Connie

Last Saturday my friend from Davao paid a visit here in GenSan. Haaaa...how sweet!!!!She stayed with us for one night and a day. Parang di naman yata kami nag sleep ni Connie. We keep on talking about anything under the dark sky. I miss her everything~ including our community works in Mt. Matutum, staying and living with the B'laan people there for almost every month, our working chemistry and the exotic foods we ate in the field. Most of all her friendship. Sometimes ang sarap sarap balikan ng past. Even the pains you have encountered. Kami ni Connie, we have plenty of painful experiences while working in DENR. Painful dahil masasama ang puso ng ibang kasamahan namin but I love the job. My goddd....it's a wonderful job. Imagine, artist kami dun! We have our ways of doing things na wala ang iba. We do video documentations and any documentary write-ups for the project. We also facilitate trainings, workshops and any information education campaign stuff dun mismo sa field. Imagine traveling in Southern Mindanao from the top of Mt. Matutum and under the waters of Sarangani Bay for 6 years? As in under the water ha? We do the diving, the underwater assessment and a lot more. Sometimes availing workshop pa for free in animation, photography, video editing leadership seminars and a lot of environmental chuva.
Connie is a very patient person. She can keep her bad moods. Smiles even hurting inside. And she stayed with me ~right or wrong~.
I could still imagine how she cried when I resigned. She was not prepared for it. It also broke my heart but you see, everything happens for a reason. We are more happier now. God arranged everything for us. We may not be workin' together now but our friendship remains.

I intend to keep it for the rest of my life.

Thank you sa lovebirds Connie. Nangitlog na pala sila~~eeeeee!!!!!
