" You and I know that........" My Alarm clock tone sounded. Still sleepy and my eyes are still closed. I checked my phone Darn it it's 5:30 A.M...... dropping my phone i continued to sleep bearing In mind 30 minutes. 30 minutes more... Then I opened my eyes.. can no longer take a second wave of sleep hehehhe..... I woke up quickly throwing my Blanket.... darn COLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...Ohh yeah it's the "Ber" Month again. Temperature going down. I stretched up a bit took a little weightlifting with 5 Kilos Dumbbells totaling 10 Kilos.Whiw thats enough for a morning excercise hehehhe. Getting my towel I went straight to the bathroom and took a Bath"............. "Shall I go to Kibungan Central or not" thinking twice if I have to go. I need to go and get a replacement for my Voters ID which I lost.After taking a bath ad changing clothes, I went to drink a hot chocolate..... Turning on my Laptop I saved all my Camera's Memory Card Content. .... Packing everything importantly the Affidavit of Loss.... Boom ready to go for a long trip....

Arriving at Dangwa Station I went straight to the ticketing booth
Me: " Manang Ticket kud ay pang kibungan"... (Ma'am Ticket For Kibungan)
Ticketwoman: "Asi daka idawtan si ticket sin Bus" (They will punch you a ticket on the Bus)

Proceeding to the the Bus I look for a Seating position where I can take Photos hehehehe. After waiting for an Hour the Bus started it's engine and the conductor calling the last shots. Still sleepy I took a Nap... Somewhere in Tomay La Trinidad Benguet the Conductor tapped my should.

Conductor: "Ameyam pay sir?" with a wide smile (Where are you going Sir?)
Me: "Asena adi kan seme sir adi hehehe, ed Central" (Don't call me Sir, I'm going to Central)

Tik! Tik! Tik! ... Tsak the Conductore gave me the ticket.. Whoa P150.00 was punched on the ticket...

I opened the window for some air... then the conductor came back and collected our fairs. Still Sleepy I closed the window and closed my eyes. Then Dreamworld here I am.......... An Hour passed I felt the the Road is becoming Bumpy I opened my eyes and ohh yeahh where am I???? just a quarter kilometer of rough road going down to the Municipality of Kapangan. Checking out the scenery I am too lazy to open my bag and get the camera and get a better Shot instead I took out the Point and Shoot camera and Started Taking some Shoots.

After taking some shot I felt tired so I kept the camera to it's place and took a nap again. Against the Bumpy Ride Going up From Balakbak Kapangan to Lower Sagpat Kibungan Benguet.

I woke up when I felt the Bust stopped, were in Saddle Kibungan Benguet. "Heps baka ada Chicks"..... I checked entrance and I saw elementary pupils entered the bus. Ahhhh... didn't saw that my seatmate has already arose from the bus so I was alone. A little elementary pupil came to where I was seated.... This is where the Real Story Begins:

Pupil: "Manong Ay waday Kadwam ay nantutukdo esna." (Manong is some one seated over here"
Me: "Me, maga yan itukdom edt" (No one, feel free to sit.)

Using my Point and shoot camera again, I begun taking shots again. I turned my head toward the Curious Pupil and I Smiled. I adjusted the settings to Vivid Color Selection and took a shot of the Pupil. Looking at her Innocent Face and Smile. I talked to her..

Me: "Sinoy nagan mo" (What's your name?"
Pupil: Frenilyn
Me: "Sinoy grade mo ngay?" (What's your grade?")
Frenilyn: "Grade One"
Me: "Pan is-iskwelaam?" (Where are you studying?)
Fenilyn: "Ed Saddle" With a smile (At Saddle)

The Schools Name is Saddle Elementary School:

Frenilyn

Me: "Sino ngay di laydem ay panbalinan no dumakdake ka?" (What do you want to become when you grow up)
Frenilyn : "Teacher kuma manong no waday pilak mi" (I want to become a teacher if we have money)

Posted Image

Then in Chorus the Pupils In Chorus Recited "PARA"

Frenilyn: "Sina kami manong" (Were alighting from here manong)
Me: "Aw may, esestem a ay man iskwela" I said.... (Yes and study hard)

The Bus Started to Move on. Toward Central Kibungan since were just Kilometers Away. Checking the Picture I took of this little Pupil made me think. "This Little Girl has a dream however, How did she manage to say " I want to become a teacher no waday pilak mi"... Maybe I was thinking so deep that I can't find a clear answer in a while.

Their are a lot fortunate pupils who are studying in exclusive schools. Many of them but few manage to Finish and reache their dreams of becoming some one in the future. Their are this less fortunate students who are walking kilometers away to attend school who have Big Dreams. Dreams that needs to be supported and fulfilled. As I am writing this, I was thinking of going back to that school and see what ever help we can bring.
