I Found the Love

As the song says "Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and other's gold". This song will always remind me of my Mendel-Zeus Family. Because of them I found the love and we will celebrate it in our grand social ball. 
"That's Amore" means "That's Love", way of NNCHS-SHS of socializing. It was a masquerade  ball for a cause. It was a day of love,  the day of knowing new bunch of friends.  A tool of showcasing the beauty of all the Grade 12 students of the Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School - Seinor High School

It was 19th of February when I attended the social night of SHS.  I can't hide my excitement because it will be another moment to be kept. I am amazed to see my classmates in their elegant and beautiful gowns and suits. Overwhelmed at the same time when I saw them walking in the red carpet wearing their creative and captivating mask; they were like kings and queens shining and 

My experience during this grand ball is a memorable one.  I was assigned to be the one to bring the book of knowledge. Lucky I am that I was the one to deliver the speech as we turn-over the book to our successor, the grade 11. After the formal ceremony,  the atmosphere changed into a lively and colorful place as the disco lights started to turn and sounds started to beat. It was a time to do the social dance. We were so happy as we join our body movements in the beat of the song.  People were shouting,  sign that they were enjoying the event. I am really happy to see smiles on their faces. Seeing my classmates dancing with me together,  I cannot imagine that days from now we will be seperating apart and will face the new journey of life.  To my Zeus Family,  I will never forget all of you,  you mold me to be strong and independent person,  you taught me to be a man with courage to face all the challenges. You stand by me as we fought  the problems.  I Love You Zeus.

The food was great, set-up was nice, and the memories are worth to keep.

Temporary: A Moment of Goodbye

Yehey! My immersion just ended. I can't imagine that I will be attached to the work I have experienced during this 80 hours of training. I really experienced the best immersion that a STEM student should have. I really learned a lot of things. We had drawings and also see those computations in reality.
February 5, 2018, last day of immersion was a simple day. I am happy for I had accomplished my duty without any problems but deep inside me is sad that I will be leaving what I have adapted in the last 10 days. I realized that if you have given your time and effort for something, it will be hard for you to let go. Anyways, I am very lucky for having Provincial Capitol of Compostela Valley as my training institution for they really give us time and importance. They showed us the reality from basic drawing in the school. During my last day, I  was were tasked to accomplish everything: our accomplishment reports, daily time record and our trainee's record book. I rewrite my reflections and waited for the signing of our TRBs. We had also the time to thank everyone who had help us throughout the immersion. We had also picture taking after they released the booklets to us.
As I go back to my basic life, I will bring all the things I discovered and used all of this for making a best BUILDING of my future. The VOLUME of my skills is now enough to cover the AREA of my interest. The longer STEEL of knowledge I used, the more stronger FOOTING and COLUMN of understanding I will have. Now, the EXCAVATION of my future just started. Recently I finished my foundation and done the BACKFILL. After how many years VINCENT MARMITO's BUILDING WILL BE STANDING STRONG UNDER OF THE RAYS OF THE SUN AND SILENCE OF THE NIGHT. Thank you Provincial Engineering Office (PEO)for the learnings and opportunity, I will never forget what you have taught me. Te'amo.
