Baguio invasion

It's been two months since we attended a seminar entitled “National Seminar-Workshop on Current Trends and Issues in Language Teaching” held at Teacher's camp. This is our second time seminar about our specialization and like before, it also did something great to me.
I was really excited and looking forward for this event. Though it cost great deal of money, I didn’t have second thought on joining. I wanted to broaden my knowledge, experiences and intellectual growth. I was sure I would come although I wasn’t asking for my parent’s approval yet. We did all our best, grabbed our guts and tried to ask help from our loved ones. We were fortunate enough to make it. It’s indeed a luxury. I never regret it. I am willing to invest money no matter how it cost to achieve my greatest dreams. Besides, it’s the knowledge and wisdom that can never be stolen.(was afraid of the cute horse..wuuu..it's moving..)

I found the topic really interesting since it deals with the current trends and issues in language teaching. I also loved the place where it was held. We stayed there for about a week and I felt much relieved, far away with the worries brought by stress in school. Just like the first seminar we attended, we were the “youngest” participant and it felt good having the opportunity to be there and mingle with professionals.

We’re very thankful for having our professor Ms. Victoria S. Fernandez. Without her as our mentor, we would never be what we are now and know what we’ve learned from her and our other instructors. We owe them a lot for everything they have done and given.
The scarfs was given by Mam Vix. Hehe. She also gave her colleagues (our instructors in COE too). Plus, we brought them "pasalubongs". Hope they liked it, though not so expensive. =( I honestly almost spent all the money I had that time. No regrets though.

The speakers of the seminar were 2 from PNU and 1 from DLSU. I admired the second speaker most who’s from PNU. She delivered it well and had an interactive discussion. It was three-day seminar-workshop. I learned a lot from the activities and grateful I was to hear the voices of English sages. One day, I’ll become one like them, hopefully.

Of course, this long journey ain't enough without going to different tourist spots . We went around Baguio and deng enjoyed it. We tried cosplaying hehe, Ifugao dudes. (hahaha) It was really a remarkable experience.

Next time, hope no one would miss this one-of-a-kind experience. Remember, seize the day.. !!!
