Hello December as November fades out in the background!

December 1, 2008

This morning when I woke up, I didn't realize that it is the first day of December. Especially so that I woke so sore all over and I felt that I had no bones in me. I lingered in bed and while doing so read the text messages that I receive. A few of them starkly reminded me that TODAY is the first day of December indeed!(wheew)

I am in a middle (start of 3rd week of a 4 week long workshop) and since wala kaming tv at radio, we are out of touch sa outside world. So it was easy to forget what day it is. It's usually like this when we are in a workshop dito sa Bagabag. I feel so out of touch but enjoying the serenity in the compound.

November has its own memorable events as well as unthinkable memories (whatever those are..hehe). Sayang I missed the Benguet Foundation Day celebration as it was just starting when we travelled going to the workshop. Even the foundation day of our municipality, I totally missed out. It's good that fellow multipliers were generous to share their captures of the moments and I felt I was there too. Thanks everyone. I was not so sorry I missed out although I would love to be there sana in real life.haha.(ano kaya yun). Nevertheless, I am happy of the developments that we are having in the workshop although the frustrations seems to build up at times but discovering something about our language makes the frustration fade out. Especially so that I am not alone in this discovery journey. This is the first time also that all five of us are all together attending a workshop. We also had a chance to go and visit in Bitnong as well as in Banaue. As mentioned earlier, we started today the 3rd week of the workshop. After this workshop, I will be heading to the south with colleagues to help in a translators training. That would be from Dec. 15 - 26 but we have to fly out on the 15th and travel by land for 8 hours before getting to our destination. I will be back in Wangal on the 29th or 30 maybe. Please pray for us.
Thanks you all. Have a merry Christmas




All for now. God bless
