Feb-March Adventure 2013

The past two months has been quite an adventure for me. Bonding with old friends, leaving for Australia and then come back to the Philippines just in time for the GK Bayani Challenge 2013. It was quite challenging since I have limited access to the internet those days. So planned activities which involved internet access were postponed! Despite that, I learned to just cherish everything whatever holds before me like spending time with friends and families, facilitating kids, etc. I remind myself to look at the brighter side of life or as they say look at it in rose-colored glasses!

My days in Australia was purely spent with my brother and his family and of course my niece except for some occasions where we met up with some friends and join parties. Though, it was short-lived but I look forward this year to go back there and spend more time with my niece with God's grace.

When I got back, I was surprised to be asked to head the Paraisong Pambata program for the GK Bayani Challenge in San Remigio. It was nerve-wracking since I haven't served the kids much for almost 5 years already. Somehow, we pulled it off with the help of the service team and volunteers of course! Seeing the kids so happy that volunteers cared to spend time with them for 4 days and easily call out your name once they see keeps me smiling from ear to ear. It is indeed an adventure worth remembering and I know that my summer escapade is just about to start!

Cheers! :-)
