MYSELF MYSELF I’m a happy person, Energetic. I love adventure, nature fascinates me. Having ten siblings is not easy though, but, I am glad they are my possessions that I’ll treasure forever. My only child Xavier Louis my greatest next to GOD. They are my source of strength.

What I Love To see the pictures of my dearest son… To fonder in his early age. I love to reminisce how inquisitive he was asking too many questions, but now becoming more independent Xavier Louis my precious possession To feel I am lucky to have him. A gift from God. Xavier Louis my precious possession

I LOVE… Being a teacher is a gift. Many are called but few are chosen. I’m lucky I am one. I am an outgoing person, adoptable and adjustable as well. I love reading probably that’s one reason why I am imaginative, my thought roams around and travels into a wonderful life of learning. What I’ve learned must dwell in my memory, so I could use to teach to my pupils as will as to share to my colleagues. Most often problems doesn’t strain me because I knew the existence of GOD is within me. I’m happy I’ve found HIM in my lowest moment of my life. My faith helped me to struggle, to endure the spices of my life before. Through His guidance, I wasn’t overwhelmed with so much pain, my attitude towards my life became different the moment I cling on Him. I wasn’t a teacher before as I can see my mom having a hard time doing her lesson plan, but, I now knew that though I’ve got plan still GOD has a better plan for me and now I’m happy and proud I am a teacher. Through the years I fonder back to happy days when I was still teaching in pre-school. Thought that always haunts me. YES, it’s nice to remember… Children young as three years old,less knowledge, became an engineer, an accountant… I’m so pleased I was once a part of their learning journey. These are my achievements that fills my soul. This is my Career, my World, full of surprises and wonders. To nurture my pupils; to assist them for them to grow and live as children of God; to belong to where they are suppose to be. I’ll be most glad if someday I’ll pass yet my memory will lingers by and stayed in their memory that once I became a part of their lives. Somehow I’ll leave the world fulfilled… have sowed the things that I must transmit the values, specially…learning and teaching is fun.Thanks God I was given this opportunity to come here in Singapore to attend such an amazing training.I never did thought that I can come back here in Singapore as a teacher not a “nanny” anymore. I love what I am doing now. God gave us skills, it is for us to use it and to cultivate it.

My picture … I was once in a cold country like this…(Switzerland) it was amazing how God created such a wonderful thing. Ours’ in the Philippines is a tropical country just right for us. Thanks to “magmypic” I was able to feel again I am there today. Thank you Mr. Mazlan ….
