School Dress Code

Earlier my direct supervisor called my attention to stop wearing jeans since the dress code for faculty is to wear skirts or slacks. But, since I also attend to my business, I find this unlikely. I was however, advised to make an excuse letter for the college dean to exempt me from the dress code.

I have to feel guilty though because most of my jeans are skinny. Perhaps, my students and fellow faculty and higher administrators don't see these fit. My big weight somehow aggravates the appearance that I badly need some diet, exercise or weight loss surgery Mexico .

I shall however, make the needed request letter but I shall be more choosy when it comes to wearing jeans. Somehow, I have to look professional but comfortable in and out of school.

Meeting My Old Student from Eon Years

Over the eleven years of teaching, I had worked among four colleges and one high school. And, over those years, I cant hardly remember all the faces and names of my students.

However, when I went to check one boutique, I somehow noticed a beautiful lady looking back at me. I was about to leave when he said, " Did you teach in Notre Dame before?" I simply replied "yes." He then told me he was my student. Don't get me wrong, since my student is a certified gay.

I did look at him well and I can hardly remember the old features. He can still remember me after 9 years.

I can only feel happier that somehow, my students can remember me and that they have become better after school.

I wish to remember them all but I think that is simply impossible. I can only enjoy the time with them while it is possible. But, I wish them better and productive future after schooling.

Holiday Breaks Among Schools

Soon it will be holiday breaks in most countries as we celebrate Christmas and New Year. Part of the Filipino culture is to celebrate feasts and holidays as often as possible. I can say that most of the months in the calendar are attributed to giving honor to the dead or to celebrating religious activities.

Now, that festive holiday season is coming, we are preparing for Christmas parties for both students and faculty. There are even other employees who scout already for holiday outfit including Vera Wang dresses to boost.

Every one in the school simply love vacation and it is only during Christmas holidays that school personnel and students get the long breaks from classroom works.

Professional Growth Among IT Faculty

Since IT is a fast - pace profession, faculty members can only continuously update themselves with latest technology and professional affiliations with the industry and other institutions solidly grounded already.

I did join the Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators (PSITE) and normally, each region gets represented through their regional chapter.

With this association, a fellow teacher gets more oriented with the updates, benchmarks with the best and networks with industry and academic players who he may associate with in the future.

Thus, it helps if one is a member of a national or international institution. You get the due recognition and advancement you highly deserve.
