January 21, 2016 (You Got the Talent)

Today, there is "You Got the Talent" show. Grade 9 and 10 students presented a dance and a choir. I was called as one of the Judge. It's cool how student's presented their different performance and show their talents. After that we had a small celebration, Ate Evelyn, Ate Juliza and Kuya Albert cooked spaghetti, pancit, fried chicken and sandwich. Well, haha.. I was just alarmed because they started drinking beers/liquors. They invited me but I told them that I don't drink liquor.  As of now while writing this journal, they are still singing outside with their guitar while drinking. It's a little bit hard being in this situation, they might think of me as someone snobbish or not friendly for not joining them. But I'm grateful that I'm able to show my beliefs also and set this impression to them because they are not familiar with "Mormon"/ "The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. I will always stand for what I know is right even if I stand alone.



If you mention UTAN(vegetable) here in San Miguel it has different meaning with them, here it means Dish (general term). Early this day, some students are staring at me. I ask them why and they said: they just want to imitate my smile. Due to computer scarcity, students here doesn't know how to use computers yet.

A Short Information of Brgy. San Miguel

San Miguel is one of the 53 baranggays of Las Navas in the Province of Northern Samar. Its population as determined by the 2015 Census was 1,514. This represented 3.99% of the total population of Las Navas. The Barangaay has already its own Elementary and Junior-Senior High School.  From Bobon, sometimes it takes me 2 hours or more than that in going to Las Navas depending on how many minutes do I need to wait until the Van will leave. But talking only about the travel, I think 2 hours.  From Las Navas to San Miguel it also depends. If it is Sunny, we can go there by riding Habal-Habal. If it's Raining too hard, we ride in a small motor boat. But if it's Rainy and sometimes Sunny, we have no choice but to walk in going there. Sometimes we can't go by motor boat because it cannot go there if the water is not high enough, habal-habal can't also travel because it's too muddy and it will just get buried in the mud. Habal Habal takes 45 minutes to 2 1/...

Today we travel in going home through boat and it takes us 6 hours. The rain was so strong that it makes us to get wet while we're in the boat. Then the time I arrived in Catubig, I traveled by myself for another 2 hours. It's really cold because I'm wet and the van has air con.  It's really cold and as I was traveling from Catarman to Bobon through tricycle, I got wet again. I quickly change when I arrived home.

March 30, 2016 (first moving up ceremony)

Image
Today is the moving-up ceremony of the students in San Miguel High School. I did a lot of things today that made me busy, like helping in preparing for the sandwich later this afternoon, help in organizing ribbons and medals because I was also assigned in preparing the program and I also practiced the students for their choir in "Lupang hinirang" and "Division Hymn."I did a lot of things today and I really enjoyed it.  I don't feel tired. Well, maybe just now. Hehe. Everything happens as expected. Everybody enjoyed the event. Our Guest speaker was Ms. Anjanette Pajantoy, an LLT graduate, who also graduated as Cum Laude. She's super nice and humble :) During the event, we eat bake mac, fruit salad, fried chicken and sandwich. I really enjoyed it. What a very nice event :)
