Community

Whew.. the 2nd semester was again over.. and i couldnt
imagine that ill be turning to new semester this june and
stand up to the next level - 3rd year. 2nd semester is
over and it only means that the community works and
whatsoever with regards to the community is over.
eventhough it is to be continued in 4th year, still i am
so happy that i/we survived community immersion in Los
Banos, doing all the surveys, tallying, making outputs
with all the revisions and doing all the activities to be
passed, collecting funds for our class, and ofcourse yell
and command all the members of the class to keep moving
and do whatever task needed to be done. doing this
activities for the community is really tasky however i
enjoyed a lot!

first, meeting place: 7-eleven buendiain going to Brgy. Mayondon Los Banos, Laguna, we have to
wake up early in the morning - 4am-4.30am and i think my
classmates wake up earlier than me. my mom was the one who
wakes me up and i think if i didnt tell her that i should
wake early, i would be late. and fortunately, within the
community activities, i dont have any tardy or late or
absences. and im so thankful for that. whenever i see the
7-eleven in buendia, i couldnt help but to remember those
times that we met at that place and leave at 5.30am to go
to the bus station - the Green Star Bus, a ride trip going
to Laguna, and specificallywe go down between Caltex and
the Olivarez Mall, and then we again move on to another
7-eleven stall to wait for Ms. Pingoy, and then leave at
8am to go to Brgy. Hall of Brgy. Mayondon.

Most unforgettable moments during the community immersion:

- nung last week of data gathering, in Purok 6. because of
that my groupmates call me "Joaqin Bordado" - nung time na
un hinahap ko yung mga groupmates ko ng bahay para
mapagsurveyan, and so we found a house with a swimming
pool so we decided na magsurvey dito kahit na walang tao
sa labas, maybe nasa loob so i said "tao po! tao poh!, tas
bigalang may bumulantang sa harap ko na aso (dalamatian
ata un) at biglang sabi ng "Hhhhraw!aw!aw1", so dahil dun
nagulat ako at biglang napaurong. and unfortunaltely i
lost balance, i dont know how to back off, i think ulo ko
ung una kong binack off kasi nasa harapan tlaga sia ng
mukha ko, bka sakmalin ung mukha ko so ung mukha ko ung
una ko inurong bago ung paa ko, kaya naman nalost of
balance ako. at dahil sa nawalan ng balance, tumambling
tambling ako sa sahig t nakita ng mga klasmyts ko.. grabe
tawang tawa sila.. tas pagdating namin sa brgy.hall,
kinuwento ni r.a ang mga pnagyayari sa buong klase kasama
sina mam pingoy and mam sipin, at ung ibang 3rd yr.
grabeh.. dyahe un!.. hehehe..

- umuwi ng gabi dahil sa tinatapos pa ang walang katpusang
revision ng final outpout.

- ung successful naming napresent kina mam ng community
profile namin, na makikita mung lahat ng members ng klase
ngparticipate at ginawa lahat ng mga inuutos sa kanila.
ung pagpresent ng paperpoint, ung mga tables sulat-kamay,
tulungan sa pagsusulat at batuhan ng mga analaysis during
the presentation.

- while doing many things, some will ask "pano ba toh
iaanalyse, pano ba tong ganyan?", na wala akong masagot
kasi di ko din alam at nasa ibang gawain naksentro ang
utak ko so sinsabi ko nalang, "look for books na
magssupport sa mga sinabi mo sa kung anong plagay mo anong
meron jan.." hehe, and i think di un masyadong nakatulong
sa kanila., pero dahil naman don, naging maayos ang
presentation namin!

- magovernyt? - d na un masyadong common sa akin.

- ah nung namiss ko ung first quiz namin for the finals sa
sts dahil sa pag-eedit. di ko na un masyadong dinbdib kasi
ayaw ko ng mkaramdam pa ng kung ano man sa sarili ko.

- maningil ng seedmoney..

- magcramming dahil sa dami ng mga dapat gawin.

because of this community immersion/activities, masasabi
kong nag-enjoy tlaga ko together with my BSN2-1 klasmyts,
dito nailabas nila kung ano talaga ako at naipakita ko
kung ano talaga ako. also, they made me feel comfortable
and my self-esteem increased because nafeel kong accept
nila ako at dahil don i have the confidence to speak in
class..

thank you for that! an i hope, i can also feel the
acceptance my new classmates this summer until i graduate.
hehehe..
