Storytelling at PCMC

We volunteered. And so, we were sent by Aitaptap to the Philippine Children's Medical Center in Quezon City this afternoon. Together with ate Princess, we storytold to the children in the hospital.

As always it was a fun experience. I kinda made them laugh especially with my voice and face distortion eheheheh.

But honestly, I had a hard time eliciting the excitement I am used to from the kids since all of them were quite sick. But then, they tried to really respond to my interactive questions and activites and to smile despite their not feeling good which was something that moved me.

Ang Madyik Silya ni Titoy and Si Pilong Patagu-tago were the stories i told.

Ang saya! I even got this mug as a token.
Astig talaga mag-kwento sa mga bata!


I can still remember some of their names, Cessa, Joan, carmela, Rosemarie, Elyssa, Jared, and others. And the most cute kid who was really participating in my story was Rinna, a four year-old girl with cancer. If not for her hair and mask, you wouldnt think she has cancer for she is so active and very sociable. She even wanted to have a picture of us taken. Ang cute!

Know what? This day reminded me about a thing or two about life's challenges...sigh. (",)
