Long wait is over, Naruto Gaiden's first chapter released!

     The first night I read the Naruto Gaiden Manga which is composed of 22 pages in the first chapter was kind of bizarre and nervous breaking. Though, it’s just the beginning of the story so that’s why it’s always the start of a new journey. The first chapter talks about Sarada Uchiha, who is the daughter of the only surviving Uchiha after the night of clan’s assassination – Sasuke. Many changes have happened since the alliance forces fought against Toneri, the descendant of Hamura Ootsutsuki, and Naruto became the seventh Hokage. In this Manga series, the main character Naruto have settled with his wife, Hinata and two offspring namely Boruto and Himawari, as well as the other characters, Shikamaru who is the mediator of the Nanadaime (7th Hokage) and Temari, a close friend and adviser of the Sand Kage have beard son Shikudai, Choji having a daughter namely Chuchu; Sasuke and Sakura have a daughter namely Sarada; new conflicts and strong enemies will come their ways.


     In the first chapter, young generations of Konoha (hidden leaf) came to the academy to learn new Jutsu, techniques in handling combat battles, the “ninja way” philosophies and preparing for the graduation exam or known as the Chunin exam for novice ninja. While Naruto is doing his Hokage works, his son Boruto done some foolish things in the village like what Naruto did when he was young during the third Hokage was alive. After learning things in the academy, Sarada and Chuchu were way back home together and meet Choji when they separate their ways. Sarada was at home when she openly asked Sakura, her mother about her father if he was wearing glasses and Sakura replied assumingly. The conflict arises when Sarada sarcastically asked her mother “you’re married to dad then you guess?” then Sakura got angry and unexpectedly destroyed their house with her powerful hand then Sakura fainted. By the time, Sakura was confined at the hospital, Sarada came back home to find some important things when  she got the framed family photo, found something attached to Sakura’s photo then removing it and surprisingly saw a girl with eyeglasses beside Sasuke and she tried to examine it. What do you think? Is there something Sarada should know from Sakura? Hmm, maybe the girl in the photo is the real mother of Sarada? Anyways, the next chapter will tell us the return of Sasuke in scenes and answers behind the photo can seek may be in the following chapters coming soon. So, keep feeding pages in Naruto Gaiden! Ganbatte minna!

Learning English is EXCITING and FUN in the Philippines!



    During winter season in Korea, many students came here in the Philippines to study English and the most interesting fact.. its been part of the country’s booming tourism which means more jobs and opportunities are offered whether you are not  an English major degree holder or other related courses as long as you could speak and understand English are all way good. Why do you think most Koreans want to study English here? They said its more cheaper than hiring Filipino English teacher in Korea who earns as much as 40,000 pesos in an estimated salary rate unlike studying here in the Philippines is more fun and exciting because aside from studying they do travelling like educational and eco-tourism tour in the local places and engaging them by attending cultural shows which are meaningful for understanding cultural diversity.


    An English learning center like English Knowledge Awareness (EKA), Inc, an exclusive school for Korean students are one of some English learning centers here in Davao City who cater students from Korea to study English and it is located in two branches: (1) Juna St., Matina, Davao City in front of PWC school and (2) GK, Lanang, Davao City in front of SM Lanang Premier. EKA is my first career entrance for teaching young students ranging from 10 to 15 years old for a month since it is contract based but it was a rare and memorable experience. Teaching with these cute and adorable students are way exciting and challenging because these adorable students have difficulties in reading, writing, speaking and learning English in advance but  most likely they like to interact with their teachers during activities and creative exercises that would boost their confidence and encouragement to study more English.


These are my few students who I taught English in EKA.


Yuchan (김유찬), a 13-year-old (Philippine age since he is two years older in Korea) middle school student in Korea and his English is “Mike”. This is one of my favorite students who became my free-time instructor in Chess board game during our Friday class since its activity day.   


Yujin (김유진), a 15-year-old middle school student in Korea and her English name is “Jenny”. She is one of my favorite students who always smile and shows decent through teachers. She likes KPOP music and watch movies.


Yuna (김유나), a 14-year-old middle school student in Korea. She is also one of my favorite students who like to talk KPOP every we finished studying English and doing the Stone-Rock-Scissors every time we do an activity.


Jiye (이지예), a 15-year-old middle school student in Korea and her English name “Sarah”. One of my students who is sometimes serious but happy to talk with. She likes reading comic books or Manhwa, it's more likely known a Manga in Japanese.


Donghyeon (강동현), a 13-year-old middle school student in Korea and his English name is “Phil”. Most teachers like him because of his pretty face and handsome look even if he is one of the naughtiest students but he likes his teachers a lot and always begged to play UNO card games every end of the class.

    These students are more adorable if you meet them personally and make friends to them. Though they already left Philippines last February 2015, they are still hoping to come back here soon. The teachers are also hoping them to apply what they learned from us. It's really fun to learn English with Filipino teachers.

*All photos were taken last February 25, 2015, the last day of students who became part of Junior Winter Camp in EKA, Inc.

An Unwinding Tour to the Garden of Eden Restored

This photo was taken last April 11, 2015 at Tamayong, Calinan, Davao City

          A nature theme park liked having a huge oval shape land form with tall and big walls and suited far from the center of the city can look like a Garden of Eden in the Bible. My ever and first step in the Garden of Eden Restored was a kind of embezzlement because the place has a stunning landscape, wondrous sceneries and world class facilities.

           Though the place is unknowing as the tourist spot in Davao City but this is open to the public and it was intently created for the members of Kingdom of Lord Christ for their meditation area. The founder of this place was the very known Pastor Apollo Quiboloy who had criticized by many as false prophet or preacher, having controversies in collecting huge money to its members and grabbing the huge land from Bagobo tribe by injustice killing thought that was the past issues but the members still believed that Pastor Quiboloy has the power and authority to see God because for them he is the appointed son of God.

                                                         This photo was taken last April 11, 2015 at Tamayong, Calinan, Davao City

          This wonderful place will surely be spotted as new tourist destination in the future because some villagers near the Garden of Eden Restored said that many people, who are non-believers came to this place and not just once but several times. The view of the place is mostly like a combination of nature theme resort and an amusement park because of the abundance of beautiful flowers (not an ordinary kind but most of them are imported flowers came from different parts of the world), it has coffee shops where you could eat light snacks and drink coffee, restaurants for luncheon dinning, souvenir centers, nursery for plants and world class facilities like the pastor’s house, a very expensive mansion. The total experience was  a  feeling that your are in the other side of the world, place like in the USA, London, Russia or another dimension in the Earth. This beautiful place is located at Prayer Mountain, Tamayong, Davao City
