year-end unforgettable moments with SRYCO

it's our last term this year. honestly, i was not able to do my best with sryco, especially during our fiesta celebration. but hopefully, before we finally leave our offices, we've done something fun and responsible this time. so, here are what we did last december 09.

CHRiSTMAS CAROLLiNG AT 69th iNFANTRY BATALLiON.

earlier this day, at around 1 pm, Kuya Joji, Rowena and i went to the detachment area of the 69th IB of AFP. Auntie Ayene suggested that we do christmas carolling to that place. well, just trying our luck. wait! the three of us were not carolling by that time! LOL. we just gave first our letter, asking for their permission regarding the Christmas carolling.

it was my very first time to be on that area. it's a bit steep. but when you reach the top, it's windy, full of trees, peaceful and so amazing! the sun's heat was scorching at that time and yet by the time we reach the top, the blows of the cold wind welcomed us and cooled our senses! see? if you have only been there you would have wished you live there. :D

enough for the wonders of the scene. we gave our letter. had little chit-chat with lt. santiago -- and he told me he graduated from UiC! ooh! just look how small the world is. the other guy also, i forgot his name, was a graduate of uic! so, i had pink-blooded brothers in the AFP. :D lt. santiago is such a nice person. he's the one who entertained us well. if you only knew how talkative he is! XD by the very end, we were allowed to have christmas carolling by 6pm.

the three of us then proceeded with our tasks -- kuya joji with the grocery and rowena and i with the prizes.

around 4:45pm, i already reached coog. i was so tired but a bit excited for the evening's christmas carolling. but how bad the timing is! we have just arrived from downtown and yet everyone was asking me where were the other youth when in fact i'd already instructed maybelyn capino to gather the youth, recruit for this evening's activity and if possible, have practice. but she never did her job well. i was so pissed off with her. Auntie Ayene already got mad. there was no youth around except us. worst was, they did not believe me when i say lt. santiago told me to be in their area by 6pm. she's always saying Auntie Ayene was telling her that we could no longer be allowed to enter the detachment area. blah. blah. blah. duh! as if there have been there for them not to believe me. i myself told Auntie Ayene that it's not 5pm that we were to go, but 6pm! with that, things were resolved. Maybelyn and the group went ahead. i was left, with the boys and Roselyn. good thing i was able to find boys and was able to ask them to accompany us. when we reached there, Maybelyn and the rest of the first group did their little practice.

it's good to be back up there. XD the military people welcomed us warmly. we did our parts very well. we sang christmas songs -- Filipino and Bisaya. we were even able to have a little chit chat with Col. de Mesa, the head of 69th IB. :D what an experience!

after singing, the group prepared food for us. Maybelyn was asked to sing. then later on, some of us danced and danced and had fun!

blah. blah with col. de Mesa and lt. santiago. after giving us the envelope of money (as if it's that big amount. but still, it's big enough for us), we all went home. and we ran! LOL. it was raining! :D

i hope to visit again their camp! swear, you would really want to stay there all your life if you have only seen the beauty of the place. :D

NEW YEAR'S PARTY && BEACH PARTY with SRYCO.


after having gone home from the 69th IB camp, i rested for a while. had talk with roselyn and rowena then went home and prepared for the mass. only ate janice and i went to attend the mass. the rest of my very good family stayed at home.

i was not able to sleep. i was so worried for the next day's activity. of course, it would be another long day for us. and if i would not sleep, that may also mean death. HAHA.

by 12 midnight, we were so noisy! as iin. i sang and sang and greeted everyone a happy new year! haha. that made me perspired a lot! :D

after that fun, i proceeded with my task - cutting letters for the back draft for the beach party. and since i was so damn tired, i took just a little nap to recharge.

and guess what?

i woke up by 4.35, to be exact! HAHA. good thing i was able to wake up! well, no one can blame me. pagod kea ako!

so it's january1. and all of us officers were so busy preparing for the beach party. phew!

it's almost 5 in the morning. and where were the other youth members? ??? don't have any idea. some still had their party out there. some were sleeping. and some, hah! they got lost somewhere else.

by 6am, the service from 69th IB did not come. well, they were so chuli. haha.

and it's almost 7am that we left our place. see how slowpoke the youths are? the assembly time is 5am and yet most of them came around 6am! SLOWPOKE X(

by the time we reached mervillas, there were only less people. most of us were so glad seeing less number of people there. hah! but just how funny it was! all the cottages were already booked and reserved! HAHA. soow unlucky for us! we reached there with nothing for us!

good thing there was still another resort with available cottages. so we went there. too bad we have to pay the entrance fee. and it was so unexpected. i myself did not expect it that to the point i did not bring any penny with me. LOL.

some complained. blah. blah. as if all of us expected this. and what? they wanted the org to shoulder all the expenses? hah! saan sila makakahanap ng outing na free na sasakyan, pati pa food and cottage tapos 35 pesos (+10 for the additional collection) lang ang babayaran nila? sineswerte din ang mga yun aa! as if naman madali lang pabayarin. sus! kelangan pa pilitin ng bonggang bongga!

and we settled peacefully. :D

by 9:30 we started our games. and as expected, some were so KJ. duh! di man lang marunong magparticipate. sila na nga binibigyan ng katuwaan, ayaw pa mag-participate! sus! kasarap talaga sapakin! and they even complained that the soundsystem we brought couldnt play audio cd! duh! as if i did not announce it earlier. but did they listen? NO, THEY DiD NOT! so, what i did? nag-announce baya ku ganiha bag-o ta nanghawa na dili na makaplay ug cd. ayaw mu pagreklamo dira kay in the first place wala jud baya mu naminaw and they shut up! hah! after all, my words were still powerful to make them shut up! =p

we played together. had fun together and we ate together.

i was not able to go swimming. it was soooow hot! it's as if i was being roasted! i slept a bit.

i salute rowena, roselyn, and ate mimi! they were not able to sleep, even a couple of minutes, and yet they were able to stand the whole day! waa. 24 hours of not sleeping! wooh!

and THANKS MUCH to JOJi GUARDAQUiBEL for being strong to stand almost 24 hours just for the preparation and for his strengths and efforst just to make this beach party a success. without kuya joji, that would mean slight death for my part. HAHA. but seriously, a BiG thanks for everything. :D

by 5pm, we got ourselves home. and during our travel, we had sooow much fun. laughing here and there. :))

i then slept and with that, my january1 experience was culminated (with myself asleep without taking a bath. LOL).


i hope before we leave our offices, we were able to give fun to our fellow youth. :D
