Where Do We Get Strength From?

      Long before the most awaited sem-break, I have anticipated it like a grand vacation because I thought to myself..."We (teachers) had a rough month we should be treated with some pampering. Instead, We were asked to make a summative test from first to fourth grading. Then, we were made to grace the brgy elections 2010. Only to find out that on that very same week, tuesday is the sole witness that we never really enjoyed the 1-day rest because we need to attend to our domestic chores left out during the weekend. And surprise! surprise! from Wednesday 'til Friday we were all so sleepy and tired but forced ourselves to enjoy of what was left of the seminar on How to construct HOTS questions using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Now, this is the most interesting part. We were asked to make an output off course...what is there left to do after a seminar than creating an output (a proof that we all worked and labored hard. lol! ) as if it weren't enough...the deadline was set on Friday...yeah right! The week that I dreamt of having a haircut, a nail trimming and polishing, a day for relaxing and maybe a foot spa or massage would make me feel like a lotto sole winner of the jackpot!!! But to my dismay, nothing of those happened. I still have a long hair needing some help, a chipped toe, a backache which I earned during the election and yes!...a splitting headache and feet sore from standing in a long queue at the city hall waiting for the very delayed arrival of the ballots! Whew! I don't exactly know where my strength comes from but the Lord Jesus 'cause After that "fun-filled" day when the votes were being counted, a heavy downpour with thunderstorms ensued... I'll ask you a question, HOW WOULD YOU IF AFTER YOUR FEET WERE FEELING SORE, HOT AND TIRED WILL ACTUALLY WALK ON A FLOODED SCHOOL GROUND HALFWAY YOUR KNEES?  (inhale and exhales heavily)

          It did not end there, scouting, submission of the Second Periodical Test Questions, Test administration, checking after, around 500 hundred of formal theme papers to be checked, The 2C2IA Lesson Plan for the Third Grading,

Below are pictures during the seminar. See how much we loved being tortured! Lolz!!!
