Write-Out-Loud.Com - Public Speaking Guide

A few days ago, I was invited by my grade school Alma Mater to be the guest speaker for this year’s graduating class in April.

It’s going to be an exciting activity for me delivering a speech in front of young audiences which I haven’t done for quite a while now. It’ll be my second time to grace my school with my new experiences or thoughts to share.

Eager to obtain their attention, I’m doing a little research of this generation, of what are their favorite games, activities, boy bands, dance moves, movies, superheroes and etc. Looking for better ideas and ways to be effective to my audiences, I also came across a website called write-out-loud.com and the tips are easy to learn, concise and very helpful.

I want it this time be delivered in Tagalog to better inject some humor and great stories because I planned to share my personal stories when I was at their age and at present. I’ll also impart the lives of some personalities to uplift their soul with encouragement and inspirations.

Right now, I’m making my draft while my daughter is playing around as "Bela the Pretty Mouse Not the Eewie Eewie One" and her mom is the "Neigh Neigh Horse" and I'm the "Christmas Deer"...

Extending Super Sunday - A Not So Distant Possibility

Can we extend Sunday for few more hours at least? How I fancy but I believe we can, I strongly believe I can!

Our daughter is growing fast; she’s so full of energy, very charming, very friendly and so eager to learn. We bought her tons of books even when she’ll still in utero and never thought she’d open them because of her interest with television and Disney movies. But now she’s reading on her own, at three years old while I’m also reading my book before bedtime.

There are days when we can complete ten books a night before going to sleep not counting the books she’ll ask us to read for her in daytime. This morning she ask me help her color her dolphins and butterfly and was proud to tell her grandma what she did with Dad’s help.

Yesterday, she helped me cleaned her aquarium and was talking to the fishes that they’ll be OK upon seeing them almost dying because it took me a long time to clean it and put back their oxygen.

Today she attended her make-up ballet class though we were there yesterday for her regular; she still delighted us staying in the room even while we’re outside peeping through the glass window.

Just before bedtime, she finished her homework of letters P and J for her Galileo class tomorrow and asks for more to do. So her Mom put out another book for her to trace letters but her love for animals is always there as she'd ask us to draw the animals from that book.

I have a plan to extend it, not today, but definitely have a plan to make it possible. It’s hard leaving our child for five days early in the morning to go to work but it’ll be harder if we haven't got any.

I believe that I am focused and my plans are still far from reality but still, I'm holding on to them... For our baby love...
