Day 15 at Life Change Recovery Center: "Start of Something New.."

Ika- 27 ng Enero 2010 (Miyerkules)

 
Yes, something new talaga today. Dahil kahapon pumunta ang aking mga gurlfrends sa bahay namin para gumawa ng AVP presentation para sa Graduation ng isang resident. Pinaghandaan namin iyon at saka sabi ni Sir Al kailangan daw namin magdala ng formal attire. We thought na para yun sa graduation. Pero may iba palang purpose yun. Hehehe. :)



I arrived exactly 8am, pero ng magtime-in na ako, 8:01am na. Na-disappoint ako dahil one minute late na ako, sayang din yun. :P

That morning napag-usapan namin ay yung magaganap na special event this day. Kaming mga Am sessionistas (sabi nga ni Bethel.hehe) ay pumasok sa session hall for the Aerobics session. While yung iba ang naghahanda ng decorations para sa graduation ni kuya N. Medyo kakaiba yung aerobics ngayon, parang ang tahimik sa loob at kumbaga eh behave yung mga residents. Bakit kaya? Dahil siguro kasama namin sa loob ng session hall ay mga nursing students from St. Mary at sila yung tinutukoy ni Sir Al na mga observers. Maya-maya bigla na akong tinawag ni Sir at sinabi yung about sa 'photoshoot' with Doc Randy at kailangan naming maglunch ng maaga. Yeh. Yun pala kasi yung purpose ng formal attire, hehe. Mayroon daw kasing book na gagawin si Doc Randy at kailangan niya ng models. Oh diba, sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon aakalain mo bang magiging modelo kami. Love it!



Sa totoo lang maraming nangyari sa araw na ito, gaya ng pictorial with Doc Bolet sa morning at kay Doc Randy in the afternoon naman ayee. ;)


 
Photoshoot with the Doctors: 

 

Practicumers from NEU and PUP with Doc Bolet and her cute dogs. ;p

*Nagstart ang pictorial, around 1pm na siguro. Sabi ni Doc kailangan syempre mukhang natural yung photos, so may itinuro siyang low energy, Relaxation Technique. I will not forget this opportunity. At sabi pa ni Doc Randy na pag may time daw he will have a group session with us. We are really looking forward na dumating yung araw na iyon. :)

Graduation Day of Kuya N.



After that photoshoot, (this might open showbiz opportunities for us. Hehe), nagstart na kami ng aming presentation, 'Start of Something New', song from High School Musical OST. Very relevant ito sa event na magaganap dahil it tells something about the 'New Life' or 'New Beginning'. And Kuya N. and his family, after his stay here in LCRC will start his Life again. And sana nga he will be able to get into the right track again. Mabilisan ang mga pangyayari sa hapong iyon, practice ng mga residents, changed the backdrop, and preparation for the program. Kinausap kami ng aming practicum supervisor about the program at tinanong niya ang tungkol sa mga mangyayari at kung nakausap na ba yung mga taong involved doon. We thought everything was already prepared but we forgot to communicate sa mga taong may special part sa graduation. So because of what happened napagtanto namin na kahit ang pinakamaliit na detalye ay hindi dapat kalimutan. And when someone gave you a liability or accountability for something, that person trusts you because s/he knew that you can do that task.



Espesyal ang araw na ito para sa isang resident na si Kuya N. Surprise nga ito para sa kanya eh. Actually, ang program lang sa LCRC na mayroon Graduation day ay yung mga Drug Patients pero pag Psychiatric daw walang graduation program.

Anyways, I'm glad na I was able to attend this kind of activity dito sa LCRC sabi nga ni Mam Agnes matagal na rin daw silang walang graduate na resident at ngayon nga lang daw uli kay Kuya N. Masasabi kong lahat ng stressed na inabot namin para sa preparation ng program was all worth it! Very emotional ang evening na iyon, hindi lang pamilya ni K.N, hindi lang ang mga residents, kundi lahat ng nasa loob ng session hall ay na-touched sa mga pangyayari. Honestly, pinigilan kong umiyak dahil kapag umiyak ako iyak talaga. Almost first part pa lang ng program yung AVP na pinaghandaan namin was very touching na, lalo pa nang magsalita yung family ni K.N., at ng nakita ko rin siyang almost teary-eyed na. Sir Al also gave a very meaningful message , yung mga challenges na hinarap niya during his stay as the porgram officer of LCRC, at first time naming makita si Sir na emotional.
 
Iba talaga yung atmosphere sa loob ng session hall, sabi nga eh very euphoric daw. Na-inspire ako sa mga napakinggan kong mensahe mula sa pamilya ni k.N, sa kanyang mag co-residents, kay K.N, kay Mam Agnes, kay Sir Al. At siguro one thing that I learned fro this event, everyone deserves a second chance. And K.N., made some mistakes in his life, yet his stay here in LCRC become his second chance- to change his old ways, start anew, and become a better and stronger person. Hopefully, lahat ng mga natutunan niya sa Life Change ay magamit niya sa pagbabagong buhay niya.



Truly, what is happening to us is planned by GOD. At kung anuman yung mga bagay na iyon whether good or bad man, we will still end up

realizing that 'It made sense". ;)
