RIYO'S DAILY JOURNEY OF LIFE

December 17, 2009

Huwaw! This is our first "official day" as practicumers sa Life Change. Magkahalong emosyon ang naramdaman ko ng araw na 'yon. Excited- dahil sa wakas this is it! magsisimula na ang bagong karanasan namin bilang isang ganap na nagsasanay sa larangan ng sikolohiya.At kasabay nito ang takot at kaba na mag-handle ng mga activity at group processes.

Dahil nga excited ako sa unang araw ng aming practicum. Hindi ako gaanong nakatulog. haha.. biro lang. Dumating ako sa Life Change ng 7:30 ng umaga. sapagkat maaga pa, nag-bonding muna kaming magka'kaybigan sa garden, sa may paborito naming tambayan. Nilalasap ang sariwang simoy ng hangin ng papalapit na pasko.Walang kamatayang kwentuhan at tsikahan pa habang nakatambay. hahaha.. Kinukondisyon ko ang puso at isip ko sa pagdating ni Sir Al. lagot ako sa kanya!

Oh here comes Sir Al. Gusto ko ng lamunin ng lupa sa kinatatayuan ko. I don't have enough courage to face him. I feel so bad that I disappoint him. I was not able to finish the task he assigned to me due to some inevitable circumstances. God has answered my earnest prayer and everything was settled down. Praise the Lord! He never leaves me nor forsaken me. Time to focus on the present… Let go of the past. baunin lang ang mga aral na natutunan.

8am na. oh xa xa- time to work na! :)

The first session in the morning is a worship service- an offertory for the Lord. Sir Al serves as the worhip leader at si Ptr. Paul ang naghatid ng mensahe from the Word of God. I was truly blessed with the singing of praise songs for the Lord. namnagha din ako kung gaano kaganda ang boses ni Sir Al. Truly, this man has blessed with so many spiritual gifts from God. Pastor Paul renders a timely message for the christmas season. He emphasized that the real essence of celebrating the christmas season is the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to redeemed us from our sins. Sapagkat ganun na lamang ang pagmamahal ng Diyos sa sanlibutan na ibinigay niya nag kanyang bugtong na anak na si Hesus upang ang sinumang manampalataya ay di mapahamak bagkus ay magkaron ng buhay na walang hanggan sa langit.

“I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.”

~Charles Dickens~

The rest of the day ay dine'vout namin sa paggawa ng christmas decoration sa session hall. Haha.. Lahat ng artistic inclination namin ay talagang na-challenge at napiga. Oh i hate it! biglang sumakit ang ngipin ko. It affects my whole system. Naging hindrance ang sakit ko upang di ako makatulong sa mga kasamahan ko with all my might. But still I love the way my friends care for me. i feel so loved by them. Masarap din pala magkasakit paminsan minsan (naks! ang cheezy).

Overall, maganda ang kinalabasan ng aming group effort. Sir Al really appreciates our crafts. And I can feel na lahat ay excited na for tomorrow's affair.

^oh im thrilled para sa party bukas.

xoxo,
R.I.Y.O

RIYO's Daily Journey of Life

December 23, 2009

Masaya ang practicum ko sa LCRC so far. Nabigla ako ng ma-on the spot facilitator ako sa activity na pinangalanan kong “Picture perfect”. Ang saya ng activity kasi nailabas ng mga residents ang kanilang “creative juices”. Mas lalo pang naging exciting ang game dahil may putting tabing sa gitna para di magsilipan ang dalawang grupo.
