Another TD day
Today, just as any other usual school Thursday would go, we had TD tutoring session in the afternoon at Nangka, Marikina. This is the first time I brought my digital camera along so let me just jot down the usual monotonies of TD tutoring day.
The usual jeepney ride to Nangka from the high school is filled with laughs and songs. Actually, it depends which group of people I ride with. I usually ride with my classmates who have guitars.
As usual it took us about half an hour to get from school to Nangka. This is how the school grounds look like.
For English class, I had my kids to present the skit I asked them to prepare with their partners last week.
Because most of my kids are very poor in English, their dialogues were extremely hilarious. We always end up curling in laughter. I do try to relieve their deficiency by correcting their grammar and giving them the English equivalents to some Tagalog words.
After teaching English, I tutor Math to the same set of kids.
Hey, what kind of digital camera do you have? I want to buy one. Do you have any recommendations?
I’m not really an expert on digicams but the one I use is Canon PowerShot S230. There are a myriad of choices out there. From simple amateur digital cameras to feature-packed professional ones. it really depends
Ok thanks!

We made our own lesson plans every week and brought our own props, papers, and visual aids. Volunteering for Universitas Project Forge isn’t as demanding, because all materials are apparently ready beforehand. I wish I could do this every weekend, but all my other commitments won’t permit me, unfortunately. [...]
