Changing The World, One Pencil At A Time: Run For Pencils Project
Changing The World, One Pencil At A Time: Run For Pencils Project
(G.Gayao)
Kid: I love to run in circles. I love to run freely, rain or shine. I love to run after the butterflies.
Teenager: I need to run after the ball. I need to run away for a little while. I want to run away… with you.
Adult: I run to burn the extra pounds. I run for good health. I run for my life!
Whatever stage a person is in life, that person always run for a reason, whether the reason is good or not. And more often than not, even though most running events are tied up to a cause, runners always run for their personal benefit.
On 5, 6 and 20 March 2011, a group of running enthusiasts will literally hit the road for the Bataan Death March Ultramarathon 102k, Unilab Run United 1 and The Bull Runner Dream Marathon events, respectively. As each runner embarks on their personal goals, they have also decided to achieve the goal of Black Pencil Project (BPP) in changing the world one pencil at a time. It is BPP’s mission to reach out to every Filipino child in the far-flung communities around the Philippines. And these runners will partake in the advocacy to promote learning to early learners of the Mangyan tribes in Mindoro.
How? And what has running got to do with promoting learning?
A political figure once said that it takes a community to raise a child. And most runners will say that they never run alone.

just simply being me
These past few months, so many things happened to my life. A very roller coaster feeling, sad, happy, confused, complicated, excited, fullfilled and others.
May – met my long time friend, and happily he become my boyfriend (for being single of many years, yes I’m in a relationship :) )
June – one of the best birthdays I ever had, first time to visit Bohol and Cebu. I also treat my parents for my father 66th birthday in Cebu (there first time to ride on an airplane)
July – saddest part as I need to be far away to my BF, its hard since I’m still adjusting from being single into in a relationship then being alone again. He leaves me because he needs to work abroad.
August – emotional struggle, have to decide for my future. Go with my work application abroad, in other company locally, or in other department only. I just want a new environment, new work, and new challenges. I decided to just transfer to other department, same company where I’m in, at first I was not allowed to transfer since one of my colleague resigned, so ok, I accept it. Since I just want something new, I decided to rent a room near in our office, yes after 6 years of working, travelling everyday from Bulacan to Quezon City, I tried to board. My first time to live away from our home after 29 years of existence.
September – confused moment, HR called me and informed me that my application to transfer to other department was approved by our Division Head. Hmmm, confused because my Boss, my Department Head, and other spoke to me not to push through my transfer (I understand their reason, and it’s hard for me to decide). I talked to my Kuya (my ever reliable confider) and some of my friends, all of them say, do what I want to do. So I push through my application, already talked to HR and my future boss (and I know, the new job will be very challenging to me). So I know I have to leave again the boarding house since I will transfer to our other office next month. I will have to buy a new set of dress, from NOC Engineer (super casual wear) to Customer Engineer (corporate attire), a different world, hopefully I can make it, I should do.
- Complicated also as I don’t have communication with my BF, I missed him.
- Excited and fulfilled, as I climbed a mountain, yes I did it. My first climb at Mt. Tapulao ( i will write a blog on this)
I’m looking forward for the next month, I know this will be very challenging, but I’m pretty sure, I will do the best. Being professional on my new job (need to study again), being passionate and determined on things I want to do (running, climbing, and other) and being a much better person.
Thank you...
Godbless!
