My XU Trip

On 25 to 30 August 2015 I was at Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan to teach in their graduate school. Public Economics and Macro ang ako subjects didto. 5 ako students sa Public Econ then 4 ang sa Macro. 25 to 27 August Public Econ mi. My students are Odette Caragos, RTWPB Reg. 10, Bernie Salinas, Regional Statistician, DOLE Reg. 10, Krisha Burgos, Jesuit Volunteer, Jeffrey Praga, Chevrolet CDO and Louie Sabal, XU Econ faculty. Lingaw pud sila, esp. the first 2 mentioned kay moparticipate jud in class. On 27 to 28 August diay pista sa CDO, Feast of San Agustin. But kami kay sige ra japon klase :) I must add that on 28 August sa gabii, nasnatch ako wallet which was Madon's pasalubong from Mongolia May last year sa Cogon Market. Ngadto mn gd mi Kresna sa Limketkai Center. Nasalisi ko sa Cogon when I got down from the jeep. Mosakay pa mn ko para Bayabas where my friend is staying. Cge n lng kay kwarta ra mn ang ilang habol nako. Basin wala to silay ikapamista maong namiktima ug tawo, esp. dayo. Nakuha diay ang akong cash sa wallet as well as my ATM card and BIR TIN card. Ang ako money pud from Mongolia and from Cambodia naapil ug kuha. Tsk tsk, snatchers talaga... On 29 August I went to BDO near Xavier to have my ATM card blocked. Nagwithdraw n lng pud ko'g kwarta. On 30 August after their presentations, I flew home to Cebu. Twas time well spent I must say. Kapoy lng kaju. Today I was told of their Elearn facility. It must be like Teletop in ISS or IVLE in NUS. Pwede ra kaayo mi meet didto virtually so that continue ang among sessions. Jia you Doki!

PhD Scholarship Again

I am rabidly looking for another PhD scholarship this time. Coz tiguwang n mn gd ko. I hope I'd still be lucky to land one again. I am looking at next year na start pohon. Na'na koy giapplyan, wait na lng ko for the application outcome. If di ko madawat ato, I have 3 more options pa. Jia you Doki, keep the faith lang! ;)

XU Grad School Econ

La jud ko lung-i ni Kresna. Sya naman diay kuno chair ron sa Econ Dept sa XU. She asked me to teach with their grad school this coming semester. Ako pa gihuwat ako sked kay diha ra ko adto didto kung wa koy klase diri Cebu. Ang initial plan is 2 modules ako iteach, Micro and Econ Dev. Nya Friday evening to Sunday daw ang sessions, straight. Sila ang bahala sa ako ticket and accomodation. Ay I'm excited with this Lord. I pray maplastar ni tanan. This is definitely something better for me. On the other hand, magkita mi ni Coach this way Lord? I will do my best to seek him out phon. Sa XU gym or asa ba. Kay ako rabay naay sala niya. Basta we do need to talk jud. Jia you Doki, keep the faith. God will put everything into place. :)

Summer 2015

I am not teaching this summer so I have a lot of time to think about my life. Bisan unsa na to ako gitry, till I bumped into the VA scam. I came to the conclusion that mobalik na lng sa KH even if tenured na ko sa CDU. La mn gd koy padulngan didto, all I do is teach and nothing more. Di ko kahandle ug supervisory position. I looked at Bongthom yday and I chanced upon this International Advisor post sa Sustainable Schools, operated by an American NGO. I applied right away. For interview na ko ig Monday phon. All the best Doki, basin mao na ni! :)

1st Sem DPA

I think I have survived my 1st sem of DPA. But I dunno if I can still proceed coz mahal mn gd and I'm paying out of my own pockets. I am thinking of applying for CHED scholarship though so that I can proceed and hopefully finish. Lingaw ra mn pd moeskwela gud. I pray for the best. Jia you Dok! :)

Unfriended

I have unfriended him from my Facebook. Coz he just wouldn't stop! Magcge'g panguyab nga minyo man diay, kainis! Jia you Doki. May you have a wonderful Christmas...

Panggulo

Naay niabot nga panggulo naho this time. He's my elementary classmate who I haven't heard from in a very long time. Actually last year he contacted me again but I was kinda busy then so nawala siya. This time, nanghasol na jud oi. Cge na'g call and text. Nya kay minyo na raba. Hay Doki, yaw palabi ana. Makasala tawn ka ana Inday. I keep the faith!

Reminder

I have started to forget him. But on Saturday 25 Oct I saw the PCCL Mindanao Championships held at their school. It was between STI-CDO and HTC GenSan. Nakita sya towards the end game coz they had a questionable call kung kinsang bola na sunod. Pastilan jud oi! Cge ayo2 kanunay, good luck to us always!!!

2nd Sem Studies

I have enrolled at SWU this 2nd Sem 2014-2015 for DPA studies. 12 units ako gikuha. Mahuman daw in 2yrs pohon. Fortunately, ma-arrange ra ang ubang subjects. I don't have to attend all my classes, by arrangement ra ang uban. Jia you Doki, God bless your plans!!! :)

Bucket List

These are the places in and out of Philippines that I would like to go to: Bacolod, Iloilo, Boracay; Halong Bay, Vietnam; Ilocos Region - Vigan, Bangui, the works; South Africa? the Middle East? Shanghai, China I dunno. Basta I love travelling!!!

September 2014 Updates

On Friday, 19 Sept he messaged to say sorry. Nothing more. I said I will only accept his sorry if moari sya'g Cebu. Demanding ra daw ko. Cge lang, all the best to us. On the professional side, I was approached by my chairman to apply for tenureship. Told him I will do it if sure na jud ko. Today, 21 Sept I talked to the current chair of USC Econ. She told me to come back, gave me direction. I said no, di na ko ana. Sila na lng ana. Mag-PhD n lng ko phon sa Iligan or mag-Master in ASEAN Studies sa UPOU. I keep the faith. Jia you Doki!

CDO and Iligan

I went to the abovementioned places last weekend. Nauwanan pa jud ko didtos Cathedral of St Augustine with Perte. From there didto mis Centrio. But niuli na lng sya kay magkita lagi unta mi. As it is, iya sister ra maoy nitunga. Hahahy! The next day I went to Iligan na lang, I didn't seek him out in XU. Reymar is in St Michael's College man and I went to their Intramurals. The next day I flew back to Cebu. Unsa jud kaha no? Juliapatricia once told me that I 'gotta be brave'. Muchas gracias, mi amiga. Hay Doki, you may really need to forget him once and for all. Keep the faith!

Summer 2014

We just finished Summer 2014. I had a great summer, I must say. I was teaching 2 subjects at CDU then Ate Jing went home for a 3-wk vacation. They went to Palawan. Sad lang coz the father of her boyfriend passed away while they were there. But other than that, they had a grand time in that trip. I was also able to enjoy the remainder of my summer vacation. We had an island hopping in Mactan last Saturday 24 May then we went to Panglao last Sunday 25 May. On Monday 26 May, Ate Jing and I went to visit our childhood place in Cawayanan, Tubigon, Bohol. After that I had to come back here in Cebu to work on my grades. Thank God I had a good summer. Good luck to us all!!!
