- I am considering to seriously use Visual Sociology as an approach in some of my classes next semester. #kayaninkayangmemorystoragenito
- I need to re-plant veggies in our frontyard. #habangdipatoxicsads112
- I am extending my gratitude to all my students who appreciated/respected/tolerated my unorthodox approach to learning.  Thank you for allowing me to actualize academic freedom in teaching Development Studies, Political Economy and Management.

Three reasons why I remain in UP

- academic freedom
- responsible and conscientious students
- psychic income*

Mema

I recently learned from a student about the abbreviation "mema" which, according to him, means "may/me maipasa lang". Abbreviation of a word or an idea usually emerges when it becomes commonly used or has grown into a widespread practice.  Labanan natin ang "mema". Uphold academic excellence. #huwagdinkakalimutanangsocialresponsibility

PAALALA

Maging responsable at mapagmalasakit din sa mga kamag-aral na napapabayaan ang pag-aaral anuman ang dahilan/idinadahilan nila.  Paalalahan at agapayan sila.
Sa mga mismong nagkakaproblema sa pag-aaral, dapat munang kilalanin na may problema talaga at ang (mga) sanhi nito.  Tulungan ang sarili at hayaang matulungan ka rin ng ibang nagmamagandang-loob.  Makakabuti ito para sa iyo at sa lahat.  Hindi ba pinakamabuti kung sabay-sabay umuunlad ang bawat isa. #hugot #huwagsayanginangpagkakataongumunlad

Paalala

 Freshies - Gamitin ang mga karanasan at natutunan ninyo nitong nakaraang semestre para higit na mapaghandaan ang mga susunod na semestre. #universitylife #mastoxicang2ndsembelieveme

Sophies - Nalalapit na ang simula ng lahat #DS100 #whatisthedevelopmentparadigmofthenoynoyadministration

Juniors - Simulang magbasa-basa ng Monthly Review Online #magigingmagaananglahatmanaligkagalema

Seniors - Tiyaking makuha lahat ng asignatura sa kurikulum ng kurso para masigurado rin ang pagtatapos sa Abril. Magpasa ng 2 kopya ng Practicon AVP na may cover title at ang lumang poster kada grupo para maitampok na eksibit sa CAS library #parangkailanlangkayoangbunsongDS

Mabuhay kayo!

Sa mga sumusunod na institusyon kasalukuyang nagtatrabaho at nagtutuloy ng medisina at abogasya ang mga mag-aaral ng Araling Pangkaunlaran na nagtapos noong Abril 2013.  Patuloy ko pa ring kinukumpleto ang talaang ito.
