RED RAINFALL ALERT!


Last night, I heard someone knocked our door hurriedly so I opened the door, she was worried while handing her phone over me so I took a look she told me that her roommate got this message 





I told them I will asked my friend about this, and she said that it’s normal here in the Philippines it’s just an alert message from the disaster cooperatives, they will send this message every time there’s heavy rain or thunderstorm, that was such a relief for us to to know that. We were afraid something bad would happened during our program here, but thanks God nothing bad happened.

Today Hani and the other friend came to pick us up, so when I walked with Hana I asked her “Are we going to UST first?” Cause our supervisor told us that today we’re going to our assigned school, the Dominican School. Well, that was actually a mistake, my roommate and the thomasian had miscommunication cause we were actually instructed to be picked up at 8.45 am by our supervisor luckily we met them across the street, so we’re coming with them to the Dominican school. The first person we met is the security guard ”the kuya” kuya is how we call older guys in filipino. We met with the sister, and the vice principal we were talking about education in Indonesia, and the education in the Philippines, then we met with our cooperating teacher, but we haven’t got time to talk with our cooperating teacher cause they still have class, the vice principal, Mr. Kenny showed us around the school, we went upstair to the second floor, we went to the teacher’s office and to the library I love how

I need to wait for Mam Prado because She got stuck in a traffic, She arrived at class immediately and started the class with praying and tell the students to arrange their seats cause their friends is going to practice the Dulaang Kamang in front of the class. Mam Prado showed me the things she brought to school, She said she brings a lot green pens “ What pen color do you use in Indonesia?” “ Is it red?” She added “ We use green pens now, cause I read that the red pens make the student feel down especially when they failed” “We’ll go upstairs Mam Icha” She smiled.

I am staying with Ria and Kandi and the rest of our friends paired up with the other friends with the same major. We woke up early to make sure that we're not late in our first day. Around 7 the ten of us already well dressed with our alma mater and those two from Thailand wearing their uniform that I’ve only seen in a Thailand movies, the white shirt and the black shirt.
