Half a month into Kawayan Camp, I am:Â
- sunburned and evading bugs that biteÂ
- speaking English a lot… saken naassign yung Korean na camper e
- very well-fed and am among the few counselors NOT on a diet and still eating
riceeverything - learning to understand (and speak?)Â Hiligaynon and Cebuano
- back to wearing a tubao and baggy clothes
- falling asleep 0-5 seconds after lying down
- having a breather from special events… but wait, there is more next week!!!
- appreciating siesta time
- enjoying throwing questions at my students about OIA (inductive Bible Study)
- in demand for my massages
- washing a lot of dishes while singing Sunday school songs
- realizing the difficulty of keeping teenagers attentive. the secret is to feed them well
- chasing the paka, the tuko, and the pabo
- having KC reunions with West V people after 5 years (waaah Jason at last!!!)
- doing a lot of praying (please Lord don’t let it rain…)
- thanking God that I am with Kuya Mark and Vina (boom!)
- being reminded of lessons learned about personhood, KOG, LCMS, etc.
- memorizing memory verses creatively… i especially liked like this one:
I lift up my eyes to the hills –
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip –
He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, He who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you –
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm –
He will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forever more.

Aww…ang saya-saya!
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you could only …
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
