Faith Sharing

In our C.L.E. (Religion) Classes, we always spent a few minutes of our time for Faith Sharing right before diving into the class discussion.

After the opening prayer, we would group ourselves and read a scripture from the Bible assigned to us.
We would then get a sheet of paper, discuss what we had just read, and write down our reflections. (Only our discussions never did involve anything from the passage.)



.....Blah blah blah…Hahaha! Blah blah blah…Narinig mo na yung bagong kanta ni _ ? Blah blah blah…Tara tiangge tayo later!... Blah blah blah…Uy nawatch mo Felicity kagabi?.....


Naturally, our teacher Ms. Virtudazo would go from one group to the other to listen in (more like check on us) on our discussion.


.....Oo! Grabe! Sobrang cute ni Scott Speedma--nd so I learned that it is important to have a strong faith especially when we're thrust into difficult situations because it teaches us to be brave and guides us in determining what is good and what is not...

...Good one.

Juicy, Aromatic Dalandans

Chinese Class, 7th Grade.


While Lao Shur was discussing a story in our book, someone decided to eat the bag of dalandans one of our classmates brought to school that day.

Eating in class is a minor offense.

One by one, her seatmates, as well as a few others from the back row began to join in.
And no, the risk of getting caught wasn't going to deter them from taking their daily dose of Vitamin C.
And so was the lack of utensils.

As discreetly as they could, they began to peel off the skin with their hands and nibble on the pulps.
At that very moment, our teacher stops her lecture and asks if someone is eating in class.

Uhhh...nope. Uhhmm...no one.

Then sniffing the air, she goes: Shia nga leh tsia dalandan ah? (Who's eating dalandan, eh?)

Ms. Lim, Duh!

When we were in 7th Grade, we had mad skills of eating our lunch baons under the 15 minutes allotted for our Recess, but during Lunch Breaks, it's a whole different story.

We were always late.
Either we didn't notice the time (even after the bell rang) since we were having so much fun in the cafeteria, or we were just in our sloth mode, taking our time making our way to the classroom. Parang namamasyal sa Luneta.

And right after lunch one time, we had to go directly to the Art Room, and as usual, we were late yet again. (To be exact, we were 20 minutes late for a 40-minute class.)

Ms. Lim was furious.

She addresses Jeline, since she was last to arrive: Where have you been?!?

Jeline just stands quietly in front of the class.

Ms. Lim: Why are you late?!?!

Jeline defends herself boldly: Eh nag-C.R. pa kami! Tapos uminom pa kami! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Everyone, including the teacher, was shocked with Jeline's response.
Now even more furious, Ms. Lim begins a looong lecture on Disrespect while Ongson discreetly signals to Je to apologize.
She wouldn't budge.

And finally, ending her speech, Ms. Lim shouts to Je: WHO AM I??!? WHO AM I??!??

Jeline answers: Ms. Lim!



Oo nga naman. Duh!
