Short Trip to Philippines

Hello Everybody,Sometime back Picasso & myself visited our Sister Club, the Rotaract Club of Paraiso Quezon City. The above photos were some extracted photos from our trip there. One fine day, I just raised up the idea of going to the Asia Pacific Regional Rotaract Conference with Picasso. Since APRRC is going to be at Phils, I propose to Picasso that we visited our sister club too...The next thing, we know like action speaks louder than words in RAC Marina City, we were onboard Tiger Airways making our there to reunite with our Rotaract brothers & sisters in Quezon City. And they all say a picture speaks a thousand words, without further ado... please enjoy the photos' spread ^^

Saturday..my favourite day of the week

CAS1

I was out with the Rotaractors of Rotaract Club of Queenstown doing community service. Man, it was really enjoyable and meaningful. The community we reached out was the Children Aid Society which was some where between Ngee Ann Polytechnic and SIM. For the first time, I don't know what to do with kids. Usually I am pretty good playing with kids ok...like 1 to 2 kids that's fine....But suddenly you got like nearly 20 over kids in a very limited space running around, screaming and sometimes verging on beating each others that is pretty tough.

CAS2  

You see the group of kids we were taking care of this time were from underpriviledged and/or single parent families. Suddenly they like see so many Kors Kors & Jies Jies around playing with them...They were like competing with each other for our attention. They see treats and rewards very seriously. Especially if one child have like treats from us...They will ask why they don't have...Scary and harrowing I say...I have to personally separate some of them who bullies each other...Especially the elders one...and don't be surprise the younger one are prettty "violent" too....All in all it was real fun...

CAS3

My team - Team 4 came out first for the sketch! lol...We acted out the story of the 3 little pigs with the children...Funnie... Next upcoming Rotaract event will be the X'mas Party for Kids.... Having gained an experience this time around, I am sure how to work around kids now...

The Serenity Prayer
Path

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world a
s it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him for
ever in the next.

Amen.

-- Reinhold Niebuhr

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
