It's 2018! Time to change my personal, brand bio for social media. Here it goes-
Children. Creativity.
Connections.
And a Cup of Coffee.
Did you like it? :)
Why Children? I always think and feel like them. I see the world of children, most especially when I am at our school as Academy Directress. The school's name is Lombosco Academy (Well, distance doesn't matter. Online management is in). The Academy is known as "The Threshold of Academic Excellence and Growth in God's Love." It has a low pupil-teacher ratio; hence, it is literally a "small" but "terrible" school, providing quality education. We are like "David" against all the "Goliaths". We teach not only all the content areas but also we form the children with our time-tested, golden values. We perpetuate the good Filipino ways of raising children but open to cultural shifts.
Creativity comes in. When I'm with children, I'm always fascinated with their bright ideas and remarkable ways to create things. At play, kids produce amazing thoughts and lovely impressions. Their imagination is rich and unlimited. Their spirit is contagious that when I do think of them, and when I interact with them, I also get inspired. Then, I can write a story for them. This is really awesome! Thank God, I'm also a children's book writer. I've already published four books, mostly "easy-reader". Moreover, I have four upcoming books for this year, ending in 8. It's funny to believe that 8 is lucky!
Connections approach me as in heaven-sent appearances in the form of people, things, images, abstraction, perception; and believing they are also ways of enlightenment. This word links the twain notions- children and creativity. The result is building a relationship. It is associating and influencing one another. It is networking. But the bottom line is sharing with the children and their parents, teachers, and guardians value-laden stories. It is creating and impacting changes.
Well, exceptional ideas like these stuff here that I'm writing at the moment pop up when I sip a cup of coffee. How I love its taste... and the aroma! When I smell it, immediately I'd like to begin my day. My thoughts become different and freely flow after having myself a cuppa. I'm fully awake now!
