Volleyball Game XS vs MHS: Lousy...




the pictures. Not the players. The day before Ondoy brought havoc to Metro Manila and our lives, the Xavier Faculty Women's Volleyball Team brought me nearer to dying of heart attack with the way they conquered, defeated, and maybe humiliated the fancier team from Loyola Heights.

I was only able to take four pictures of the occasion and they were all taken before the first ball was served. I was too engrossed, too excited, too pumped up to remember pointing, focusing, and clicking the camera after that. The opponents came with a deeper bench, flashier uniforms, and more impressive warm up skills. Ours had one or two players to spare, created on the spot uniforms (my kindergarten coloring skills were made useful), and a defeated, tired looking warm up. But as they say, looks can be deceiving. We had the more tenacious, grittier, and possibly more motivated team that day. Where did the motivation come from? Maybe from the A Day celebrations earlier or the aggressive cheering and support of a number of co-faculty members who came to watch them.

Am I proud of Xavier? You bet!

Reflection brought about by Typhoon Ondoy

Kay laking kabalintunaan
Kay laking kabuktutan
Na sa aking bansang Pilipinas
Lahat ng matataas
Tumatabon sa mahihirap

A Day with 1B

My first Appreciation Day as an adviser.  Among the many things I wanted to say about this day, I would just focus on one: the A Day celebration in the classroom.  

It made me happy.

When I arrived in the classroom with Ms. Biron and Xiao Lao Shi, nobody greeted us.  There was none of the boisterous shouting, whooping, and clapping that greeted the teachers in the other classrooms.  I thought I was in for a disappointment.  I even had to ask our president to offer the teachers chairs.

Then Joshua led the class in prayer.  And it was beautiful for it was sincere in delivery and deep in insight.  I felt affirmed in my belief in this boy's potential to achieve great and good things--a potential that I firmly believe is shared by all my students.  So as he prayed for us, I prayed for them.

We had games afterwards.  They were fun games for all the students and the mentors too gave of themselves to make them successful.  Gerard and Nathan, our dependable hosts for the event, did not have to drive themselves hoarse to give instructions and to ask everybody to participate. The members of the class just did. I did not notice time passing by.  All of a sudden it was break time.

The games too focused on us four.  We were the center of attention as it should be if only for this day. 

Let me end by correcting myself therefore.  The celebration in the classroom did not only make me happy.  It made me proud of my class. Thank you 1B and I look forward to your hosting the A Day not just in the classroom but in the entire school.
