The Send off Ceremony...
(I like straightforward titles)

 Apparently I never thought too much for the immersion, much less for the orientations, as I thought the best they could do for me was at least take a couple of weeks off of school (don't get me wrong though, days off of school are always good, come on now, let's be real here) to get my mind off of things. During the orientation, however, I realized that maybe the immersion maybe isn’t so bad after all. During the orientation I realized that the immersion could be a great leeway for me so that I could plan out stuff for my future and visualize what I would be doing maybe ten years from now if I actually picked the job I am basically trying to aim for now.

I also learned a lot of things from the speaker though, like proper ethics on the workplace and such; as well as strategic ways to find a job, and how to apply for one (so as to not screw up the screening process and actually land on a job).




In the afternoon we had a little send-off ceremony wherein we had the parents come to us for the candle lighting. Before the we did the activity our principal gave us some inspirational advice (like the weapons for success, or at least that’s what I remembered they’re called to be) to help us go through the 59 days of school that are left. Then we had the candle lighting ceremony (my mom wasn’t there, but I believe I still got the essence of the event and what it was trying to imply to us --- our parents illuminating our future and being the light to guide us as we go through life and become adults), and somehow that experience enlightened me on how much our parents worked so hard to make us reach this point in our lives and how they are still striving to guide us into the future. The day ended well for everyone and I guess all of us learned a bit of something during that experience.

Just a Post on Human Trafficking    Human trafficking occurs when humans are used for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker. It may include providing a partner in the context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and evisceration. Human trafficking is considered as a crime against the person amply due to the violation of the victim's freedom of movement through coercion or because of commercial exploitation.    Although human trafficking may vary from different areas, it almost always targets and tries to exploit vulnerable situations. Persons that seem to be vulnerable can easily fall prey to human traffickers. We see these in multiple different circumstances. One of the root causes of human trafficking is political instability, or amply poor political conditions, which may lead to a country having civil unrest, militarism, and an image of it...

Just a Post about a Ball (that is memorable)

One could say that before the ball started I was the most unenthusiastic guy in the world. The tuxedo felt steamy as heck inside, and my body sweated a lot. Whilst walking to the venue my brain was already set to go home. When I arrived there however, my attitude about the program changed, at least a little.   Seeing my classmates trying to look formal and stuff was sort of entertaining, especially looking at some of the masks that others brought with them. The opening ceremony took a bit of  time to finish, but afterwards stuff moved smoothly. After some speeches and stuff, dinner was served (which at that point was probably one of the stuff I anticipated more than anything else). After dinner was when everything got “lit”. I believe there was some sort of prophecy speech beforehand (or was that after the ball? I’m not entirely sure…) which was pretty funny… and a bit awkward when your name got called. Then we had a little time to dance with whoever we wa...

The last day of the first time

Yesterday was the last day of the first time I got to observe and learn what I’d probably be doing six years from now. Going into the clinic yesterday wasn’t as stressful as the first time I went there (as that was more of me being paranoid so as to what would my situation there would be), it was more of, like the previous days, me thinking of what other new things I’d get a glimpse of or experience that’d help me picture out what I may be doing in the near future. The day went off fine, the doctor explained a few stuff to me, like finding the optical center of a lens and stuff, and gave me an idea of how to translate computer readings into useful information that you can use, and how to write them in a prescription as well. The day flew quite fast after but I believe I could say that I learned a lot during that day, just like the last ones, and I’m really thankful to them having me there and welcoming me. Looking back, the whole experience really gave me some enligh...
