Batch INARA (ND Batch 2025)

 Poem for the ND Senior Students (Batch 2025)



Though time was short and moments few,

I’m grateful still I met all of you.

Late I came, yet in your light,

I saw your passion, bold and bright.


Now as you stand near journey’s end,

With dreams to chase and lives to mend,

I pray the lessons that you bear

Be seeds of love and thoughtful care.


Our field is needed every day,

In homes, in schools, hospital, in every way

So share your knowledge, give your best,

Be God’s own hands, be richly blessed.


I’m proud already, can’t wait to see

The heights you’ll reach, who you will be.

May your hearts stay kind, your purpose true

And may the world see Jesus in you.

Lessons Beyond the Classroom

  Welcome to Lessons Beyond the Classroom! Teaching isn’t just about lectures, lesson plans, or grading papers, it’s a journey of constant growth, discovery, and learning. Every day, as a teacher and department chair in Nutrition and Dietetics, I find myself immersed in experiences that go far beyond the syllabus. From conversations with students to unexpected challenges and heartwarming moments, each day brings new lessons, not just for my students, but for me as well. This blog is my spac e to reflect on those lessons. It’s where I’ll share the ups and downs of teaching, the joys and struggles of guiding young minds, and the insights I’ve gained from leading a department. It’s about the small, powerful moments that remind me why I chose this profession and how it continues to shape me as a person. Whether you’re an educator, a student, or someone simply curious about the world of teaching, I hope my reflections inspire, inform, or resonate with you in some way. Here, we’ll expl...

My Online Diary

Welcome  to my nearly daily introspection, musings, blog, and life's unfolding drama (a.k.a. my online diary) - RGO April 12, 2025:   Hello, how are you? Are you happy? Busy? Even if you're not feeling okay or maybe joyful, don’t forget to pause, rest, recharge and find true joy. It’s been months since my last post. Life has been hectic, and it’s only getting busier as the school year is nearing its end. I have so much to prepare, for graduation, my classes, our department… and honestly, I’m not quite ready. But at least I’ve started. Hayzzz, why is it so hard to earn money? (hehe) But despite the challenges, I’m genuinely happy being with my students and teaching again. I praise God for every blessing He continues to give. I’ll update again soon. Please pray for me.  January 19, 2025:   Hi hi! Just a quick update. I'm back in the Philippines! It's already been a week since I returned. The second semester has started, and things are getting busy again. Actually, I'm...

Discovering Japan: A Journey of History, Friendship, and Gratitude

Discovering Japan: A Journey of History, Friendship, and Gratitude By Ruchel Gagarin Oasan  ( 歐善璐 ) Embracing the Beauty of Japan and Beyond After a whirlwind six-day adventure across Japan, I find myself overflowing with emotions and thoughts. While my wallet may be a bit lighter, my heart is undoubtedly fuller. Japan, a country rich in history and culture, unfolded before me in a spectacular way. I've always been somewhat indifferent to history, but this trip changed that. Exploring four vibrant cities, including my now favorite, Kyoto, I found myself awestruck by the wealth of historical sites. Museums, palaces, shrines, and castles whispered tales of a past that, despite its complexities and shadows – notably Japan's role in World War II – left me with a deep appreciation for the nation's journey. The Joy of Shared Experiences This journey wouldn't have been the same without my travel companion, Beth. Initially, I harbored fears that our partnership might not gel pe...
