After 2 months of thinking and deliberating, our center finally decided to conduct our monthly meeting this July 27, 2008 at our office. This meeting was set for the following reasons:

a. To talk;
b. To tackle; and
c. To Mingle.

Any other analogous or related terms to the abovementioned agenda is appreciable but as you can see, our purpose is to meet. NYAHAHAHA..

So hopefully everybody can attend the said meeting. Underlying those agenda is a very IMPORTANT MATTER to discuss. We are just trying to put a mask agenda just to see is you will come or not. This is a test, this is your preliminary exam. So we are expecting everyone to visit our newly transferred office for the said meeting.

SO NONSENSE!

By the way, here is the gist of our blog post, we will be having our Month of July meeting this July 27, 2008, 2PM in the afternoon at FPOP Office, Bajada (near autoshop), 3rd Floor of Shiela Magpale Saloon, just ask where is the entrance from the person who is selling in the store beside the said saloon.

DTC Summer Outing 2008 at Angels Hideaway

Part of an annual activity and summer closing salvo of Davao Teen Center is through dipping for the last time (last weekend of summer in reality), in beach. Last year, it was conducted in somewhere of Samal (i don't know exactly the name of the resort basta walking distance siya from the barge [is my spelling correct?] na nagyawyaw si Chad ug Jupanie kay dili jud daw siya walking distance). So 3rd world.. ahaha.. anyway, going back, this time, year 2008, the activity was conducted in Angels Hideaway of Matina Aplaya, Dumalag.

It was attended by some (since not all of them attended it compare to last year.) members of the center. More or less there are twenty people who visited but not all of them stayed in the said event.


Despite of these numbers, the quality and enjoyment are still the same with the previous outing.

The traditional "tubig-tubigay" was again played but we didnt finish it because of the lack of space so the body decided to play shagidi-shagidi. Unfortunately, it turned out with same output with the previous game so we finally resolved to play hep hep horray! ahaha..

Afterwhich, out of very creative mind of people, some of them shifted to play an impromptu and maximization play.

Anyway, i dont want to story the whole happenings of the said activity since these are the consequences of the people who were not able to attend. So we will be giving you the benefit of the doubt to think imaginatively what really transpired in the activity! BLEH!

Just a small preview, here are the pictures...

Mami, naunsa ka? namaligya og mangga? ahahah.. actually, they are posing as if they are model of the bayong.. ahahaha.. Tanawa si madam, murag dili pud siya prepared and gisundog jud niya ang trademark pose ni mami nga murag nanampiling.. ahahah..

Two are looking UP, while the remaining are trying to make their selves photogenic. CLEAVAGE ang labanan mi.. ahahaha..

Of course, overnight will not be called as such if there will be no sleeping moments. So here are some of the preview pictures of people trying to sleep despite of the external noises.. ahaha..

And the Blooper effect...

Pacute Moments by some of the People..

Kaon Effect also is the added value of all outing...

and lastly, beach outing cant be called as such, again, if there will be no pictures in the beach area.. YOOHOO..!
Well, that are the glimpse of our pictures in our outing. Hope to see everybody in the next years outing.! Ahehe..

And of course, we will not forget some of the quotable quotes like

"Ayaw kaayo..!"
"Precisely!"
"Your so Third World!"
"OMG, Nabuak nako ang Creamsilk ni eM-aR!"
"Hep! Hep! Horay!"
"Oi, Imong beinte, ayaw kalimti!"
"Ayaw Kong Magisip!"
"Wierd Kaayo noh.!"

Ahahaha..

Anyway and anyhow, We are all students again and we hope to continue our effort in serving our fellow young people. Just manage your time and everything will be okey.

Good Luck.!



P.S. For the pictures of the outing, just look at the right side of our blog and you will see the picture section, just click the appropriate site and link of your request. Take Care!

DTC facilitates the ASRHR Workshop in Cebu

This video was made out of pictures and memories made by Davao Teen Center (DTC) to members of YKonek in Region 6 and Region 8. This activity was conducted last May 26-30, 2008 at Golden Prince Hotel and Suites, Cebu City. DTC was tapped as resource person for ASRH workshop to 24 participants coming from the aforementioned region of the Philippines.

It was a week full of happiness and enjoyment however, after this self-fulfilling activity, it brought us to bid farewell to our newly organized ASRH advocates.!

Continue serving your Fellow Young People!
