Magandang hapon!...Selamat sore,.....Good afternoon....

Mabuhay!!...

Kamusta ka...

Ako ang Kumala Irjayanti, I'm from Borneo Tarakan University, North Kalimantan, Indonesia.

     First of all thank you so much for the opportunity that has given to me to stand here and deliver my speech. Thank you so much to Dr. Muyong as the President of the University  who has been very generous, humble, open minded accept all of us with open hand. I also want to say thank you so much to our coordinator Ma'am Mosura for being patience with us and taking good care for us and I'm sure that I'm going to miss her when I go back to Indonesia. Thank you so much also to my graceful mentor Ma'am Magbanwa and my lovely cooperative teacher Ma'am Netura, thank you also to Sir Terre the humble, friendly and open minded principal from Miagao National High School, Thank you for the buddies for their hard work in make sure everything is okay for us, thank you to all my fellow friends the exchange students, I love you all and the last but not least thank you so much for all of  the most important person in this ISAT U Miagao Campus and all the people here for accepting us as the students exchange, I really appreciate that.

     Thank you so much to ISAT U Miagao Campus because accepting us as the students exchange and being a very good host University for us. I'm not forget also to say thank you so much to Miagao National High School for accepting me as the student teacher and give me opportunities to teach the students.

     The best experience and unforgettable experience that I get from this SEAMEO program is be the student teacher for my students, in MNHS I teach grade 9 for three classes, be able to teach them and learning from them and also being part of their life is a huge blessing for me. I really love my students and I wish that all of them would be success and graceful person in the future and I also wish that they would be the students exchange for ISAT U someday. In MNHS ( Miagao National High School) I teach English subject but personally I think that didn't because they already good in English, English just as tools of communication for us, through English I teach my them the value of life, the value of family, the value of friendship, be caring, be loving, be grateful and be strong person. 

    Hoppefully they won't forget me because I will never forget them and all of you too, thank you so much for the knowledge, thank you so much for the experiences, thank you so much for the food, thank you so much for always to try give the best up to the best that you can, I'm sorry if I have doing some mistake please forgive me,...last word from me Maraming Salamat po, mahal na mahal kita :):):)

My Second and Third Week 

Welcome to the other story of my journey..

ILOILO SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY MIAGAO CAMPUS

Here we are the 12 students exchange who has been transfer to the external campus of ISAT U, at first we are so upset of being transfer but then after living here in Miagao we find out that it's very nice place and comfortable place, then we believe that we are the lucky one. Since we are assign in ISAT U Miagao Campus, then we have to conduct our practical teaching here. Among the twelve of us, there are 6 of us are the SAE - Teacher, they give me grade 9 to teach, so it means that I will conduct my practical  teaching in Miagao National High School.

Here we are in Miagao National High School
The place that bring a good memory for me :)

I have been conducting my teaching practice for two weeks to accomplish my 20 hours of teaching, I teach three classes of grade 9 students and they are Diamond class, Amethyst class and Sapphire class, all of the class for grade 9 take the types of the stone name. There are around 46 - 47 students in the class and we start the class at 07.30 am until 05.00 pm. even though it's very tiring but still it's unforgettable experience for me and I love doing that too. Actually, about the teaching activities I have already share it in my student teachers self report, so here I just wan to put a couple of photo about the practical activities.

There are two of big festival that we watch, the first one is Dinagyang Festival and three of us , Putt, Benz and me were so lucky to got the VIP ticket and be able to witness the performance in the Freedom Stage with the President of the university, Sir Muyong. We have more blessing day when Sir Muyong treat us Jollibee for breakfast and lunch and after that he drive us to the dorm while the others were just walking.

The second festival is Salakayan Festival, one of the biggest festival in Miagao and again we got the VIP tickets, but this time since we were so tired and we have to prepare our things so that we went home early right after the ISAT U and Miagao National High School performance. Both of the festival were held for two days. So lets take a look at the documentation of the festival.
