An activity was prepared, hosted by students from Cavite State University. Although they pretty much kept things together, we tried our best to help out on the preparations. The patients really enjoy activities. Not sure if it's because we give them food after, which motivates them, or is it because they wanted something to do to past time. Either which it brings smile to everyone's faces and it's nice hearing the constant thank yous you'll know are true and from the heart.

No activities for today but we used the time to plan our farewell for the next day. And as usual, I asked the patients how they are feeling at the moment. I do this everyday but strange how this time I felt sad that I won't be able to talk to them like this anymore. I guess the place really left an impression to me. One patient even went to me and gave me words of wisdom to bring as I go through my life, reaching my dream of becoming a medical doctor. He ended our conversation by saying "Pagdadasal kita, Ahj. Nakikita ko namang mabuti kang tao." which really meant a lot to me. I hope they all do well in the future. Besides, the world is not that big for us to not see each other again. :')

So today is the awaited end of our training. The feeling was not how I expected it to be. I thought it would be happy but it wasn't entirely. I'll miss everyone. The patients, the new friends, the people who work there and even the neighborhood. One thing I'll never forget during my stay there was how people ALWAYS feed me: from the first time I set foot in that clinic, being offered RC by a patient, to eating left over food from the prepared activity by different schools. Not only did my weight grow but also the relationship I had with each one. Haha. :)
