today i went with jer, angelo and cas to the Psych Dept talk on Post-Trauma Debriefing or Counseling for Ondoy SURVIVORS. The psych dept pushes the idea of calling them "survivors" instead of "victims". It's a more positive term. cas says it's the politically correct term. bwahaha.
talk by Sir Weavens Ty infairness, i like the talk. people always have this connotation that counseling is giving advices to the counselee. actually no, the survivors at this time need people to listen to them. it's not the time to say "kaw kasi! nung umaakyat na yung tubig di ka pa umalis!" or "kung ako sayo pupunta nalang ako sa kamag-anak ko" and stuff like that.
three phases of counseling: facilitation, transition and actionsabi nga sa philo, yes we're all experiencing the aftermath of ondoy, but is it really possible to be able to say "i know exactly how you feel.." to someone? have you experienced Ondoy specifically and particularly in the way the survivor has experienced it? sometimes, the best thing we can do is to just listen. :)
after the talk, we went back to the covcourts and assigned ourselves back to the clothing area. after all, it's the only area where we're good at. (MEH GANON!!! hahaha!)
instructions for the clothing area!!after a while, our breaks got more frequent. haha. because there were too many volunteers already. plus, they set up the large screen because the ADMU-EU Game 1 was on.
but after awhile, when the announcer was asking for volunteers no one was raising their hands anymore because they were watching the game nalang. sabi ni erick (yung announcer that time) "ah ganon! ayaw nyo mag volunteer! patayin nalang natin yung tv!!" bwahaha parang bata. so there. they turned the tv off, but the small tv was still on. so he kept announcing the score and the happenings of the game while the people were still working. :)
we were then assigned to sorting clothes. basically, we had to sort them according to women's tops, bottoms, men's tops, bottoms, underwear, children's clothing, shoes, bags, socks. it was actually fun. a department store sent over 10+ boxes of shoes and clothes, which we gladly sorted. they were all new, still with tags. :) thank God for beautiful souls. :) yung iba kasi magdodonate na nga lang, wla pang pares yung sapatos at mukhang basahan na yung mga damit. guys, TAO ANG SUSUOT NON. okay. :)
they turned the tv back on during the 4th quarter. what can we say, WE WON! :) after the game, we got back to working. we jumped at any task that needed volunteers, mostly assembly lines.
after dinner, we went back to the dorm to get my laptop and watched GLEE episodes 1 and 2 in the SocSci foyer. HAHA. we returned to the covcourts at around 930 and continued working. we volunteered na for anything, di na kami namili. HAHA. there won't be any relief operations tomorrow because PEPENG, the incoming typhoon is of a higher category, so everyone's expecting the worst. so basically, the people were just re-arranging the goods, covering them with tarps and cloths so that it won't get wet, receiving more donations (the goldilocks truck came by and donated lots and lots of bread wooh!) and making lots and lots of assembly lines. i think Atenistas are super good na at assembly lines. HAHA. makes lives easier. :)
true friends kate and ate virr in the assembly line. :)
the huge huge huge huge huge huge huge tarp enough to cover the whole wall of a 10 storey building used to cover the piles of rice. to protect it from the rain. we had to remove it to put tela over the rice. kasi. if the tarp gets wet, the ink might wash off the tarp and toxicate the rice beneath it. SO, we had to put tela pa over the rice packs, and then returned it back on top. complicated much! :) naman! we don't want to give away toxicated rice noh!
also, thank you to Starbucks who donated coffee for the volunteers!! :) everyone crowded over the receiving area just to get coffee. we'll definitely be awake till 2012. haha.
sir jet!
sir jet and sir tatot were the hosts/announcers for the night. sabaw kung sabaw and funnny! hahaha. they were having a contest to see who makes the most creative acronym out of ONDOY and PEPENG (the incoming typhoon). In fairness, ONDOY was nice.
Our Nation Depends On You. WOOH!
PEPENG had lots of contenders.
People Enjoying Packing Extremely Nice Goods. HAHAHA not bad.
People Experiencing Patriotism Especially Now, GO! HAHAHA pilit!? haha
but this won. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Please Everyone Pray Every Night - God
There won't be any relief operations tomorrow because it is advised that everyone stay in their houses or in any safe place because PEPENG is a category 5 typhoon (whatev that means, it sounds dangerous). It will resume as soon as this hulabaloo is over, so just stay tuned to your facebook and yahoogroups emails.
STAY SAFE EVERYONE. stock up na. buy food, water and candles. but as much as possible, don't go out na. to those who were flooded, try to evacuate your first floor na and save what you can. charge your phone batteries so that you can contact people in case anything happens. also, PLEASE EVERYONE PRAY EVERY NIGHT-GOD. :) :) :)
