As I stood in front of the taho vendor, I said
"Kuya, padagdagan po ng arnibal."

1. sleep well the day before your acet test date, unironically having a good night's sleep will help you recall the things you need to know
reading reflection papers will always be a great experience
on one hand you're reading some well-written reflections and then on the other you're somehow reading about the most random thing that was done in class
and every now and then you encounter a taylor swift reference

me: so, after the authorship of the bill, the house moves on to the first reading where the house chooses a bill and announces its title and bill number. given that, what can the earlier bill be called?
another student: sir, Jolly Bill. Bill No. 87000
to my students! regardless of the result, will be supporting you every step of the way ;D

"INSERT TITLE OF AMAZING SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT HERE"
me, having icebreakers in class: If you had the chance to reincarnate into any object or living thing, what would you reincarnate into and why?
students' answers: jumbo hotdog, toiletbowl, bird, bear, doormat, tsinelas, cat, dog, eraser, alex turner from arctic monkeys-
it is honestly so fun to just listen to music bc if you listen close enough all of a sudden you are made aware of a very subtle instrument that is being played with the other sounds in the song
so u end up focusing on the sound and just end up appreciating music even more
tbh if anyone tells me, a history major that my course doesn't matter
im just going to have them look at 2020 and have them read everything that caused this shitstorm of a year to happen lol

and the one who won accidentally disconnected from the call out of joy
i feel like class suspensions, if there are any, need to be announced earlier considering how most ppl leave for school by like 5:00-6:30 am because of the traffic
everytime i think of making an introductory activity for students, my thought process is this:
1. will they enjoy it
2. will it be witty
3. will they think about it
then there is just one extra thought which is just
4. am i going to regret this
oh a hit tweet!
apolinario mabini was stricken with polio right before the revolution, that's why many photos depict him as being seated down as he lost the use of his legs

on a scale of 1-10, how are you all feeling?
this is a question i loved to ask all of my classes in varying forms and usually it's at the beginning of the class.
now i ask that question at the end of this school year;
how are you all feeling?
no one:
college students: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
given that i keep getting mistaken as a student, i'm genuinely thinking of dressing up as an old student with the lanyard just to spook everyone
