LAST DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

Excited. Happy. Very happy. Up early, very early I must say. Our last day will be in Nueva Ecija, say what? I know, the best! Haha so yeah, I arrived at exactly 6am (taps shoulder) yes! What a perfect way to end my internship. J

Here are the things we did back in Nueva Ecija:

•          Surprised our former co-interns.
•          Ate lunch.
•          Assist our bosses.
•          Gave away the program and I.D.’s to the students.
•          Asked the students to fill up some forms.
•          Facilitated the Launching.
•          Gave away brochures and t-shirts.

 jj

      Our last day was a blast. Enjoyed seeing our new found friends (Jom and Teddy) again, had a chance to buy Nueva Ecija’s Silvanas for the first time. I’m glad to end our internship away from the city to do some field work and be able to facilitate a program launching. This is what I wanted to do after college, go out of town, out of the country, explore new places, do field work; do campaigns and stuffs, to reach out, make new friends, engage with different people. I love research but I love it more ‘pag may adventure na kasama. J

LAST DAY AT THE OFFICE.

No more paper works. Thank You Lord! We had a chance to engage with the people in the PSRS Division. And for the last time, we took pictures because it’s our final day. J

MGA HULING HABILIN NI MAMA BEKS.

It’s almost our last day in the office. Thanking the Lord that we are almost done. We had nothing much to do just prepared our internship requirements such as evaluation forms and computed the remaining hours we still have. Before going home, Ms. Beca approached us and spoke to us. We had a long nice talk with her. We talked about our lives, school, our upcoming graduation and many other stuff. I am thankful to have that great conversation with our boss.

And we’re done with the questionnaire! We presented it to Ms. Beca after printing it out. We each had a personal talk with her. She asked us how we assess the agency as a whole and the Policy Studies, Statistics and Research Division (PSRSD). Also, what part we did in the questionnaire and other questions regarding on how we can utilize and help the agency from doing future researches and data gatherings through the lessons we learn from school and throughout our internship. I really felt the motherly connection with our boss. She’s a very nice person and supervisor. I feel honored to serve her and the division with the best I can.

We started the day by working our minds off with the questionnaire. We’re doing both qualitative through interview guide and quantitative through survey forms. Our respondents will be center-based and street-based contact-cement users, experts from partner agencies and contact-cement manufacturers and their employees.

LAUGHS. FIVE MORE DAYS!

I greeted everyone a warm “Good Morning” —a great way to start the day right in spite of my wrong timing na asthma attack from yesterday. Five more days! And I’m seriously making me countdown. Its freaking cold in the office feels like winter in the Pacific Coast which is totally ironic haha! J

Had nothing much to do today just starting out making the questionnaire for the 5% Mustard Oil in Toluene-Contact Cement study they made years ago. And we’re hoping to finish it by tomorrow or at least by Monday.

ALMOST DONE.

We’re six days away from bidding DDB goodbye. Oh yes! Thank You Lord. Indeed, time flies so fast. Hindi ko na namalayan. J Not feeling good though. I feel really sick and sorry for myself. Can’t do anything for today but just observe.
