What a Day!

It's past midnight again. Yesterday just turned out to be far different from my usual days here in Minnesota. I felt that I had accomplished something as I handled all of Mr. Forstner's classes at Washburn High. I did video and slide presentations about my country. It turned out to be pretty interactive as many of the students kept asking questions. Everybody was just so eager to ask anything about what they heard and saw. Each class ended with a lot of students wanting for more and wishing they could visit the Philippines one day. I was overwhelmed by Mr. Forstner's remarks about the whole presentation and how it went. I deserve a treat, don't I? So, I headed straight to my apartment and just drowned myself to sleep from 4:30 to 9:30PM. Self-cooked dinner came next. What a treat!

Here's a piece of my presentation. It is courtesy of the Department of Tourism, Philippines. Sit back and enjoy the tour!

Visit to Como Zoo and Conservatory

Our short and quick visit to the zoo and conservatory somehow brought us momentarily to another world - a world i imagined to be my home. It was basically due to the lush vegetation and the warm temperature which gave us all a short-lived relief from the bites of waning winter. Well, here's a first treat to the world of the wild and untamed! Enjoy this and more!

my first blog

It's past 12AM here in minneapolis. i was undecided as to what to present as a mini-project in amy's class when another ILEP Fellow from Indonesia (Erlin) showed up online and offered assistance. She willingly taught me how to start blogging. So here I am now. I welcome myself to blogspot!
