"There is knowledge in giving."
-Cielo :)



Hooray for our new mini library!

First of all, we would like to express our deepest and sincerest gratitude to Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Project Management Class S26 for their sponsorship. They chose the kids of Helping Land in Tondo, Manila to be the beneficiaries of their project. They donated school supplies kits, workbooks, reference books and a bookshelf. This is really a big help for the development of kids with regards to their academics. They also provided delicious meals for the kids’ recess.

As for this day’s activity, After School Program has officially started with a total of 127 enrollees.  
Each volunteer handled one section. And each section consisted of 3-4 students with the same year level.  Lucky enough that there were many volunteers who joined this day and we were able to handle all the 31 sections.  Volunteers’ task was to get along with their students, know some of their family backgrounds, future plans, etc.

After the usual song
and dance activity with the kids, one of the sponsors from Ateneo hosted some parlor games and the kids happily participated in it.



Making of thank you cards for the sponsors was the next activity. Each student was given a heart shaped colored paper and was instructed to put a thank you note in it in an artistic way.  Volunteers assisted the kids by giving them coloring materials.
A kit that contains some school materials was also distributed to each kid. These also came from our sponsor – Ateneo Graduate School of Business.

Picture taking of students for their I.D. was then followed.


Thank you also to another sponsor, Ms. Justine Dedumo. She provided some food and drinks in addition for the kids’ meal. Ms. Justine is also one of the volunteers of Project Pearls After School Program. Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us!

Project Pearls After School Program (July 19,2015)

Today we had a feeding program instead of after school or Sunday academic tutorial for the kids. An approximately total of 300 kids fill the covered area. Sunday Club a non profit org sponsored the foods. Thank you! :) 

Each kid will be having a bowl of champorado, pandesal, banana, and a tetra pack juice. 

Before the feeding started, there's an opening prayer followed by a song and dance. Each volunteer handled 10-12 kids. And each group prepared a cheer. 

After that, the kids had a coloring activity of their prefered cartoon characters.

 And then the feeding followed. 



There also had a free haircut!

 Thank you dearest sponsors! 

We hope that more people will come and share their blessings with these wonderful kids of Helping Land, Tondo Manila. Let's be a blessing to others. 

Prayer can move mountains. :)

Project Pearls After School Program (July 12, 2015)

Happy Nutrition Month!

In line with the nationwide celebration of Nutrition Month, kids were assigned to make a presentation with this kind of theme. They were going to act, sing, dance, or whatsoever as long as it is related to the essence of a good nutrition that kids like them must have. They will present this in front of and course, us, volunteer teachers will be joining them.

The kids were gathered in the center for a brief orientation with regards to their activity for today. The prayer, sing and dance activity were all lead by Teacher Jedda.  She also taught the kids two new songs while some of the volunteers were also in front and served as choreographers.



After the brief orientation and some lessons about Nutrition (i.e. Go, Grow and Glow foods), all the kids who attended the after class program today were divided into eleven groups. Each volunteers held a group that composed of 9-12 kids and we’ll be the one who’s going to lead our group’s presentation. Teacher Jedda gave us an hour to prepare all the artworks (if needed) and to practice.

Some played a skit; some had a cheer while some of the group sang and presented wonderful artworks created by the kids that show foods which are good for our body like fruits and vegetables.

When all the presentations were done, each group was called one by one again in front for the class picture and then after that, it’s recess time for the kids.

Today’s activity ended at 11 a.m.
Heavy rain, floods and muddy road didn’t stop us from doing our passion. And that is to touch the lives of these kids by teaching and helping them with the lessons, playing with them, having “selfies” with them and just by simply being with them.  Smiles on their faces are worth ones’ effort.

Share. Advocate. Volunteer.

Let's be a blessing to others.

To The One Who Broke My Heart

To the one who broke my heart, 
thanks for tearing me apart.
 Ive become strong, fiercer and wiser. And most of all Ive become better.

 Ive cried enough upon losing you 
I broke down, gone crazy because I loved you
 More than anyone else in this world 
the pain cannot be described of any word. 

I even hoped for u to come back
 I even lose my own track. 
But Ive come to my senses and realized
 I maybe just had these blind eyes. 


Thank you so much for all the memories. 
To those wonderful hopes and dreams. Everything may come to its end, 
Im now okay though its still a pretend.

 I maybe hurt but I learned a lot. 
and I wont regret loving you that much. For I became happy once in a while 
So I think this is goodbye. 

God is with me as I am healing 
All the wounds that you're giving.
 I will rise up again standing so tall
 The pain that I wept will end after all.

 I will be better soon,thats a promise
 I will bear the pain and I wouldnt miss. To be with the wrong one again 
For I will fall in love(this time)with the right one all over again.

 To the one who broke my heart...

 Thank you so much...

Bigo at Bago: Bagong Pag-ibig Para sa Bigong Pag-ibig

A very close friend of mine na itatago na lamang natin sa pangalang Jaydee Lustre once told me, "Para kasi sa akin Bebe, ang sagot diyan sa basag mong puso ay bagong lalaki. Maraming maraming bagong lalaki kapalit ng isang gagong lalaki. There are so many fishes in the ocean. Advantage nalang natin dahil mga lamangdagat tayo." 

The #Hugot

This picture was edited/created by my friend. I just so love it. The qoute above the girl in the picture (which is me) really do hit me.  Hahaha.

Kaya nga hashtag Hugot. :)

Spreading The Good News

GO OUT TO ALL THE WORLD AND TELL THE GOOD NEWS

A Senseless Rant

A Rant: Will There Be Someone?

Would still there be someone who would accept me wholeheartedly? 

This is the question that has been running to my mind since the day that someone so dear chose to leave me. 

Yes I've been wrecked, used, and unloved. I know that I dont deserve it but maybe God just deleted some useless person or even a virus in my personal file of life. 

Right now this thought has always been brothering me. 
What if there would be no one who would love me just much as I can love him? 
What if he will just make me fall in love then just like the first one, he will then eventually leave?
 Is it really my fault that someone just left me easily?
 Is there really a problem with me? 
Am I not that lovable?
 Don't I deserve loyalty?
 Am I meant to be alone forever?

 I don't want to be with the wrong guy again. I want to guard my heart. I don't want to lose my dignity again and drop down again my pride just for a stupid person I chose to love. 

But we were just human who are hungry for love, for affection, for care from someone who can treat us like a queen. Yes we may feel that we are a damsel in distress who are patiently waiting for some knight in shining armour who would save us from this nightmare of being alone, broken, wasted, abused, and left behind.


 I've been asking God last night. "Dear God, would there really be someone who would love me just much as I love you? Will he accept my bitter and dark past? Will he understand what I've been through? Will he protect my heart from being broken again?"

I will be more demanding with my questions this time....

"Dear God, Is that someone would never get tired of my mood swings? 
Will he patiently listens to my rants and nags?
 Will he accept my undying and sometimes very clingy and cheesy love that I can give to him? And would never get tired of it too.
Would his loyalty will never fade? 
Can I fully trust him? And won't he break it? 
I don't know if that someone would come in the right time. But Papa God, please help me in guarding my heart. You alone can prove to me that forever does exist. Wether it would turn out to be forever alone or forever in love, it's up to You and I lift up everything to You my dear God. Control my life and You're will be done." 

Then I wept. 


Negativity shouldn't lead my thoughts but I just can't help it. I am so crazy being worried if the right man will come into my life or another asshole will pass through it. I just don't know.
