PTN E-PALS Project

I was about to post this last July 12, unfortunately we had problems with our internet connection. Well here it is:
It's a rainy day today. There's a typhoon and a humungous traffic along Commonwealth Ave. and it took me a long time to get to school only to find out that there’s even a bigger traffic in U.P. Village. All cars and school buses going to our school were entangled due to some streets with knee deep water. Hey give me a break it’s my birthday! I have to go around several blocks just to get through and avoid the traffic mess.
The rain must be a blessing, the good news is that a new baby is born today also. It’s the PTN E-PALS Project http://www.epalsproject.blog-city.com an. electronic collaboration through a shared writing space (blog) for students and teachers around the world initiated by the Pinoy Teachers Network. Kudos should go to MARISOL CRIBE ANGALA, PTN Director, Washington DC for implementing the project so fast.

Yehey!!! these were the shouts from my students. I was just about to finish writing this and the announcement just came in. Classes are now suspended this afternoon due to rising flood water and heavy rains in Quezon City. Our fun was short-lived when we opened the television in our faculty room, we saw rescuers digging in at which looks like a scene from the Leyte mudslide but this time its along Magsaysay Road a busy major street in Baguio City. Cars and houses buried underneath the mud. Let’s pray that no one was hurt.
