Two weeks ago since I stand in the very center of this room,
I give you an activity which transcends to be a sort of assignment to be posted
on Facebook. After a week of hanging and waiting for your crafted “because in
said I would”, with the overwhelming response to the call of duty as part of
requirements as per the advice of Dean Hicarte, my excitement was given with a
due credence that tantamount into a heartfelt and unfeigned gratitude of thanks
for all your works. Truly, it is a labor out of love and compassionate heart
for your own personal agenda, growth and development and for professional one
as well. On a note to the side, I would like to make a very special commendation
and acknowledgement to some of the people whom I felt so special and solitary
with the eagerness to veritably and genuinely response to my activity and for
voraciously acting without hesitation that the activity conforms into something
that is for their own ones good. Ladies and gentlemen, with a resounding round
of applause help me to thank the following:
- Jayd Reignor Pascual-
for being the first to post his because I said I would and somewhat becomes the
standard caliber and barometer for other works as well. Your work really
inspires us all.
- Erin Reine Acuna-
whose work is so lengthy which is really a product of mind without any doubt
that it is her work and is not plagiarized. I appreciate the tedious work
you’ve done. Thank you!
- Jayson Bautista- the
fact that you were not physically present by the time I give the activity,
despite that matter, you still makes an effort to produce one. For that, I give
you smack dab recognition for that E as in “effort.”
- Karen Lapena, Jolina May
Santos, Mary Joy Valdez & Rogielyn Tanael- who don’t just make an
effort for sharing with us their “because I said I would” but also endeavored
to creatively showcase how grandiloquent and magnific they could share to
around one thousand Facebook friends their works are.
Upon browsing and reading all your “because I said I would”,
if there would be one work that really catches and snaffles my attention, it is
the words out of true love. Why true love? Simply because it’s rooted into what
kind of person she plays the role now. A role which I believe is as noble as
the profession we are all living up and expecting to be in the very near
future. It is the work of a person who found herself selfish and later on realized
how selfless she could be because of motherhood. Friends, allow me to read her
work: I didn't realize how selfish I was until motherhood showed me how
selfless I can be. The needs of my son caused me to prioritize things;
responsible enough. That's why today I promise to become more selfless and
to give the best that I can do: to love my son unconditionally no matter what.
I am fully aware that love is the greatest thing i can give than material
things. #BecauseIsaidIwould.
And that is from Hazel R. Magsipoc.
Now, to share to all of you the works of others, here is a
video clip prepared by our group leader Harriet Rejano whom I said to her-
“Amaze me”- as what the food critic said from the Disney Pixar Movie
Ratatouille. This is my first time to watch the video clip after two week so
together, to Harriet, “Amaze us”.
Once again, thank you very much and of course like what I
all posted and commented on your status- Congratulations- for your time even
if you have a busy schedule; for your effort even if you have things which you
need to prioritize more than posting a status in facebook; for your active
participation even if it is out of an equivalent grade as a requirement; and
lastly for sharing with us your promises even if it’s too ambitious, go-
getting, hard-driving but self- seeking. My humble and unpretentious “Thank
You” to everyone.
To those who did not post to make any effort even if it’s
too late, I say “Thank You” for you give me a reason to know you even more unto
how much you cherish and uphold duties and responsibilities at this very early
stage of training to become a good teacher. On a heavy note to the side, I also
say “sorry ” to you but you need to seize what Caesar seize.
Even I who give this activity made some effort to at
least share my “because I said I would”. I really don’t have the plan anymore
to post what’s mine but I feel it’s inequitable if I will not post mine since
you guys exerted efforts to response with the call I made to you. Upon reading
your works, I become totally blank about my promise for myself. Until few days
ago, after having a good tete-a-tete with my classmate, I already frame my mind
and come up with one that really took me some time to contemplate first and
ponder points whether I can make it or not. The feeling that I am the guiltiest
person with all my words and actions drives me to craft mine and hopefully make
humpy dumpy put together again after the great fall. So friends, I share to you
with trembling knees and butterflies in my belly my-- because I said I would:
“I promise to talk with my blockmates whom I feel I
intimidate them with my words and actions over the past few days and afterwards
create an environment which is free from distress and adversity. I promise to
make this until first week of September candidly and without equivocation
because I said I would.”
Well, I have a high wish for me to fulfill this one with my
cross fingers and all I can say: SO HELP ME GOD
To end this, 3 words- Remember Your Promise- and
hopefully, I will not be a frivolous and foolish to say- Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you meant what you promise. Silly
me.
Remember like your promises, be the living testament to do
your best and let God do the rest.
Thank You!
