OT entrepreneur interview

Our professor gave us a deadline to pass the OT entrepreneur interview this coming second week of August. Our group had just finished an interview with Mike Sy. Yes, he is the same person who treated me (and the other OTSA officers) in World Chicken~! Hahaha I want to thank him so much for the great food last saturday. Anyway, all we need to do is have another shooting at "Prime Movers Review Center" and edit the video. I don't want to cut his statements, really. His words are so inspiring! And it's another sad thing that we need to keep the output confidential. I really would like to make his presence known to all. It's not that he's not noticeable. It's just that I would really love to make him known to everyone who doesn't even know his name. Like that kind of feeling. I feel like some kind of proud mom (but heck! I am so not!)

Well, till my next post~! Celebrate NDPR week with us~!

OTSA Constitution

Today, the OTSA officers had a meeting in MOA and I was late for like 30 minutes (I think?). I should've really estimated the time when I left the apartment. One should always leave time for natural delays (e.g. stuck train) I kind of ran to the meeting place, which was Cheesecake Cafe by the way. There were only four (4) of us available at that time and I was kind of sad that we were so few. I ought to ask where were the others but I held back my question. What if they were late as well? But when it came to me when we were deciding the "quorum" already - that 4 officers are needed to reach it - I have learned to myself that we truly were the only ones meeting that day. So I let the question out of the bag, "Kuya Mike, tayo lang po bang apat ngayon?" He responded yes. Cha and Tanya wasn't able to come because they had something up. Tanya, specifically, was by her father's side because he was in a critical condition. I pray for his recovery. I really do hope that we will be complete next time.

Anyway, we discussed the OTSA constitution in the meeting. It was excellent work but had some flaws. Luis, our chairman, pointed out quite a number of them. I was amazed at how observant and critical he was. I should make him my sensei (hahaha). But of course, I've had my fair share in the discussion but not as expressive as chairman did. (I really do love to call him chairman~) I was a little worried about Maureen because she was so quiet during the meeting. I know she is in second year but I believe that whether you are young or not, you have the voice and probably ideas that differ from much experienced ones. I'll try and help her speak out more. (Well, not that I speak much but she's just more quiet)

I really love this job that Sir Mike Sy had organized. I knew the first time I had joined the meeting back in April, I want this kind of job. I really do! And I knew that whoever gets the External Vice President position in June would quit after hearing the responsibilities. But I never thought that Renniere Singh would even trade with me after just asking it once.

I foresee so much in this organization and I hope I will be able to contribute as much as I can. Although, I am afraid of having invested so much expectation in the future. Expectations can hurt you real bad...but I don't mind anyway.

ALYANA Trailer



Autism is widely seen in children and OTs handle them frequently in the pediatric setting. I just want to share this trailer of "Alyana", the first ever documentary about autism in the Philippines. Hope to watch it some time and share my point of view.
