Salut tout le monde! This is Rege on blogspot.com, making me first blog. I've been posting blogs for more than a year now and I felt the need of another blog with the same title on another webpage. This blog consists of everyday events I, the people around me and the Philippines experience. All of these events as a whole is called reality. The basis of this blog's title is my personal quote: "Life is the fastest and the biggest reality show on earth, wherein all of us are contestants..." Yes it is true. This blog is formatted to reality shows. Therefore, terms like Roadblock, Destination, Routemarker, Route Info, Reward Challenge, Hall Pass and such appear in this blog. These are metaphors I use. To all non-Filipinos out there, I make it a point to put FYI: for your convenience. I'm proud to be a Filipino. Enjoy!
Now here's what happened today, the 13th day of February, 2008.
DAY 13, 2008: HEROES: Ordinary People with an Extraordinary Calling
ROADBLOCK: Asthma Attacks
I woke up early this morning having asthma attacks. As a result, I wasn't able to go to school. I'm missing a lot now. I ate brunch as I woke up at around 10 am. I still have an appointment later
at 12 noon.
DESTINATION: JIVE Youth Center
I got dressed immediately and went to JIVE Youth Center. I'll be meeting Kuya Jeff here.
FYI: (Kuya is brother in the Filipino Language.) He's the founder of JIVE Youth Center and the Director of Breaking Point Foundation-Philippines. Kuya Ric arrived and we went to the carpark. Kristine, then arrived.
STOP-OVER: University of Makati
We rode Kuya Jeff's car and we went to the University of Makati to photocopy some forms to be filled in later on.
DESTINATION: General Pio del Pilar National High School
We later went to General Pio del Pilar National High School (GPDPNHS). We will be promoting this year's Summer Youth Camp by Camp Kabataan. FYI: (Kabataan is youth in English.)
REWARD CHALLENGE: Camp Promotion
Upon arrival at GPDPNHS, we were welcomed by Mr. Tabora, the school's Supreme Student Government's Adviser. We then waited inside the school's library. After a couple of minutes, we were told to go to the school's quadrangle stage to set up our booth. We set the tarpaulins up on the walls and around the table, and the parent's consent forms on the table. When all is set, Kuya Ric and Kristine went to classrooms to promote the camp.
Camp Kabataan's Summer Youth Camp 2008's theme, (you've guessed it!) is HEROES: Ordinary People with an Extraordinary Calling. It will be held at O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac on April 15-18, 2008. The historical O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac was the finish line (if you want to put it that way) or station of World War II's Death March. The camp fee is 400 pesos or equivalent to roughly 11 US dollars. It includes the transportation via an air-conditioned bus, back and forth (Makati City to Capas, Tarlac), meals from Tuesday night (April 15) to Friday morning (April 18), bed accommodations from Tuesday to Friday (We use dormitories not tents and sleeping bags), training materials and accident insurance. The original fee for this camp is 1630 pesos per camper or roughly 45 dollars, but because of our national and international sponsors, we were able to lower the amount.
I'm this last year and this year's Assistant Sports Director of the camp whereas Pastor Jeff (Yes, he's a pastor.) is this year's Camp Director.
We met Maxine, GPDPNHS's Student Council President to assist us in the camp promotion. Maxine attended last year's Youth Camp with the theme GENXT: (Generation Next) Your Choice, Your Future.
After 4 hours of camp promotion, we decided to pack up. We went home later.
PITSTOP: Home
I went home immediately. Still have to finish some paperworks. Ciao!
