those were the days...

hey, bloggers.
how's summer going out there?

i spent my first week of summer, sick. maybe it's the aftermath of too much stress and emotional burden. i still can't believe that i'm a college lass now. ha ha! well, i was literally sick! got this severe head ache with stomach ache 24/7 and a night shift fever. worse is that i really can't stand long because i get dizzy so fast.

now that im here, a little bit better, or shall i say fine. i took all the chances and time to make it up to my blog. i know no one reads my blog now. anymore. yet. whatever. :(

i had a chat with my high school classmate (how awkward i had to call her that way now) a while ago. and the conversation went this way:

jela: hey, shanne! miss you. musta na?
tim: fine lang. kaw?
jela: ok lang. sa wmsu ka na talaga? nursing?
tim: yeah. ata. ikaw?
jela: sa adzu. IT. bagay tlaga sayo magnursing shanne.
tim: bat mo nasabi yan?
jela: duh? red cross awardee ka kaya! and totoo naman. sabi nga ni ma'am
nung third year tayo.
tim: heh? talaga? no idea tlg. don't know that.
jela: oo. basta nag announce un sa announcer's booth na
something like"medic.. medic" and you were there running with your
trusted medical kit.ayun, napag usapan ka namen ni ma'am poli.
tim: those were the days, jela.

i will surely miss my four-year rendering of free service to those injured and needy players of pilar college. those little kids who stumble and cry for help. those whom in their little ways made my heart beat faster than normal by saying "salamat ate!"

i've been dedicating myself to the RED CROSS since i entered high school and i'm proud to say, it was only in my time that the RED CROSS CLUB in our school was made active. i was able to lead other 119 members (overpopulated) and mold them into responsible first-aiders. it was only in my time as the president that our school was granted permission by the directress to have a RED CROSS I.D for free. because i worked on it for 2 years, before i was elected as the president. and when i took hold of the title, president, i had the full authority to make it possible. it was only in my time that we had this overnight training on emergency care and first-aid that was held in our school. truly i say, even though i was only an auditor in my first year, a treasurer in my second and third year, it was never a hindrance to make a big difference.

i still remember my presidential speech before elections. i only delivered a short one. i only had seventeen sure supporters out of the 119. i said "i was serving for three years without pleading for position. with or without position, still, i am ready to render my service. it's all up to you to weigh us and bethrone the most deserving."

those were the days...
