7:00 sa Rainbow Computer sa Pusod ng Philcoa
Book in Hand: Complete Idiot's Guide on How To Learn Spanish On Your Own
Song in Mind: Balik freshness, balik bounce, bounce! (if you know that song then you have been brainwashed just like me.... Aaaargh! stop it already!!!!)
FRIDAY!!!! MAH DAY!!!!
Okay, I don't mean to be so jologs, but I'm in Philcoa, so close to my Alma Mater and I can't help but reminisce about my college days --- back when anything goes. I really, absolutely thought I was so cowboy back then. Kasi nga Com Dev ang course ko, alternative learners kami, lakwatsa kami ng lakwatsa as a requirement in class. I'm kind of thankful for that training because now at least, kahit san mo ko itapon, I'll find a way to survive. But if I only knew how sosi I was back then, and what horrors I am yet to face in the communities I will be working with... I wouldn't have been so smug in my knowing I was "different".
I just came from a monitoring visit in Catmon, Malabon. In short, from the steaming mass of humanity subsisting in a place more suitable as a compost pit. We're trying to build a school building there, sponsored by a local telephone company. It's a heroic effort for the donor, because this place really needs all the help it can get. Ang daming problema with the construction. I was standing there this afternoon and I found myself thinking: What the fuck am I doing here? I am not interested in cement and blocks. I have no idea what the engineers are babbling about, all these problems they are presenting about soft soil and need for stronger tie-beams and reinforcement bars. I only have one interest in the project and that is to provide the kids with much needed classrooms. I didn't know it was such a messy business. I'll be soooo happy when this project is over. And I hope I don't get school building projects for a while.
On a happier note: I finally finished the Artificial Reef project proposal for a local chemical manufacturing company. (Ironic noh?) I went through so many refining fires for that proposal. I just console myself with the thought that when that project gets approved by the company's Pacific office in Singapore, pang-international na ang beauty ng project proposals ko. Pag hindi approved, well, at least now I know more about Artificial Reefs and Coastal Resource Management than I would ever care to know. :) Hehe.
Win-win situation, from my point of view.
Alright. My sis just texted me that she's on a jeepney going to Philcoa already. Sabay na kami uuwi. Kain muna kaya kami sa Jollibee?
Saya talaga ng Fridays. :) Sana kayo rin masaya.
