Happy May the 4th be with You!
Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …
- First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*
Pinoy Pride ✌
*My remarks about Manny:
- He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:
- He lives by his faith
- He is a hero to his family and my native country due to
- his generosity from his earnings and
- his political career
… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:
- Professionally, obviously
- Personally ~ considering his history of violence
This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for
- The title and to remain undefeated
- $elfishly keeping his winnings
- Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You

Happy 🌍Earth🌎 🌏Day🌞 yesterday!
Bishop Mike blesses the tree that he & Angelo Catholic School planted at Holy Angels Catholic Church, San Angelo, TX
The first sign of being a Dynamic Catholic is Prayer.
We all pray differently in our daily lives, yet the practice that Matthew Kelly (2012) points out that can enhance our own communication with GOD is through our Examination of Conscience*, which we Catholics do before Confession, and we listen for His message.
Here, he goes through the steps of The Prayer Process:
- Gratitude
- Awareness
- Significant Moments
- Peace ✌
- Freedom
- Others
- Our Father
We opened our R.E. class with this simple reminder of the beginning…
*Now here are my Church’s Examination of Conscience:
The First 3 Commandments
- I am the LORD, your GOD; you shall have no other GODs besides Me.
- You shall not take the name of the LORD your GOD in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy.
Beautiful 💝gift🎁 from our special student Felicity
The 7 Deadly Sins (and their roots)
- Anger (root: fear of forgiving)
- Envy (root: fear of being powerless)
- Lust (root: fear of being a child)
- Pride (root: fear of submitting my will to another)
- Gluttony (root: fear of mortification)
- Sloth (root: fear of commitment)
- Avarice (root: fear of detachment)

April showers bring May flowers!
Orchids from my Sissy! (Chips aren’t mine)
We were blessed with bountiful storms this past spring and beautiful blossoms are in full bloom! When I visited my sister over Memorial Day weekend, she was so sweet enough to surprise me with these orchids to celebrate that I’m returning to my teaching career.
Floral Friday: Yellow Orchids from my Sister for my teaching career!
The last time that I received orchids was when my speech students brought me a bouquet a couple of years ago on Earth Day, toward the end of the spring semester.
Flashback Friday: Purple Orchids from my Public Speaking students!
The following class day, my Interpersonal Communication class gifted me with more pretty plant life to add to my office ☼window☼ …
Annie enjoys the posies!
… and much to the pleasure of my Double A-Team! †GOD† truly has ♣blessed♣ us!
Asia takes a whiff of the floral fragrances!
The rewards that I reap from teaching include influencing my students positively.
Throwback Thursday: Annie (student, not my cat) presets me with these goodies!
My student, a fellow Filipina, gave me this gesture of gratitude that touched my ♥heart♥.
Flowers always brighten up this teacher‘s day!
Relationships are like plants; we nurture them to grow. ~ my mom
