Long time no write. I'm back here at Cagayan de Oro. Though my purpose is only to visit and have vacation. Next week, I'll be back for school. Last month was a rush month, a very busy time that I barely had time to think about vacation. But even though I'm busy, I enjoyed my stay because of Advent Philomels and Amis Fideles. This choir has helped me a lot these past months. I'm not entirely into this thing at first. I like to have choir and I like to have ministry especially in music. But, my stay in MVC is not comfortable at first. During my first year in MVC, I'm trying to figure out if I have my friends that can help me feel that I'm here at the right place.
I'm afraid at first to have friends. I feel out of place sometimes, because I'm new and I'm not like them. They are here in Mindanao since their childhood, while me, my friends are in Luzon. I feel like I'm invading their territory and I think that I'm just dipping in their life.
These past month helped me a lot in dealing with it. Amis Fideles is a circle of friends which includes me and some students randomly picked from everywhere, but we started our friendship in a pansit canton party which made me happy. We became truly friends after that time. We gather sometimes, eating, and even going to ministry outside the school. Church hopping and even we have different singing groups we support each other.
Advent Philomels this summer had graduation concert and we had hectic practices and schedules, on of the reason why I didn't go home. But, during that time, I established firmer relationship with the group. Sir Bart arrived and we practiced with him. The seniors made us cry during the concert. I thought I wouldn't cry but, while singing 'Times of Your Life' I'm dealing with my emotions and I succeeded in holding back my tears, but the video still made me cry. I'll be missing them.I'm thankful for the group. I'm happy I become an AP. Lastly, I'm thankful that I became her friend. My worries had gone, my insecurities fall and I feel good to be closed with her.
Thank God for having me here at Mindanao. Here at MVC.
