Inter-class Competition

Last March 9, we had an inter-class competition at school, which was basically my idea. It is a competition where the students of all humanities classes will be given an opportunity showcase their talents and abilities on their chosen art performance. There were a group of students who performed "ala" Victoria Secret fashion show, some executed a dance musical, and the others portrayed a drama.

I told my students that the fifty percent grades of their final exam will be based on the judges' score on their performance, so imagine how much effort and arguments they went through. Arguments, because they all have conflicting ideas and not to mention that they're also time pressured.

look at those vacant seats. I took this photo at the near end of the program and apparently as expected, A lot of students sneaked out.

After the program, though my students didn't win, I'm still happy and so are they.


giving our judges a free snacks and drinks.
so, that's it and thank God, it was successful and fun.

till next time! :)

I Heart Paintings


Hello. Wonder why sudden interest about paintings? I know I haven't blogged about my newest venture in life, no it's not about me trying to be a painter(I wish I have that talent though) It is about me being a college teacher, yes I am, and the subject I am teaching is Humanities. I hope you’ve read about my blog a month ago about my problem if I should accept the teaching job offer. So, I guess the answer is obvious now and thank God I made the right decision. At this moment I am actually making my PowerPoint presentation for my next lecture, which is actually tomorrow, (I hope none of my students will read this.haha!) and the topic is about painting. Despite the fact that I’m really really short of time, I still can’t help but take a little of what’s left to blog about these wonderful paintings I am about to show you.

Have fun! :)
