So, back to business again

It's been more than a week since we separated ways with the other smart mentors. my plan then was to take a very deep rest (not really sleep but do things which does not need my mental processors, physical maybe, but for sure not mental) so, when i went back to baguio, i took my kids (Manev & Sab) gallivanting - the malls and Asin Hot spring before we finally came home to sagada. Again, i refused to see the computer for some time - then slowly i started reading the past lessons and those that we have done. i had to pick the diamond nuggets i dropped along the way when my mind refused to take anything anymore. so far, i had picked some but not all. i know, i have left even some bigger nuggets somewhere.

when i was ready to face the computer again, i was too disappointed for the MOPRECO (Mountain Province Electric Cooperative) was not ready for me - WALANG ILAW. too bad. the next day, the light came when it was already high noon. i have to go to school kasi walang internet sa bahay. hapssss, another disappointment walang internet. it took me (and some helpful hands through the phone) the whole afternoon (and we even continued it the next day) to diagnose the problem. Until - taraaan- i can now post again.

i came to realize how blessed we are again to be in that training that we had. it was in fact, the most comprehensive, mind and stomach fulfilling and even the most luxurious training i've ever been. it will forever put a mark in my life. just to have our closing program away from the venue of our training is already a luxury and to have it in tagaytay adds to the imprint. i am too overwhelmed. WHOA SMART.

i just had a nice chat with my colleague yesterday. i shared to him what happened and encouraged him to join the next screening if there will be (of course, there will be. this is too good a program to stop). i know he will grab the next opportunity and if he will not grab it, i will grab it for whoever is interested but i know basing from experience that he will be one of those who is the most interested.

there are other things i need to sort out but that training already gave me a headstart on whatever direction i need to take.

to our benefactors and to all those behind this, be assured that what i learned will not only be head knowledge and that it will not just stay within me. in fact, we already had an initial plan of when to have the 1st mentoring for a few teachers - yes, that will be before the end of May.

congratulations to all my co-smart mentors. let's live to what we have bitten.
