the Jeonju international and local food festival
when was my last post? it was last week i guess, today i am going to post another one...
yesterday we joined the international and local food festival here in jeonju city.we were informed about it when we had our one-night -two days activity in the catholic church..i didn't want to join .it's alot of fuss..honestly i avoided the topic,why?because last year,we had also a festival where only few of us joined..i was too tired,i couldn't do anything,because i was assigned,and as a way to thank our social welfare branch helping us, i accepted the challenge..,it was a fund raising project. i couldnt sleep until almost 4 am....that was last year,and we did it for the filipino community we are in..in the catholic church....me and some of our colleagues joined....maybe 6 of us....i told ate emie that time,i wouldnt want to join again or participate,because it's only us who experience difficulty ..for the whole community...
this time, we joined again...our leader endorsed us...it's not easy...she said " just to have participant fromjeonju"..you know it's a kind of irritating,because nobody supported us....there were only the 3 of us.ate emie,ate gie and me...and of course our social welfare leader mr.park,but he was there only after we brought things into our tent.we prepared suman, i would be posting some pics in my photo section..
but even if it was disappointing that nobdy supported us from the filipno community from jeonju,there was fun too..ate gie and I joined singing.and we won a bag of rice each,then we got some gift certificates,and the cash..that's the consolation we got from joining,sana next year naman iba naman galing sa grupo namin from jeonju ang mag join....
when i was the leader of our community and there were festivals like that,i was always there,with our priest.....i even took my kids with me when i joined or take care of our booth till night time,kasi nga ako ang leader.....i even went to seoul to the philippine embassy with our priest to borrow some materials to be used for the festival.when there were prayer meetings and bible sharing,i was there.with my kids.of course i was busy but i gave it a time....i gave my time.......unfortunately...most of the people in my communtiy misunderstood me..during my term,it was me who used to prepare snack after the mass,it was only me who cleaned after the mass,almost everyone else would hurriedly go home fast or go to downtown...without thinking i was alone cleaning everyone else's mess...it was always me and my kids left after the mass....there was some money that time,i used to use to buy food and snack...some of my colleagues thought i used the money.how could i do that...yes. i had a problem before,but i managed to get out of it....we managed to get bakc to where we were before..and all the way.i didn't ask for anyone's help,because it was my problem,and i have to solve it....until they misinterpreted me....many still misinterpret me..kasi daw tactless ako.....kasi daw mayabang ako...hindi ako mayabang,i am just honest....
anyway...i agreed to have the leadership changed because i was hearing a lot of bad things about me...some below the belt...most were hurting... and i was hoping too to pass the responsibility to another person...i am always here to support... during the daance performance in kimje,i was there to support,kahit malayo yun...because i want my colleagues to feel my suport,that i am here...always .......as a sister.as a friend.....
