Yes, i thought this would happen again - a long silence after an event.
Looking back for the past months, starting from our first meeting last march 25 till today - i was asking what have we learned, what have we gained, our realizations. And i see a lot of things. But have we really asked ourselves the purpose of why do we do this things - the meetings, dinners, catch-up kwentuhan, texting and all those stuff. Being sentimental is a big part - for some, perhaps maybe for all of us. But have you ever really wondered why and what is that deeper purpose?
if you asked me this is my response. MRTC played a huge role of who i am and what i have become. More than economical status but rather, what have i become as a person remember that i was at MRTC during that transition period from teenager to young adult. Young adult even though i was still a teen since i've matured with all the knowledge i gathered from hanging out with all of you. I learned more about life, i was exposed to a lot of realities in life...
i could go on and on and on and on...but i would make a pause for others to contemplate and then share their thoughts...
but let this be clear though - we should stick together no matter what, we should continue our communications, we should continue what we have started....cause we'll never know when one would need someone else's HELP....that hopefully we'll all be there to hear out that person in need. As for me there is far more greater reasons than just hanging out and enjoying one anothers' company, enjoying the food and all, and sharing the laugh but rather the opportunity to give back not to our sponsors but rather give back to our GROUP - "The" ITOP Batch 1.
(despite that i was supposed to be doing my quarterly review and business plan...i have to get this thing out of my mind)
You're right jossel MRTC played a big role to all of us. In my case it's transfomed me from timid to approachable person and from self-centered to considerate one.
ReplyDeleteI apologized for not coming on July 16th. I was really decided to go abruptly my mother texted me to informed that my 2 year-old niece having a high fever and needed a medicine. When Meanne texted me asking for confirmation I did confirmed, that moment I was in the Drug Store buying a medicine, torned between to go home in Cabuyao, Laguna and to be with you. Came up a decision to go home first and come back (I was night shift that day so I have to go back in Makati to work) to be with you if time permits. As Meanne told me the traffic was so bad, I pushed to go home to bring the medicine and to check also my niece situation. When I was at home my mother got angry and told me why it took me so long to come home without even trying to asked what are the reasons beyond, I wanted to reply but refrain to. Rather went straight to my niece touched her and she was so hot, (by the way if you bother to ask where's the mother, she was in Korea working, the father cannot be found). To continue I'd self-medicate my niece and my mind keep on praying please fever subside - go away, thanks God it did after a few hours. When she was asleep I was in a hurry to go for work the time then was 11:00 p.m., was in the office at 1:00 a.m.
When mother scolding me --- ratatat-tat, I don't listened to her, that time I was thinking of you guys, maybe I was laughing and eating lavish buffet. If I did, what will happen to my niece if I did not came in the right time? Walang matanda dun sa bahay bukod sa nanay at sa akin. God so good.
Sorry for being so dramatic, but it's hard to say how much I valued all of you, when I'm not there to celebrate?. Well, my heart will always say it outloud and willing to listen, understand each of you mga kapatid.
