Dealing with Numbers

     Numbers, whether we like or not, significant or not, important or not, we deal with it 24/7.

     Numbers are significant in sports to keep track of the standings, statistics, etc..The winning streak of an NBA team, the current standing of a favorite PBA team, the win-loss record of the sought after UFC fighter, the grand slams of the current top 5 in ATP ranking, the number of goals of the famous striker, numbers are important.

      Everyday as I go to school, in order to time in, we need numbers, withdrawing salary from ATM's personal identification numbers are needed.  Most of  Identification Cards in my wallet are coded with numbers.  Recently, as we are making school forms, LRN (Learners' Reference Number) are needed to be  included.  We just can't get away with numbers!  Call it crazy, scary or witty, numbers can say it all.

     Today, as I listen to 7 speakers of the 7 Last Words of Jesus on the cross, numbers still lodged in my head that one the speakers mentioned and I think is noteworthy.  Jesus Christ our redeemer, said 7 important words, hanged on 1 cross with 3 nails and 1 goal: that is to save us all!  Thank you,  Lord, for dying on the cross for the redemption of our sins! To God Be The Glory!

    After 3 regional contests, 1 division and 1 national level,  hopefully next school year researchers will repeat that which SOF SY 2012-2013 have been through.

    It's almost summer break, thinking already of travel, island hopping and burning my skin to the heat of the sun, but researches  is burning my gray matter already.  One advisee came to me and said we're starting to make a national-worth-research paper, hopefully we can come up with that!  But the saying "You can't teach what you don't have" is quite demeaning, got to search and re-search with my students so that I could re-search myself in this enjoyable summer break.  Refreshing waters, here I come!
