The New Face of My Fave Transformers Character - Bumble Bee! BE MORE!!

RIGHT NOW, pay attention to what you're thinking. Your first thoughts are like a frame that is placed around your entire day. Choose wisely. Think about all that is going right. Focus on all that you do have. Lean into all that your future holds. Ignore the past. Press through the pain and struggle. BE the one who goes farther even when it's hard. Make an impact right where you are at. If you influence one person for good today you've done a good work. Make a CHOICE to be the one who makes a real change. You are so much more powerful than you are even letting yourself be. It's time.

The Hidden Paradise, Tuka Beach Resort!

For like so many years already, i have been hearing TUKA Beach Resort as one of the must-go-to resorts here in Mindanao. I have been planning for years but had not found time until August 9, 2013, an Eid Al Fitr, end of Ramadan, a Muslim Holiday. Actually, my friends (another group) were inviting me to join them to celebrate the holiday at Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani Province, I kinda turned down the invitation since I have been in that place for like the nth time already and I was thinking that if there's a place where I will spend my one day vacation, it would definitely be somewhere I have not been yet. So, i was like thinking of seeing myself the boardwalk and baywalk at Kiamba, which i have heard from a friend that it's so nice there to relax. Then, the place is set for my one-day-vacation trip!
For the entire day, a day before the holiday, I was like thinking of the baywalk, I was so excited and got overthinking which led to the birth of the idea of going to TUKA! Since, I will be in Kiamba, why not take the opportunity to conquer TUKA Beach, a 15-minute boat ride away from the Lourdes Park (near Kiamba Baywalk).


...and here I come!!


HOW TO REACH TUKA BEACH RESORT, KIAMBA
1. Anywhere you may from, you have to start your trip to Kiamba at General Santos City
So there, if you want a very relaxing vacation, I suggest, the very refreshing air and clear waters of Tuka Beach Resort at Kiamba, Sarangani Province.
2. Go to ABLOG Terminal, and ride a van to Kiamba (FARE: Php100.00/head)
3. After you arrived at the Kiamba Terminal, you ride a Tricycle going to Lourdes Park, where the Department of Tourism Office is located. (FARE: Php8.00/head)
4. You have to visit the Tourism office first before going to TUKA for Registration (name and address of the tourist), entrance fee payment and rental of the pump boat. (Entrance Fee: Day Tour - Php25.00/head, Over Night Stay - Php50.00 // Pump Boat Special Trip: Php500.00/1-5pax // Php1,300.00/6 and more pax // Stone Table - Php100.00 // Open Cottage: Php300.00 [Day and Over Night Stay])

Attributes of Effective Schools

I graduated with a degree in computer science but here I am, rummaging the web about anything that discusses Attributes of Effective Schools. A sooo Education degree major topic. Well, since I am currently earning 18 units of Education subjects to be qualified to take the LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers), I don't have the right to complain or whine this ...errr, my not-so-cup-of-tea matter.

So, while doing this researching, too glad too have found this website which I think will be very helpful to me--> http://www.k12.wa.us/research/pubdocs/ninecharacteristics.pdf , you are heaven sent! Now, I have to make this as one of my references, create a slide show presentation to be presented before my already-professional classmates, oh yeah, this topic is assigned to me to be reported for tomorrow's class, and read and digest and read and digest this sooo foreign topic (for me) but of course I know I can do it ^__^ (tiwala lang, aja!)

This is all for now, have to go back to reading so I can start preparing for tomorrow's battle. Not to mention, I am excited to see my professor. I was absent on the first meeting for we had a family affair, was so excited to see my niece and nephew then, was lost track of time and voila! the last time I knew was I was so already late to attend the class. So, I decided not to go and enjoyed my time with my family (quality time).
