anyways, the event was a two day formation program. we first watched a movie entitled Hero starring Jet li... lingaw ang movie... the essence of oneness with the universe and putting your heart into what you do were some of the insights that i gained after watching the movie. then, we had lunch ang sarap ng food, free pa talaga. then we had our first seminar, the social involvement mandate of a jesuit university. i was struck with what the speaker Dir. Eliab said... "Why hope? Why do all these things?" somehow i was puzzeled because i thought of myself doing all those things not really sure kung bakit ko ginagawa ko ang lahat. pero anyways, i was able to figure everything out... Thanks to her reflective and moving manner of speaking. then we had our seminar on Authentic Christian Humanism Given by Maam Arcena. She was a super lingaw na speaker... wala lang, i learned a lot from her and i really felt her conviction to service... she also had a very clear and firm stand that doing good things should be of utmost consiceration provided that the very reason of doing everything is to emulate the example of Christ into our lives... well naminaw jud ko diba... then we had our break kaon na pud... then, we were given time to prepare for the socials and ang theme chilgren's party. wahaha nagsuspenders ko na nagmukha kong buang... pero it was fun... after dressing up we had dinner... then, we waited for sometime then mga 7:30 gipablind fold mi sa mga senior vols... kulba na exciting... it weas some sort of an initiation na walang paddle... hehehe... then may mahiwagang tanong ang mga senior vols sa aming lahat and we have to answer it in an iniro way... as in pacornihay daw... hahaha. katawanan jud akong gihimo... secret nalang. anyways, after some time of waiting sa iabang vols nagstart narin atlast ang party... it really was a children's party... lingaw with all the ablloons, decoration etc...=D. then nagpresent kami ng mga wierd things as in sayaw with singing, breakdance etc. makatanggal price sya pero lingaw... we also had our competition... pagandahan daw ng sayaw and all... nalingaw ko sa among gihimo hay mura mi og mga bata... as in...=D then special awards were given, give aways were given tapos the night ended... sige lang mi og katawa for the rest of the night...=D. it was really soul enriching. then natulog mi sa f201 mga 12:00 na...=D
next day, naligo kami of course... =D alangan manatili kaming mabaho diba... hehehe. after doing our personal stuff we had our breakfast then we had our morning praise as well. then we had our seminars on Faith, Justice, Culture and Dialogue. lingaw sya... then we had another seminar on Volunteerism and Alternative lifestyle... daghan ko og natun-an especially on simplicity (living according to what we have) and solidarity (to be one with the community where you are immersed). and a lot more... basta insightful kaayo ang mga speaker... sana magawa ko yung mga tinuro nila. i hope and pray that i could become the person whom i ought to be... that i would be a full grown selfless volunteer. then we had lunch, kaon na pud...
then after having our lunch, we had the closing activity na super lingaw... we were asked kung ano natutunan namin, then the senior volunteers also said tyheir expectations and hopes for our batch... then Sir Osbry and the senior volunteers gave us our certificates and tokens para daw may remembrance kami sa aming orientation. then kumain na naman kami ng ice cream... =D. hahaha. well, basta enjoy siya na experience and i am looking forward to working with the office in its activities and programsd in the future...
