Coastal Clean Up Drive

What's up hive fam!! It's been a while since I've uploaded my last blog here due to busyness.And yes, here I am again back with another blog!Hope you'll still support me🤗.

A day before Saturday whereas the day before our Civil Welfare Training Services or the CWTS class schedule. Mrs.Martha Ylanan our Civil Welfare Training Services instructor sends us a message in our group chat that we will be having a coastal clean up drive on the upcoming Saturday in the morning at exactly 5:00 a.m we were going to the venue that will be held at Baranggay Sambag,Bogo,City, Cebu in the private cemetery area whereas there are lots of people living in that specific coastal area.Hence,to be honest as what I've heard or the humors that's totally spreading across the campus that the coastal area were we're going to clean up is something that is not good.All their trash is directly going to the river and when it is low tide the trashed will remain in their area that's why its very filthy.

On Saturday,at exactly 2 am,I was awaken by the alarm.I set an alarm clock for me to be able to get up early because our call time will be at exactly five in the morning.When I'm awaken I immediately get a piece of paper and pen and after that I hurriedly write the parents consent that was sent by our instructor.I wasn't able to print the parents consent due to the lack of time and I was too busy preparing for an exam.Okay back to the main chika haha.After I wrote the parents consent I go to the comfort room to take a bath.Even if I don't want to take a shower but yeah it's very needed to freshen up myself before going to my campus. After I'm done taking a bath I immediately get dressed up as simple as it is (making myself up).I wore jacket because its very cold outside since it's dawn.

Later on, my mother awake due to the alarm that kept on buzzing and I forgot to turn it off.And since she's awake so she helped me with the stuff that was not prepared yet.After everything goes well then we leave the house and go to the outside to wait for the bus to passby so that I can go to my campus because its been already four in the morning close to five.

Perhaps while waiting for the bus,I was amazed looking to the beautiful moon and seeing the colourful clouds that shines brighter than my future ( lol Hahahaha).

Few moments of waiting the bus came,but apparently my mother won't allow me to go for some reason that she said"its too early for you to go in your campus,it's very dim"...So I waited again for another bus.Well i didn't resist for what my mother said because as what everyone says that "Mothers knows best".

> While waiting again for another bus,my very own supportive,caring and all in one mother,started sharing her chikas to me.

After a few minutes of our mother and daughter chissmissan.We moved in to other place since the sky gets brighter because we are almost waiting for half of an hour.A moment of time and yes the bus came up and I said goodbye to my mother before entering the bus.While riding the bus I was amazed looking to the nature especially when the sub came up I felt relieved even if I know to myself that I was indeed late hahaha.

> Shine bright like a diamond hahaha🤭
The glamorous beauty of sky is totally perfect and it's kinda giving.
When I arrived in bogo I ride again with another motorcycle to reach the area where we were doing our clean up drive.I feel terrible with myself knowing thst I am late plus I don't know the place yet because it's kinda new to me.So what I did is I've tried asking the manong driver where is the riza's store ( that was my friend tell me that you will go forth to riza's store ). As being an independent woman you must obliged to conduct queries for you not be able to get lost if ever.And thankfully there's someone new where that placed is.When I reached riza's store I buy first a facial mask for protection against the deadly smell.While waiting for my facial mask,one of my classmate arrived and me thinking that I have no pair in picking up the trash so why grabh the chance to be my partner because based on what I see in her face when she arrives ,she doesn't know who is her partner.Or maybe i guess her partner doesn't arrived yet.When I tried to approach her and ask her my plans,luckily she agreed with it and my hint is perfect!Afterwards we came together to the area since we heard lots of voice /people that keeps on chatting with each other.As we passby to the cemetery I feel like the ambiance is not good.What I did is ignore what I felt and keep going until we reached the area.

I am impressed to the students who started doing their business while me and my pair are just starting doing our task.A its a sort of gross because the area is very stinky.The smell will penetrate to your mask.

Haloo ate kharylle my unexpected partner🤭

Our coastal clean up drive is needed to be documented because it is part of our activities and for the sake of our grades.At first I don't like it because I couldn't help myself get vomited due to the smell but a moments of doing our task I just ignored it and enjoy my first experience cleaning in coastal area.After ten minutes of filling our sacks of trash its all really befilled.So we stop picking trash and go to oyr instructor to check our finished work then we go to riza's store area to place our sacks that is full of trash.

And I go forth to my friends to enjoy their bonds.We shared lots of our expectations,realization and experiences towards the activity.And i guess we all have the same thoughts about that area.I must agree with what I've heard about the humors spreading to that certain place and its kinda devastating.It feels like they didn't loved our mother earth and its soo sad.I hope and pray that they will change throughout their bad habbit in throwing their trash in the river.
