My kids, who are enrolled in an alternative school, had recently studied about the miracle plant: Malunggay. Their lesson's theme revolved around Malunggay. Thus these are some of the activities they did to discover about the miracle plant:

1.Researched about the nutritional content of Malunggay and did a Science report about it
2. Read about an article published in the Manila Bulletin Sunday Magazine about Malunggay plant
3. Dried some Malunngay leaves for three days then they cooked Malunggay flavored Puto (rice cake).
4. Went around the school letting people taste their Malunggay Puto then interviewed the respondents about the product.
5. Had their Math about percentage using the Malunggay Puto recipe measurements.
5. Had Focus Group Discussions about the entire experience!

Fun. Fun time to learn, right?

As a teacher i have met and interacted with so many students in my entire career. All colors, sizes and backgrounds - i have mingled and taught.


This morning as i was teaching my preschool class, our new Korean student came by my classroom. She was calling and calling me. Since she's still learning the command of the English language i couldn't understand her words from afar, thus i approached (nearer to) her. She lives with her aunt and uncle, her only immediate family in our country.


Since she has special needs (with speech difficulty and poor eyesight ), i told her carefully and slowly that she should get back to her classroom because recess time was over. I turned my back and left. She called me again, defective speech and all. She said: "Teacher, please hug. Give (sic) hug." With hesitations, i gave her my warm motherly hug. Then i left.

Then what surprised me was this: "Thank you, Teacher. Better. I (sic) better!" she said with the most charming smile I received which surely made my day... Isn't that heartwarming?

No language or race can barricade human affection, indeed.

After long months of waiting and practice of patience, my husband was able to launch and officially operate his I.T. business. Wheew! The long wait is over. My patience was really put into its finest test when he was still conceptualizing the I.T. business.


It took six long months of financial sacrifices and adjustments from the family, it is here!
I pray and hope that everything will operate smoothly. Again, I am forever thankful that his and the team's effort has reached the fruits.
Now I call them real techno-preneur.
