Not an hour ago, an experience made my week. With my positive mental attitude, I get to laugh at it when others would probably resort to cursing.
Earlier, I rode a “public” motorcycle colloquially called habal-habal on my way to One Network Bank. I only had 10 pesos in my pocket, enough money for my fare.
When I reached the Bank, I walked straight to the automated teller machine (ATM). I was welcomed by two disassembled machines undergoing repair. Obviously, I backed off (no choice).
By that time, my only way to get back to the dorm is to walk. So I walked the dusty road back to school. It was so dusty that I feel I had my free face powder when I reached my destination. The walk reminded me of my summer internship.
I had my summer internship at the Environmental Conservation and Protection Center at Alabel, Sarangani Province. There were a lot of days when we had to walk kilometers along the breezy shoreline to assess the mangroves. It was very strenuous, I believe, but the beautiful scenery of the shore lessened the load. It resulted me total knockout every time I reach home.
My experience today made me thank of my internship. It was a really big help (as in BIG HELP, as big as the muscles on my legs). The experience was not much different with my internship walks, it’s just this time it’s on a dusty “shore”.
The author really enjoyed his internship. In fact, he was only required to work for 160 hours but he decided to go for the 200-mark. Here are some blog posts he made during his internship: Bakit?, ECPC Moments

It’s good you can see the positive things in the worse scenarios. It’s like seeing something that no one else does. A gift to be exact.
I also enjoyed my internship. I LOVED IT and I took it too seriously but I learned a lot.
