Ang Humahagupit na Upper Fellowship

Note from the Editor: Each month, our newsletter will be featuring a "unit" in the chapter. A
Unit is composed of more or less five household groups. We will take a closer look at the
personalities comprising our units and get a glimpse of what they've been doing as a group.
This month and for starters, we will feature the Upper Household.


Madalas natin marinig ang Brothers Fellowship, Sisters Fellowship,
Chapter Fellowship at iba pa. Pero narinig nyo na ba ang Upper
Fellowship? Lupit…, ito palang mga lider natin, ang mga members ng
Upper Household (UH) ay gumigimik rin, para sa isang humahagupit na
upper fellowship. Tara, alamin natin ang kanilang bonding, trekking,
planning, laughing, eating at syempre pwede bang mawala ang picture
taking.
Last 18-19 of August, naganap ang pinaka-aabangang upper fellowship
from our home base, Pasig City to beautiful, foggy, cool climate of
Tagaytay City. Naku travel time palang sa van (nila Ronald, Vida, Medz,
Darren, Cathy, Aaron at Ann) ang saya na ng upper, di maawat sa
kwentuhan, kulitan, asaran at tawanan. Ewan ko lang yung nasa kotse
(Jerry, Mina, Julius, Bugs at Wen), hanggang sa marating namin ang
tahanan nila Bugs.
Day 1, August 18: Day 1 pa lang, grabe food na agad ang nasa isip, first
we had dinner at Leslie’s Resto para sa favorite bulalo, kare-kare, sisig
at syempre rice, nag order pa nga ng extra rice sa dulo eh. Before nyan
nag-bilyar muna ang mga brothers, hehe. Tapos, mid-year review na
nung gabi. What went wrong and what went right, yan ang nadagdag sa
kaalaman ko. Talagang tinandaan ko pa yan. Kakaiba di ba? Mid-year review on
the month of August… =) Eto ang malupit, bonding moments, ito ang moment ng
upper that crosses day 1 & day 2, puyatan to the max! Kaya lang di ko pwede
i-share ang mga kilig, kwela, at very intriguing moments ng bawat isa, basta
merong yiihhheeee…. eto yung tipong bonding na talagang pang-over night &
take note walang K.J. sa upper lahat, dare! =) Hay naku, almost 4am na ayaw
pa paawat. Wanna join and play our “Name or Pass” game? J
Day 2, August 19: Ito na ang araw ng adventure at galaang walang katulad.
Hanep ang upper parang mga turista, parang Lost in Tagaytay. Ganon pala kami
pag nagsama-sama, parang mga naka wala sa hawla J First destination, Good
Shepherd for the best pasalubong na “ube”. Then, ang walang kupas na Picnic
Grove. Ang saya ng trekking namin, a lot of picture taking, laughing and a few
of seconds of crying then laughing ulit, hehe.
From Picnic Grove down to the famous Pink Sisters, famous kasi lahat ng
sisters / nuns are dressed in pink. Dito we spent quiet hours of praying and good
conversation with our God. Our last stop at di papayag ang upper na di matikman
ang masarap na food sa Mushroom Resto, nilantakan ng upper (brothers) ang
mga pagkain. Akala mo ang daming inorder, para lang matikman lahat, nag ibaiba
pa ng order, kulang nalang boodle fight =)
It was a great weekend, the upper household proved to have established strong
relationships and a special friendship among us. The community binds us, the
teachings & gathering bind us more. But most of all, it is the members of this
chapter, SFC-ICC, who inspire us to give our best and to share our 3T’s, Godgiven
Time, Talent & Treasures for our chapter and community, for our brothers
& sisters of SFC…HuuAaaa!
