At 7:00 in the morning, some of my classmates prepared for a breakfast, others were taking a bath and others were fixing their beds. At 8:00 am, we rode in the jeepney and proceed to our main destination which was related to our topic. We visited also the different communities and then we studied the way of their living. I, Tin, Mira and Jayly went in Buyabod, the adjoined place of Matalaba. We interviewed their Captain. We visited their port and some interviewed. We had interviewed also and had recorded the “Making of BURI ROPE’’, the steps, materials needed and the uses of this product.

After that we went back to the school. And there we waited for the others. While waiting, we played scrabble to kill the boredom that we felt. I won the game (gathered the highest point). Then, at 7:00 in the evening we were all gathered because there were activities. Mr. Davy Famiano was the speaker for that evening. I could say that it was similar to a “Retreat or Recollection” because the program intended to awaken the student and face the reality in our society. The program started with a solemn prayer, and many activities were taken which the objectives were to enhance the ability in different areas like in listening, following the instruction, creativity, interaction and communication. The activities were so fun. From that I learned something new for me, and it made me feel that I was a student who had role in our society. And since we were the graduating student, we served us for them as their guide and the older sisters and brother s. we captured many memories in the said activity. But our happiness stopped when the current was turned off. All the surroundings turned dimmed and darkened.

This was the day of our departure. Everybody woke up early and fixed their things out. Then, we waited the other students who visited the remaining communities. At 10:00 in the morning the jeepney arrived. Everybody was ready to go inside the jeepney. But before we arrived we took some pictures, all the participants were gathered. And there were some reminders and briefing for the activities that we took and short prayer for our safety.

            We reached the Boac Town at exactly 11:00 in the morning. Then, everybody went home.
