Hi! I am Lester Galvez Cavestany.
First of all, I would like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy reading my posts, as much as I enjoy writing them.
I am the son of Emery and Cristy, and brother of Leddy and Lindsay Joy.
I am a teacher. My profile as a teacher is on the website of my school.
I am an aspiring writer. This is my weblog and it contains my thoughts and aspirations. Feel free to write your comments and engage me in conversation and/or arguments. I would love to hear from you. I may not always be able to respond directly to your comments but that’s only because my work as a teacher takes up a lot of my time. Please know that I appreciate each and every comment. I look forward to reading them.
Come join my circle of friends at
Friendster and Facebook
I’d also like to take this opportunity to share with you some of my reflections:
1. XYZ-Blog (Reflections of a Newbie Blogger)
2. Notes to Neo (In search of modern-day Filipino heroes)
3. Turning 30, Turning Point
4. h o m e s i c k (7 Reasons Why I Love the Philippines)
5. Why We Need To Be Depressed Sometimes
6. I Am Home
7. A Vanity Post (Welcome the Year of the Rat!)
Now it’s your turn! Tell me something about yourself.
Maraming salamat po!

Hi Ani, thanks for your kind words. Hope to read more of your posts in your blog.

PS.. Do you think you would have to update your book, Mga Pangulo ng Pilipinas, before 2010?
Thanks for constantly blogging. You are quite a writer. And I agree with you (on your Lozada comment) I, too, hope he has evidence stored in his pockets.

Lester,
I can’t open your “Website of my School”. All I see is UNIC sumtin’ sumtin. I’d like to find out where you teach and hopefully you can share me some stuff on how I could apply for a teaching position in the Philippines.

Hi Reynz,
I checked the link and it worked. Kindly try again and it should take you to the Elementary School Staff page. If it doesn’t work you can log-on directly to www.unishanoi.org and navigate your way to the staff profiles.
I’ll send you an email so we can talk more about teaching career opportunities.
Cheers,
Lester
Lester,
I’ve seen you in the blogosphere these past few months, your articles are by far one of the most well written that I’ve encountered these past few months.
I know you wrote recently about the plight of OFWs, this is why I was so impressed. Not because of your well written articles, but because of your passion.
I am currently inviting a group of Filipino political bloggers to collaborate on a blog. And you are on that short list of bloggers.
It’s an exciting time for us Filipino bloggers, we are growing, and I believe our voices are being heard.
This is a great way for each of us to make an even bigger dent than if we progress solely on our own steam. This is what blogging is about — making connections.
There are no requirements, you can post as much or as little as you like.
I hope you will oblige. I am inviting only a handful for the meantime, around 5-7 bloggers. I measure passion more than I measure anything else.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your kind words and for your invitation. And it’s an honor for me to join your team of select bloggers who believe that the pen is mightier than the sword and that we can make a difference by sharing our views online.
I will send you an email so I can get more details about your exciting weblog.
Best regards,
Lester
I saw your profile and learned that you taught in Singapore International School Jakarta. Can you give me feedback what it is like to teach in such school? Your reply will help me a lot in deciding…

HI Ley,
I have been a ‘lurker’ in your blog site for several months now; secretly ‘browsing through’ the series of interesting articles and highlights. How progressive they are; and your maturity with the pen has grown immensly.
Hat’s off to you; and wish you nothing but the best of times and more of life’s finest blessings.

Hi Regine, I’m sorry for the error. I was also a bit confused about Coach Spoelstra’s mom’s name. In palmbeachpost.com, an article said Erik Spoelstra is the son of Jon and Lisa. But then when I checked with Philippine news agencies, they said it’s Fe.
Thanks for clarifying the matter. And please extend my apologies to your relatives.
Sincerely,
Lester
