you're my one and only!

updated autobiography

It all started this way… During the tragedic earthquake of 1990, I was being carried by mom. Exactly December 27 of that year, I finally came out to see the world. A baby girl is finally given by the Almighty God. The blood that flows in her veins is from an Ilocano and a ZamboangeƱa. Her parents are Romeo Estal Cayetano and Primitiva Fernando Cayetano. She's the 5th and the so-called “unica iha”. She entered the catholic world and known today as Aileen F. Cayetano. At age of 4 1/2, I, Aileen, went to already to school. At my age, I grabbed the 3rd slot. The following year, at the same school, Crisanto Sanchez Day Care Center, I became the 1st honor. I spent my elementary days at San Jose East Central School. I could always be seen belonging to section one and the same time, a consistent honor student. I’ve join a lot of contest and I even dance before. I graduated with flying colors, the batch ’02-’03 class salutatorian. My parent expects a lot from me. That caused a lot of pressure on my part. When I finally moved on my teenage years, Constancio Padilla national High School had opened its doors for me. My classmates started to address me as “ma’am Aileen". I was always belong to the pilot sections, at the same time, a consistent honor student. The life during those years was more complicated. My fourth year played a great part in my life. This was where I felt the sadness, anger and especially to be happy. Despite of being shy (according to most of the people I met), I have been a part of the major organizations in my school; I became a consistent Supreme Student Government officer. I started as a representative, won the second time, became the assistant treasurer and finally, the treasurer. I was the writer-turned-feature editor of The Grain, our school publication. I became a COCC trainee when I was a junior and be a Lt. Col, the Corps G-2(Intelligence officer), the 4th highest position in our CAT I unit. I graduated as the 8th honorable and received some special awards last March 30, 2007. I may no be able to bring home the highest award, but, I am glad that during my stay in my Alma Mater I have left a mark in the memories and hearts of the persons who shared their life with me. I spread my wings and learning to fly on my own. I am pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education in my dream school, Central Luzon State University. I haven’t been a Dean’s Lister, University or College scholar, but I am proud to be a San Jose’s LGU scholar for almost 3 consecutive years. I met and will meet different faces… July 24, 2011 , my mother died without even saying a single word since she got sick. My father become alcoholic.

Without the knowledge of those people who don't want me 2 continue ...february 26, 2011, finally, i become an Iglesia ni Cristo. I earned my Bachelor's degree on November 24,2011.

Footprints in the Sand


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

Change the people around you at school. Influence them with your good work…even if others resist change…


In the first pot, she put some carrots.
In the second pot, she put some eggs.
In the third pot, she put some coffee beans that had been grounded into coffee powder.
She boiled all three pots for 15 minutes. Afterwards, she took out what she had put in the pot of boiling water.
The carrots which were hard became soft The eggs which were soft inside became hard .
But the water had the colour and the wonderful smell of coffee. The coffee powder disappeared.
Then, she thought of her life as a teacher. It is not always easy. It is not always comfortable. The life of a teacher is trying and difficult.
We work very hard but get few results. Things don’t happen as we wish. People don’t treat us as we hope.
The boiling water is like the problems in our life as teachers.
We can be like the carrots . We go in tough and strong. We come out soft and weak.
We get exhausted. We lose hope. We give up. We lose our fighting spirit.
We can be like the eggs . We start with a soft and sensitive heart. We end up very hard and unfeeling inside.
We become hard-hearted. The warm feeling is gone, only bitterness remains. We hate our job. We don’t like our students.
We can be like the coffee beans. The water does not change the coffee powder . The coffee powder changes the water!
The water has become different because of the coffee powder. You can see it. You can smell it. You can taste it. The hotter the water, the better the taste.
We can be like the coffee beans. We can make something good out of the difficulties we face in school .
We have the knowledge, the skills, and the abilities. We have the potentials to change the lives of our students for the better.
We can make our school a better place for work and learning.
To succeed, we must try… and try again. We must believe in what we are doing. We must not give up. We must be patient. We must keep pushing . difficulties problems handle with care
The problems and difficulties at school give us the chance to become stronger … and tougher … and better teachers .
What are we like when things do not go well in school? Are we like the carrots… or the eggs… or the coffee beans?
Be like the coffee beans!
Change the people around you at school. Influence them with your good work…even if others resist change…
… even if others harbor ill feelings against you.
… be a positive influence. Bring about change!
After all, in the final Analysis, God will be your judge.
