Pitch to #BecauseISaidIWould Activity

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!
