Happy Birthday to my fellow school teacher , my Lola Rosing , who would’ve turned 106 today!
This spring☘ has challenged me in an array of ways along this countryside , which makes my work worthwhile.
Recently, we had our 🌎cultural🌏 🔖reports , and next week will be filled with résumés📑 and 💼interviews !
I aim for my students to accomplish these A’s💯 this semester:
As for yours truly, my own scholarly growth continues as I prepare my 🏐🏈🏀sport⚾️⚽️🎾 psychology presentation next month!

As I reached my ultimate goal for this role of Dr. Dispo and approach my next one ~ Tita Elaine ~ I’ve been reminiscing all Advent season-long about those who are important to me, especially my parents ~ who are counting down ’til grandparenthood …
my dad, Papa Jun , who from childhood to now has been involved in my projects
taught me how to compute basic math before I learned it in grade school
helped me with my Election Day political party coloring map in 6th grade
caught and froze insects for my bug collection assignment in 7th grade
took me to my first speech tournaments in 7th and 8th grade
coached me on the sidelines for my tennis matches in 8th grade
told me that he’d support me 100% when I applied for my doctorate
shopped with me for my presentation materials for my public defense
my mom, Mami Aya , who influenced me way more than I realized
taught me how to read at the tender age of two ~ which helped me articulate
wore sweet-smelling perfume that inspired my own fondness for fragrances
worked out to exercise videos ~ which spurred me on to publish about them
pointed out to me that my conduct affects my own relationships
my sister, Joanne , who has sent good vibes as she prepares to give birth to her first child (boy or girl?)
my mentor, Bishop Mike , who has shared the same home cities as my most recent schools
my bestie, Evie , who while praying and rooting me on all the way, went all out for my dissertation
This handful of special people were my starting five for Team Dr. D, out of a league of supporters throughout my Ph.D. GOD was the commissioner who made sure that I kept going while staying true to Him and myself …
Who needs CHRISTmas presents when I have their presence?

Two-Day Game Warning: Almost the End of Regulation !
As I approach my Big Day (Public Dissertation Defense ) to complete my Doctor of Philosophy , my journey toward this ultimate goal may be drawing to a close while my next one toward my career advancement will begin.
However, my Ph.D. pursuit has helped me grow, not just professionally , but also personally , and most of all: spiritually . Furthermore, this undertaking couldn’t have been accomplished single-handedly: GOD’s grace provided, JESUS’ example was all-sided, and the HOLY SPIRIT’s light guided, in addition to Team Dr. D, who had my back. I forever will be grateful to the †Heavenly HOLY TRINITY† and my positive supporters here on Earth , who’ve rooted me on all the way , leading up to this Tuesday, December 8 ~ save-the-date !
My next anticipated title this Advent : Tita Elaine .
We expect my future niece or nephew to arrive around CHRISTmas time ~ the very 1st grandchild of my parents , who recently celebrated their ♥wedding♥ anniversary . Yes, my family is very blessed . Regardless of these joyous times, I pray that we’ll always turn to the LORD , as we lead our lives here while preparing our eternal home in Heaven .
Sending peace and goodwill to San Bernadino, CA, in the wake of this terrorist tragedy. ✌

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident ! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the †LORD† your GOD , am with you wherever you go.
~ Joshua 1:9 *
Bishop Mike ~ who reminded me to look at the †cross† for renewed hope , ♥love♥ and trust ~ sent me this beautiful †cross† that was blessed by Pope Francis during his *Stateside* visit !
I received this generous gift from my spiritual mentor in great timing: the day before my latest conference call with my professor ** to practice my dissertation defense ~ in which I advanced to my first committee defense (preliminary presentation to my professors on board)! This reminds me of how the Bishop has always come through for me ~ particularly when he gave me the Holy Spirit blessing and medal right before I took my comprehensive examinations for my Master’s degree almost a decade ago!
He will not let you down.
~ Bishop Mike

¡Biénvenidos, Padre!
“Don’t walk alone, always be encouraged. Walk with courage. Courage gives you joy, and joy gives you hope. Always move with courage, and always move with hope. Ask GOD for these.” ~ Pope Francis tells young girl in Spanish (this translated message transcends to all of us) … Similarly, Bishop Mike advised me to always look at the †cross† to refresh my soul with new hope, ♥love♥ and trust. | Courtesy ABC ‘s Pope Francis & the People special

our awareness has been raised on how we take care of our environment … and each other .

We also must consider how we take care of ourselves, in terms of our own †spiritual† health .

Lately, I’ve reflected on my self-centered tendencies and been praying to be relieved of them in order to put my life in GOD’s hands . This hasn’t been easy. Fortunately, more messages have reminded me to get more †spiritually-fit.
Has this already been part of our genetic disposition * or is this something that we can learn **?

M is for …
M aryknoll ‘s Father Finch uses a m olecule m etaphor about our spirituality already being part of our †souls, from the Holy Spirit to uncover GOD’s m ysteries. By following these “spiritual† genetic instructions,” we serve and lead faithfully .

**Spiri†ual Bootcamp
First, we must make sure that we maintain our religious practices for the mind :
Go to Confession every month
Pray the Rosary everyday ~ offering our daily duty to be closer to the Holy Spirit
Scapular ~ “form me and shape me, Mother , in the form of Your Divine Son” (Marian way of life)
Furthermore, we must stay in good physical shape , so we have capable bodies :
Calisthenics are effective to take care of our temples ~ this activity is more ideal for our spirit than pop culture (e.g., watching TV, going online)
Bearing in mind and ♥ heart♥ all of the above advice plus last week’s scripture, I realize now more than ever that I’m no better than anyone else in the way that I treat others and ought to be treated; after all, as said every Ash Wednesday :
For you are dust, and to dust you shall return. ~ Genesis 3:19
That being said, let’s follow the Pontiff ‘s solid guidance to seek from GOD: courage –> joy –> hope ~ as I’ve studied this leadership practice for several years:
Encourage the ♥Heart♥

As I enter my sabbatical the remainder of this ☼summer☼ to strive to finish my dissertation and prepare my defense , I still reminisce about my college teaching career that started before I pursued my Ph.D. and continued to flourish in the process :
My most recent batch of students definitely maximized their potential !
