5 Things You’ll See Inside A Teacher’s Bag

How would you find a girl who teaches? You’ll know she does because she always carries supersized bags.

1. Laptop

She has to carry her laptop every day with all the creative presentations for her kids. Yes, she sleeps late because she needs to prepare her lesson plan and all the visual aids for her classes. This applies to the teachers who do not have their own desktop in the classroom.

2. Flash Drive

She’s always ready. Just in case her laptop malfunctions, she has the back up of all the presentations, lesson plans and class records. Her flash drive is full of icebreakers, full of funny videos, and activities that will surely get the students attention.

3. Planner/Notepad

If she’s very organized, she keeps a planner that she updates everyday about her deadlines (grades, exams, narratives). However, if she’s really busy, there will always be a notepad or a sheet of paper with “Things to do” in it. Her activities never run out.

4. School Supplies

She may forget her makeup kit, but she’ll always have her pencil case with colorful pens in it. She always brings her cute grading stamps, sticky notes and all the stuff for the kids’ projects. Most of the time, she takes home some test papers inside her bag that she can’t even check at home because she’s too tired to work.

5. Water bottle

Mugs are overrated. Almost all of the teachers would say that they receive a dozen of mugs from their students every year. I think water bottles are necessity for teachers. She gives all of her effort during discussion. She uses different voices in telling a story. She exclaims when she’s happy. She sometimes yells to the naughty kids. A water bottle is something that would really help her survive throughout the day.

Trip to Hundred Islands, Pangasinan

Okay, this blog post is kinda outdated. I've been to Pangasinan last May 2014. And this is my story. :)

It's been five years since our last family out of town trip. Our vacations every summer stopped when mom got pregnant. Since our baby girl is now ready for a long drive, we're now ready to have vacations every summer. Yay!

We rented a van from UV express with a driver so that we can all enjoy the trip. Dad can't drive for long hours. (signs of aging) hahaha! :)

We left Dasma at around 8pm and we arrived there at 5am. We stayed in my mom's high school friend, sister Emily.

I still can't believe that the high school friend of my mom became a nun. LOL.

Here's a picture of us before we rode a boat to the islands. I don't look like I'm the eldest here. ;)

You can have your "photo op" in the tourism office. They'll ask you to pay for the entrance fee, which is very cheap. I think it's less than 50 pesos.

 
My brother and I enjoyed the boat ride. We were able to take lots of "couple" pictures. :))

I met this guy who really looks like Apl de Ap. He calls himself Buko de Ap because he sells buko juice in one of the islands.  

Here's another "couple" picture of us. Oh how I wish I brought my boyfriend there. Oh wait, I don't have a boyfriend. HAHAHA!

We saw an island with a secret cliff. Hey, It's my first time to jump off the cliff!

We also went to an island where there's a replica of Dyesebel. That's the setting of the first Dyesebel movie.

I love the cave adventures. And oh, some bats are visible in the caves.

My siblings and I really enjoyed the island hopping... 

...and the photo shoot! (Thanks mom! haha)

This little girl is the happiest. :)

I'm ending this post with a family picture. <3
