World Teachers' Day, is held annually on the 5th of October since 1994, it commemorates teachers organizations worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.

My mother is a public school Teacher in the Philippines. She's been teaching for over 20 years. She's very committed to promote quality education in order for this children to have a descent life in the future. I am so proud of her and grateful, it won't be possible for me to have a good education and be the person I am today without her love, care, support and of course hard work. Also I won't ever forget and will always be proud of my Teachers from Grade school to High school and Professors back in the college days, they too played a very important role in all my achievements in life. Happy Teacher's Day to all the Teachers out there who are the heart of education system.

Happy Grandparents Day!

Just wishing every Grandparents in the whole world most especially to my Grandparents Lola Bing and Lolo Garing a Happy Grandparents Day. My Grandparents are the most important persons in my Life, I do love them so much. I am so thankful each and everyday for their undying Love and support, I wont be the person I am today without them.

Heres a little history about Grandparents Day. The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

California State Fair

We went to the state fair last Tuesday but unfortunately I forgot my cam at home and so I wasnt able to take pictures but nevertheless I had great time, especially when I was able to watch Natasha Bedingfield concert, for those who doesnt know her, heres the trivia: the commercial song for Pantene entitled unwritten is one of her hits. She grew up in the southwest of London. Both of Natasha's parents were born in New Zealand giving Natasha a strong identification with New Zealand. It was a great concert and the crowd was really cool. What I also enjoyed more are the foods. I had mexican, asian, american and some others, good thing that I have a tough gastrointestinal system and was able to manage. hehe...

The theme for this year state fair is Going Hollywood, they have some exhibits where they diplayed some costume and some other things that were used in blockbuster movies like Batman, Indiana Jones and a lot more. Im hoping one of this day I get the chance to visit hollywood, we just have to work first on our schedule. To sum up It was a great experience and my very first. I cant wait for another state fair next year and make sure ill bring my camera.
