Photo Finish

Whew!

I've completed my mission for today and collected the money I need to enroll Bea tomorrow. It was just in the nick of time.

I have also collected some more to take care of the other bills, but only by a hair. Any unexpected expense (knock on wood...) would be the end of me. So I still have to double my efforts, both in work and in collections. Luckily, there are still some more...

Met a client this afternoon and he informed me that this school (run by a high school and college classmate) was interested in offering me a teaching position.

I have always wanted to teach, both for payback and to harass students (Joke!). And if all goes well, I will get the chance to try my hand in teaching this school year.

Wish me luck.

3 Objection(s):

At 8:58 AM, Deany Bocobo said...: So why are private school tuition fees so high do you think?

Could it be that 20,000,000 kids patronizing the so-called free public school system, represents unfair market competition that has warped the economics of education?

Why do we have to give 119.5 billion pesos this year to the gang in Pasig? What would happen if you gave that money instead to La Salle, Ateneo, St. Scho, etc. or to Smart, Globe, and other private companies to deliver 119.5 billion pesos worth of education and not 110.2 billions worth of welfare-like salaries. Nothing against public school teachers of course, coming from a family that helped invent the idea.

But isn't Deped just like Fedex with all drivers and no trucks?
At 12:11 PM, Punzi said...: I agree with that sir. I think we discussed that during iBlog2...
At 9:44 PM, categorically imperative said...: Hey Teacher Punzi, sorry if I haven't been performing well in class. How can I make up for a passing grade? (woohoo!!!)

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
