GIFTS OF GOOD TASTE

Frieda Colet Lim, HS Class 1969

Filipino Christmas will soon be here and the excitement for the season increases as we enter the ‘ber’ months. Though it’s a holiday celebrated in all corners of the world, some traditions are uniquely Filipino. The Simbang Gabi, the Noche Buena, Kris Kringle, and of course the ever so long Christmas gift list!

While this may seem daunting, it has been part of the hospitable generous heart of the Filipinos. Edible gifts are always a favorite. Everyone appreciates a homemade gift that can simply be prepared and eaten. Whether it is store bought or thoughtfully prepared by you, one can’t go wrong with them. They are perfect for everything from hostess gifts, to gift for the in laws, to gifts for your best friends. With some creativity and care, any present can be made a beautiful offering using inexpensive materials.

My homemade bottled Pomodoro Sauce is a very convenient gift I give to a friend’s birthday, my dinner host, or a family for Christmas. You can also do this with store bought bottled goodies for convenience. I simply cover the cap with a wrapping paper or a printed paper napkin tied with a red string. I print out the label and sketched a red tomato for color. Sometimes, I add a recipe on the many ways to use the sauce.

Brown Paper Packages tied up with string! This is one of the biggest wrapping trends of recent years. I wrap most of my gifts in brown paper and choose a different way to decorate them every time. I wrapped a Dried Bacalao gift in the brown paper with a sketch of a fish then tied it with simple red string. I also like using white paper for food and then finishing it off with cellophane. The fresh twigs of oregano from the garden serves as my trim and my stamped gift card. The possibilities for prettying up a brown or white paper package are nearly endless.

You can bottle your Cheese Pimiento Spread and give it with toasts in some interesting shapes. Bake your favorite Banana Cake and give it with the baking pan that your friend can keep.

For not much money and very little time, you can whip up edible gifts guaranteed to wow. Whether it’s home made or store bought, edible food all dressed up in pretty packaging are certain to fill hearts (and stomachs) with cheer. I hope these simple ideas will serve as a springboard for your creative Gifts of Good Taste this Christmas.

Typhoon Yolanda – considered among theworld’sstrongest typhoons,hitTacloban,Leyte inNovember2013.Yolanda’sfuryresultedinagreatnumber of casual)es, missing locals, massivedestruc)onofproper)es,totalpoweroutage,etc.

That same week, I was tasked by PAL to takedeliveryof abrandnewA321aircra^, fresh fromtheAirbusmanufacturingfacilityatFinkenwerder,Hamburg,Germany. I startedmytrip toHamburgfromManilaonboardKLMwithstopsinTaipeiandAmsterdam.

TVmonitorsinairporthallwaysandpre-departureareas showed the Tacloban situa)on and theextent of the disaster. Requests for dona)onswerebroadcast round-the-clock.ThewholeworldwasfocusedonTacloban.

Onmy first day in Hamburg, the PAL head officesent instruc)ons to assist 10 German volunteermedics with loads ofmedical supplies and reliefgoods. Addi)onally, Airbus asked permission toloadboxesofdrygoodsinthecabinoverheadbinssincetheaircra^’scargocompartmentwas fullofmedicalsupplies&equipment.

And so it was arranged. The usual 10-man aircra^delivery ferry flight team was doubled with theinclusion of the 10 Germanmedics. The group fromHumedica Interna)onale was headed by WolfgangGross,thetallwhitebeardedExecu)veDirector.Theywouldbemet inManila by representa)ves from theGerman embassy prior to their onward flight toTaclobantoconductamuchneededmedicalmission.

Epilogue: A few days a^er arrival, the GermanEmbassy asked PAL’s assistance to accommodateWolfgang Gross’s flight out of Tacloban and back toManilaandthattheGermanEmbassywilltakecareofMr.Gross’sonwardflighttoMunich,Germany.

The reason: Mr. Wolfgang Gross was scheduled toreceiveGermany’sPresiden)alAward.

ThePALA321ferryflightofNovember2013hadaVIPonboard and itwas aprivilege tohavebeenon thatsameflight.

I have joined many aircra^ delivery ferry flights butthis ferry flight ofNovember 2013was very even{uland very fulfilling for me, having had the chance tosomehowbeapartof thehumanitarianmissionthatwassentofffromGermanytoTacloban.

WETEACH“Why do smart people enjoy saying they are bad at math?” laments Petra Bonfert-Taylor, a professor of

engineering at Dartmouth College. After seeing too many adults “passing on math

anxiety like a virus,” she has this to say: “We are passing on the phobia for mathematics... as a result, many have lost the ability to examine a real-world problem, translate it into numbers, solve the problem and interpret the solution.”

“What is required isperseverance,awillingnesstotakerisksandfeelingsafetomakemistakes.”

As Ireflectonmylifenowadays, IfeelgratefulthatGodhasgivenmethegi^andvoca)onofteaching.

It’s almost unbelievable that I havebeen teaching formore than 50 yearsnow. I started teaching in 1964 at theCollegeoftheHolySpirit,TarlacwhereI taught for nearly 30 years and later,since1989,IhavebeenteachingattheOur Lady of Peace College Seminary,ourdiocesanseminaryhereinTarlac.

IthankCHSMforgivingmemydegreesAB-BSE in 1963 and 1964, major inHistory and Biology, minor in EnglishandMathema)cs.IalsothanktheHolySpirit forguidingandsustainingmealltheseyearsinmyteachingcareer.

Ihavetaughtvarious subjectsbutinthe seminary I have been teachingEnglish subjects. Teaching in theseminary is volunteer work, whichmeans that we are not givenmonetary compensa)on. Yet Godcannot be outdone in generosity. Icon)nually experience His DivineProvidence, bestowing on us manybenefits and favors. He provides forall theneedsofmy family. It is alsoheartwarming to know that I havebeenpart of the forma)onofmanypriestsinourdiocese.

I thankGod for this life)meworkofteaching. It is a greatblessingandaprivilege. As I become a blessing toothers,Iamalsoblessed.

AB-63/BSE-64If I am s)ll in the field of Educa)on while myclassmates and group mates from CHS have longre)red, I owe it to my innate passion for teachingandthepeoplewhosephilosophieshaveformedme–Dr. IsabelHizonofCHSandDr. JosefinaCortesoftheUPGraduateSchool,CollegeofEduca)on.Theytaught me commitment in my profession, genuineinterestandpersonalconcernformystudents.

I have handled Educa)on students whose socio-economic statuswere extremes – the very affluentandthemarginalizedsectorsofsociety;the“Haves”and the “Have nots”, so to say. Nevertheless, theircommon denominator is they are lovable and theirdesiretobeTEACHERS!

Several years ago, a^er a long stay in an exclusiveprivate school and a university as dean oradministrator, the Lord led me to teach in theundergraduatedepartmentofastateuniversity.

Thestudentsarealmostallscholarsbecauseofthevery low tui)on fees. I handled three Sophomoreclasses taking Educa)on, Major in ElementaryEduca)on,GeneralScienceandMusicEduca)on.Itaught theman interes)ngbutdreaded subject –Theories of Learning. The common method ofteaching in almost all the classes was the use ofpowerpoint presenta)on in repor)ng.

FromGradeOne,orderamongsquigglyliflegirlswasinstalledbySr.Carencia:“Howwouldyouliketoseetheworldfrominsidethatwastebasket?”

But love was always the basis for discipline. Webreathed a certain gentleness and gladness in theclassrooms, along the stairs and corridors of ourbuilding with stained glass windows. Kindness wasnatural. A^er class, our Grade Three teacher,MissNoemi Xavier, sat on the steps and waited withanxious lifle girls for their “sundo”.
