[SEA-Teaching] 2017.01.21 City Tour

We’ve got the news that by Saturday in the first week, we will be taken on do City Tour and we were very excited about it. We heard quite a lot about the places in Cebu and when we asked for a spoiler about where we will be going, Cassey told us we might go to some place in the mountain and the Temple of Leah. When I and Dea (excitingly) search on Google what is this Temple of Leah place, we are amazed and become more excited. Known also as Temple of Love, the place is amazingly beautiful (in Google) so we were really looking forward to going there.

Only later, we didn’t go there, too bad.

There was a landslide in the mountain and they closed the access to Temple of Leah. So. Sad. But well, there is always a reason to comeback and we will still go to do the City Tour. Around 11PM, dressed in our casual clothes we went to the first floor to meet Dr. Rita. She didn’t go with us, neither do Cassey and Jasmine but we were accompanied by other students from the teaching department. Meet with the coolest squad consist of Budz, a big guy who loves Korean drama and know most of the great place in Cebu, Therese, a girl with bright smile who happened to live near a beach, Rika, a nice girl who explains a lot of the Cebu history and Marion, a gentleman majoring in English. Together with the tour guide, we were off to go around the city.

We were given the schedule of our tour and yeah, sadly, Temple of Leah is not there (still can’t move on lol). Dea and I look at each other and whine over the fact that we can’t go there. The guide gave us snacks while we were on the road. The weather was sunny that day and in fact it was too bright. Own, who was sick the day before was as red as a crab. But this kind of weather was nothing compared to Pontianak, my hometown, though.

Our first stop is Basilica del Santo Nino. One thing that piqued my interest since the first time I came to Cebu is the Holy Child figure which I know as Santo Nino later. You can find Santo Nino statues almost in every corner of Cebu. From what the students explain to us, the Basilica was founded in 1565 and is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the country. When we arrived, we were greeted by people who sold souvenirs. Key chains, shirts, you name it. They sold key chains for 100PHP/5 key chain which is kind of expensive, because later I found a far cheaper souvenir store, haha. Anyway, we proceed to the Magellan cross first. Magellan Cross is in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. It was a big cross, and I really loved the painting on the ceiling above the cross. There are a lot of candles surrounding the cross for praying purposes. Once we took some photos there, we went inside the Basilica.

When we crossed the gate, a big field greeted us along with the decoration hanging above us. Must be from the Sinulog festival which takes place the week before. We can see a lot of people gather together, praying, seeking bless from the Santo Nino. We proceed to go inside the church and the interior is amazing. It feels like I was in a European country.

There is a statue of I ‘LOVE’ CEBU in front of Basilica del Santo Nino, right in front of one of the biggest souvenirs shop in Cebu, Island Souvenirs. So, after we strike some pose we are off to go to the next destination.

The rest of the place I have visited is a bit of a blur, but we took a lot of photos there.

Then, after stopping in one or two places, we stopped by a rather small place. It was a house with rather traditional style but it’s pretty neat. It’s only the three of us the exchange students plus the tour guide who were coming to the place. At first I thought it was a restaurant since in the other part of the house there is a place resembles café but it turned out to be a museum! Casa Gorardo museum is the name of the house. We went inside, waiting for the guide to come. Few minutes later, a cheerful looking woman came into the room and introduce herself as the guide of the museum. She took us around, explaining about the history of Cebu first then took us to the Casa Gorordo. Casa Gorordo is actually the house of the first bishop in Cebu. Casa means house in Spanish and Gorordo is the name of the family who lives in it before. The house is a mix of traditional Filipino house and European house. What’s amazing from the house is it was made from blocks of solid coral and the window sill was made from shells.

We went around the house. Everything is taken care inside the house and still in the great condition.

We are a bit too excited taking photo around the house so we should really catch up with the schedule. Traffic in Cebu is pretty tight so we only have one more place to go before going home. It was already 4PM at that time so we rushed to go to the last destination. We were going to the Mactan Shrine where there is a statue of Lapu-Lapu. He was a king once in Cebu.

Before we going back, there is a small food stall outside the Mactan Shrine who sell Tempura, a food made out of fish. I had sore-throat that day but Dea tried. Later, she becomes a fan of Tempura.

Around 7PM we were going back to the school again. It was fun traveling around the city and getting to know the history behind them.

I Be Teaching

This year I had the wonderful opportunity of being able to train/advise/teach in three (3) different levels:

Professional;

College (University of the Philippines Los Baños, Technological Institute of the Philippines, National University); and

High School (Jesus' Flock Academy).

Work sent me to serve as resources speaker and train Water District Personnel. I was able to do research consulting and advise college students on their undergraduate theses and mentor some of our office's On-the-Job Trainees. And I was able to teach a Calculus class at the High School I've graduated at... I think it's the irony of ironies that I did this because I've never really saw my self doing teaching or any kind of teaching or transferring of knowledge because I was a terrible student back in college. I failed more than ten (10) subjects and I took me 8 years to finish a five (5)-year degree program. I feel like I had to right to teach anyone. Hahaha...

I'm confused with this experience. It was like a paradox. "It was", borrowing the words of Charles Dickens, "the best of times, it was the worst of times..." It was physically and mentally tiring, but it was also very refreshing. I remember one time I would go straight from the flight of my fieldwork in Marawi City straight to my Calculus class in Jesus' Flock Academy. The mental gear shift I had to do was very challenging. I came from talking with the military, politicians, and government officials about rebuilding a city from an ISIS siege to talking to high school students about simple and innocent stuff like Calculus. But that was also very refreshing, teaching high school made me forget for a while all the heavy problems I was dealing with work... and of course interacting with people on three (3) different levels gave me a lot of perspectives which I know is making me a better engineer and civil servant.

I don't know if I'll be able to do this again in the future, because scheduling is tough, I work out of town a lot. I had to conduct some of high school class at night. I feel if I'll have a girlfriend in the future I won't be able to keep this up (LOL JK. Haha.)... We'll see. Haha.

P.S. My Calculus teaching and college thesis advising are all pro bono. I told my old high school I'll be doing it for free so that my permanent work can never accuse me of doing "sideline" (side jobs). Just a disclaimer, because some officemates might see this and start a gossip in the office that I have another job. Haha!

Billy or Dante,

Is there room for a hot muscular surfer jock at the house?

Surfs Up

Dante begins to transform you, you become smooth and ripped.

But merely becoming a Jock version of your self is not... well, wishmaster enough so I step in to kick it up.

Suddenly your body contours more, as your race changes, You skin becomes paler, all your hair becomes black, suddenly English is no longer your 1st language.

You stumble till you trip towards a surf board, your surfboard.

You are super sexy and muscular, you have all the girls on the beach staring at you as you stand there. Feeling you need to show off you grab the board and head for the coast.

You realize as you head for the water, your firm new ass on display, you are fluent in many Asian languages which makes you popular throughout Japan, South Korea, Philippines and even China. When not touring showing off your surf talent you live at our mansion, teaching us all to speak new and exciting languages while getting familiar with your new sexy form. Hang Ten Bro.

ハングテン, 항텐, magbitay ng sampu

can we get to know the perverted faculty in midnight darling?

hoo boy. i was gonna make it a stretch goal to include each and every subject mc might get as a biology major in the philippines but have the named ones for now.

warnings: homophobic society, inappropriate teacher/student relationships, age gap, infidelity/adultery, ageism, voyeurism/exhibitionism, sexual and typical yandere themes. dark content. this is a lot smuttier than all of my previous headcannons oh god.

[previous part] — yandere bad boy/jock, good girl, nerd and president.

YANDERE COLLEGE! FACULTY! X POPULAR GIRL! READER [PANGALAWANG YUGTO / SECOND PART]

ELOISE MORIN - PHYSICS TEACHER

✎ Eloise Morin was always drawn to you. You stuck out like sore thumb in her long list of faces she had to memorize every year and was the only time she ever broke a rule. The rule being to never fall in love with one of her students.

✎ It all started with the pairing of her sister, Ella Morin (The Emo! Kid) with you in order to break her out of her shell. The other faculty members seemed to trust you, and you had perfect grades.

✎ Sometimes your harem regrets always cleaning your record with how much the professors called upon you for tasks, thus reducing your time with them.

✎ And it worked, Ella’s grades improved and the sisters’s home life was better. They started actually talking during meals. She just seemed so much happier.

✎ Eloise soon found out it wasn’t because you were friends, it was moreso that you’d relieve Ella of stress when she acted to your whims.

✎ The woman could never forget the time she caught you eating out her little sister after a study session. In her own damn home.

✎ She was confused. Any responsible teacher and guardian would put a stop to this, right? But she found herself welcoming you in every time. Ignoring your disheveled look after ‘hanging out’ with Ella. Always treating you well so you’d be incentivized to come again and again into her home.

✎ So she can watch you defiling her baby sister as she touched herself to sounds of your moans.

✎Her horny levels are pretty terrible for an adult. Eloise was brought up to be a stout, pious woman. Never to have any sexual relations before marriage, much less the same gender. She was never attracted to the men around her and through you she finally knew why.

✎ She has yet to explore her likes and dislikes but what she does know is that merely seeing you gets her absolutely dripping in arousal. She fantasizes day in and out about what you could do to her and where you could do it.

✎On her sister’s bed? The Kitchen counter as she cooked dinner for you whenever you stayed for the night? In front of the class as she teaches? On the desk of that damn principal that kept creeping on you?

✎The only thing stopping her from pouncing on you is guilt. Guilt that she’s attracted to a person much younger than her. A woman no less. What would her parents think? Sure, they’re dead. But Eloise can still imagine the disappointment they’d show if she gave into these lustful urges.

✎What Popular! Reader thinks of her : Like many of your teachers and fellow students. You see her as a means to an end. However, unlike the rest of them, Eloise does interest you the most. You’re waiting to see the moment she snaps. Ready to taint her with your colors.

AMELIA YORKSHIRE - LINGUISTICS TEACHER

✎ Amelia is the eldest teacher in the staff list. She’s a triple divorcee with a child from each husband.

✎ She craves male approval and used to work with Ricardo to bring you down a peg. Before you came in, she was known to harass her male students and show a little too much skin that it was unprofessional at best.

✎ She quickly switched to the other side after a private one-on-one exam with you.

✎ Not only did you get a perfect score in that test, you also managed to give her a better orgasm than all her husbands combined.

✎Also uses her family to get you closer. This time more intentionally. C’mon don’t you just love children? Aren’t hers the cutest?

✎She doesn’t make it discreet when it comes to her more perverted side. Often shoving her cleavage to your face when in class.

✎Tried using another student to make you jealous and that only made you turned off.

✎Is currently desperately trying to earn your attention back. At this point she might as well wear nothing to school.

✎ What Popular! Reader thinks of her: You aren’t the type to slut shame. That would be quite hypocritical of you to do. But a professor obviously perving on her students was kind of baffling. She left little to the imagination, so after your first romp with Amelia you basically never touched her again. Unknowingly making her obsession worse.

✎ Hers was a minor subject anyways, so you didn’t put that much effort into humoring her. She was a great fuck though.

MARX ESGUERRA - BIOLOGY TEACHER

✎ Now Marx was a different story entirely. Unlike your more lowkey teasing with Eloise and disinterest with Amelia. It was well-known throughout the campus of your interest with the Biology teacher.

✎ It took a while to get into his pants. Marx was known to be even worse than Eloise when it came to how strict he was with himself and his students. He was teaching a new generation of healthcare workers after all.

✎ At least that’s what you thought. You didn’t realize it was because he was studying the best way to approach you.

✎ Marx thought of you of you as perfect. He knew what he wanted and what he wanted was for you to stay by his side. Permanently. He didn’t want a shallow connection like you had with Amelia and Justin.

✎ A perfect student like you deserved a perfect relationship from start to finish. And he’ll make sure to give you that.

✎ He expects you to be completely immaculate. He has an image of you that you have to follow. He’ll drill it into your mind if he has to. A perfect man needs a perfect spouse. He’ll never settle for less. He’ll wipe all those filthy hook-ups you’ve made from history. Besides you were just practicing for him, were you not? The rumors about your supposed interest in him do no good to stifle his delusions.

✎ He bumps your grades just a little bit after your dalliances to give the impression that he definitely does not want you just for the sex.

✎ What Popular! Reader thinks of him: A total snob. But you do what you must to gain perfect grades and better opportunities for yourself. Even if it means sleeping with that narcissistic man that kept staring holes into your body.

DANIEL CRUZ - THE PRINCIPAL

✎ This man is the very definition of corrupt. He knows of every dirty little secret that has happened in the school grounds and beyond and gets paid handsomely to hide that.

✎ Thus, he’s great at hiding your little relationship with him. From the school and his older wife.

✎ You were his secret as much as he was yours.

✎ You were just so much more beautiful, younger, tighter, than that stupid woman. He only wanted her when he was younger because she looked hot back then but age wasn’t so kind. After she got pregnant with his children she started showing signs of being grotesque so he often brought home other women to their marital bed. He just couldn’t get it hard with her for the life of him.

✎The wife is unfortunately used to his ways.

✎ Ever since you though, she noticed how he brought home less and less different women. Up until it was just you. She didn’t know if it was a relief or a more terrible sign that he’d actually fallen in love with a sidepiece.

✎ She didn’t know how to feel whenever you exited her own room after a night with her husband. A sorry look on your pretty features gave her a mix of anger for you pitying her and relief that whatever her husband felt, at least it wasn’t reciprocated.

✎ Other than his wife and perhaps even children (oh god) however, no one knows of your relationship with him. Not even Ricardo and he knows the most about you.

✎ What Popular! Reader thinks of him: Despite what many thought of you, you viewed marriage as sacred. You only ‘cheated’ on Justin because you didn’t want him to get killed. Once a promise is made it best be kept and treasured.

✎ And Daniel broke the most beautiful promise of them all.

✎ He’s one of the few people you actually strongly felt for. Unfortunately for him, it’s disdain.

A/N : This is the most filthiest thing I’ve written on this blog so far. I need to take a bath of holy water after this.

. . . ICE CREAM! featuring xiao!

contains! . . . genshin impact, adeptus xiao :OO !!, ooc probably, gn! reader, can be read as either platonic or romantic (though mainly platonic cuz there's barely any hints of romance here), reverse isekai (cuz there's hardly any content about it), xiao being randomly isekai'd to our world 💀, this is kind of inspired by the fact that I AM IN MANILA RN-, pinipig ice cream cuz I recently just ate one I love it so much that I got the motivation to write smth about it!!!, reader is on vacation, reader is kinda knowledgeable here- notes! . . . wew!! the plot's kinda shitty but whatever.

“... what is this.”

with a narrowed gaze, xiao stares at the chocolate coated ice cream he holds by the stick—suspicious of the frozen delight treat that you gave in front of him.

ever since the adepti had been isekai'd into your world and into your country, you'd thought to have some fun showing him around and letting him (more like encouraging him, actually. he's pretty reluctant to do anything since the guy's unfamiliar with the place) try things that weren't in the existence of Teyvat's regions.

(and to also teach him how to act appropriately without raising suspicions. thank goodness that you had spare clothes that fit him well, unless you want to deal with A LOT OF unwanted attention and unnerving stares).

and right now, you and xiao were sitting on a bench nearby a sari-sari store you've just came out of to buy some delicious treats—considering the concerning slight increase of warm temperature in your area near the hotel you're staying at (damn the sun).

plus, you wanted to cool down a bit before continuing to explore the capital of the Philippines, Manila, which you were originally taking a vacation in before xiao came barging into your life like a whirlwind of chaos.

(literally. he suddenly crashed right on to your bed while you were taking a shower before going to bed, which created a loud noise and made you get out of the bathroom to check what's going on—let's just say a lot of yelling from you and xiao being xiao alarmed the owner of the hotel for them to come knocking on your door to check if anything's okay there. you had to lie to their poor face, shouting from the other side that you have everything under control while you were manhandling and restraining the adepti the best you could. in the morning, after you and xiao settled things down for the night, you decided to fake up a story to the owner that the “friend” of yours had decided to spook the hell out of you by coming in through your window that night and that he needed to stay for a while—which they surprisingly bought and let you and your proclaimed “friend” xiao to switch to a bigger room for the both of you to stay in. rip your wallet though).

meanwhile, the corners of your mouth quirk up into a smile as you also were holding an ice cream that was identical to his, “oh! its called pinipig ice cream. its basically a vanilla ice cream bar that was rolled in pinipig before then coated in a layer of melted liquid chocolate. then, its settled aside for the chocolate to cool down before its packaged and shipped to places where it'll be sold.”

“what is ‘pinipig’?”

“basically a flattened rice ingredient that's made of immature grains of glutinous rice pounded until flat before being toasted.”

“... huh.”

then you randomly grasped xiao's wrist—the one he was using his hand to hold his ice cream—and gently guided the treat slightly closer to his mouth, which sort of startled him by your actions but you payed no mind to that.

“try it! it's delicious, I promise.” you flash him a more prominent smile as you let go of his wrist and tested your hand by your side, now anticipating for the guy to take a bite of the ice cream before it starts melting. xiao stares at the treat momentarily, debating if he should do what you've suggested him to do or should he not—nonetheless, he tried it anyways and took a small bite out of the corner of the ice cream.

“... its good.”

after moments of waiting and xiao stating his thought about the frozen delight, you pumped your fist and grunting a “yes!” to yourself which makes xiao briefly ponder what the neck you just did but just decided to eat his ice cream any ways, making you also eat your own ice cream before it could start to melt on your fingers.

you were sort of glad to have someone to company you on your vacation, even if it's an anemo vision wielding adeptus from a hit video game you knew all and well that got isekai'd here into your world for no apparent reason. but for now, you'll just chill for a while during your vacation until you can soon find a way to get him back to his world once again.

let's just hope he doesn't find out he's a fictional playable character whose only purpose is to serve and fill in a role in the game for entertainment (and comfort) reasons.

Colonialism is a disease

Imagine being an Arab Muslim and having the audacity to call someone else a colonizer. The illustration below is a snapshot of Islamic colonialism and occupation of other people's lands, from the 7th-9th centuries. Islam went on to attack, destroy, occupy and colonize vast swaths of Europe and southeast Asia, as well as what is now called Turkey.

The world has witnessed many colonial empires since the beginning of time. Most notably, the Mongols, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Egyptians, Islam/Ottomans, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Spanish, British, and American. The only empire that didn't take land, even after winning world wars, were the Americans. They actually gave back the Philippines. But I digress.

All of these empires were in large part, created by bloody conquest, and built on the backs of the newly subjugated. The Hebrews were, famously, slaves in Egypt. No one seems to teach this in the west, focusing more on the Romans, but of all the colonialists, one of the most deadly brutal and expansionist empires were the Muslims aka the Islamists. The Islamic empire expanded by sheer, from Medina (where Muhammad massacred and enslaved the 50% majority Jewish population) all the way into western North Africa, much of Europe, and large populations of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, parts of India now called Pakistan, etc). As it expanded using violence and fear, Islam literally took 100 million slaves out of Africa, and was responsible for one of the greatest mass murders in history: killing 10 million (or more) on the forced march from their homelands to the Middle East.

Some examples of Islamic slavery include the Al-Andalus slave trade, the Trans-Saharan slave trade, the Indian Ocean slave trade, the Comoros slave trade, the Zanzibar slave trade, the Red Sea slave trade, the Barbary slave trade, the Ottoman slave trade, the Black Sea slave trade, the Bukhara (Uzbekistan) slave trade, and the Khivan slave trade from which Islam took millions of slaves out of Persia to the Islamic khanates. There are Arab/Islamic societies today (Libya, a well-known example) that still trade slaves.

Compare this to Israel. Israel/Judea was never colonial nor expansionist. The Hebrews (aka Jews) were often properties of and were subjugated by, colonial empires, including the Islamic colonial empire.

They Hebrews themselves, as noted above, were most famously slaves of the the colonial Egyptian empire, some 4,000 years ago, before being murdered and subjugated by Islam starting in the 7th century. Somehow able to escape Egyptian tyranny through their own efforts (some say, by the grace of Hashem), the Hebrews settled in their current indigenous homeland 3.600 years ago - a small area by global standards, smaller than Belize, Albania, or Montenegro. They were happy there, and even at their peak, did not attempt to force convert others or expand much beyond their lands.

As historian Barbara Tuchman wrote, Israel is “the only nation in the world that is governing itself in the same territory, under the same name, and with the same religion and same language as it did 3,000 years ago.” Despite all the occupations and forced exiles, the Jews/Hebrews/Israelites have maintained a continuous presence in Judea/Israel/Samaria for some 3,600+ years. And even though Israel was granted modern statehood in 1948, it is one of the oldest continuously maintained countries in the world. The 'modern' state of Israel came to fruition post WWII, in 1948; the redefinition of borders and modern statehood after the fall of the big colonials was in no way unusual to Israel. Many country's modern borders came to be defined in the post colonial period (post WWI & WWII). While Israel and Lebanon and Iraq and Iran and Syria and Egypt were all ancient civilizations, dating back thousands of years, modern statehood came in the 20th century: For example, statehood was granted to Egypt in 1922; Saudi Arabia and Iraq in 1932; Lebanon in 1943; Indonesia, South Korea & Vietnam in 1945; Syria & Jordan in 1946; India & Pakistan in 1947; Israel, & Myanmar in 1948; Laos, Libya & Bhutan in 1951; Cambodia in 1953; Morocco, Sudan & Tunisia in 1956; Ghana & Malaysia in 1957; and so on.

The problem is, the tribalism and supremacy of Islam, can't stand that it's once-conquered land is now in the hands of the original owners. Islam believes that once it puts a flag in the sand somewhere, it's theirs.

Oh, and by the way, Andalusia (Spain) is next in Islam's sights.

👀 I have may a little silly question but: Has Mea had been learning or teaching ES!Bumblebee to speak in tagalog?

She has a few times but since Mea is from the visayas region of the Philippines, she teaches Bumblebee bisaya instead! (She'll leave the tagalog stuff to Alex)

Often times Bumblebee will ask Alex for confirmation if what Mea has been teaching him is accurate cause he knows how much of a little shit she can be BAHAHA

"Yawa ka" is a curse phrase Filipinos use (not only Filipinos from the visayas region use but basically almost all Filipinos do).

And what it means is that you're calling someone evil or a demon when you say "Yawa ka" and most Filipinos will troll foreigners by saying the opposite like "Oh it means beautiful" or "I love you" BSHDBD
