Gratitude and Excitement ~ New Chapter, New Challenges

 I'm excited to step into a new role as a School Administrator at STI College Ormoc! I’m truly grateful for this opportunity to lead, inspire, and contribute to the continued growth of our community. I look forward to working alongside our talented faculty and staff to ensure our students thrive both academically and personally. 

As I step into the role, my focus is to create a positive and dynamic learning environment where both students and staff can flourish. 

Leadership is about inspiring others and creating opportunities for growth. In this new role, I’m committed to empowering our students, faculty, and staff to reach their fullest potential.

As a school administrator, I believe that one of the most important aspects of leadership is listening. By hearing the concerns, ideas, and feedback from our students, faculty, and staff, we can work together to continuously improve and create an environment where everyone can thrive. 

August 24,2021 was the saddest day of our lives - the Sedoripas.....😪😥💔

Papa's younger brother died due to Covid - 19. It was so painful that he died that way and much more painful when we cannot pay our last respect to him. He needs to be buried right away 😭😭😭

We cannot contain our emotions because we never anticipated this kind of event. My heart is devastated seeing my Tiya and her children suffered. Their Family was so close knit. As in, I  see them together and happy. They lived a simple life and their happiness is just based on little things and most importantly, being together. And now, this things happen... It will never be the same again.

 I could recall, how  we lost our Mom 20 years ago due to a lung disease. Because of her passing, We never celebrated Christmas on that same year and so with our Annual Fiesta the following year. Day by day, how I wished my Mom is still alive and be with us. But, that could never  happen. Her memories will live forever.

This pandemic is no joke, it hit people left and right. Our weapons are vaccination, follow safety protocols and most importantly, our Faith in God. Prayer works, God is our salvation.

I am hoping and praying that this too will pass and no more covid variants will arise. Together, let us all pray that everything will be fine and alright and go back to normal. Let us heal as one ♥ 

Lake Danao - Ormoc

Ormoc City's pride - Lake Danao ♥♥♥

Lake Danao is a guitar-shaped lake on the island of Leyte in the Philippines. The lake is covering an area of 148 hectares. It is situated in the 2,193 hectares Lake Danao Natural Park, which also includes the Amandiwin mountain range.taken from Wikipedia 

The lake is situated maybe around 19kms away from the city and when I was younger, our elders won't allow us to visit or swim there because of an urban legend that the lake was very deep and no one can ever measure it. also there was a big fish in the lake, as big as a Jeepney daw  😊

I was residing more or less 10kms from the lake. the transportation before was very difficult and the road was so rough. It is good now that the road is concrete as in it is so accessible and easy to go there. 

Ormocanons and visitors can now enjoy Lake Danao with its floating cottages. But since it is pandemic, most of the time, the lake is close for security purposes.

Pictures shown were taken just this year when it was re opened. Our Family loves going there because of the very cold weather perfect for relaxation and bonding. 

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while:)  well, it was so long since I posted here.

I really have so many things to blog when I am not here and now that I am here, my mind is empty :) and I really don't know where to start. 

well anyway, Vlogging is the new trend, but I kept my blog. I don't have yet the courage to create one and  I prefer to write even if I am not really good at it :) and also, I don't have a content yet.

When I started blogging, I just wanted to write something even if I know it doesn't interest anyone :) I only have few followers and to be honest, I am so scared and ashamed because writing is not my forte and it needs to have guts and talent to be here.

I just wanted everyone to know and wish all of us well in this current crisis that we are facing. Keep safe  and we can get through this with prayers and faith.....

STI Ormoc ~ Cebu Invasion 2016

Last January 11-13,2016, STI College Ormoc 3rd year BSIT students had their NYC ( National Youth COnvention ) and Company visit at the QUeen City of the South, Cebu City. It was a great experienced among the BSIT Students since they were able to visit big IT companies such as Accenture, Kyocera and Lexmark plus sidetrips on the big malls of Cebu as well as seen land marks and the prestigious school University of San Carlos which by the way is my alma mater :).

with my former College Professor ( Favorite Teacher ) Engr. Christian Maderazo of USC

We were able to meet and greet our Successful Alumni

Life is indeed a constant change……. I've been through a lot but it is my choice, no one influenced me. I made my own decision but a long the way I am always hurt…. Many times my hubby cheated on me but being a wife, I accepted him always for I don’t know really the reason. Maybe it is because I am scared to lose me, or is it because I love him or maybe I just wanted to show the third party that “hey I am the wife, he is mine”. These maybe my reasons but I cannot figure out which is which or maybe all of the above. The last time we fight, I realized how stupid I am to stick with the person who never cared me at all. Love is no longer there so maybe I should move on and be strong enough not to accept him this time. I change my ways, before, I run after him but now I swear to use my head instead of my heart. And I think I am on the right track. I too learned to tame my mouth and emotions this time because the more I talk and explain the more I comprehend my wanting for him. Stupidity is really in me but I must learn to let go of it. I know somehow, somewhere there is someone waiting for me or maybe he is just there watching me everyday. But my top priority now is my self and my son. I must reconstruct my life and live with it. I've been hurt many times by this person and yet he never showed any changes. It keeps on getting worsen each day. I don’t deserve this, I deserve better. He is not the end of my world. Reality bites but I don’t wanna prolong my agony. People laugh at me many times but I didn’t care coz what I believe is what I do. But this time, I must learn to include in my decisions what other people might say about me. I don’t wanna be blinded anymore. Enough is enough… God is my shelter and protector. Everyday I prayed to keep me away from him. I prayed too, to stick with my decisions and do what I believe in. I know no one can ever help me with my dilemma except the one up there. This I say is the biggest challenge in my life…………….

Changes in my Life!

It's been four months now since I leveled - up and my life is never been the same again...

New challenges which I enjoyed to the fullest and grateful to those people who made these things happened to me.

It made me smiles, as I recall and assessed how I am being in this new position. I feel intimated to my superiors and it makes me shiver everytime I have business with them. Our school is implementing SEP ( Speak English Policy )but when I spoke to them my tongue are tied and I cannot collect my thoughts correctly :)

Though I received good comments from our students and colleagues but I know I still have so many things to improve and change. I want to share what I have and unleash my potentials and capabilities to the highest level.

I admire our Administrator, Ms. Maricel Ngo. First of all, because of her articulateness, I feel everytime she speaks, she can get the attention of the audience. Second, for being tactful and for me that is her strongest asset. I respect her so much and I do not want to fail her expectations towards me.

I also admire, the Lucero's ( owner of STI - Ormoc ) for being simple and open minded. They are always ready and open for new ideas and very supportive.

But in every good things comes obstacles and predicaments which I anticipated.I wish everything would be fine and alright under my term as an Academic Head.I know there is no such thing as " perfect environment" but I am hopeful that whatever difficulty I am facing or we are facing it will dilapidated soon and all of us will wear our smiles to each other with no bitterness.

Thank God, we are still normal!
