My heart is dancing in beats as my auricle catches the melody of a sweet name, MIRANGAN.
And as every note hit, a sound of hope is being heard..
Aside from the fact that I gained 5 kg for a month ( Thanks to Ritzee and Jammy boy for the treats), I, for the first time in my life, experienced.. SUMMER LOVE. :)
I've got summer lovin' on..
1. The people of Mirangan.
I always end up in "near-tears face" whenever they visit us just to share some of their harvested goodies (Pineapples, Corn, Banana). Or even sharing their dinner with us (Still imagining the oh-so...TINOLANG MANOK and our "sipping" session while the heavy rain torments our roof). They shared laughter with us, even cried with us, watched us learning the "provincial-life". I'm happy that the constituents of this humble paradise learned to love us and accepted us with arms wide open. :')
2. The KIDS. :D
Every morning, they are in our door steps, all fun-packed to play with us. 'Though at times, it's energy-consuming, Sting/Cobra Energy Drink quenching and patience-retaliating, still I see them as bunch of happy goodies armed with "kakulitan". I miss their hugs already.. and their "kiddie pawis" smell. :D haha!
3. The RAIN! :)
I know that it's ironic, but, rain gives summer no excuses. and.. Alhamdulillah! :) because, if "ULAN, masaya ang MIRANGAN". :D Water is their no. 1 problem. The availability, accessibility and even the potability. So, whenever there's rain in Mirangan, a lot of us are thankful. In the city, we usually don't mind the "existence" of the rain (though some us love RAIN, I, for one). And at times, we get angry and irritated because it delays our works. I guess, we just need to open ourselves in a "broader way of thinking" and just be thankful.
4. THE FARM! :D
I was MYSTIFIED! For the first time, I got to experience "Farm Life" :D and it was a BLAST! We were invited by some kind farmers in our humble barangay. We surpassed hills and muddy trails just to be in their proud farm. And we regret not for the scenery and the experiences that we had washed the stress in us. :D We are very thankful to the Paniaguas for sharing these experiences to us. We were really thrilled. From the corn and pineapple picking, to surviving the sharp blades of pineapple leaves, from being "gidagat" in watching the kids climbing the Marang trees, and down to pond escapade! :D
5. being a future Medical Doctor (InshaAllah.. still praying)
Thru this one month experience, it strengthened my stand on becoming a doctor, someday. :) Helping those who are in pain and those who are in need gives me a certain feeling of satisfaction and at the same time, it fuels my curiosity on the realms of anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology and even in the dwelling of emotions and behavior. But above all, it made me realize the wonders that God can do. He never cease to amaze.
