Health Over Wealth

For the past few days, i have battled over one of my very unexpected and my most fearsome among medical procedures. Knowing what i will undergo and pre op procedures like needles and syringes piercing through the nerves for tests and as preparatories shoot up my blood pressure. Thanks God and to the team of doctors and nurses who expertly did their best to make it successful. 

Post op is another difficult challenge. Pain is inevitable but at times unbearable. Forced urination of blood clots and blood for the first time made me writhe and perspire coldly. Liters of water gushing out from the fresh wound that even several diapers can not hold made me pale and drained of nervousness. But thanks Lord and to the prayers of people which i knew a Listening God has heard and granted. Thanks to my family members for being always there. They knew i am single and so in this kind of trying times, i needed their hands. To my one only sister, you are the best nurse in the world. 

Truly i say, i now value one of the most simple and neglected old saying which says, "Health is Wealth". Prioritize health over money. You can earn much money but you can never buy health. 

Prioritize health over work. You may have highest positions at work or get the highest plaques of the land but when health dwindles away, these will not save you from retiring.

Prioritize more on family and loved ones over gaining friends. Family and loved ones will always be there for you propping you up no matter what. Even if you have multitudes of friends, barely half of them cares.

I am moving forward to recovery. I will be bouncing back stronger. I believe. And so i am half way there...

On School Partnership and Linkages

A partnership is an arrangement where parties, known as partners, agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests. The partners in a partnership may be individuals, businesses, interest-based organizations, schools, governments or combinations.             With the many programs of the schools, the meager Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) of every school is not enough to fund the many flagship programs of the department. This is where the schools can make initiative to reach out to external partners through partnership and linkages.             In order to cater the needs of the schools the Department of Education (DepED) promulgated the revised implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for Republic Act 8525, or the Adopt-a-School Act of 1998, on 18 January 2013. DepED Order 2 series of 2013 is the latest revision to Department Order No. 80 s. 1998 – the fi...

Embracing All Learners Through Inclusive Education

In a class, the learners have different socio-economic status, cultural backgrounds, different abilities, capacities and intelligences. Some are endowed with abilities and others are born with disabilities. This is where inclusive education comes in. It is considering the manners our schools, programs and lessons are designed so that all learners can participate and learn. Inclusive education may also mean looking into and finding different strategies of teaching so that every school actively involves all learners.             According to Alquraini & Gut, the school and classroom operate on the premise that students with disabilities are as fundamentally competent as students without disabilities. Therefore, all students can be full participants in their classrooms and in the local school community. Much of the movement is related to legislation that students receive their education in the least restrictive environment (LRE)....

Overcoming the Demands and Challenges as a Member of the LGBTQIA+ Community

                    Being a member of the LGBTQIA+ is not easy compared to being male and female. I for one, representing one of the letters in the LGBTQIA+ community have experienced discrimination and stereotyping many times and in many ways.             Having a different gender preference, orientation and identity, I was at times called sissy and weakling by my classmates in the elementary grade. Bullying was so rampant in those days that there were times I thought of not going to school anymore. This was worsened because in my primary grades, I was then living with the family of my uncle so I have no parents to confide what I had been going through. My parents are both farmers so they have to work from a far province to provide our basic needs. What I was so thankful is I was an achiever and performing well in school which somehow covered up the gender-related inflic...
