My Private School Teaching Experience

After i decided to shift into the academe, it's always been in my Sintang Paaralan. Simply because i want to give back what i reap from the university that trained me in so many ways. So i just feel the need to have my pay back. But of course, i'm not closing my doors for any possibilities. And so, a friend of mine referred me to this private and exclusive school for girls located in Makati.

I don't know what i'm thinking during my interview and during my teaching demo... until i finally received the good news: i'm in! *ginalingan

Excitement is more of the feeling i felt before the semester begun. Then when it started, more on nervousness, anxiety, and stress. Don't get me wrong, I didn't regret teaching here. The expectation's just a little different that's why. Plus i must make my own syllabus, prepare my lecture (using multiple books - well the school's very generous in lending them), and  adjust my teaching style.

To clear things up, my students are not conyo, i don't feel that they're brats as well. Maybe, they just have that look of scrutinizing you and testing you if you know what you're talking about. They're also typical millennials - having short (as in very short) attention span, easily distracted and participates mostly in activities (rather than class discussions and recitations). Nevertheless, they're fine. 😃

So, why am i blogging this. I'm not sure too... Maybe i'm thinking of not pursuing teaching here next semester? Devote my time solely at my sintang paaralan? Go back to the industry? Put up my own business?

So far, i'm enjoying what i'm doing -Teaching. It gives me a different kind of fulfillment.

I just hoped that i somehow influenced my students in a positive way and learned something from me.

Happy Teacher's Day to me!

But most importantly, happy Teachers' day to the parents and teachers around the world, the universe rather. 😍

Review: Miaow Miaow Snack

Me and my mom arrived at the mall 30 minutes early, so we decided to roam at the grocery store to kill the remaining time (we plan to attend the 7pm service).  I also plan to buy prize for my students, and while doing so, i saw a new cracker in the shelf. It says "cutlefish flavoured crackers". I became curious and wonder how it tastes like so i bought it. I had second thouths though, because the product's new and i believe it is not locally made, so i thought it would be expensive.

Actually, it is somewhat expensive. It costs Php35+, 60 g. Yeah, it kind's is expensive for me. 😊

Above is the actual aesthetic of the product. Upon opening, the content is only half of the packaging (feel the disappointment there).

Moment of truth, how does it tastes? It's crunchy. Not salty, actually it has a sweet-blend taste. I taste a hint of fish (also smells like). Overall, it's okey.

That's it, it is just okey. If you ask me if it is worth my Php35+? I don't think so. I'd rather buy the local crackers.
