Passion

Yesterday was an awesome day. I had the chance to visit kids and had role-playing and games with them, and taught them proper hygiene. There were about 50 kids from Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila. Thank you to BDJ Power Girls Club, Dar and Fr. Giovanni for this great opportunity.... PLUS! I get to ride a bus... like a fieldtrip bus! :)

We had role-playing and it's so nice to see super bibo kids. As in Jan will ask for someone who knows how to dance or sing or even kembot and some other weird things and they were all ready to volunteer. It's so nice to see active children when all I see everyday of my dear life, are passive medical students, constantly nodding or sleeping or pretending to listen to the instructors. These kids made me feel alive! ~weird. We also had games where they eagerly participated.

We also taught them proper hygiene. We taught them how to properly wash their hands and how to brush their teeth. They were so cute and adorbs. ^^ After, they were all ready to flash their smiles to our cameras!

And finally, eating lunch with them! I found 2 girls who looked like the "young me" and 1 mestiso boy. :) Areana and Ella are so cute! And Seiji is so gwapo too! There were two kids there who are sisters, Judy Anne and Crisanta (younger). There was one time where Crisanta cried and cried and her sister took her out of the room. When they came back, some asked why Crisanta cried. Judy Anne said, "Äkala niya kasi may gagawin kayong masama sa kanya." They're so sweet. I wish I had a sister.

After the event, we dropped by San Pablo Apostol Parish where the very kind Italian priest Father Giovanni treated us for some gelato! Mhennnn! It was so delish! 

It ended 1pm but it felt like the whole day. I had so much fun with the kids, new bellas and of course my bestfriend! :) Mooooooree!!!!!!!!! Till next time!
