TIDAL OBSERVATION in Sariaya, Quezon

Indeed, it was great to spend time with people who share the same interests as you do – who jams with the music you like, eat the food you like – people whom you could freely laugh your heart out with.

Dominggo, March 13 – Mobilization kunohay. Gibati pa tawn kog pamugnaw niadto sa dihang miabot cla Kiko og Ruby ann aron kuhaon ang mga gibiling instrumento sa balay aron dalhon sa Sariaya, Quezon. Maayo nalng nadala nako ang akong jacket kay bugnaw jud intawn kayo ang aircon sa bus. Alas 12 sa udto nakaabot kami sa Sariaya. Diretso mi sa balay ni Kuya Barok. Og sa dihang, wala diay tawo sa ilang balay. Wala ang iyang asawa. Haha. Naniudto mi sa balay sa iyang inahan, who entertained us so well. Gitabangan pa kami nya actually sa pagpangitag balay nga katulgan og beach nga kaobservahan sa among tidal. Didto nako hinay-hinay nga nailhan ang mga tawo nga I believe has just become part of my life (syempre, pirmi nimo clang kauban sa trabaho – part na sa life, di ba?.hehe).

It was fun watching Ate Lala scream when crossing a tiny canal and a river in getting to Paraiso beach resort. Haha. Kakatuwa na cute. The beach resort was good – safe for everyone, hindi kasi “kantilado”. With a swimming pool na walang masyadong naliligo at the time of our stay - (natakot daw kasi ang mga parokyano ng resort dahil sa tsunami) – kung kaya naman inangkin namin ang swimming pool ng resort! Haha.

72 hours of observation...san ka pa? at every 15 minutes mong babasahin ang reading ng rod. Si Machele at Kuya Alex sa umaga, kami naman ni Kiko, Ruby, at Ate Lala sa gabi. Haha. Kakapagod but then enjoy naman kami sa panonood ng Glee sa laptop ni Kiko. Yun nga lang, nabibitin cause every 15 min kailangan mong lumusong sa tubig para basahin ang reading ng rod. Magdamag kang pa-lusong2x sa tubig.

Huwebes, end ng observation pero naa pa diay pakapin nga leveling... og GPS observation. Ug sa dihang alas 9:30 na nahuman ang GPS obsevation. Sa Batangas City port ang among point. Ug tungod sa kalaay didto gihimo og gipasundayag ang Concert ni "Kiko and Abai", with only one audience -- si Ate Lala. Haha. Included in the repertoire were songs by the famous Boybands of the 90s...Boyzone, Boyz2men, Westlife og uban pa. haha.

Mga tomjones nah... just look at Kiko.

Ginabi na po kami...Dito kami nag concert ni Kiko

It was so nakakapagod kasi wala pa kming mga tulog. After kasi ng duty namin di na kami natulog in the morning dahil nag leveling pa. And in the afernoon, diretso nang GPS Observation. Di pa namin naabutan ang 10PM trip pa Maynila kung kaya nagantay pa kami ng next trip -- 11PM. I was so tired, kung kaya nakatulog ako sa bus (na hindi ka madalas ginagawa). Nagising nalang ako ng nasa Ortigas na kami. Diretso sa office nang parang nakalutang. 30 hours na walang tulog. At may pasok pa kinabukasan. Hooh...

But it was worth it all. Ang saya ng experience.

And from the "Glee" movie marathon that we had during the night hours, I came to love and learn the song "I look to you" sung by Amber Riley on the "Glee" show.

I Look To You lyrics


As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all


Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?


Chorus:
I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you


Have to lose my breath
There's no fighting left
Sinking to rise no more


Searching for that open door


And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head


Chorus:


My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!
