like mother, like daughter

My second daughter writes for the school paper like my eldest daughter. Just want to immortalize her work. This is her article!

“St. Therese teachers DO NOT know how to TEACH!”


That’s right! You heard me, St. Therese teachers DO NOT know how to teach!!! They absolutely suck at teaching!


Hey you didn’t let me finish. But I won’t take anything back! Wait, before you expel me, let me explain what I meant… they don’t know how to teach like most school teachers do, what they are, are teachers who” impart” that any student will be lucky to study along and learn with!


Well maybe some of you readers don’t know what the word “impart” means. Well there’s a HUGE difference in a teacher who “teaches” and a teacher who “imparts”, first lets explain teaching! Teaching is a job where you talk about lesson, make students do activities and tell them the rights and wrongs whenever in school. You may think that’s exactly what the teachers or properly say” imparters” of st. Therese do, right! Well I just gotta say that:

You’re dead wrong!

Let’s explain imparting shall we! Teacher WHO impart talk about the lessons AND make sure the student understand! Make students do activities AND have fun at the same time! Tell them the rights and wrongs whenever in school AND guide them for the future and outside the home’s and school’s sacred haven! You see what I mean? They actually enjoy what they are doing and treat their students like their own children. They have time for each and every one of us! They make sure that you’ll grow up to be the best you CAN be! So it’s like this, a teacher who teaches treats you as a student. A teacher who imparts treats you as their child!





If you’re reading this, you are most likely to be a theresian student! So value those said IMPARTERS! Because in this world of selfishness… a real teacher who imparts is hard to get by these days… so in conclusion there St. Therese teachers DO NOT know how to teach …..

“Because St. Therese teachers are so great, they only know how to impart …”

different type of dance

I’m doing my “finish payment dance”! Yey! Just today, my credit card bill came and I found out I singly finish paying one of my credit card debt. Me and my hubby got 5 cards, I am responsible to take care of 3 cards, since I am the one with a business. So my debt is P100,000 lighter now. Wooohooo! Feels really incredible. If everything goes really well, I’ll be able to pay everything before May, and then I could pay my siblings by June. That means by July, I’ll be able to hold on to my earnings and give my youngest daughter that dream birthday bash she had been asking for a year now. Darn it, it’s hard to type while dancing. Hahahaha!

The only let down is, my eldest daughter’s debut is coming up, I promised her two years ago I would give her a bash, now I don’t know how to keep that promise, it’s like a month away. Bummer! If only I could sell my fat tissues, I’ll be rich. Time to use my head, how to produce in a month time enough cash for her party.

But for now, I’ gonna finish my dance….woot…woot!

Maslow forgot this.

They say love makes the world go round, but money comes close. In this day and age, it’s already a necessity. Gone are the customs where in you ask a neighbor for a free veggie or fruit from their backyard, or even the concept of a veggie/fruit garden, thanks to today’s environment, owning a garden is actually hard. Nowadays, you cannot pay for anything with chickens or patola. It’s always CASH or CARD.

So it is a necessity to teach our kids how to get money. I’ve tried to teach them the best I know how, so far they are responding well. Composing a check list with them was really fun. It turned out to be a compromise rather than a rule.

1. Learn to understand how to management money. Spending and earning is not the only thing to think about when it comes to money management.
2. Learn the pitfalls of credit cards, don’t get more than two.
3. Practice simple business when you're eight years old until you finish high school.
4. If you want something, work for it, don’t ask for a gift, unless you’re below eight years old or it’s your birthday or Christmas.
5. Study well, get good grades, not necessarily very high grades unless you really want to, and get a high paying job.
6. Set up your own business, when it fails, try again and again.
7. Once you succeed in business, build another successful one, and another, and another….
8. Invest in properties, lots of it, especially if you are planning a big family, that way your kids don’t have to rent out all their life.
9. Retire early then do more business.
10. Always have medical/health money set aside.
11. Stay together, no matter what happens in the future, you are to stay together and help one another, unless you want me in your face all the time, and I don’t care who started it, everyone is going to face the wall, TOGETHER. This rule doesn’t die with me, because like I’ve said, I’ll haunt you and you’ll never hear the end of it.

We also concluded the list is not finish yet, for one it was fun to make and I feel this list would evolve soon. Plus they can never deny we made this list coz I put this here, until internet is gone, this list is here to stay.
