"Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle", certainly indeed my friend, allow yourself to grow strong by making effort in solving your problem instead of running away from , you will appreciate life more if you succeed dealing with your struggles. Finally the day has come that put an end of this chapter, we have successfully accomplished and passed all the requirements to Dr. Roperos for our subject MAED 106. I sincerely admit that i may have struggle a lot on this subject but I honestly learned a lot from it. I  not only learned what sir Roperos thought us but i also learned something from him something he didnt thought it to us but was observable from his behavior, his composure. If i was in his position, teaching students who always ask repetitive questions and gave them repetitive answers,i do not know how far i can go but for sir, he has the patience, calmness and determination to deal those kind of student. You can still see him smiles...

What we did today was just a continuation of our previous meeting, due to repetitive steps and instruction and since I have a personal computer at home, WiFI and already familiarized the procedure in using the adobe photoshop and indesign I have decided to leave my own task and focus on helping those who are struggling to their work. Those who have not fully absorb the information yet, was the one I have given my assistance Happy to help to those In need, hearing thanks from my classmates makes my heart big. To clarify ,I did such gesture not to boast myself but because I know it’s the right thing to do. However, even if im being helpful and cheerful to my classmates, I cannot deny the fact that I too is struggling and stressed out due to the multiple task that needs to be complied. I do not know what is the first step I should take in accomplishing those. As if a huge amount of blocks has been drop in my shoulder for me to carry. It has been a while since I ex...

After that very long nap we had, we were given a sudden strike. Topics and activities that we were not accustomed to were thrown at as. We were like an athlete having muscle cramps due to lack of warm up. We were too relax having a thought that we might not face something we just experience. That’s the price of being too easy on the day when we were supposed to prepare something unexpected. On that day, we were thought by Dr. Roperos the basic mechanics on how to navigate adobe photoshop, the reason why he want us to know how to use it because it will be the application that we will use to make our year book, one of our requirements to pass the subject. For us people who are not used to use those kinds of application struggles a lot. Lucky for me, not to boast myself and ego, I am kind of literate when it comes to computer, I may not be so expose to such practices but I could say that I am fast learner. I easily managed to learn the things we need ...

You read it right, we just finished a session which will be paid off with long vacation. Our very own teacher will be having a trip to Macau, China with his coworkers for some work matter, whatever it is, it is not our concern, don’t be a chismoso and chismosa. His absence at class would only means a long vacation for us as well, but not that typical vacation which will be held at beaches and tourist spot, it is a vacation away from class for a while. It would be like temporary taking off one of responsibilities and a relief for some of my classmate who are already teaching in public or private. Before anything else, before we could taste that sweet long vacation, we did have class first. But I think I was kind of exaggerated about the “storm” but I just said it to emphasize how good the effect is after the cause. On our first day of class, our instructor gave us 3 assignment, one of it is to read the PowerPoint presentation files for we will be having a long quiz on th...

As one chapter of our journey ends, another one will be opened for us to fill it in. First day of our class in our subject ……. Kind of nervous and excited at first, it’s a usual feeling for every beginning. First things first is introduction, we introduce ourselves differently. We get to introduce the person in front of us, the person behind us will do the same. Good way to get to know more about the person besides us.    We had a good laugh. Second is the overview of our subjects, our instructor Dr. Roperos told us all the things we will be learning from him throughout the whole semester. It is going to be very exciting for us to learn more about this subject because we will be dealing more on computer matters, we will not only be taught with knowledge but also wisdom because we will be having a practical applications of what we learn about our subject to the computer. Very helpful for us teacher in our teaching career, it makes our work easier and to less...
