I planned to focus on my review for the board examination last week but things seemed to be not favoring me. The workloads at the office were so huge and I didn't have the chance to read during breaks. Myriad media issues about our office, DepEd-IMCS, were published (some were true but most were not -> blatantly exaggerated or malicious).
I think DepEd is a place where most people are stoned and crucified, so all staff must be careful and responsible on what they are doing.
Ok. Back to my review... I used the same technique of reading while sitting inside the bus but because it was a long ride going to my house I tend to sleep and when I wake up it's already near my residence. I need to change my style to succeed.

The Making of a Teacher
I will use this blog to share my experiences on my quest to be a professional teacher. I am not really prepared to take the LET this April but I have to as to compliance to the new rule set by PRC(?). I will update you every week about my struggle. I know it's not easy but it's not impossible.
First thing first, I couldn't take a leave of absence to attend a special review since we are having too much workloads (especially now that the media is watching over our organization.) Second, I am not financially stable this time (too bad).
My schedule goes this way:
1) Early in the morning I read my reviewer inside the bus (this would be about 1 1/2 hour);
2) Go to work at full 8 hours but had to stay longer if asked by my superior;
3) Another 1 1/2 hour reading inside the bus in going home (I routinely pick place with nice lighting)
4) As I arrive, I open my PC to answer some e-mails and make research on some topics.
5) When I'm tired reading I rest by playing chess against international opponents online then go back to reading.
6) Sleeps at 1:00 a.m.
I hope I can make it... please pray for me.

Corporate Lessons
Corporate lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly
wraps herself in
a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the
door, there stands
Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you
$800 to drop that towel"
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her
towel and stands naked
in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her
$800 dollars and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back
upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,
"Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband
says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?"
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to
credit and risk with your
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to
prevent avoidable
exposure.
Corporate Lesson 2:
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and
crossed her legs, forcing
her gown to reveal stretch of leg. The priest
nearly had an accident. After
controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up
her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he
let his hand slide up
her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father,
remember Psalm 129?"
The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is
weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way.
On his arrival at the
church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It
said, "Go forth and
seek, further up, you will find glory."
Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might
miss a great opportunity.
Corporate Lesson 3:
A Sales Rep, an Administration Clerk, and the
Manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and
a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one
wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the Admin. Clerk.
"I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat,
without a care in the world."
Poof! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the Sales Rep. "I want to
be in Hawaii, relaxing on the
beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply
of Pina Coladas and the
love of my life."
Poof! He's gone.
"OK, you're up next," the Genie says to the Manager.
The Manager says, "I want those two back in the
office after lunch."
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
Corporate Lesson 4:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A rabbit asked him,
"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day
long?".
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit
sat on the ground
below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the
rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Corporate Lesson 5:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love
to be able to get to
the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I
haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?"
replied the bull. "They're
packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that
it gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly
perched at the top of the tree.
Soon a farmer, who spotted him, shot the turkey out
of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshìt might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
