The most awaiting day had started this day to observe the class for our field study. And finally, we already observed the class this early morning from 7:30 - 9:30 am, almost 2 hours. I woke up early at 5:15 am even though I sleep late, because my mind preoccupied many things like what will gonna happen this day? What will I do? How will I observe the class? something like that.. anyway, I came JASMS early as 7:20 am. thanks God! there's no traffic. and also for elementary teacher included us we should be there at 7:30 am because we have to be part of the flag ceremony. Whew! I really have to wake up early. I know I have difficult time to wake up so early in the morning.. I used to be late. haha.. but now I think the principal in that school is strict and she said to us "LATE IS A MORTAL SIN" here. Whew! I think teachers there are very punctual. So help me God.. please.
I was assigned to observe the class of Grade 4 of Teacher Jenny. At first, I'm excited and a little bit scared. Excited because I will meet the students and the teacher and able to observe the classroom setting and the discussion. Little bit scared because I hope my the teacher is not strict, fortunately she's not. :) and quite don't have any idea where to start. hehe....
We're lucky today because everything is okay with our observation. We had fun in our field study and doing great each day! :)
Here are some pictures, taken this morning.. I observed the class during their English time. They have a
long test and they checked also their test papers. :)
I was at the back sitting in a small chair and observing them. You know one thing that really make me smile is when they called me Teacher Kris. :) Is that nice to hear?..I'm so overwhelm that moment. Have a GREAT DAY!!
The sun is shining brightly

It's been a while since I drop my last blog.. I've been busy in my school and got little more excited because we have now field study meaning to say we're able to observe the class settings for about 2 hours in a school for elementary and in secondary. Too bad for today, because this should be the first day we're about to observe, unfortunately it was declared by the DEP ED that there's NO CLASS at all level due to typhoon FRANK. But when I woke up this morning..my gahd! there's no rain at all.. the sun shines brightly!..( sigh ) We, the education students we're super excited for this day, and this should be the great day for us.. unfortunately, it's not.. anyway, tomorrow will be the day for us!! haha...I think we're all prepared for tomorrow. :) here are some pictures that was taken during our orientation in JASAMS

Each of the bulletin boards designated to a club
They have also water for children. This is implemented by the PTA.
Anytime, children can drink here. This water is for them.
Their facilitiesFor dental check up, they have also scheduled dentist here.
They have also clinic, for emergency.
they have 2 beds. the one with the curtain is for the girls to separate from boys.
This is a classroom of a 7th grader. They only have one section.
They have also computer. From Kinder to high school they have a computer subject.
Many things had happened during the past 2 weeks of not blogging here.. haha.. sorry for that. I know my blog is too plain.. and no new updates for you to read guys.. My sister and my mom celebrated their birthdays. My Ate turned 23 last June 4, and my mother turned 53 last June 16. We celebrated their birthdays as simple, together with our special love ones. Foods are delicious and healthy....
Do you know how it feels to be ALONE?
Sunday, June 1, 2008 2:00 PM
I felt bad this morning.. a lot of things was said by my mom.. about my attitude, the way I act and everything.. all in a negative comments.. Am I too mean??.. Nagpapakatotoo lang ako.. and this is me.. nothing more, nothing less.. And one thing that really depressed me, she asked if I'm ready to be alone if one day she will be in abroad again..(my gahd!) Do they really know how it feels to be alone here??.. As always they really do that to me! Most of the time I'm always here all alone in our house as if I'm getting used of it. I keep on understanding them.. they work for a living! ok fine!.. i don't have any problem with that.. When my father died everything was changed.. I came home from school with no one to talk to.. because of our four corner house was filled with emptiness... no siblings, either my mom.. :'( I really miss my dad.. things before cannot turn back the time.. and all i can say to my mom... "go ahead! leave me now as you always do!" that moment I got teary eyed.. but I don't want my mom to see me crying.. and my mom ended that discussion as if she didn't hurt my feelings.. :'(
I know i have to be independent but not at this moment.. I'm not fully recovered in my father's death.. I also felt that no one cares about me.. that they can leave me in that way.. if my mom knew how It feels to be alone here.. :'( i really feel bad today..
I came home tired but happy.. =)
