I woke up early 3am but sleep in the sofa again for 30 minutes. I took a bath 4am and fix my things after i dressed up and left the house around 5:30am.
Call time is at 6am as to my bad habit and not "so" usual thing that happened i arrived at exactly 6:47am that made me realized what delay did i cause!!! I was the only student they're waiting for their departure. The time i stepped in the bus, we left 6:48am. I'm feeling really sorry for what happened, and I promise, I'll try not to do that again, or else I'll be left behind!
Stop over at Lapaz gasoline station for nature calling, 8:39am. I haven't ate anything since the time I woke up. So, I decided to go down the bus and buy something (Kirei, junk-food). Long trip means long sleep....... so cold in the bus! GRABE!
Arrived Nueva Ecija at 10:48pm
Epesa Elementary School.......
I was overwhelmed looking at those simples smiles welcoming us with drum and lyre accompaniment. Then, the speeches of both parties, after the rights and ceremony...we didn't waste time and start to partake responsibilities. Our group was disbanded because we're too many. I was in-charge to teach a grade 5 student. I met John Carlo, he's a quiet type of kid who's very obedient and shy. He's easy to get along with cause he knows how to answer me. We finish our paper works fast but smooth, so we can go out and play and take pictures with everyone :)
I got a chance to give him something, ice cream! john is very happy with an ice cream... After the bonding moments, John was lost out of my sight then found him at my side holding a letter, expressing his appreciation and thanking me for buying him an ice cream... i was very touched! that almost made me cry! I hugged him tight and Sir revil accused me of child abuse..haha! Pasalubong pipino- a form of their pasasalamat to us!
Time to go back to Manila 1:48pm
Movie time again... we watched A walk to remember, walang kamatayang One More Chance and i forgot the title of the last film. Stop over at Mega-Caltex, I bought Jollibee Spaghetti..hehe... then road trip again...Good thing, sir revil opened the t.v. and watch UAAP!!!!that i was waiting for! exit NLEX 4:25pm
Arrived at UST around 6pm.
A very tiring trip but fun and touchy.
Til'next trip... :)
The most important thing that I've learned during my trip to Epesa Elementary school, Nueva Ecija is to
thank God for all the blessings he have showered upon me. I should appreciate every single even little things
that God is giving me. Iám very blessed and lucky in my life that I must be contentented for me to be happy
because my student John Carlo showed me how to appreciate things that came in my way bad or good...
for all we know God knows best and theres a reason for evrything.
I now have a better view of how valuable education is, because its our key for our future and that's the only
thing we can treasure for a lifetime that no one or nobody could get from ourselves.
I appreciate all my groupmates and LTS mates since at first they patiently waited for me. IM VERY SORRY. Promise,
I'll try not be late anymore. For those who gave me food cause I have no baon.
We must extend a helping hand to anyone who needed it, without asking any in return.
I'll study harder and won't waste anything for something that's not needed, because I realized the difference
of the phrase Ï wanted to Ï needed". Think twice!
In this trip there are alot of moments to cherish, that I hope could last and follow onto next sem. :)
