Leadership Training Seminar 2007
Yo.
Its been two days since I left my PC here at home to rest. Now that I'm back, ill be giving you a recap of what events happened during my 2 day seminar at Luisita, Tarlac.
So...Let's start off with the theme of this Leadership Training Seminar.
"Centennial Student Leaders: Mobilizing the next generation towards quality and effective leadership"
Mmmm..sounds like a yummy topic, dont you think? XD
Anyways, I woke up at around 4:30ish on Aug.3 to get myself and my things ready for the said event. I finished doing so at around 4:50, and was unable to finish my breakfast at home. Anyways, I reached CEU at around 5:30 or so, and waited for the others to arrive. Wendy texted me that Ding wont be able to come because of a fever, so it leaves me, Ryan, Wendy, Agnes, Jam and Josh to go to the said seminar.
Jam was already there around 4:55 (accdng to her) but I didnt notice her. I came second, followed by Wendy, Ryan, Agnes, and then finally Josh, who came a bit late. Bus took off a around...past 6? i think, and we also had another van, to accomodate the advisers.
We reached Tarlac at around 8 or so, and we stopped by Plaza Luisita for breakfast. Most of us went to Jolibee to eat, and we got some pancake, tacos, fries and such for our meal. Mmm..yum?
At around 9, we went to the Function hall (through the Hotel itself, and past the forest-ey path.) Mam Roces did some speech and then a couple of unfreezing activities too. Afterwhich we went to eat our lunch there. Food was nice, service was good too.
To dissolve the food we just ate, we then proceeded to the Museum there of Ninoy Aquino and his wife. We were able to see a short clip about his life and his struggles against the martial regime and the like. We also saw the real items that Ninoy was able to use in the duration of his life, especially those that were part of major events that occured to him.
Lunch was over and everyone was doing okay. Check-in time at the hotel was next. We got room 202 and the girls got 201. The girls' room had a microwave, faucet, heater, ref and coffee, which was not present in our room. After freshening up, we went back to the function room to continue our seminar.
The next speaker was an electrical engineer turned entrepreneur. he had a good start in his talk, but somehow slowly deviated from what the theme that he was supposed to delve on. Anyways, he was a good and powerful speaker, even though some points in his discussion didnt really help, or relate to us. (we ate some empanada too while listening to the talk. Yay for snacks!)
After his talk, we then went back to the hotel for another retouch and also for an outfit change. (btw, JAM+Frogs = YAY )Around 6 or so, we got back there to do the extra challenge thing.
The groups were divided into 8(6colleges, and 2 groups for the org.) and competed for candy! :P
first round was to form an outside circle, sitting down (legs flat on the floor) and then arms interlocked with the other members, and then try to stand up in that position.
(easy to say, but somehow hard to do.) we didnt get to win this round, but it was fun nonetheless.
second round was hilariously funny and exiting.
the groups were to carry an eel-like fish from one bucket to another just by bear hands. x_x;
since they were Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery slimy, it was not easy to do.
Dentistry was able to win this round with 26 igats. Whee!
(just imagine those slimy things as saliva, and we' do fine. hahah...)
the third round was not the best one. and not a tasty one either.
there was a mysterious plate infront of us, and it seemed like we were supposed to eat all of them asap to win. it smelled weird, and looked weird too. each team is only given 1 glass of water, to sate whatever residual taste the mysterious food would leave in the mouth.
this mysterious food was then revealed to us as...Cow's Brain. X_X; we didnt seem to get the first place here, but we did get to eat it all. (good way to minimize people from eating, eh?)
anyways, dinner was okay, not that bad, and we then finally readied ourselves for the Mr. and Ms. LTS 07.
till then,

Aug 1 07.
Will be doing duty today at the Pathology section once again, but since the Mendiola group was already with us, we didnt have enough tasks to do in the hematology section (compared to last week).
anyways, the day started out normally; Lio fetched me here, and we dropped her card at their church, while Sy (+mom and bro) hitched us a ride to the meeting place.
we got there early today and it seems that Gian was the only Malolos student there (and it was around quarter to 8..i think). because of this, Dr. Siaco congratulated our group (group C) for being complete, and us three malolos peeps of group 3 got some incentive.
while we were walking towards our destined section, the others finally showed up, running like crazy to reach the dental section in time. (afaik, len had brought their vehicle.)
Patho work today was not as hectic as last week, but most of the facilities in the place were nearly ready to use (since they have been doing the relocation of things since last last last week) since we are now greater in number, we did shifts on doing the receiving of specimens. some of us also helped out in carrying some equipments to and fro, to help them out in organizing the place up.
for the third time, we met that old lady that was selling food snacks around the hospital, and the mendiola peeps bought fish crackers and pastilias, and sampaloc and merengue. Yum. :3
after a while, it was already 11 , and we were asked to return around that time for some annoucements. we proceeded then to the waiting area past the derma section and got the details of what needs to be passed next week.
after being dismissed, we ate some snacks at the coop canteen while waiting for our ride, before going to Greenhills (for lio and sy's cellphone swapping spree). we ate at a barbecue restaurant (which was quite delicious, Reyes' Barbecue if i remember it right), before running around the place for the info on how much the phones would cost. (and i did check on new gadgets i might find, just in case i finally save enough money to upgrade my gadgets.)
after hours of haggling and decision making, the two finally got their new phones. YAY. (i am not familiar with what models they are anyways, since im content with my gaming phone.)
we went home afterwards and got dropped off at the church and then lio and I drove back home.
till then,
