I went to the residential part of Serendra (ang entrance ba naman near the fancy restos!) to teach the basics of accessory-making to an interested housewife:
Just some of the tools and things I brought for this session:
Dining table converted into work station for just a few hours:
I've learned that my student, Tita Rina, lives in US and is just here for the holidays. They have this unit just for vacations and if a family from abroad needs a place to stay here in the Philippines! A relative referred her to me, a senior citizen daw na interested daw sa mga crafts and new hobbies. I was actually excited to go about this kasi madalas kong students ay the young ones (DLSU kids! Invite me uli sa LEAP niyo a!), and usually classroom set-up so madami sila (aka sore throat at the end of the day, hehe). Ang maganda sa ganito is tutok sa student, and very laidback lang ng setting so marami-rami rin kaming nagawa:
First project: Simple drop earrings:
Basic string bracelets with toggles. The point of this is to teach Tita Rina how to place the locks (ng matibay and neat) sa end ng nylon strings, na maaapply narin sa pag gawa ng necklaces:
And for our final project, of course hindi pwedeng di matuto ng wire accessories ang student ko! :)
I thought her how to make her own ring cap, and how to design a wired flower--which she can also apply in making brooches, necklaces, headbands, etc! :)
Tita Rina, happily modelling her pearl earrings! Yun talaga favorite nya, hihi!

After our lessons, she served me with merienda (bait) and toured me around Serendra. Malaki pala dun!
Playground for the kids:
First pool, baka tambay ako dito kung dito ako nakatira!
May golf course pa! Shoshal!
Second pool area: (dalawa dapat talaga ang pool??? :D luuurks!)
Tita Rina: Ay dun may mga malalaking isda na colorful!
Me: Edi palagi po kayo kumakain sa Conti's?
Tita Rina: Ay nung umpisa palagi jan! Pero eventually magsasawa ka din, iba parin pag magluluto ka.
With my student, Tita Rina! :)
I really enjoyed that afternoon! Sana I can make this "home service" (nyahaha) a regular thing, kasi enjoy siya talaga for me. Grade 1 dream ko talaga maging teacher, and although isang malaking fail ako last year with attempting to tutor kids ng math and English, I guess asa maling playing field lang ako non (hahaha, MATH ba naman!!!). There's more to learn in teaching accessory-making, pero at least for now I've found my niche! You think I can turn this into a part-time job? Haha!
