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...

It's New Year, My Students, So What Now?

(Personal rant coming your way. If you don't want to read some "drama," feel free not to read this article.) I have been a student all my life. In fact, right after I finished my degree in Mass Communication, I did not hesitate to study again to become a professional teacher. I started to take some education units in a community college located in our vicinity. As an aspiring educator, I do not want to disappoint my students. This is the reason why I really wanted to learn how to effectively and efficiently teach. Thank goodness, after a few months of teaching, some of my students say that they learned something in my classes. As we start the new year, we will also be launching a new semester. Even though our second semester officially began last November, the students were still not in the mood for studying. As a teacher, I really expanded my patience by understanding their sentiments, because as cliche as it may sound, I was also a student before and I also...

Let's Have Some FUNds: Chronicles of A Non-Saver

I have never been a fan of saving. All throughout my life, my Mom is always there for me to provide all my needs. In fact, most of the people that I know consider me as a compulsive buyer. I just want to have everything that I want in an instant. The sad reality is that is not how the world works. Though I had a lot of part-time gigs and sidelines prior to my graduation, my finances are more or less sustained by my parents. With just one phone call, they could always send me some money through money courier services. I never had any financial before. But when graduation happened, everything started to change. The first company that I some with was a state university located a few meters from my home in the province. It offered some measly pay that I believe is not enough for my then workload. Because I was a fresh graduate, I had no choice but to understand the situation. I accepted my fate wholeheartedly and continued my work as a teacher. It may not have paid me that much, but...
