Yeah! My 2009 had ended so good and so right! Why? It ended with a youth camp, me & Loriza as the Team Leaders. Weeeh. It was our first time to be the team leader so it was hard for us at first.
-----------------------
It's good to see that this youth camp was successful in spite of many challenges we faced before this was pushed through. YFCs in our chapter became so inactive after so many years. And now, after I had joined to YFC, our couple coordinator had assigned me as the Chapter Head of YFCs in Naic. It was hard for me at first, because I was still young that time and I don't know much about YFC. But then, I tried my best to be the Chapter Head. I read all the YFC Manuals so that I can gather informations about Youth Camps, Covenant, HouseHolds, YCTP, HHTP, 100%, GA, and many many more.
One month after, YFC Cavite had their YFC Community Based Conference. I attended this conference and there, I met Tito Joey. Without knowing that he is the provincial coordinator of YFC High School Based. And and there, he asked me if I want to have YFC as an official club in our school; of course I answered 'yes. After this Community Based Conference, I may say that my service in YFC;my service to God, started to grow.
-------------------------------------
YFC-Naic;Community Based
As far as I can remember, we had our first youth camp in our chapter last May 20-21,2009. I was already the chapter head that time. I find it difficult to have a 3-Day Youth Camp so I prefer to have it 2 days. The former chapter head of YFC Naic helped me plan this first youth camp. She called for a Mission Team(YFCs from diff. places) from Bailen and Mendez. Mission Team is needed because service teams were very few.
Woooh! In that youth camp, we were able to gather 29 participants. But then, like what many are saying,"Many are called but few are chosen..", only 8 of them became active in our service in YFC. I can still name them; Zyrex, Justin, Eunika, Chery, Rikki Mae Ate Camz, Ate Chami, and Chelsea. And there, after that youth camp, we started to build a new YFC Naic. Yes, we started our journey in YFC when we are just, i think, we're only 15+.
Emer, Arci, Ervin, Irah, Lara, Nique and the 8 newly graduates.
---------------------------
YFC-High School Based CNSHS
waaaaah!! As far as I know, it took 3 months before YFC was considered an official club in our school. Argh. From the community based YFC in Naic, Me, with the help of kuya Peeboy and Tito Joey introduced this YFC in our school. Ma'am De Vera asked so many questions about what YFC is & asked so many requirements like DepEd memo, & the like. It was difficult for me to work that our before. Tito Joey was living in Bacoor & kuya Peeboy was college, so I was the only one mobilizing in our school. But then, It's good to feel and to see the result of your hard work. YFC was then signed as an official club in our school.
It's good to know that from the 8 active newly graduates from the community based, 4 were presently studying in CNSHS. They were Rikki Mae, Justin, Zyrex, and Chelsea. And there, I gathered them all, I searched for students who were member of YFC. Then, I was able to meet Stanford and Zeus. After that, I talked to them and had our appointing of officers. It's good to know that our Club adviser for this year was Ma'am May for I know that Ma'am May is industrious and is very dedicated to her every work.
After so many months of submitting a youth camp proposal to Ma'am De Vera, at last! We had our very first youth camp on our school last November 29-30 as far as I can remember. On that youth camp, we were able to produce 47 new YFC Members of our High School Based in our school. I can say that it was a success! Bring God's High to Schools!!!
-------------------------
Going Back.. YFC-Naic;Community Based
Going back to the YFC on our chapter, we had our 2nd youth camp, just recently last December 28-30, 2009, and we were able to gather 25 participants. It's good to see that from the newly graduate YFCs in our school, almost 20+ of them volunteered to be one of the service teams in the camp. Woooh. It was so good. I can see that they really are growing in the service even though they are still newly graduates, they really are willing to serve Lord, God. n_n
During the camp... ahmm.. Me and Loriza were feeling weird. Starting from the binding & casting of the venue, we can both feel that there is something on the venue that hinders us to pursue the camp. But then, we do not mind that thing. ......
..When we're going to have the POS or the Pray-Over Session, I don't know why but I'm really feeling weird. The participants are not standing/committing theirselves to God even though I can see them still awake. The speaker told them to stand if they are ready to accept Jesus Christ to their lives, but then, it took so long before they stood up. I can see them awake and listening to the speaker. But they are just listening. They do not do what the speaker wanted them to do.
whew.. It's a very long and weird story. I will not post the whole story here for it was very long and it's dificult for me to type it. Maybe, i'll just tell the story if you have time(Ma'am May).. =)
Wooooh!! Yeah! And during talks 3 & 5, I was the one who did the reflection. I told them stories and I think, they were inspired. I can see them all crying. Good thing that they cried to my reflection.. hehe.. Because this was my first time. >.<
------------------------
Waaaah!! I think this blog entry is long enough. Maybe i'll just continue this next time. =)
See 'you! ^__^

Covenant / Welcome Party
This is the day! The covenant of the new YFC members of our high school based. =)
The day before the covenant, we do not really know who will be joining the covenant. So, Stan and me text passed about it. But then, no one is replying. Until, it was the day. We thought that no one will be going, but praise God!, Because, of the 47 newly YFC graduates, 23 of them attended. At first we were so sad because almost only half (not even half..) attendeded. But then, we realized that it's just okay. And we have to be thankful that we were so blessed to have them.
At 7:00 AM, we were able to reach our venue (Tamio's Resort @ Trece). We first had our opening worship and after it, teaching of songs and energizers. At 8:00 AM, our first speaker arrived. I can see that they are listening very attentively. This manner was the same as talk 2 up to talk 4 was delivered to them. And at last! At almost 2:00 PM, we had our amazing race and the happiest of all, the swimming!! =)
We were so happy because we can see them happy of what they are doing. They are really enjoying YFC as much as I do. ^^
The Covenant ended with a prayer. And it also ended with smiles on their face and it was so good to hear when they say "ang saya ng covenant!.."
That's all i can share for this day.. I can't think much because my head is aching.

Town Fiesta
It's fiesta on our town today. But unluckily, we have classes this day.
This morning, my mother woke me up so early, about 4:00 AM, and then we went altogether to the church to listen to a mass. The priest told us last mass that during the town fiesta "kung walang misa, walang mesa..." ; meaning, if we didn't attend the mass, we should not celebrate the feast. And I think father is right. She told that because during the fiesta, maybe others were too busy cooking that's why they are forgetting to go to church and hear the mass.
By the way, it seems that this day was not good for me. I do not feel well. I feel lousy in all my class. And I feel hot. It seems like I have a fever. But then, I don't wanna go home just for that, so I just tried to endure it.
And there, it's lunch time. My mother asked me to go home during our lunch. But sad to say, our teachers didn't allow us to go to Naic because they told us that we will surely be late for the next subject if we still pursue; so, I was not able to go to our house anymore.. But then, it's just ok because, ofcourse, I will still be going home during the afternoon and can still eat foods on our house! (wenk. haha)
After classes, I saw Kuya Ervin in the school. And there, during our worship, we had him to lead. And after the worship, Kuya Ervin, my brother, and Rikki Mae(first year), altogether went to our house. =)
About 7PM, I had received the text message of Kim Salvacion and he is inviting anyone to their house. So I went there and I also saw Maxime and Nepo inside their house. After a while, I left Kim's house because Stanford and the other 4th yrs texted me to go to Stanford's house, so I went there. Afterwards, we all went to perya; but suddenly, my father called me up on the phone and told me that Kim Aeriel, Jeje, Babylyn, etc is on our house, so I have to go already and as fast as I could, I ran towards our house because it was too traffic to ride on a tricycle. And there, I saw them. Because Babylyn is there, they also texted Max to go to our house. And that, Maxime, together with Kim & Nepo went to our house also. After eating, we went altogether to perya. Wooh! There, we had ridden so many rides such that of the Fairies Wheel. Ahahaha!
I think it's almost 10 PM when we went home. But it's just ok, my mother didn't scold me.. xD
So happy.. =)
I wish there would be sometime that the town fiesta in Naic will be weekends so we are more happy.. =)

First Youth Camp (YFC HS Based)
Hmm.. This blog entry should be posted last week, but then, I just saw it now that it was just saved on my draft and was not published. By the way, this blog entry was about our first ever successful youth camp in our school!! Weeeh!!
Wooooh!! After 4 months of convincing Maam De Vera about this youth camp, finally, it was signed!! All of us, YFC members, of the school at that time, were really very happy!
It took so long for us to complete all the necessary files and documents needed before Ma'am De Vera signed the request letter. But then, were really really very happy after maam De Vera signed it. Then After that, we started evangelizing; we started to encourage others students(3rd yrs & 4th yrs). Others really wanted to join us, but others just joined and registered because their friends would be joining.
The day before the camp, we were surprised. Ma'am May asked for a meeting together with us. And then, she told us the matter that Ma'am De Vera ask us to lessen the activities because the camp would just be 2 days & 1 night. (owww.. we were really disappointed to hear that..)
I just told myself that.. "bakit kung kelan bukas na yung activity, dun pa binago?.." But then, I also thought myself, "maybe it's just God's will. He knows what's best for us", And so, it's just ok. We planned again about the flow of activities and at first, we had a conflict because some activities are to be done at night and we do not know where and how can we insert it on the given time alotted for us. But then. That day also, we had arranged the schedule accordingly and we find any problem no more.
And there, November 27 comes.. In the morning, we had celebrated the Math Festival. On the afternoon, we were so worried because on the schedule we made, the youth camp will start at 5:30PM.. But the math fest ended almost 6PM. Ate witty and the other service team arrived. At first, we don't know what to do first because us service teams were really few. But then, we were able to manage it.
All of us service teams were so amazed to see that just on the first talk, most of the participants cried, especially during the group discussion while they were sharing. We were really amazed because the we knew already before that talk1 is so light and for me, yeah it's boring during my camp. But then, we can really feel God's love and His presence in our school during that talk.
And there, the camp was so memorable. After the talk3, I'm so happy. Why? It's because Kodie was one of my baby(a participant in my group) and during the one-to-one session, he told me that his friend was once became angry to him because he told his friend that he like his friend's girlfriend and so he courted her. His friend was still very angry to him even though it was 2 years after already. But then, after I had discussed the gifts of God to him, he had chosen the gift of Faith and he told me that he believed that if he has the gift of faith, he can have all the gifts.. After the sharing, I then closed it with a prayer of course but to my surprise, Kodie once again prayed and in his prayer, "Lord, bakit si Emer laging pinagprapray ako, pero yung sarili niya hindi niya pinagdadasal? Pero sige Lord, ipagdadasal ko nlang siya, kayo na pong bahala sa kanya Lord God...." And then after that, our group had our lunch, and once again, to my surprise, Kodie was shouting and shouting my name "Emer Emer!.." and running towards me and crying. When he was near me he jumped and hugged me, "Emer sabi ko sa'yo faith lang eh!! Faith lang!!.." Because I was surprised, I accidentally told him, "P*T*K! Anong kabadingan to?", then he replied, "Bati na kami nung kaibigan kong matagal nang galit saken!! Sabi ko sayo faith lang! faith lang kailangan ko!". Ohhh. It was so good to hear that. I can feel that the camp was really effective on their part. =)
And there, talk3;talk4 and now, talk5. The participants cried a lot during the reflection and they were surprised to see their parents come over(just like me during my camp..=) ) Us service teams were also touched and cried of what we saw. weeeeh!
After the camp, the participants have gone home together with their parents, while the service teams had our service meeting. During the meeting, kuya Norman told us, "Guys! We were so lucky and we were so blessed! Baket? Kasi kung nag 3-day camp tayo, walang kuryente! Mahihirapan ang mga participants, mahihirapan ang mga speakers sa gabi! Ang galing ni God diba? Praise God!".. The hair in my arms stood up as I realized that. Weeeeeh!! I really felt God's love for us!
After the meeting, we also left the school; contented and so much happy with no regrets. I may say that the camp was really successful!! Even though there are only few service teams, we had made it because we know that God is with us! Woooh!!!
"Iba pala yung pakiramdam na makita yung bunga nang pinaghirapan mo!.. Tapos lalo na kung yung pinaghirapan mo eh para pa kay Kristo!!" -sorry I can't translate it in English. xD
so happy.. =)

PT!!
Whoa!! It's now our PT! The day before it, I really studied hard! But then, our PT was not as hard as what I thought. (hehe..joke..) And oh, in the morning, my classmates told me that we will not have our PT in Advance Statisctics yet, but while we are having our Filipino PT, sir Ces entered the room and gave the copy of our exam to Ma'am May!.. waaaaahh!!
All of us reacted about what we saw. Because at first, we thought that we will not have our PT yet in stat, so, I think, almost all of us didnt study and prepare for it.
Naaah!.. And there, me too was not able to prepare for the exam in Stat, that's why.. I think i'll get zero!! I was not able to answer any item. I was really not prepared.. waaaahh!!
I hope, tomorrow, our PT in the five last subjects will be just easy.. =)
