My RTD Experience!

When Ma'am Maggie told me I'd lead the pack, I was quite surprised. Although I am used to lead the group but the idea of having to prepare a Round Table Discussion with prominent heads of the Philippine LGU's, staff of the House of Representatives, Manila based Media, politicians and students from different universities in Manila is quite nerve-wracking. Being a probinsyana, this was an insurmountable mountain to conquer. Sleepless nights, minute disagreements and conflict of ideas with my fellow members from the Congressional Internship Program for Young Mindanao Leaders was not a joke at all. I knew this was coming but things were successful in the end. Thank God for supportive group mates, HREP advisers, mentors as well as the love and inspiration radiated to me by my family, friends and that special someone back in Iligan City.

Hmn.. this is my team. Our overnight sessions, eatings and kagagohan and just about everything that adds up spice in our CIPYML journey! I'll be missing these people, my a.k.a. COAL PEEPS! ;)

Iced Gems!

Found this foodie. Been a long time since I've gotten hold of this. I think I the last time I had a taste of this was during pre-school days. The package & sweetness hasn't changed at all. Hurrah for iced gems! Love 'em! Quite tired during the State of the Nation Address at HREP kanina so I'ma gonna devour the sweetness for now & will jog later. Since I am a good girl, I'ma share some sweets with one of my sweetest soro sis, Zamia! Hehe.. ♥ :)

 

When I first met HREP

My first stroll at Philippines House of Representatives. Met a few known personalities in Philippine politics and had a conversation with new faces such as the alumni of CIPYML. It was a long, tiring but enlightening day at HREP. More tasks to be done for tomorrow and lots of things to learn. Aja! :)
