Pagmamahal Sa Bayan
          
          Mahal mo ang iyong bayan? 
          Ikaw ba'y masaya na ika'y isang Pilipino? 
          Alam mo ba ang iyong kasaysayan?
          Maipagmamalaki mo ang iyong pagka-Pilipino? 
          
          Ang ating bansa'y naghihingalo,
          Kasakiman ang nagpapadilim sa ating bansa...
          
          Mahal mo ang iyong bansa? 
          Gusto mo ba na lagi tayong talunan? 
          Sa tingin mo?
          Kahit minsan naman, sana'y tayo'y panalo!
          
          Hindi ang nasa taas ang sukatan
          Upang iyong mahalin ang iyong bayan!
          Nasa puso mo magsisimula ang pagbabago,
          Huwag kang magtago!
          
          May talento ka na dapat mong gamitin,
          Ilabas mo ang iyong galing!
          Huwag kang matakot sa iyong sasapitin,
          Magsalita ka!
          
          Tayo'y likas na matatapang,
          Kahit di man gumamit ng dahas,
          Kaya mong ipagtanggol ang iyong bansa,
          Itaas mo ang iyong panulat, 
          Magsimula ka na sabihin ang katotohanan...
          
          Mula kay Jose Rizal at sa ating mga bagong bayani,
          Ang dugo natin ay lumalaban!
          Tandaan, huwag papagamit kahit kanino man!
          May tapang ang ating lahi!
          
          Tayo'y mga Pinoy,
          Lahi ng mga matatapang na kayumanggi,
          Tumayo ka, Pinoy!
          Hindi ka dapat nagpapaloko pa lagi!
          
          Kapag may nakitang mali,
          Dapat bang takpan mo ang iyong bibig? 
          O ika'y isang katulad ng agila,
          Lilipad upang ipakita ang lakas?
          
          Iniaalay ang tulang ito para sa lahat,
          Di lamang para sa mga manunulat,
          Di lamang sa mga mamamahayag,
          Mahalin mo ang iyong bansa!
          
          Kumatok tayo ng matindi,
          Upang tayo'y marinig,
          Buksan mo ang iyong bibig,
          Katotohanan ang dapat manaig!
          
          Mabasag man ang itlog sa harap ng bato,
          Naniniwala tayo,
          Ang lahat ng sakripisyo,
          Mananalo tayo!
          
          Huwag kang magpakabulag,
          Ang kapwa Pilipino'y huwag ilaglag,
          Tulungan mong ang katotohana'y malaman,
          Ilabas mo ang iyong kaalaman!
          
          Tumindig ka sa katotohanan,
          Ang lahat ng ating luha,
          Ito rin ay may katapusan...
          Mahalin mo ang iyong natatanging Perlas ng Silanganan...

May tanong lang po ako. Is this an okay workload?: 
          
          G1-10, may mga one-on-one at small classes ka, hawak mo lahat ng subjects ng students, pati na rin sa pag-grade tapos, may dagdag na isang subject sa physical pero 2 classrooms? May gamit naman ako na website pero mano-mano ko pa rin binibigay yung graded assignments ng mga students online. Tapos parang kasalanan ko pa kapag may di sinagutan or kulang ang students sa mga assignment nila.
          
          Hindi ko po alam kung I'd stay dahil sa dami ng loans ko o umalis na lang po eh. ‍♀️
          
          Di ko na lang po ma-reveal name ko to protect the school and myself po. :(

I'm hoping that you read the first chapter of my story!!! Thank you!!! ♥️

Title: 'Trigger'
          Kim Nam Gil; Kim Young Kwang 
          
          Kim Nam Gil and Kim Young Kwang impressed me again with the new Netflix Drama, Trigger! He's definitely an amazing actor in this drama! Most of all, it seemed knve again, I realized that up until now, Kim Nam Gil always make me happy when he makes his dramas! He doesn't really have a drama that I don't hate! The show totally was another socially-conscious drama and an alternate universe if South Korea gets to have free guns roaming in their country! 
          
          If you're like me and you're someone who loves dark, modern noir and crime fiction, this drama's worth it! 

Reasons why I respect the LGBT Community and use 'she' for transgenders? First, I see that their sex preference wasn't a sin at all. What they feel wasn't lust. It wasn't sin they felt that way. God made them that way. Second? I've been around LGBT Community and I am at awe how proud and confident some of them are... How would I feel bad and see them as wrong? Wasn't it better to just show our true selves than hide it because that's what your religion says? I'm Catholic and I never saw a rule and say 'LGBTQIA' are evil in the Bible.  
          
          Anyway, that's all. ♥️

Totally, I guess, I'm going to use this account more to say something I can't say on Facebook. Well, for one, I pretty much hate that some parts on FB seemed unsafe for me. I can't rant without other people seeing my posts. At least here, I know they won't see my post. 
          
          One thing I'm still wondering on my job as a teacher, was instruction on class schedules. I also am an online teacher and I don't even know when I'll make subject guides... Our principal doesn't seem to actually prioritize my job as an online teacher...
          
          Hoping he finally says something... 
          
          Well, I posted here since I really want to rant publicly. Even so, I also know he's not here in Wattpad. I feel safer here, after all. ❤️

New chapter is out!!! Hoping you're enjoying my fanfiction!!! Thank you!!! ♥️
