10 QUESTIONS FOR A JEEPNEY BARKER

QUESTION 1: Ilang taon ka na? (How old are you?)
JUN-JUN: Ten. (Ten.)
QUESTION 2: Matagal ka na ba nagtratrabaho bilang barker? (Did you work as a barker for a long time already?)
JUN-JUN: Kakasimula ko pa lang po. Nagsimula ako nung nine years-old po ako. (I just started when I was nine years-old.)
QUESTION 3: Nag-aaral ka ba? (Do you go to school?)
JUN-JUN: Hindi na po. Tumigil na. Nahihirapan po kasi sila nay at tay sa pagpapaaral sa aming magkakapatid. (Not anymore. I already stopped. My parents are having a difficult time sending me and my siblings to school.)
QUESTION 4: Lahat kayong magkakapatid huminto na sa pag-aaral? (You and all of your siblings stopped receiving formal education?)
JUN-JUN: Yung kuya ko na lang po. Siya po ung panganay. (My eldest brother still goes to school. He is the first born.)
QUESTION 5: Anong grade ka tumigil? (At what grade level did you stop?)
JUN-JUN: Grade 5. (Grade 5.)
QUESTION 6: Hindi ka ba nahihirapan kasi ang bata mo pa lang pero nagtratrabaho ka na? (Aren’t you having a difficult time working since you are still young?)
JUN-JUN: Tinitiis po kasi kailangan. (I suffer but I just deal with it since I need to work.)
QUESTION 7: Magkaano naman kinikita mo kapag napupuno mo ang isang jeep? Tapos, nakakailang jeep ka sa bawat araw? (How much do you earn daily? Then, how many jeepneys are you able to fill each day?)
JUN-JUN: Sa isang jeep, inaabot lang sa akin, sampung piso hanggang bente pesos. Depende kasi sa driver. Ung iba masungit. Marami akong napupuno na jeep araw-araw. (For one jeepney, I earn ten to twenty pesos. It depends on the driver. Other jeepney drivers are unkind. I fill many jeepneys averyday.)
QUESTION 8: Kung mabibigyan ka ng pagkakataon magaral ulit, papasok ka ba? (If you were given the chance to go to school, will you study?)

THE MILK STATION

After the MoalBoal trip we had a stop over at the famous MILK STATION.

YES I did this. Someone was inside before me. lol

I want this.

Bahay Kubo in MoalBoal II

We had a bon fire just to make the night like the other nights in movies. hahaha!

I woke up early and found this cute little creature.

Since the tide is high and the water is clear they’ve decided to get in the water. FUN! After this we had our lunch and we packed up and went home.

It was again JOJIES day. The plan started on Nida’s graduation celebration, we planned that since most of us graduated 4 years of classes, exams and staying up late in College, should have a summer outing. The date was not final yet until on the day of my Graduation Celebration, It is on the 30th of April and 1st of May. Since Nida and Gail can’t come on that day because they will be filing they’re PRC’s we were a little bit upset for not being complete. Few days after that Rommel, Brussel and I can’t go either because we will also be filing our PRC’s, the situation was upset to depressed. Good thing God moves in mysterious ways, all of us can go in a sudden! Good thing I have classmates to help me, good thing the staff in Sotto was not able to sign Gail’s forms, good thing Nida has no Review on that day and GOOD THING we can all go!Anyways here are the Photos.

Familiar venue? I think the structure of the building is known, don’t have to mention it, but it is somewhere in A.S fortuna! haha! this was our meet up place. As usual 7am became 8am.

We had to stop here. Stretch our legs, to pee and breathe!

Jul and Gail sitting comfortably at the front seat.

Look at the clock behind them. 25 minutes before 11 but we still have 2 hours trip to go before we reach the Haven.

This is the Bahay Kubo that we were staying for 2 days and 1 night. Believe it or not 14 people was able to fit and all of us slept comfortably. I don’t know with them but I slept like a baby! haha! This were the cars that delivered us to our destination. Thanks to Emman and Jett.

Unfortunately the dagat is hubas.

Ou BB’s! jul’s, Brue’s and mine.

And Finally! Lunch!

Since we can’t enjoy in the water, Staying under the sun was fun.

Loving Jovi’s Tattoo!

Then Sunset came. Wait for the Part 2 of the trip.

love the details (Jacket: H&M)

Finals week is finally over. And we are up to have fun, off course with few classmates and some friends, dancing is like our stress therapy. :)

Ate some mexican dishes to fill our hungry stomach and dance our hearts out. ♥
