Lyndon Speaks is now online.
Lakeside-Manila had just concluded its Outreach '08. It was a tree-planting activity at Norzagaray, Bulacan. After a 2-hour ride from Makati to Bulacan, we had some orientation about the activity. After some reminders, we had a 15-minute boat-ride (Was it just 15 minutes? 'cause our boat was slower than those that the others rode on! hahaha). The hike came after all were unloaded from the boats. I wasn't able to know how long the hike was, yet let me assure you that it was tiring but a lot of fun! No time was wasted, just right after the hike, we were once again oriented on how to properly plant the seedlings. I guess it took us an hour to finish planting all 500 seedlings (I wasn't again paying attention on the time! hahaha). We had a little rest before we went down to have some lunch. On our way down, some accidents happened. I know that because I, too, had one! hahahaha. But my hurting butt was nothing compared with what Fredo had! Worse, I had to see what happened because I was just behind him and Archie when the accident happened. The activity ended with our late lunch and some cleaning up. We left the place at around 4PM (and now I'm sure of the time! hahaha). On our way home, everyone had to deal with the annoying bus driver. hahha. The bus driver had plenty of worries which included MMDA officers arresting him for illegal unloading and worries on where to park while we buy some snacks! Annoying as he was, we managed to do those things: from unloading some of us on different bus stops up until buying some snacks at Jollibee. After a 3-hour ride, we (at least some of us) arrived at Makati and went home.
I really had a great experience yesterday! I may not have fully understood what the DENR folk said during the orientation ('cause I wasn't listening.. hahaha), but I'm sure that what we did there was something great - great not only for us but most especially, it was for the best interests of our children's children!
I really had fun with everyone!!!
With all of these said, I guess that it's high-time for me to get some rest! I promise to share with you more happenings, experiences, and personal thoughts in the coming days! 'til next time!
Green on!
