I grew up in a very strict and conservative family. I am the only daughter and the second among the 5 siblings. I should say that we are a God-fearing family although not a religious one. My father is a disciplinarian as well as a non-advocate of religions. My mother on the other hand, puts high emphasis on education and strives hard to give us the best education which she never had. My family is a close-knitted one, not only between the seven of us, but also between relatives of both sides. I grew up and live in a neighborhood full of relatives on my father’s side. I also used to visit my mother’s hometown where all the neighbors are all my relatives on her side. Family values, honor and discipline have been instilled to us since childhood; academic and professional excellence has also been a goal. My elder brother is a police officer and two of my younger brothers are following the same path. I hope to become a lawyer in the near future, while the youngest brother, we hope he’d become a medical doctor, and thus, upholding academic excellence in the family.

私は保守的で厳しい家庭で育ちました。宗教的なものではないのですが、敬けんな家族で、父はしつけに厳しく、母は私たち兄弟に最高の教育を受けさせることに努めてくれました。親族も含め、家族の繋がりは強く、幼いころから家族の価値、恩恵や規則を教え込まれました。そして近い将来、私は弁護士になりたいと思っていますが、兄弟は警官になっていて、一番下の弟には医者を目指してほしいと思っています。

I am basically born and raised here in Mandaue City, Cebu. I live in a compound full of relatives. Though our place is IN the city but I could describe it as a peaceful and tranquil place, more like countryside, away from the main city. My place is located in the center of Cebu and well a lot convenient. It’s only few minutes from the mall, just a few minutes away from the beaches and just an hour or two away from some provinces.

セブ島にある島で育ち、親戚と一緒に住んでいます。町の中にありますが、田舎のように平和でのどかな場所です。セブの中心に位置しているのでとても便利でモールや海も近い上、１、２時間で田舎へ行くこともできます。

I have met a lot of students of different ages, places, jobs, personalities and even English levels but one this is common among the Japanese ESL students – the motivation. Almost every student I met has a very high level of motivation and dedication to improve their English skills. Whether they be a beginner or an intermediate student, the same level of dedication I see. This passion and enthusiam in every Japanese student makes both sides, teaching English, on my part, and studying English, on the student’s part, less stressful and difficult.

様々な年齢、場所、仕事をしていて、レベルも異なる生徒さんを見てきましたが、日本人の生徒さんに共通していることはモチベーションです。多くの生徒さんは高いモチベーションと熱心さを持っています。これらの意欲が、教える側と学ぶ側の両方のストレスや難しさをなくすのだと思います。

As a movie and TV buff, I have a very long list of my favorite TV programs. I must classify them according to their genre.

Crime/Action: Criminal Minds, Crime Scene investigation (CSI) and Prison Break
Criminal minds and CSI are investigating crime unit to tract down perpetrators of the crime. Crmininal Minds focuses on profiling the criminal through their behaviors while CSI tracts them down using pieces of crime scene evidence. Prison Break is a mainstream TV series about a man deliberately getting himself sent to prison in order to help his brother escape

Fantasy: Heroes, Lost and Moonlight
Heroes and Lost both has a huge cast. Heroes is about people with extra-ordinary abilities like telekinesis, regeneration, telepathy and revolves around how good mutants should save the world from bad mutants. Lost on the other hand, follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific

As an English teacher, my personal and professional goal is to help improve English level of every Japanese student. I should also see to it that I serve best the interest of my students. As an individual, I hope to become a lawyer 3 or 4 years from now and impart my knowledge and expertise to every Filipino people in need. Filipino society, one might see, on a negative note, as a corrupt and unjust society. But for an optimistic person like me, I know that there can still be a better place for every poor Filipino people.

英語教師としてすべての生徒さんの英語レベルを向上させる手助けになることを目標としています。また、生徒さんには最大限の関心をもって接するように注意すべきであると思っています。

I can always remember that when I was a child, Japan was like my dream country. With the advancement of Japan’s technology, I was hoping then to study and work in Japan as an inventor or some sort.  I am also into some Japanese movies like Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, Seven Samurais and Dreams. Samurais always impressed me. I also watched some famous Japanese movies like Letters from Iwo Jima and just recently Tokyo! But neither did I think that one day I’ll be meeting Japanese much more teaching them.
And after almost 7 months of talking and relating to Japanese people, I can say that Japanese culture and values is more than what I saw on the movies. Behind Japan’s rich culture, advanced & environment-friendly technologies and large economy are well-principled, hard-working and brilliant Japanese individuals.

私は子供のころ日本は夢の国であるといつも思っていました。日本のテクノロジーは進んでいるので、発明者として日本で働き、学びたいとも思っていました。また、黒澤明監督の映画も大好きで、最近は「硫黄島からの手紙」も見ました。そして、７か月間日本の人と接してきて、日本の文化や価値は映画で見るものよりもすばらしい思いました。なぜなら、進歩的で環境にやさしいテクノロジーやよく整えられた強い経済力、勤勉で優秀な人々がいる豊かな国だと言えるからです。
