Applying For LET exam

I've got my nerves fully loaded last Thursday so I'd better pull the trigger and strike the keys. It's not so much about ranting but just a few usual complaints.

I and two of my friends went to PRC Cebu to  apply for the Professional Teachers Licensure Exam on September. We've had our requirements ready days before. There aren't so many things required for First Time examinees. Here's the list I got from PRC:

1. NSO - photocopy (but you have to show your original copy)
2. TOR - photocopy (but you have to show your original copy) 
3. Cedula - photocopy (but you have to show your original copy)
4. Passport size picture - colored - just prepare 8 pcs
5. Postage stamp - (this is actually available at PRC)
6. Documentary stamp - (this is actually available at PRC)
7. Window envelope - (this is actually available at PRC)


Ooooppppsssss!!! pagpa-register sa diay online before ka moadto para dere-deretso ra imong pag apply.

Soooo, here's the drama. We went there around 7am (hihi unaware, others lined up around 4am). Manong guard informed us that they will cater first those who have already secured a priority number days before (again, dili na pud mi aware ana hahaha) But believing for God's favor we waited there until the guards distributed priority numbers (Yeeeyyyy!) Then we were told to come back later in the afternoon.

At around 2pm we came back and to our surprise the PRC office was jampacked with hopefuls from different cities and towns of the region. Chars murag ga audition! OMG! Ing-ani diay ni. They were serving around no. 650 and we're 830 in the queuing hahaha. The photo shows how kapoy we were and how crowded PRC is coz no more chairs.

We're still favored coz we didn't have to go back the next day. We finished the application on the same day. But yeah! Gambatte ne!

Filipino Stores and Restaurants in Tokyo

For somebody who craves for Filipino food and snacks from time to time, here are the stores I frequent to. I can only share a limited perspective but solely based on my experiences. Read on! Filipino Stores 1. Asia Yaosho (Kabukicho, Shinjuku)  While they mostly have Filipino products, they also sell Thai goods. I think their prices are a little lower than the other Filipino stores I've tried. However, they have limited stocks and they often run out of items that I usually need, like Bearbrand. 😁 Credits: This photo is from this website .  2.  Ameyoko Center Underground Marekt (Ueno)   This market is heaven for Southeast Asians. They have a lot of varieties, dry goods, frozen meat, and even fresh seafood. There are also two Filipino stores in the area. They sell more items than Asia Yaosho but they are a bit pricey.  Credits: Photo is from this website. The market is underground. The entrance is on the side of this building at the center of this photo.  3....

Seven

Favor! As I was preparing to apply for this job, I felt that certain peace and assurance that this would go well. True enough, I got shortlisted for an interview. But it wasn't only an interview, there was also a written exam and a teaching demo. All happened in one day. Then the waiting starts. Two months to be exact. This position isn't always available. It's uncertain how many teachers the city would accept in a year. And a lot of us would want to get in. The perks and benefits that come along this direct employment are something foreign workers are longing to have. Then they called me and told me I was first on the waitlist. We were all put on the waitlist. I heard there were over a hundred applicants. Less than half got called for an interview. Then about twenty were considered for the position. But it was still uncertain how many of the twenty will successfully sign a contract. Another week passed when I finally received a mail. It was the contract package. Then they ...

But Before Summer

Today, I held back my tears as I was watching my student hitting his head while saying, 'Atama ga warui' which literally means 'My head is bad'. The more precise translation would be 'I'm stupid' or 'I'm dumb'. The students were using their school provided tablets to do some listening tasks and yet this particular student was just carelessly tapping the screen, opening random school apps. So I approached him and tried to help him navigate the school portal. And as soon as we could open his digital workbook, I left him so he could find the pages and the audio file on his own. I went around the class to help the other kids. But I would from time to time check on that student at a distance. Then not long, he started hitting his head again and repeatedly telling himself 'I'm dumb'. It was so painful to watch. But then suddenly one classmate sitting next to him stood up and helped him and another one followed. I was moved by such sight.  H...
