Change for Good I am happy for you

The Bottom Line

You're getting closer to a very special person in your life. Ask them that question.

In Detail

You're getting closer to a very special person in your life, and it's only natural that you might be feeling a growing sense of responsibility towards them. But make sure you draw the line at being responsible for their happiness. All you can do is support them and respect their choices. If they are looking for answers, you have to make it clear that you don't have them. Help them learn that the solutions they seek lie within them, not in another person

I will be supporting you whatever you do and whenever you need me I will just be at your back… I am very much pleased the moment you told me that your changing for the better. I am happy you realized the importance of life. I know you will pass thru trials and hardship. but as I Told you no pain no gain. I am hurt seeing you hurt but I just think it is for you and for the better…. Life is so short but we can make it longer in taking extra good care of ourselves… and for you KEVIN cheers I hope you can make it.

Guilty or not

Made an awkward mistake? You aren't wrong, you're just not right all of the time.

In Detail

Let go of some power today -- you do not have to be the one in charge in order to shape the way things evolve. Focusing on who is sitting behind the steering wheel is a huge waste of your time. What you should be focusing on is where the entire vehicle is headed! Give another person the platform to push their agenda, and you will quickly see that they were thinking about things in a more effective way. You aren't wrong. You're just learning that you're not right all of the time….

to explain this I will start on what happened this morning…

So the MYP7 do there final assessment in Humanities which is Tai Chi as for the teachers comments and students feedbacks they have done a great job except for the speech part wherein Zain have the shock of his life I don't even understand what he trying to say to the assembly.

But where is the documentation??? that is a big question and its due last weekend and knowing my MYP7 for sure they have a reason but I realized their reasons are becoming EXCUSES for not submitting the projects and paper works on TIME. So I decided to give them a lesson I know its a crucial week for them Benchmarking test is this week and they need to catch up with other subjects final assessment. As for my reflection they are taking for granted my subject HUMANITIES worst I think they are taking me for granted. So I decided to make it individual final project to be submitted on Thursday. BUT MY HEART WAS PINCHED when I see his face and his reaction YES YOU and I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE my anger and bitterness was suddenly washed away by that reaction WHY I CANT PUNISH MY MYP7 or is it the reason they gave me is not an excuse at all.. YOUR GOOD you know how to make my conscience work. BUT when I gave the chance they started to be easy again. AM I doing the good job? do they deserve the chance that I gave? or its just these 13 students of mine is so special to me that even they make mistake and break their words I will always give them chance and forgive them as fast as I look into that EYES.

Earth Hour

Count me in MABUHAY ang PINOY MABUHAY ang PILIPINAS

My old time favorite

Giovanni “God is gracious”

Faith will keep you stand firmly in what you believed.

Happy are those who didn’t see (JESUS) but still believe for their faith saves them from eternal perish.

Last night I am terrified on what had happened not because I didn't explain well what I believe in my religion but I'm scared on what is happening to him.

This prediction of December 21, 2012 of the Mayan calendar makes him think negatively and have wild ideas and imaginations. I never seen him think that much and take this seriously I am worried it may have a negative effect on him and I am scared what this can cause.

But one thing is for sure NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS WORLD WILL END. and I quote from the holy scriptures the parables Jesus himself preached.

Matthew 24:36,42-44 THE DAY AND HOUR UNKNOWN

No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day the your lord will come. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known at what time at night the thief was coming he would have kept watch and would not have let his house broken into. So you also must be ready, because the son of man will come in an hour you do not expect him.

Matthew 25:13 THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

John 21 THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation nor will people say here it is or there it is because the kingdom of God is within you.

I will always pray for you….. let my faith my guiding shield and let my prayers as my sword.

Hernando Valisno Bernal

Today is the death anniversary of my father Hernando Valisno Bernal (policeman in profession). It has been 24 years when he pass away and it is 23 years and 10 months that I don’t experience having a father (for information my father died before I was born to this world).

I don’t know what should I feel when they asked or talked about my father. to tell you the truth I don’t know him nor  I don’t even meet him in person, never I have touched him, I don’t even know what love I have for him. one thing is for sure he give me life and I must be very thankful for it.

when I was small I remember every time I cried I always call his name “daddy daddy huhu” but no one ever comes I will just stop because I am tired crying. and that is the only thing that comfort me to call his name as daddy.

I can’t explain what is my relationship towards my father. never in my life I asked for a fatherly image (thanks to my mom coz I know she makes all effort for me to stand as father and mother). And never in my life that I have regrets that I don’t have a father. but sometimes I asked myself what if my father is alive? what should I became? but I think it will be just like a question that I never mind at all. maybe I will just ask him when we meet in heaven in the proper time.

I don’t know how should I feel towards this day. I cannot mourn nor feel sad because I don't have intense personal relationship with him. But I see and I know the pain my mother and sister felt during this day. They always says my father is a good person, great dad, good husband, honest police and a friendly person however for me that is a big question WHO is HERNANDO VALISNO BERNAL for me. yes I know he is my father but what he is to me that I cannot answer.

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

I will pray for all my students who needs enlightenment

To whom who to be considered the SPECIAL ONE (TANDAO) may you have a clear and stress free mind set to make a good decision. as I always advise never decide when you are not sure and your temper is at its peak. what ever happens I will be here for help.

JULZ don't give up you can do it focus, concentrate don’t just aim for C think positive you can do better than what you think of go for A’s

MYP7 we have learned a lot from different religions, belief, and philosophy. we know what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. the true test is on how are we going to apply in our daily lives what we have learned inside the classroom.

EMAD (EMI) I am saddened the moment you told me that Friday will be your last day in school surely I will miss you like my other students who left. ALL the best and may you have all the good in life which includes. Good health, good friends, good books, good manners and good luck.

HAN LIN i heard you are sick take rest and take good care of your self sometimes you over stress your life chill out ok

Beetle

Today was so much FUN in school… In Ampang we have the Character Education week. I with my favorite Y7 students do a wall painting in the dance room and some glass painting in the playschool. At first I didnt know what to do (coz I am not an art teacher I was just there to supervise make sure that they do work and not loiter around) So when Ms. Sobhitha asked me to assign 1 student 1 color paint I just assigned them and start working…. I take charge of color PINK paint (and I am so happy the way I paint the walls and its a pro work ok). then sadly needs to go to the other campus for another class ;( haizzzz.

On the other campus suddenly they have a film showing so no class too. The year 9 students did a well job in their assessment the film is I think educational even it is more on comedy side (I hope students realized it too).

2nd break is the most interesting one I have found this cute little beetle in the floor so I pick it up because some year 2 student stare at it and very scared so to change their perception I pick up the beetle and let it freely walk in my hand (just like when I was young and used to play with all kinds of insects). TAKUMI face at first was stunned but after a few seconds he wants to hold it too and at first very resistant but the moment he touched it its just like a little toy for him then other kids followed to touch it. Then I hand it over to HAN LIANG coz one of my colleagues called me for a talk. Then time flies fast needs to go back to Ampang to sign important documents

STOP… and let me tell you this

This morning I got the most shocking day…  I started my day with a very nice plan I know that MYP7 will practice Tai Chi on the 1st and 2nd period and so I think why not give them a free drink after the tiring work. (I seldom done that to my CIE Y7 to give them something) and I know that coca cola is not good for the health (I just hope the appreciation of it from my students). then here goes I bring down the coca cola when suddenly one of my student told me this (I don't know if she says it intentionally or jokingly but it had a big impact to me). “TEACHER DONT JUST GIVE YOUR FAVOURITE ONES BECUASE I KNOW YOU SHOW FAVOURITISM’’ and my world is suddenly flown by the wind…. I started to question myself do I show favoritism in MYP7? Do I have a favorite student in a class of 13? how did I show favoritism in class? my belief of being fair to them just suddenly washed away with that cold words.. I was stunned and started to reflect….. in the first place do they have any reason to tell me that? How do they consider that I show favoritism? all of them I give extra attention and make sure I give same level of care to them.. i will stop for a moment and think before I answer that questions in my mind for now I know MYP7 are bunch of 13 students with differences yet without any favoritism everyone is unique with their own strength and weakness

Cartoons back to hobby

Since I was small I love to watch Disneys cartoons movies coz they are fun to watch… but now that I am old I still love to watch it but this time around with big difference I now realized what values and morals you can learn from this cartoons. you can even get some inspirational quotes which you can apply in your daily lives.. from Friday night until this Sunday evening I had a movie marathon yes movie marathon of my favourites cartoon movies thanks youtube :P you give me lots of help and inspiration…. And after Sunday mass this afternoon I watched movie in KLCC of course another cartoon movie entitled “The tale of Despereaux” the movie teaches how an individual becomes brave, loyal, courageous and with dignity. and it teaches a very refined lesson how to forgive and as I quote the movie says…

“A single forgiveness makes a big difference”

now let me share to you my all time favourite lines that I value most in watching cartoons movie

Horton - “People are people no matter how small”

Pocahontas 2 – “My people needs me, I must talk to the king about peace and if its happened to be they wont listen and put me to death let me stand and start it.”

Mulan - “Never be assured a single grain might change everything”

Pocahontas 1 “You think you know everything….. but you really don’t know anything”

Mulan “Even the strong wind cannot bow a mountain”

what is the true meaning of FASTING

“Dispel all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy, casts out hatred bring us peace and humbles earthly pride”.

In the new testament Jesus brings to light the profound motive for fasting. True fasting as the divine master repeats elsewhere, is rather to do the will of the Heavenly father, who “sees in secret and reward you” (Mt. 6:18). “Man shall not live with bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Mt. 4:4). The fast is thus directed to eating the “true food” which is the father’s will.

Fasting is a soul of prayer, mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. So if you pray, fast, if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others, if you do not close your ears to others, you open God’s ear to yourself.
