In a War, We Plan First 

Before Making A Move

Today, I am a bit late because of an overtime in eating a very large waffle that seems very hard to digest. The moment that I saw that it is already 2 PM, I just left the one - fourth remaining part of the waffle there and started running not even thinking if it will be properly digest in my stomach. xD

Anyway, the time that I got inside the classroom, I still reached the opening prayer and thought that I didn't miss anything important so I completely forgot to ask for what the class did while I was still not around.

Since we did not finished the interview show last meeting, it is continued to be able to discover the lives of the different marginalized people that we might not know. It really left a message for me in what we can do for these marginalized people as they give their messages for us, lasallians.

After the discussion about these marginalized people, we watched a video about a news of murder of a student that was also said that the student was raped before taking her life which a tricycle driver and a policeman was said to be involved. We then analyzed the factors of such crime and what it is causing it which led to another activity where we divided the class into three groups and drew the causes of the topic which looked like a map or a spider's web. Our group's topic is "social disintegration" and we wrote our ideas in the board about it.

For the next activity, we were still in groups but made the groups smaller because the class was divided into four. We need to make a small barangay or town that we want to see but the challenge is, we need to use the things that we only have at that moment. Our group only have a few things but good thing, we still came up with something mostly, gadgets were used. The area coordinators judged our works, and it is still okay even if we didn't won.

Still on the groups, we enlisted the factors of the given topic to us. Our topic is about the weaknesses of the community. After the discussion of the groups, Sir Gian discussed the planning and made the planning with the whole class which is agreed by the whole class. It took a lot of time and took some time. We were dismissed at about 5:30pm. It was really overtime. At the prayer, I am a little bit of worried since it's becoming late and the sky already began to be dark, and I still to go home to my province using public transportation that it might already be dangerous for me to go home, so I was a little bit teary and already about to cry. But even though it was late, I learned moral lessons which is my take- home souvenir.
