Hello there!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back again to Stumble Tumble Tuesday...

The unhelpful heritage vanishes...

Dealing with a class that was dominated with men (with only ONE female) is indeed a very challenging task for me as a teacher. They are my freshmen Mechanical Engineering students. They are of different background with different attitudes. My six years of experience in teaching somehow lighten up the load. I have experienced dealing a student with tantrums, a student who just love to copy his classmate's output than making his own, a student who always get absent from my class and a student who wants to impressed you to the max! 

But one thing that I appreciate the most in dealing with such kinds of students is that I learned from them. 

I learned the value of patience...

I learned the art of listening...

I learned the importance of being considerate...

Above all, I learned to accept all their differences knowing that I, myself, is imperfect as well. (It just so happened that I was the teacher and they were the students.)

In their own little way, they knew how to brighten up my day when it seems too gloomy...

They even knew when to keep silent when it seems like I don't want to talk...

They also learn how to control themselves when they almost go beyond to what we have agreed... We agreed not to utter bad words in class and they were aware if they failed to keep such agreements... They remind each other...

They can make lots of excuses for being absent and I gave them the freedom to do so however, at the expense of their grades. I can determine their lies from the truth... Even that, they were already aware.

I was just completely amazed how they were able to perform their projects with less explanations... how they tried to hide that mistakes but whenever I discovered it they just laugh...

These were the little men of my life... Not literally of course because they are all much taller than me...

I just enjoyed spending my time with them... 

They are another batch of quite naughty yet charming and talented students.

Hello there... here I go again with a new meme from Never Growing Old...

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

So here's my FIRST entry... 

Questions (with my answers):

1. What are you wearing right now? well, not exactly right now but few days ago... I wore this black tee-shirt (a signature shirt for our True Love Waits symposium)

2. Do you have any freckles? Nope, but acne marks, yes :(... 

3. What is your favorite Lifesaver flavor? minty candy feels good...

4. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

 Watch this movie... learn the lesson of forgiveness... 

5. Would you rather live without tv or without music? I can live without television as long as there is music... (but not for too long though ;)

Well, well, well... There you have it...
Wanna join the fun?

This picture was taken during one of our Lighthouse sessions...

Maybe all of us dreamed to have a better relationship with anyone else... Maybe all of us longed to maintain a healthy feeling towards one another... and maybe all of us wants to get along well with all the people that we may encounter along the way.

Obviously because we all love PEACE. Who wants to fight against anyone else anyway? Not unless, you are not on your mind today.

It is even much better to maintain a symbiotic relationship not only with other people not so close to you but to your love ones especially!

That was my ultimate dream.

The hardest fight to make up is the fight with your love ones. When painful things have been said already, when misunderstanding arises, indeed it is really hard to patch up. When we are hurt by our love ones, it is the most unbearable thing that could happen. These are the people whom you grow up with for so many years. These are the people that you cry with and laugh with since time immemorial... These are the same people who could tell so much about you and who could be so proud of you at the same time.

If you felt like you are being misunderstood right now, I feel for you.

If you felt like you are in pain right now, I feel for you...

Just bear in mind then that in every ordeals, there are lessons that we could learn.

We might be misunderstood sometimes but it shall come to pass...

Yes, it will really come to pass whether you believe me or not.

I should tell myself over and over again, that this will come to pass.

After all, as the song goes ♪ there's a rainbow always after the rain ♪


Mind you, rainbow symbolizes a Blessed Hope!
