GWA Dramarama

-

Today, all the grades for my graduate school, AY 2017-2018 were all released. Officially, I am still at GWA of 1.5, way above the maintaining grades of 2.0 to qualify for the Comprehensive Exam next year and complete the MA Degree in Language and Literacy Education.

I was having slight fever today maybe because of getting wet in the rain yesterday, I wasn’t really feeling well the whole day and upon seeing my grade in LLE 207, I felt my fever got a bit higher. I was expecting a bit higher of a grade but it wasn’t what I received. I was a bit disappointed with myself and more of my teacher just because I knew that I tried very hard to complete the course requirements and had gone a bit above expectations by being able to cite current journals and studies in my final paper.

Then, I took a deep breath and got myself thinking. When I request transfer to this course, all I wanted to do was just pass all the course requirements and graduate. Why am I being such a grade conscious high schooler now? I actually got the grade I needed, and still have a good buffer of grades should I have a hard time with the incoming subjects as well. I needed to remind myself that these are just numbers and I have no academic scholarship grant as if I was still in the university.

I am just happy I am half-way done and I have completed one school year with all the recommended subjects completed and with good grades. Still, eyes on the goal, but let not the goal be the definition. I honestly did learn a lot and still learning a lot from all the discussions that we had—as a SL learner myself, as an SL teacher and a human being speaking multiple languages.

One more day at work, and hopefully, I can get some rest over the weekend. With the upcoming JLPT, I need to keep reviewing and taking practice test. I can’t afford to waste any time.

One of these days, I promise to write my journal entries in Japanese and in English. I will try.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
