing work, but to no avail. Then teaching work came by, so I grabbed the opportunity!

10. I did not know that UP Cebu exists until 4th-year high school. That was when I submitted my application for UPCAT.

11. Some people consider me annoying. It's true. But one incident changed me. I am not ready to share it.

12. One of my dreams is to become a school paper adviser. It came true when I handled CTU - Barili's student publication.

13. I love Big Bang Theory!

14. My Globe number is 12 years old! I bought it on November 1, 2006. :)

15. I do not really have a lot of friends. But I am okay with it.

16. Some people think that I am extrovert. I consider myself an ambivert. I also have some low points in my life.

17. I had two girlfriends in my life. It is awkward sometimes when my ex and I meet in the school's hallway.

18. I have a boyfriend of 4 years. I love him so much.

19. I was a consistent honor student since kindergarten. Humblebrag!

20. I am also a very competitive person.

21. I really wanted that Best in Religion award in elementary.

22. I hope that this year will be better!

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 ...
