My gift to ‘09: Something for the ages!

My dear ‘09 students,

I have a little something for all of you, but first some words.

I haven’t really taken my time to thank you for a wonderful year last year. You guys were just great! I admit, it got a little tough and rough for me but we were able to pull through. I wasn’t feeling too well physically mid-year because of the stress, but I loved teaching all my six sections so much that letting go of any was not an option for me (but I guess some of you would have loved that!). Thankfully, I got to pull it together for the 4th quarter.

That quarter was just the best for me, as I hope it was for you. That Middle East simulation was just awesome, (PJ, sorry if I ruined your plans…) and I’ll remember that week as your shining moment for me. But little did I know that there was another.

Guys, our Pisay Meets World just blew me away. I knew it could be big, but I didn’t expect it to be that big! And you have yourselves (yes, that means you Felize Angela Mendoza) to thank for that. Whoever thought that from a school project, a celebrity would be born? Or that for a week, you guys would be the buzz of the Pinoy blogosphere? And just lately, one of you even got published!

Your batch just never ceased to amaze me! I felt that there are a lot of things I could have done better and that I don’t deserve the great things you have done. But past is passed. A lot of you know what this next school year means for me, so I hope I learned a lot of my lessons by the time I begin with ‘10. Lessons you taught me.

So thank you, Batch ‘09. And here’s a little something for all of you, right after the cut.

And I present…

The very own homepage of Pisay Meets World so that you are no longer stuck with my face whenever you wish to relive your high school memories. It’s just a simple site and anyone who wishes to take over the site may do so. I don’t plan to do PMW again with ‘10 so that name will be yours and yours alone forever.

When I thought of the PMW, one of my reasons was to give you guys something to look back on in the future. Now with your own URL, you can do that anytime.

So good luck, Batch ‘09. You will be missed. Do very well because you guys have already inspired me to be better. I love you all!

Take care always,

Sir Martin
