Nung high school ako, yung mga English and English Lit teachers faves ko. I remember Ms Espejo, Mrs Sandil (whom we affectionately called Grendel, after the contravida in Beowulf), Ms Pascual, and Mrs Pascual. Nasan na kaya sila? I don’t think I have ever thanked them. Sa college naman, si Prof Annette Ward…English Lit din ang tinuro nya sa class namin. I think I enjoyed their classes well because they were able to make the subject come alive.

That makes three of us. Most remembered teachers ko din mga English teachers ko nung HS

this is basically a ‘thank you’ note to her. i’m not even sure if she’s aware how much she has influenced us. i wish all of our teachers were like her — we’d have turned out better i think

She sounds great! My own English teacher in Woodrose, a woman named Ms. Yabyabin, had a commanding voice. She was even shorter than your Ms. Talon. Despite her advancing age and single status, she was a hopeless romantic. It was a tragic loss for the school when she finally succumbed to breast cancer. -_-

In any event, isn’t it great we’ve had such good teachers as them to remember?

Haha, sorry I haven’t left a comment for so long!

miss elsa flores, my 1st year english teacher, had been a big influence. i had this big crush on her that’s why i learned english to impress her. thank you miss flores. if not for you, i wouldn’t have a job. hahaha. and then miss gicole, my 4th year physics teacher, inspired me to appreciate math and science. ow ow! i was able to come across miss flores at atc last last year. she was with her husband and daughter. tsk tsk. i would have married her right there and then.

(Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Wuthering Heights, Vanity Fair) are my favorites…
You’re such a good guy for posting about your hs teacher. I’m sure she’s very proud of what you have achieved in your life. First of all, you write very well and I’m sure you speak even better.
Do I get a bottle of wine or a Kamikaze shot??? hehehe

I remember my high school teacher very well coz’ I had an affair with her. Wait, that’s from a movie…
Have a nice day!

thanks guys . i guess it’s no surprise why we all seem to remember our english teachers — they did point us in the right direction after all.
celle, welcome back. i hope everything’s a-ok with you.
venk_man, di ko alam crush mo pala english teacher mo. i expect she was quite young kaya mo napansin.
naughty alvin, you sure live up to your namesake (alvin the chimpmunk) . you must live a very interesting life

Yeah, loved ‘em English teachers of mine too! Big crush on my 2nd year HS English teach too (like ven!). Man, was she hot, or maybe it was just the 14-year-old hormones in me?! hehe…

et tu, t2rad? tsk tsk, there must be something about english teachers…
