There was no way we could fly together

I'm in an apologetic mood right now. Low energy. Low spirits. Low everything.
Allow me to take this opportunity to share with you some pointless prattle.


I'm sorry. For driving you away even when back then I've shown you like you were the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm not saying I want to turn the hands of time and go back to how things were. I'm pretty sure everything happens for a reason and we are better off where we are now.
I'm just...sorry.
I'm sorry. We drifted into two very different people. We didn't work that time because we didn't know how to dance around our differences.
We didn't work now because we've forgotten why we wanted to be together in the first place.I'm sorry. For leading you on. When you were getting there I didin't take the chance. When I was there you were already tired of it. I'm sorry that we're like parallel lines that we can't meet at a common point.

I thought I knew what I wanted. But when I was put on the stand, I faltered and realized I was making a mistake. I know the problem was all about beacause of me. What I did and what I did not. You can put all the blame on me.

I'm sorry I can't give you everything that you needed/wanted.
I'm sorry that it is just me.
You have great things in store for you. Putting me in the picture would only taint and compromise your bright future.I'm sorry. I wasn't enough for you that you get off. I'm even more sorry that you thought I cheated on you. You were already in mid-flight while my plane hasn't even taken off. There was no way we could fly together. You know who you are.... "I'm Sorry".

COPAR turned to a SURVIVOR adventure!





Last thursday was the first day of our COPAR exposure ( community Organizaing Participatory Action Research)at the Barangay Langub Davao City.

That gives us with 4 more weeks for the community exposure, since our exposure will last for more than a month or 5 weeks all in all.

Copar is a community development project conducted by students. We had to immerse ourselves in the community; that means living with the people in the community for a particular period of time so that you actually get to feel what life is like in that community; you see and experience its problems. So you get a better idea what interventions you can use to address those problems.


( at fist we're like just playing and enjoying the place)

So, what we had on the first day was we assessed the families in the area. Each of us have to interview families on the next day. Then next week we'll be organizing different activities. For example, health teachings, feeding, some games (to simply entertain the people there hehe), etc. After that we'll prioritize all the problems of the families and choose one problem which is the most important and/or urgent. Than that's it... We'll I will just be posting some updates about our exposure regularly coz I think it will be an exciting experience.... Like what had happened to us last Friday. When we were going out the community we loose our sense of direction. In other words " Nasaag mi". Rats! It took us for about two hours and a half roaming around the forest-like-area with muddy railways under the heat of the sun finding our way out. Shucks...


(lol! im sorry for using the word! it is just that mainit na ang ulo naming lahat having our situation! hehe..)






(until we found our way out! tnx GOD)
