Tapos na yung hours ko pero it seems that parte na ng sistema ko itong pagpasok sa LCRC. Moreover, it is a Thursday! Worship service ulit with Pastor Paul. 

Very meaningful yung naging sermon ni pastor paul:

• Origin: Who you are  
• Destination: A vision of who you want to be  
• Vehicle: Your Mission  
• Travel Bag: Your knowledge, skills, and attitude  
• Landmarks and Route: S.M.A.R.T. Goals  
• Anticipate Turns, Detours, and Potholes

 

I know na magiging helpful yung mga sinabi ni pastor paul sa pag-araw araw na pamumuhay hindi lamang ng mga residents kundi pati naming practicumers.

Ang cute ng pinanood naming movie. Alvin and the chipmunks. I know that na-enjoy ng mga residents ang movie as much as we did. 

Actually parang gusto nilang panoorin yung alvin and the chipmunks 1 sa susunod :)

This was my official last day ng OJT. 300+ hours na ako. :)

Hindi kami nakasama sa aerobics session ng mga residents kasi we must prepare an activity for the afternoon session since Ms. Faye wouldn't be coming anymore.

Game of Life ang tawag sa activity namin. And the feedback was overwhelming. Nagustuhan ng mga residents pati ni sir yung game. Life size na game board yung game of life. Everyone enjoyed it, including us. there is a part in the game where they were stucked in one point and they just keep on returning on that same spot. Then there was a time in round 2 where all of them, as in all of them returned to the starting point. good thing they were sports enough to play again until someone won.

During the processing, I was happy because there were no more negative reactions like "BORING" anymore from anyone of them. Moreover, I was happy because they shared their ideas, realizations and insights willingly. I believe that they learned the real essence of life mapping.

Balik to regular program this week. Life Mapping. Me and Bethel were assigned to be the leaders for the week. For the morning session, okey naman yung response nila sa icebreaker though may parang naaasar sa groupmates niya. Sa main activity which I facilitated, mas naging cool na ako sa pag-process though andun padin yung madaming kaba. Yun nga lang sa unang tanong ko palang na " How did you find the activity?" may sumagot na "Boring" though nakangiti sya. Hindi naman ako na-offend kasi parang medyo "boring" nga yung activity. Masaya naman ako dahil responsive sila and they got to share their ideas. Mas aware na din ako this time sa mga why questions ko. Thrice lang ata ako nakapagtanong ng ganun. And everytime nagtanong ako ng ganun, napapatingin ako kay sir. :) Masaya ako sa improvement ko na 2-3 why questions lang yung naitanong ko (YES!)

Nung afternoon, mas masaya na game yung pinagawa sa kanila. We tried it ourselves. i can say na nag-enjoy naman yung mga residents sa activituy. After ng session, meeting ulit with pour supervisor. Even there is a lot more improvement, i can say that I facilitated better this time. :)

at last dumating na ang araw na pinakaaantay ng lahat!!! Feel na feel talaga ang fairytale-ness ng program ngayon, syempre dahil sa castle, tsaka syempre sa costumes ng lahat. 

When the characters were introduced one by one, and posed in front, it is clearly seen that everyone is enjoying. All the presentation went well. (Pero yung sa amin parang hindi masyadong smooth..hahah) Yung effort ng mga residents sa pagpapractice ay talagang well paid off. Sa closing activity, it took time before makumpleto nila yung puzzle na heart pero, at the same time, it was both meaningful and insightful. I may be able to tell every detail of it, I can say that the party was a success. :))

After ng party with the residents, party with staff and students naman. Send-off na din kasi ng mga taga-UE. Libreng videoke + madaming food + picture picture = fun, fun, fun!!!

Nakakapagod yung gabing yun pero super saya. I am looking forward for another great program like this. :))

HAPPY VALENTINES!

Marami pang kailangang gawin kaya nag-delegate nalang kami kung sino-sino ang gagawa ng iba't-ibang task. Sayang, hindi nanaman ako naka-attend ng worship service. Birthday nga pala ngayonni Ms. Mona kaya gumawa kami ng banner for her. :)

Dapat afternoon ma-set-up na yung castle kaya naman ginawa na namin all the necessary repairs na dapat gawin. Pati narin yung mga additional designs. Nag-icecream nga din pala kami para kahit papaano ay mapawi ang aming pagod :) Yum Yum. May libreng softrinks din pala from sir. :) (tink yu tink yu)

Bandang 5pm, ready for set-up na castle. syempre lahat nagbigay ng effort doon kaya naman everyone is happy ng tuluyan ng maikabit yun with the help of one of the attendants. :)

Alam ko na paid-off lahat ng pagod at effort ng bawat isa sa kinalabasan ng castle. 

 

Yippeee! bukas na ang party!

2 days nalang valentines party na!!!! Focused ang lahat sa castle. Buti nga nakisama ang panahon. Kasi when I was on my way to LCRC, umuulan. Sabi ko sa sarili ko "Bakit ngayon pa??? Please please wag ngayon. Pano matutuyo ang pintura?" From time to time, nag-uusap kami about sa costumes namin. Excited na talaga ang lahat. However, it was sad because two of the residents were discharged. We thought of another energetic, cheerful and pa-bibbo resident left the group.

Tomorrow na ang deadline sa pag-setup ng castle. I firmly believe that we can do it! After lunch, we started painting our castle. It was hard (maliit na paint brush lang gamit namin), it was messy (natapunan yung pants kooo!!!), it was toxic (ang baho kaya ng pintura). However, it was fun. This was my second day na hindi nakapasok sa session hall dahil sa castle. Hindi tuloy ako nakakapag-interact ngayon sa mga residents. Inisip ko nalang na para din naman sa kanila yung castle. Hindi na din tuloy ako nakatulong sa dance rehearsals. Hahah, okey na din yun, at least, nalinan nila daisy at dana yung performer side nila. :)

Malapit na ang Friday, marami pang kailangang asikasuhin, pero, kaya yan!!!

February 8, 2010: LOve week na! (It is always about you)

It is located at #105 Scout Rallos Street, Brgy. Sacred Heart, Kamuning, Quezon City.

Eto na ang pinakahihintay namin na week. And Daisy's in-charged. Sabi nga ni sir eh sa aming lahat sya ang pinaka-credible.:) Fairytale ang concept for the program. So, we shared ideas for the design. Syempre gusto namin na ma-feel talaga na pang- fairytale ang ambiance. We decided na gumawa ng castle as our backdrop. I know na m edyo mahirap pero gusto talaga naming i-pursue yung design kasi ayaw namin ng "pwede na".

As soon as the design was approved, we started the "week-long" project. At dahil sa paggawa ng castle, hindi ako nakapasok sa session hall.

This afternoon, we had with us Peter presenting a topic under psychoanalysis, recognizing and understanding anxiety. Nung sinabihan kami na kailangan naming umattend ng discussion ni Peter, at first ayoko sana pumunta kasi nga gusto ko i-work out yung castle. Eh kaso required kaming lahat. Wala akong nagawa.

Before sya nag-start, nakipag-chit chat muna kami kay Peter and sa friend nya. During his presentation, surprisingly enough, nakikinig ako sa sinasabi nya. I thought mabobore ako ng bongga. Pero yung ibang kasama ko inaantok na (tulog na yung iba). May ibang parts lang na hindi/mahirap intindihin because of the language barrier. Napag-isip din kami na sa school kaya nila ay ganon talaga magreport? Parang super boring naman, sa isip isip namin. I'm glad that I gained insights from Peter's discussion. Balik paggawa kami ng castle. Kulang kami sa gamit kaya hindi namin magawa kaagad yung castle. While some of us were working sa castle, may iba naman na nasa loob ng session hall at pinapractice yung mga resident para sa presentation ila sa friday.

After ng rehearsals and backdrop making for the day, we had our meeting with our supervisor. And this one became a difficult conversation for us. Bengga. nasabi namin kung ano na yung nararamdaman namin tungkol sa maramiong bagay. Hindi ko na iisa-isahin. I may not remember exactly everything that we talked about, I will remember though the insights and what i felt after the meeting - that with all of our decisions and its consequences, we should own it and reflect on it; bottling feelings will never do anything good because it will make you bitter. And everything you are doing always say something about you - It is always about you.
