AFTER AWHILE

It has been four years ever since I last posted here. Its been a long while. I realize that I miss writing so much. It has allowed me to move from emotion to emotion. It has brought me to relief when I was alone. I have gone thru so much change. After four challenging years I am now in another position of question. I am trying hard to think about my purpose. I finished my MA with flying colors, transferred jobs, got married.... now I'm not sure why I feel empty inside. I love my husband so much, I love helping people but I'm not really sure why I feel so empty and pointless right now..... I hope I find the answers....

another trio

Well, perhaps I am one of those who enjoy being busy. This day was certainly one packed day. I was in La Salle Taft in the morning, at Sinagtala Elementary School in the afternoon and at the Bungad Social Hall in the evening. To top it all I’m still awake! Its already 2 am and I am in front of my computer typing this. Whew!

So, I got up this morning at about 5 am. I went to La Salle to give a workshop in the Annual PAPJA Convention. I went there with my friend Ira. She assisted me in my talk regarding photoblog therapy. I never thought that a lot of students from various colleges and Universities would be interested to attend my talk/. It was marvellous! My session lasted for 3 hours from 8 am – 11 am. Lunch was served for the facilitators but Ira and I still went to McDonalds to munch some ice cream even though we already had a sumptuous meal at DLSU. (whahahahah!!!! Takaw).

After lunch, I proceeded to Sinagtala Elemetary School and had my usual tutorial volunteer sessions with Pete, Carmelito and Rem. Rem came all the way from Tarlac and he just visited Manila to help us out teach the kids. Carmelito skipped his Math camp sessions with his students in Cabuyao Laguna. While Pete and I came from Quezon City. But of course! The afternoon session with the kids was really fun. Normally there are 6 to 7 volunteers every Saturday. But, today we had to manage everything though we lack manpower. It was challenging.

After my PROJ ABC volunteer work, I went to the Bungad Social Hall and attended the Lord’s day celebration. My groupmates and I weren’t able to prepare for our presentation for that evening days before the event. So we had to use the spare hour before everything started. Funny, we still won! Knock out!

ALL IN ONE DAY

I never thought it was possible. But it was. I was able to get thru three events today. It was really something.

In the morning, I had to attend to the PEERMA-KAKKAIKAPA interaction. It was fun seeing my club members interacting with the highschool people. According to Ms. Ren this was the first time a gathering of this type was held. At first, it was quite hard to prepare. But with the support of Ms. Ren and the help of Lafi the event was successful. I never thought my boys could really bond with Lafi’s student’s. It was really superb.

After the interaction in the morning, I had to go to Sinagtala Elementary School to do some volunteer teaching. This session was really unique! Well, who would ever thought my friend Lafi (moderator of KAIKKAPA) would teach at SES. He was really good with kids. He was able to make them laugh and entertain them with his wackiness! I bet my ASSET orgnates were also entertained with Laf’s crazy antics. Whahahahahah!!

To top my list is the 42^nd Anniversary Mass of the Days With The Lord. Grabeh!!!!! Karl, Shan, Pae, Ina and I had a roller coaster adventure on our way to Assumption chapel. So they picked me up at Frisco at around 4:30pm. It was a mixed of happenings, we got stuck in traffic, called by a police officer for an unknown violation, got lost and struggled to get to Auumption SanLo on time. But of course we got there and graced the event. Karl carried the UST cross. The event was superb! So after the mass people from ustdwtl dined at Giligan’s Greenbelt to bond.

It was really fun being three places ALL IN ONE DAY.
