Tuguegarao-Pagudpod Outing
August 16-18, 2010
(while awaiting board results para bumilis ang panahon)
D-mates with CP, Robert, PG, John Paul
It was two-three long months after ending internship, and D-mates and I made a study group, which we called SRC (aka Self-Review Center, headed by teacher Mace and Principal Moi hehe). As part of our program, it would end with a much-promised outing out of town. And since Charee's been inviting us for some time to visit Tuguegarao, we went! There was a promo, so off we went! We scheduled it after the boards, while awaiting the results of the board exams. To make the time pass easier, and at least to help us forget about things. Actually, for teacher Mace, it's supposed to be in "eternal state of drunkenness" to forget about the boards...
Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Charee, her family and friends (PG, JP and Robert) for the hospitality and the memories!
