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 have to go through to get what they want. 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 aboutpaintings? I know I haven't blogged about my newest venture in life, no it'snot about me trying to be a painter(I wish I have that talent though) It isabout me being a college teacher, yes I am, and the subject I am teaching isHumanities. I hope you’ve read about my blog a month ago about my problem if Ishould accept the teaching job offer. So, I guess the answer is obvious now andthank God I made the right decision. At this moment I am actually making my PowerPointpresentation 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’mreally really short of time, I still can’t help but take a little of what’s left to blogabout these wonderful paintings I am about to show you.

Have fun! :)
