After ng "free-style" activities nung holiday season, we were back sa pagkakaroon ng theme per week. This week, ang theme ay "Creating Authentic and Caring Relationship". Ito ang first time namen to experience handle activities with theme.

Before kame pumasok sa hall, nagkaroon muna ng discussion regarding what activities na ipapagawa namen sa mga residents.Nag-suggest si Sir ng pwedeng activity with an objective na maging "authentic" yung mga residents.

Ako, si Nadz and Rio ang naging co-facilitator ni sir.Kami yung humawak ng smaller group discussion.Simple lang naman yung task ng residents.Bubunot lang sila ng topic tapos as much as possible, dapat makapag-share sila ng truth about dun.

Sa group na na-handle ko, may resident na open pag-usapan yung topic na nabunot nya then nag-share din sya ng insight nya. Meron naman sa kanila na nagsabi na wala daw syang experience regarding dun sa topic na nabunot nya.Maybe she was just not comfortable discussing it with someone like me.Nirespeto ko naman yun kasi baka lalong magkaroon sya ng resistance sa pag-share. Meron din naman na parang wala lang.Hindi ko naramdaman yung effort nya na mag-share at magbigay ng insight.

After ng small group discussion, we formed into one big group. Tapos, katulad ng nangyari sa small group sharing, bumunot ulit ng topic yung mga resident.Ngayon nga lang, kelangan ka mag-share sa mas malaking group.Pati kami ni Rio sumali.

Actually, yung na-share ko nung time na yon is first time kong nakwento.I felt good after.

Since kami nila Rio and Nadz yung nagFacilitate nung morning, admin work naman kame nung hapon.Si Rio naging "fax lady". Kami ni Nadz andun sa likod gumagawa ng inventory.Nung time na for afternoon session, andun pa din kami ni nadz sa likod.Naiinggit na nga kami kasi naririnig namin na nageenjoy sila sa loob tapos kami ni Nadz kasama ang napakaraming papel,kalat at glitters sa likod.

That was a tiring day pero fulfilled kasi naayos namin ni nadz yung art cabinet.And nabalitaan ko na ang galing mag-facilitate ni Daisy.Sayang hindi ko nasaksihan..
Congrats Daisy!
