The Sweet Escape

The trip to CS Garments last December 4 was an experience for me. Aside from having fun with my classmates, I finally felt what it’s like to be a worker for one of the world’s finest garment factories. Supposedly I am to work at the sewing group but for some reasons Ms. G couldn’t fathom, I was transferred to the fusing group.

The adrenaline was in the air when III-3 and III-4 arrived there. Aside from working with girls from III-4 (I’m in III-3), we got to live the life of a garment worker. After lots of instructions from one of the heads, the five of us began to fuse a bundle of lab gowns. At first I thought it was difficult but while working, I learned it wasn’t so complicated. To culminate the activity, I became III-3’s representative to share my experiences. Some of the pics are posted on Facebook thanks to the girls who brought their cameras that day. We left the place at 11:30 AM and on the bus we got to watch some bloody Stone Cold movie. When we arrived at STC at around 1:30 PM, we practiced for last Tuesday’s Songfest.

Mom and Tita Badette got to watch the event. My classmates prayed so hard for us to win the Songfest, may it be the champion or the runner-up. Have you heard of St. Rita of Cascia, the “Saint of the Impossible”? We prayed to her because she was the patroness of impossibility. All the hard work has paid off - we got the runner-up. At the end of the Songfest, the three of us ate in McDo Retiro. And the day ends there.

I posted on Twitter a few hours ago about me making wallpapers. I already made one for Christmas and I’m planning to do some more. It’s six days before Christmas break! I just hope I could survive the last Hell Week of 2009. :)

Update update update.

I deleted last Friday’s post. I decided that it’s not appropriate to do that.

Anyways, today’s the end of our “typhoon sembreak”. Tomorrow I’ll be going back to school and will be seeing all of my friends and classmates. The consequence? No more sembreak. Now we all have to go back to school after Family Day weekend. Not enough time to rest during Halloween and All Saints / Souls Day.

I haven’t shared about our PALIHAN on the day Ondoy came. It was fun to teach the kids all about environment. Lots of pictures and free time since we arrived an hour before lunchtime. Bee Movie was entertaining to watch, compared to Ant Bully (which I fell asleep on during a previous PALIHAN session). However, I didn’t feel like it that day since I had so many problems in mind. No joke.

The bright side of my “sembreak”? I and Mom got to watch Yaya and Angelina’s movie last Tuesday. AND IT WAS HILARIOUS! I really laughed out during the part where Angelina called “her” principal as “Prince-epal”. The scene where Yaya tried to save the fish by doing a mouth-to-mouth routine after the fish choked a ball was totally funny. It was ironic to see that by the time the fish bounced back to life, it was killed immediately through a falling lampshade. Result? Yaya was fired.

I just can’t wait to go back to school!
