WHEN THE FIRE BURNS AGAIN

"I lit a candle almost 6 months ago in my work, I invested a lot to keep that fire burning in the candle"

Perhaps, this is my most exhausting week in my work so far. Our company celebrated its 9th foundation week. The first three days was spent for exhibit at a nearby mall, while the two remaining days were the intramurals.

Months ago, I posted something here in this blog about my advisory class. That they and I were at the depenetration stage (it's when relationships starts to break down)of interaction becuase we rarely see each other than before. But this week, I had chance to interact and had some quality time with them once more.

Meet my advisory class: 4-Alpha

Intramurals 2010 badminton players, where I became their umpire.

Bear with me for this drama... I was still at the badminton match (km away from the basketball match, where most of my team are playing), when it is already time for lunch. Good thing, badminton matches end up so early. In the basketball gym, my team players are already tired and probably hungry at that time,still, they waited for me, Jeric and Tars to arrive for us to eat all-together. :-)

Lunch time. My team prepared a table covered with banan leaves, they had packed lunch which we all shared together.

Our ever supportive kuya Mon and kuya dennis joined us at our feast. :-)



We end up 3rd in Basketball, I think 5th over-all, but we had a party like we won first :)

 Though this week perhaps is the most exhausting in my work so far, I wouldn't trade it for any week that I had in my whole work expirience. Sleepless nights, nightly shot sessions and all that.

Being accountable for 24 students that are almost the same age that I am is not that easy. Most of the time, I conform with their behaviors and lifestyles.

Here's what I learned from them: showing  little support, concern , and accountability for a certain group will result for a feeling of respect that you want and  that you truly deserve.

When I just thought that the fire that I lit on a candle was on the brink of getting lost, in an instance, it burns once more.
