Medical Mission

     
      Three years ago, Across Ministry and GCI Mla. South conducted a medical mission for the residents of Binan, Laguna. By that time, I was the President of Student Council of our campus so that medical mission became my project as a President. I was just one of the usherettes that guides the patients where they must lead to after such and such. But this time, I'm no longer the usherette who just extend my arm and say "Dito po." I'm now one of those respectful counselors who hears out every word the patient has to say and share the love of God. I was hesitant at first to accept the job as a counselor but then as I got my butt on that monoblock chair, I knew I was made to do this. God used me as His instrument to share how awesome and magnificent He is. Every patient has their different interpretation of how they see God works in their lives, and I'm glad knowing that most of them accepted Him way way before. To those young people, who I counseled, who aren't that much aware of what God is to them, I gave them a special assignment, they have to think through and realize as they grow up what is God's role to their lives and when we meet again in another Medical Mission 3 to 5 years from now perhaps, they would tell me everything they thought of through the years. So there, my medical mission experience as a counselor has to come to and end. 'Till the next counseling.. Ciao! :)

Bubog

      Physical, mental and emotional wounds that never heal. These are wounds that will remain wounds forever. And as you age, it becomes deeper and stronger. It becomes part of your identity as a person like a scar in the cheek and birthmark in the ear. 
      Ang bubog sa buhay mo ang magsisilbing pilat na hinding hindi na mabubura ng kahit na ano pang sebo de macho. Magiging basehan na ng buhay mo ang bubog na iyong natamo. Maaring ito'y makakabuti o kaya nama'y tuluyang makasama habang tinatahak mo ang mundo ng buhay. Nakasalalay sa mga taong nasa paligid mo ang pagtrato mo sa mga bubog na ito. Marahil nakatamo ka ng bubog dahil nabulywan ka ng nanay mo sa kadahilanang hindi ka nakapaghugas ng pinggan o di kaya nama'y hindi pinansin ng iyong propesor ang pinagpuyatan mong nobela. Maraming pwedeng maging sanhi ng bubog, mapa-malaking bagay man ito o maliit na rason na nakapagpabago ng buhay mo. Habang binabasa mo ang lathalang ito, alam kong may nasa sa isip kan nang itinuturing mong bubog sa buhay mo. Natanong mo na ba sa sarili mo kung ano ang naidulot sa'yo nitong bubog na 'to? Sino at ano ang naging sanhi nito? Masasabi mo bang "Salamat sa bubog na 'to bla bla bla.." o baka naman "Lecheng bubog ka! Sinira mo ang bla bla bla.." Alin sa dalawang katagang ito ang nasabi mo? Bubog. Isang salita, milyun-milyon ang maaring mahita.

SEP'12

"Feels like the first time! Feels like the very first time!"
I've been a camper seven times already and still not getting tired of it. I started as a camper at the age of 11, I used to be that shy and tame camper that counselor would usually ask "Rachel, okay ka lang?" for I don't speak often. But in my 7th time, I'm somehow the 'Ate' that they look up to (I hope hehe). New activities were introduced this year: ultimate frisbee, trekking, acting class.
