Juicy Inter- School Dance Competition 2011

posted by: burn category: Entertainment 3 Comments

It’s been awhile since the last time I blog. I been busy preparing for the dance contest called ” Juicy Inter – School Dance Competition”. It was held last September 25, 2011 at Emall Activity Center. Our high school students was one of the finalists of the said event.

During the solidarity time, where all the participant meet, I was so nervous for our competitors are very tough. They had huge backdrop, lots of props, their costume are awesome. Our student wore a very simple violet dance club t -shirt and gray pedal harlem. As the competition started, I instructed them to change. It was totally transformed. The girls wore red dance club t -shirt with black inner spaghetti shirt, black baggy harlem and red arm warmer while the boys wore black DC shirt, black baggy harlem, red cap and red arm warmer.

From the start of the dance, they wore gray sweat shirt except Jubert, for he wore red. At the beginning of their dance, students were shouting. In every transition of the music, they still shout. Their shouting and yelling helps the dancers boosts their confidence and level up their energy as they perform.

As the result were announced, I couldn’t breath. As it was finally announced, ” The GRAND CHAMPION of JUICY DANCE COMPETITION (CEBU)……

UNIVERSITY OF CEBU!. As it announced as UNIVERSITY, (for we are the only university who joined the said competition) I prayed to the LORD and give HIM thanks!

GRAND CHAMPION OF JUICY DANCE SYNERGY CEBU 2011

In behalf of the UCHS Dance Troupe, we would like to give thanks to Atty. Agusto W. Go, Ms. Candice Gotuinuy,  Dr. Ulysses Aparece, Engr.Son, Dr, Mary Pluryle Bucol, Mrs. Norma Oplada, Mrs. Janet Labrado, Mrs. Elvinia Cañete, MAPEH TEACHERS, All High School Faculty and Staff, Parents, Students and Above all, to our ALMIGHTY FATHER!

University of Cebu Teambuilding

posted by: burn category: Education, Personal 8 Comments

The University of Cebu High School Department had a team building at El Salvador, one of the resorts in Danao, Cebu. It  was participated by  faculty members. In our department, I was assigned to make a “kinilaw”. So, I woke up early and rushed to Pasil, a seaport in Cebu City. Then, I prepared the kinilaw. The assembly time was 7:30 to 8:00 am, I was almost late. The second bus was about to depart. Good thing that my co-teacher Abcill called me as to where I am. I told her that I was almost near at the school. To cut the story short, we reached the venue safe and sound.

Before the program started, we eat the foods that we had prepared. I was upset with my kinilaw whether they will like it. But it turn out that everyone who tried it gives positive response. Then suddenly, the program has started headed by our administrative assistant Mam Norma Oplado. Part of the program was the team building activity. The Mapeh Department was assigned in facilitating the activity. Before I join the rest of the group, I changed my attire for it was too hot. I wore a white short. My gluteus minimus was almost seen most especially when I bend. A cellulite cure is what I need.  But that moment, I didn’t care what I wear for all I want is to feel comfortable. Nevertheless, the game was so fun and all of us enjoyed it.

UbD: Understanding by Design

posted by: burn category: Education, Personal, Revealed Sentiments 32 Comments

We are currently formulating our UbD (Understanding by Design). This UbD is a new curriculum mandated by the DepEd (Department of Education) to be implemented to all first year level of this year. Last summer, teachers attended the UbD seminars. I wasn’t able to attend the said seminars for some reasons. One, I attended the Cebu Blog Camp and second I woke up late and I decided not to attend for I have to judge a Super Show Mom Contest. ( an irresponsible teacher huh!)

Now, I have to catch up what i had missed during my absence. As I google the word Ubd, I was amazed that foreign countries adapted this curriculum since 2003 or earlier. Some had already has its reversion. But here in our country Philippines, it sounds Greek to us. Every now and then, the education system as its ever changing the curriculum. It is just the same with eating other set of foods without chewing the previous one. Last year, we applied the PBL or problem- based learning. Still it is Greek to us. This PBL was implemented in all levels in our school. But in other school, they used this PBL starting in first year level , followed by the 2nd year level, 3rd and 4th year. So this means that the school adapted the PBL gradually. The situation in our school was, we implemented the PBL to all levels in the same year. What an agony?!

Then, here comes UbD. Well, I just hope that teachers will still have time to teach the students not spending much time in formulating the UbD.

University of Cebu’s struggle

posted by: burn category: Blog, Education, Personal 1 Comment

In 2002, University of Cebu faced great challenged. This challenge made the institution became one of the strongest institution in Central Cebu. It was April of the same year when the entire high school building was burnt. Facing with this challenge was not only felt by the president but also teachers and students as well. I am a newly hired teacher then. I really felt the needs of the students. We just hold our classes at the lobby using long wooden table with chair. Each classes were just separated using a bulletin board. You can just imagine how the noise destructs the student’s learning. In other words, the place is not conducive for learning.

However, University is a big institution and I am sure that it has a business insurance. Building a new infrastructure was just easy for them. In just a year, UC erected new face of high school building. All of us were happy and enjoyed its new classroom and facilities.

posted by: burn category: Blog, Lifestyle, Personal, Women 3 Comments

March 23, 2010 was the schedule of our graduation day. It is a customary that after graduation, the University of Cebu Teachers will have a celebration. We had lunch at the high school avr. The difference of this year was, it was a quadruple celebration.

1. Celebration for graduation

2. Birthday Bash

3. Honorary for UC faculty who will retire

4. Welcoming the UC Alumni Officers

Let us take it one by one.

1. Celebration for graduation. Congratulations to all our graduates. You may continue to walk in a right path and achieve your goals in life.

2. The birthday bash.  The celebration caters the celebrants of February, March and April. Luckily, I was assigned last year for the presentation. Here are the celebrants.

3. Honorary for UC faculty who will retire. It is my first time to observe this event in UC community. I been teaching for 8 years (quite long right?) but I haven’t seen this giving honor to the retirees.

Mrs. Mercader Soccoro and Ms. Teresa Par will be retiring this year. These women are great in their respective fields. To you mam, good luck, good health and God bless you always.

4. Welcoming the UC Alumni Officers. The president of UC Alumni association is Ms. Anna Trauzona.( I don’t know if I got it right for her family name). She happens to be one of the teachers in UC Nursing Department. Aside from being a teacher and with sense of humor, she has a powerful voice. Everybody loves her voice.

This is really a big celebration for this year.
