Inauguration of PCF Technical College – The first CONTAINER-VAN school in the world!
by Cheryl Golangco on Sep 13th, 2011
Around 2 weeks ago, I was invited to visit a school located in what used to be the famous SMOKEY MOUNTAINS of Tondo. The term does not refer to a beautiful landscape as that depicted in other countries, instead, the name was given because of the smoking mountains of garbage found in the area. This place has recently been rehabilitated and is hopefully on its way to becoming a more livable place for people. - I was hesitant at first, given i...Read More » Tags

The Sentiments of a Preschool Teacher by Joy Waniwan
by Cheryl Golangco on May 21st, 2011
DISCLAIMER: I am not the author of this blog, rather, it is a shared blog by my good friend Joy Waniwan - I am supposed to be doing my project for my grad school right now when I realized the date – four more days until Moving Up Day, the final event of the school year. It made me look back on all that’s happened for the past ten months. - This school year has been really tough for me - maybe the most difficult year since I st...Read More » Tags

A Mother’s Tale of Child Birth by Evelyn Pabelico
by Cheryl Golangco on Jan 1st, 2011
Happy New Year everyone! 2010 is over, so forget all the pains and misfortune that may have happened then... it's time to move on! For the first blog of the year, I've decided to share a blog a friend of mine wrote. She wrote this note a few months after giving birth to her 3rd child. I loved how honest she was about the difficulty, pain and most importantly, the joy of child birth. Here's to starting the year right! That we may all reme...Read More » Tags

First Snip: Learning to Cut
by Cheryl Golangco on Nov 19th, 2010
Cutting is an essential skill that each of us needs to learn during our early years. It may be scary at first, but it's easy to get the hang of it. - Children love playing with things they are not supposed to play with. They love touching things they are not supposed to touch. So when we tell them NOT to play with scissors, obviously, we just triggered their curiosity. They do not yet realize that scissors can hurt if not used properly, hen...Read More » Tags

by Cheryl Golangco on Sep 28th, 2010
I wasn't planning to blog about this, but since several people have been asking me what happened to the camera.... here it is! Last Tuesday, September 21, I got into a cab empty handed and walked out with a DSLR camera. It was left behind by the owner, and I decided to take it home. HOLD ON.... I decided to take it home and FIND the owner! I carefully looked through the bag and was disappointed on not finding a cellphone or any item that co...Read More » Tags

Lost and Found DSLR!
by Cheryl Golangco on Sep 21st, 2010
So it's a Tuesday night, and I was coming from somewhere in Sta. Mesa on my way to the Blue Water Day Spa bloggers' night. I was frantically in a hurry 'coz I was running really late and I know the traffic in Makati is really bad by this time. (Around 7pm) I originally intended to stay home and rest but changed my mind at the last minute...(I think this was my "destiny" haha) . I entered the cab and told the driver where to take me. I was s...Read More » Tags

Getting a C in Art is unacceptable!
by Cheryl Golangco on Sep 6th, 2010
Now I'm not sure how others would define art, or what other people think art is really all about. But to me, art is all about freedom of expression. What one person describes as a masterpiece may be considered horrible by others... but it's still a work of art. Coloring, drawing, painting, dancing, singing... all different kinds of art... all beautiful in its own way, regardless of style or genre. . So what does all this have to do with tea...Read More » Tags

Teaching animations!
by Cheryl Golangco on Jul 16th, 2010
Preschool is oftentimes a lot of fun because of our cute and curious little kids. It's always a blessing to see their faces whenever they discover something for the first time... and believe me, there's a lot of this in our class! I teach the pre-nursery level in a big school in Makati. The kids barely talk and rarely react. During the first few weeks, or even months of school, it would often feel like I was doing a one woman act! "What col...Read More » Tags
