32 years of Teaching, Yakimix and a Selection of Sushis

A selection of Sushi(s) on my plate Thirty-two (32) years in teaching and 25 years in teaching at the Mindanao State University is something of an achievement. An excellent one, to say exactly. And when my dear friend, Mr. Gilbert Tan invited us to have it celebrated with him, I could not decline an offer that would be later held at some place I have not experienced yet - Yakimix.

What's adding to my already hectic schedule is th

I am an avid fan of RIVERMAYA. I went gaga over this band and had to shout it out the very first time here in my blog .  They are one of the most influential and critically acclaimed Rock Band in the country. Way back in college, I bought all their cassette tapes because I just feel very much connected with their songs. The original band composed of Bamboo, Rico Blanco, Perf de Castro, Mark Escueta and Nathan Azarcon were just undeniably good, and they produce real good music, pleasant to the ears that I can relate so much to the music and the lyrics though I am not much of a good singer myself. I even had to share my tapes over Facebook to show that I am a real fan.  Lately, a good friend, Irene , was posting pictures about her experiences with these boys. And I told her that I am a huge fan of the band, even until now that some of the members are new to include Norby David, Mike Elgar, Ryan Peralta except for Mark Escueta who's been keeping the band intact since he first
