Last week I started my internship at the Naga College Foundation! The graphic designer responsible for all things paper-promotional-material recently resigned and since then the school has been outsourcing these assignments. It so happens that this is my major and I have been searching for an internship. brilliant. My first assignment is a poster advertising enrollment for our elementary department. It is mostly finished, but waiting on a few textual context changes. Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful. (: My boss is Ate Shielo (Villanueva), my cousin! After my first day of work, she took me to the mall. Her husband, my cousin, Kuya Wesley is the manager of the mall and he gave me a behind the scenes tour. First we went into the movie theatre's film projection room. So exciting! And something I never thought I'd be able to see! Then to the mall employees' offices, the generator room, aand the helipad on the roof where the mall owner flies in by helicopter every so often for mall inspection. We climbed onto the helipad and although I am not afraid of heights, it was scary. It is a large flat circle with no railing and has a view of all of Naga City. After my tour, I was treated to a diniguan.. pig blood soup! I assured my family upon arrival that my goal was to fully embrace my filipino heritage and I would not hesitate to try any exotic cuisine. I passed my first test- the diniguan was pretty good! That night, we celebrated Lolo Juni's 74th birthday with chinese food and chocolate cake. On Sunday I attended Sovereign Grace Fellowship. Everyone was welcoming and I am so blessed to be sitting under solid, biblical preaching in a foreign country. The church invited me to their upcoming day retreat on Friday and the pastor who preached my last Sunday at Moonwalk will be preaching at the retreat. Lord willing, I will be attending this also and I am looking forward to it!

You're very brave to be trying those foods. Was it good? Is all the food good?
ReplyDeleteThe diniguan was interesting to try.. it didn't taste bad, but it was very thick and rich which grossed me out. Most of the food is great! (:
