Thank You for Rubber Foam :o)

It's flexible, durable, colorful, inexpensive and lightweight. It also stimulates my creativity and relaxes my mind at the same time. Few people know about its great potential. Here are some of the items I've created with it so far:

Thanks to Yns and Neens for introducing me to this wondrous material :o)

Thank You for my Kind and Consenting Friends ;p

Last Saturday was truly an unforgettable day thanks to my friend Diane :o) From the CEMBO-PEMBO mix up, to searching for the elusive Southern Rice Retailers Cooperative, the confused drivers and barangay tanods, going back full circle in the Guadalupe station until finally arriving at Music Island...it was one heck of an adventure :o) I was laughing so hard the whole time! But everything that happened to both of us that day was all worth it :o)

Thanks so much to the accommodating PDI staff, thanks to the drivers, guards, tanods and by-standers who attempted to point us to the right direction, thanks to Chris for being such a good sport, but most of all, thanks Diane for willing to go through all that with me just to make me all giddy and happy :o) Sa susunod ulit. Hehehe :o)

Thank You for the Chance to Help

Two Saturdays ago our office sponsored a christmas party and gift giving at Hospicio de San Jose. The activity excited me very much, and it reminded me of the "area" days we had in ACLC back in college. We were divided into different groups and interacted with differently-abled children and elders. One group did games while another had a book reading session. Our group decided to have a dance lesson! :o) Joemel, my officemate, became dance instructor for the day. Though they had down syndrome, members of our group gamely followed us and Joemel. We were embarassed to find out that they were actually better dancers than us! Hahaha! Some even knew more complicated steps!

After the group sessions, it was time for the star of the program to come out --- Jollibee! :o) He had a dance showdown with Joemel and one of our participants, hehehe. He also made a special deaf boy very happy that day. It turned out he was celebrating his 10th birthday that day so he had an instant Jollibee party! We all sang happy birthday to him before he blew his candles. And even though he couldn't hear us, the ear-to-ear smile on his face show that somehow he did :o)

We had games, we had prizes, we had food and we had fun. The smiles on their faces and their gratitude for the time we spent with them made my heart swell with joy :o) Thanks to the children, elders and staff of Hospicio for welcoming us, thanks to the ERC for organizing this event, thanks to my officemates who shared this wonderful experience with me, and thank You, for reminding me again how lucky I am.

Mm
