La Luz Outing i mean Outreach

Just came back from Batangas as usual pics to follow..

well the reason for going was the outreach.. however i dont think thats gonna be interesting to talk about.. the kids were as always makulit and magulo.. there were four hsbc volunteers in my team and 14 kids ranging from 5-7 years old siguro or maybe 8 not really sure.. they look really small for their ages kasi.. we had cheering contest, and painting tshirt, canvas and bayong contest.. unfortunately we didnt win any: (

anyway the fun started after.. hhe i know i know i like going to outreach but damn ive got o admit i love outings better: )


  • mostly we were just talking about our work, our teammates, tsismisan and kwentuhan and girl talks.. it was nice to be there sharing thoughts ranging from shallow things like who's gay who likes who TO religious stuff like prostestant compare to catholic TO astrology astronomy evolution.....
  • ate tons of stuff.. buffet kasi lagi so we were just eating and eating and then there are junkfoods pa...
  • star gazing.. during the night we watched the sky cleared up of the dark clouds to more than a hundred stars.. i have never experienced spending probably more than an hour gazing at the sky talking and thinking.. i was able to see 2 shooting stars..: )
  • freaky incident that a guy came up and "befriended" us. actually more like wanted to hit on one of us eh since kasama kami befirended us na lang din.. he was scary kasi he wont leave us alone.. we were too nice naman to leave him behind.. he's 31 and ateneo grade school and high school and lasalle college physical trainer and tour guide sa mga hiking.. goodness in less than half an hour nagkwento na siya ng buhay niya and yung mga hikes niya.. and made us feel like losers (dahil big deal samin yung outing na toh. meaning hindi normal sa min ang mag out of town.) it would have been interesting if he was not too nice.. freaked us girls out..
  • bonfire. my very first.. it was small lang and we were fast lang dun coz the guy was there waiting for us so we excused ourselves kaagad.. pero it was fun to burn marshmallow.. however i realize thaht i dont like marshmallow in normal temp, in cold temp (ice cream) and in hot temp (bonfired)
  • this morning we were supposed to go hiking with the guy however it rained : ( sad i really wanted to go hiking.. but we ended up sa beach nalang.. played volleyball snorkeling and "swimming" so two jumping small fishes : )
  • bestest thing is it's sponsored by the bank for just goinmg to the outreach : )

it felt like vacation tlga.. sadly tom. is another day of boring job

what has happened?

adrian from HK had came over during the halloween weekend.. kim and i decided to tour him in trinoma.. we went to watch rendition which was one of my all time never should have watched movie.. maybe a little better than the asterix movie we watched back then..

well im resigning and half my team knows it na.. im not sure whether to feel relieved excited scared sad but i know that i would always look back and smile at the memories.. feel sad for the lost friends.. feel relieved that its over.. and feel a lot of mixed emotions just as i've felt in college.. YEAH RIGHT hhe i guess im gonna feel sadder leaving HSBC than i was leaving my college life.. never really felt at home in college.. i was just there and not there at the same time..

im scared to be a bum again.. i wouldn't know what to do.. i really need to take something up... any suggestions?
