I can't get over comics sometimes. :)
Had a brilliant day yesterday at the GK forum in school. Met alot of people, shared my experience..planned a lot of stuff. Met the Singaporean fellow who climbed mount everest and skated from Hanoi to singapore! He's going to kayak the whole length of the phillippines, from south to north, in 120 days with a team of sportsmen from various schools to raise awareness for Gawad Kalinga. I'm really impressed! It's a project called Kayak of hope, and he'll be holding it from April to August. Pit stops in towns, GK villages and anywhere that's dry land. :P
Sounds great, and i really sincerly hope to get to catch one of his sports trips from town to town!
yup, so i hope to be there when he starts or has a pit stop in one of the towns.. i hope to also go back and bring some of my juniors in course to experience phil (=
I was just looking at the GK challenge for this year and i feel inspired! Usually GK holds rallies, and in these rallies they always have challenges to the volunteers and staff, as well as countrymen..so last time it was always raise funds and keep getting in volunteers and all..but last year and this year, they had this challenge to send their teams to build communities inside the 'last frontier' of terrorist activities- SULU! Impressed much!
I'm more impressed over the recent expeditions to mindanao. There was a story which came back of a rebel army commander who happened to come upon a GK site. at sight, the people in the village were really scared..the commander went around asking people what was GK and what were these people doing? all the villagers shared their experiences and the change that GK has brought, and WOW, guess what? the commander decided to put down her arms and join the GK build. (=
Yup, more that building houses and communities, it's building values..and PEACE.
That's my yesterday! Today i went over to guitar for a session with lionel, did a piece from a classical music CD. Had a little talk about music and composition intepretations..very, very inspiring and beautiful. You can say that i'm almost looking at music in a totally different way now! After that went for a 2 hour swim..completed 30 laps of breastroke and a mixture of other stuff..stayed home to do stuff.
overall an okay day? gonna study for the rest of the time. and maybe read a little bit more comics (=
