Yes, literally speaking, it's true. While composing this post, I was stranded in one of the grocery store in our city. Another typhoons is about to enter the Philippines' Area of Responsibility (PAR). It is bound to fall in Visayas and yet Mindanao is greatly affected. 

When the rain started, we're having a meeting. Good thing I was able to hitch on my colleague's car. However, I was seated on the corner and there's a water dripping on the car's window lid thus  causing my left arm and legs to get wet. 

When we arrived at the grocery store, my other co-passengers decided to have a bowl of hot "lomi"-it feels good on my tummy and somehow relieve me from that cold feeling. However, the rain didn't stop yet so I was compelled to enter the grocery store for some food stuff-thanks to GCash credit. 

I love the rain, but I hate it when I'm still outside...

If you are a woman and are experiencing any type of emotional pain that will not go away, there are several different groups you can get involved in to help you with this issue. Not knowing how to find these groups is the hardest thing, but there are certain strategies you can follow to find several of these groups quickly.

Look For All-Women Clubs

The first thing you can do is look for all-women clubs. Every city has one of these, and they usually have some type of headquarters in the downtown area. The great thing about an all-women club is that you can spill your heart out without any men judging you. Additionally, women can discuss how they feel about men without feeling ashamed.

Check Online

The next thing you can do is check online for organizations that help women who are going through an emotional time. It is important that you contact an organization that is making an impact all over the world. One of the greatest representations of this is HEARTS, which is a christian women workshop. This workshop is offered dozens and dozens of times throughout the year, and the workshop is offered in America and throughout the world. What makes this organization special is that it has a long list of names of women whose lives were drastically changed. Their workshops feature humor, emotion, the Bible, and much more, and they are known to be extremely fun, too.

As a woman, if you need any help with your emotions, you should get help today. Many women are in bad situations or even no longer living because they did not want to get help with their emotions. However, all women today have a chance to make better decisions.

I have low tolerance with self-centered people. In fact, I have to give up one of my students because she's becoming a great stressor. She deliberately get absent just to be with her boyfriend. Even her guardian can't do anything about it. In spite of all those REMINDERS, she just completely ignore it 

This new generation is so alarming. Morality standards become low. Mostly young girls aging 13 to 16 seems going crazy over "love". They're so obsessed and so engrossed with their emotion that they're more than willing to lie, deceive and sacrifice their studies just to be with the boy they "love"  I put quotations because I believe it's not love at all. It's simply pure attraction. How I wish parents should be more strict or form in disciplining their teenage kids. I can now imagine what kind of mother will I become when my own kids becomes teenagers. Limitations should be strictly emphasized.

"A good leader is somebody whom you can converse with minus the feeling of hostility nor intimidation"- Jackie Cee

Yup, that's my original quote and that's how I describe a good leader.

Just this morning, we were literally surprised with the surprise visit of no less than our Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Jonathan S. dela Peña. 

His presence does not cost us any burden at all. He's not intimidating. He has a very cool personality. I was even privilege enough to take him a picture. I was even joking at him that he should add me on his fb friend's list so I could tag him. And yes, I really searched for his profile and made a friend request. In less than an hour, he accepted my request! Cool, isn't it. Now we're having connections through the social media. I now have an update of his life, oops don't get me wrong, am not stalking him, I'll just wait for any update that would appear on my news feed.

Lastly, the SDS is very eloquent in giving speeches. There's never a dull moment when he's center stage. Indeed, he's a real game changer of the Department of Education!

It's FIRST OF JULY, yet we're here in the hospital with my daughter who is admitted for frequent vomiting. She just turned 5 yesterday. Later it was found out that she's suffering from gastritis and moderate dehydration. 

Chilling at PGMH

It is so costly to get sick. Good thing I was able to lend from a colleague. 

Lesson learned: be more cautious next time in choosing food for children.

One of the biggest ways you can express yourself creatively in school is by decorating your locker. Aside from your personal style, the inside of your locker reflects your unique sense of design, the connection and closeness you have with your friends and how good you are at organizing your school essentials. If your school has an open policy on locker decorating, the sky is the limit. Here are some fun ideas on how to make your school locker look like a million bucks. 

LED Lights

Your locker will quickly become the prime hangout spot in between classes when your friends catch a glimpse of your battery-operated LED lights. Not only are LED light strands a great source of extra light in your dark metal locker cave, they also look really cool taped to the very back wall.

Temporary Wallpaper

Removable or repositionable wallpaper or contact paper is a quick and mess-free way to add a playful pop of color or pattern to the interior of your locker door. You can coordinate the print to match your magnetic notepads, mirrors, dry-erase markers and writing boards, or you can mix and match patterns and colors for an added touch of fun.

Magnetic Fashion Bins/Cups

Maximizing room and effectively using up every square inch of available space in your locker is essential. Magnetic cups and bins adhere to the interior door of your locker and hold everything from pens and pencils to scissors, markers, highlighters glue sticks and rulers.

You can shop for many of these locker essentials online or at brick-and-mortar retailers in your community. When you shop online, you have a much better selection and availability of locker essentials. One example of an online retailer offering a full selection of decorating essentials and name brand Locker Lookz accessories is Coppin's Gifts: http://www.coppinsgifts.com/lockerlookz.html. 

From wallpaper to bins, clocks, mirrors, curtains and valances, you can find everything you need to spruce up your locker in one fell swoop online. As the school year progresses, you will love adding favorite photos of your friends, funny notes and decorative touches to your locker.
