Dearest Shadow

-

Dearest Shadow,

Who is it that you follow;
Is it me or is it her?
Answer me quickly;
This isn’t Kansas anymore.

I can’t decide.
I can’t choose.
Am I the girl that fell
Or the witch who flew?

Answer me quickly;
These ruby shoes are stained
Red with blood.

Answer me quickly;
I may look innocent,
But I killed the Wicked Witch.

Answer me quickly;
I can’t see the wizard
Through the curtains
Anymore.

Answer me quickly;
I don’t think there’s an Oz for this

Dorothy.

NAT REVIEWER 2 - ARALING PANLIPUNAN IV 1.        Bakit na itinuturing na isang agham ang ekonomiks? Ⓐ     Sumasaklaw ito sa pagpapahalaga sa kultura at tradisyon ng bansa. Ⓑ     Pamamahagi ito ng kita ng pamahalaan sa mga taumbayan. Ⓒ     Pagsama-sama ito ng mga datos para pag-aralan ang bilang ng mga           nandadayuhan sa bansa.

MTOT for G10 in Araling Panlipunan: An Impression

-
                I packed my things quite late due to some hesitation because I had not been feeling well due to the summer heat. A week prior to the Mass Training of Teachers (MTOT)   I diligently took my medicine to be assured that I would be A-Okey.                   The early morning bus to Iloilo was cramped with teachers attending the MTOT.   Familiar faces boarded the Ceres Liner and together with my two co-teachers we took the time sleeping to catch the lost hours of a good night sleep.                 Proceeding to St. Paul’s University, we were greeted by courteous and beautiful looking young students who directed us to our places of concern.   Things went on smoothly.                 At the Opening Program, one line that came from Bro. Armin Luistro struck me: “Sow the seed of education in every child, nurture it and let it grow”.    For me who had personal objections and dilemma about the K-12 Program got caught with my responsibility as a teacher.   Silently, I

The Catcher In The Rye and The Concept of Communication

-
"If you really want to hear about it," protagonist Holden Caulfield opens, with his signature drawl, "the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born . . . and all that David Copperfield kind of crap (Salinger, 1)."

A first-time reader of the classic novel may be surprised at his crassness and tone, and undoubtedly this was the general reaction when the famed Catcher In The Rye was first published in 1951. However, over time, the infamous novel by the reclusive J.D. Salinger has garnered almost universal praise, and is now one of the most widely taught novels in the United States (Aubry, n.p.). The story concerns Holden Caulfield, a smart but troubled kid who, after being expelled from his boarding school in December 1949, spends his time wandering New York City, mourning for the loss of innocence in children, and failing to understand th
