isang unforgetable experience ito. ang daming nakakaloka, nakakatuwa at eye-opening events.
for the nth time, naka-uniform na naman kami. all white ang drama. parehas pa kami ng shirt ni reg -- our UP shirt na binili namin in time for the cheerleading competition. saya!!!
okay, we went to cubao to document a FGD. so its our first time so we really have no clue. I just brought my mp3 player as a recorder so that hindi naman kami ma-lost sa bilis ng discussion. but we forgot to bring a camera.
let me frist describe the location. well its in cubao so expected na sobrang liit at dikit dikit ang mga bahay. Pumasok kami sa isang maliit na eskinita then underground (believe it or not, hindi ka-level ng lupa ang bahay). So ayun, sumambulat ang isang maliit na house na mas malaki lang ng kaunti sa room ko ngayon.
It was Ate Yda's house. Ung volunteer-slash-staff sa PRRM. she really does get into my nerves sometimes. with all the "paki naman po" stuff.
Moving on, we just sat sa floor then naka-circle na ang mga peer educators (PE). So start na. Ang topic ay tungkol sa HIV/AIDS. Siyempre ano pa nga ba?! Sa totoo lang kapag tinignan mo iyong mga peer ed, parang hindi kapani-paniwalang peer ed sila. They're not even serious during the whole FGD. Some of them were laughing. Some did not participate. Parang nagblu-bluff lang as reg said. Actually magkakamag-anak lang nga rin sila eh. Siguro dahil sa monthly allowance kaya napapayag silang mag PE.
Pero not all of them naman ay "useless". Iyong iba very truthful naman (i think so) sa pagsagot. Iyong isa nga kinuwento talaga mismo ang experience niya. With anal sex and condom use and everything. Kapag nansoon ka talaga, mawawarla ka. Siyempre hindi naman kami illiterate sa ganoong topic pero iba pa rin kapag sobrang straight to the point ang kausap mo.
Okay let's not elaborate on the ever-so boring discussion (due to lack of participation). We went to gateway after cause Reg is gonna meet with Ron. Okay don't ask questions about who is who. So there, gateway. Ate at food express and talked and talked and talked endlessly about everything that makes us funny. Had a good time.
Hay...
***********Have eaten lots of fast food today. First, Jack brought me lunch. Chow fan. Next, we ate at Gateway. Frosty. Lastly, it's my sister's birthday. She's already *toot* (she might kill me if i say it). WE had KFC chicken for dinner at home. Actually it was good i remembered that today's her birthday. I planned to order KFC chicken meal when we were in G8way.
