Best night's of our lives:That's Amore

Here we are on the best nights of our lives reminiscing the past days of  being in a senior high. And looking forward to the endless possibilities on what we are going to be in the near future. I'm happy that before graduation we have a special gatherings to  socialize  with our batch. I'm a little bit sad because I know that moment's like this will never coming back but for sure it'll forever kept it in our hearts.

I don't expect with the program, we turn over some things we had as the first batch of senior high of NNCHS to the selected grade 11 studes.   There's also a reading of class prophecy and I'm hoping that prohecy do come true and praying that everyone of us will be successful.

Indeed it was amomentous and  glamorous night to all of us grade 12 studes who are able to attend the ball. Everyone exerts effort and money for their big transformation. We'll its just one night so it's a go and make it a blast
Is this their "I can't go,  I have no money"?. I'm happy for them they really looked great.

I was inspired by the speech of the guest speaker. And now I'm not afraid to try another field beyond my comfort zone. Honestly I hate Math but because of what he said I am encourage to learn it and love it.

I was just sitting on my chair when Eman tapped my back and said that there's someone who wants to dance with me. When I turned around to face Eman, it was him, I told myself, 'Ay... daot jud diay iyang mata'. My heart was jumping up and down because it really means to me. I know he was just forced because he is not like that. Without hesitation, I brought him to the dance floor, yes, it is me  who pulled him. We laughed at each other because we don't know where to put our hands so we looked at the other couples and copied what they were doing.

Picture taking, selfie everywhere as our means of keeping memories in that night.

Accomplished : the end of another experience

My immersion period ended last February 6, 2018. They taught me more on technical skills.
On my 10-day immersion, I felt like a real STEM-worker. I had more hands-on roles inside the laboratory. I even had the chance to visit a mining plant, at Agusan del Sur, managed by the owner of the laboratory I was immersed in.

              

I found my work immersion not easy. It's a work mostly for men. I needed to adjust and level with them. I also needed to act boyishly because all the lab personnel were men.

The test was literally hot. The test I'd undergone dealt with fire. They called it firing and it was done in the fire assay furnace. There was also a time I got burned because I lost control of the hand grip of the crucible tong. The hot porcelain glass accidentally fell so I tried to catch it but it was hot. Even my gloves got burned. The scar I got will always remind me of that experience. I don't regret it. It's part of learning.

On my last day, I had my actual performance in copper titration. The test produced a very strong odor and it almost intoxicated me but with the help of God, I survived.

After the test, I accomplished all my reports so that my instructor could rate my performance and give their comments and suggestions on my TRB. The day just ended just like the ordinary days. Nothing special.

I went back to the office to ask for my rating.
The owner checked my reports and asked for a copy of it for their company file and as my legacy to the laboratory. It would help the next batch of apprentices who would choose to work in the laboratory.

I couldn't afford to say goodbye in front of them and leave sentiments because I was afraid that they would just laugh at me; they're a bunch of happy people there. I just gave each one of them a thank you letter to extend my sincerest thanks to them.

Things I learned during my Immersion

There are a lot of things that you can learn in an experience. During my 10- day immersion, here are some of the things I've learned in Aurealle Assay Laboratory":

1.) There's no turning back
At first, while walking towards my work immersion place, I realized that I really felt bad that I didn't join with my classmates in their working place. I was the only student who had been immersed in the facility. I tempted myself to back out and follow them but then I realized it wasn't a good decision. I had to face it because I chose it. At the end, I would be accountable with all my actions. At the end of my immersion, I could say that I was still lucky because they didn't experience what I'd experienced, like holding a refined gold with my bare hands.

2.) Offer properly
The company deals with costumers so I entertained our costumers properly.

3.) Do the right test
You should physically examine the sample first so that you can determine what chemicals and method you will apply in the test.

4.) Check the equipment (pulverizer)
To ensure that it is in good condition before using, make sure it is properly lubricated and then retighten loose bolt to prevent further damage. Clean it before using to avoid contamination with the other sample.

 5.)Hygiene should be top priority
In the laboratory, where chemicals are dealt, it's safer to handwash thrice.

6.) Be safety-conscious
Wear safety devices like laboratory gown, gloves, mask and goggles while working.

7.) There is always something to learn
Sometimes experiments help you discover things. Some things occur by accident during experiments.

8.) Cyanide is worst
Just a drop of it can take your life away. When handling this chemical reagent, make sure to wear safety devices and wash your hands three or more times after handling it. Cyanide is used for leaching during adsorption process. It is used to extract soluble constituents or turn gold of solid forms like ores into a liquid form.

9.) Gold is indestructible
Through our random test and experiment, I have proven that gold is indestructible. Even cyanide couldn't dissolve it.

10.) Top Secret: Love your work
My instructor told me that I should do whatever I do with love. In order to succeed in whatever career you're in, you should love it so that you can perform excellently always.

11.) how to operate the the pulverizer machine

12.)  I learned how to operate the fire assay furnace
               
                                                            

13.) I learned the procedure of fire assaying

14.) I learned how to fire assay during my 10-day work immersion. I had more hands-on role and I even did simple operations inside the lab.

15.) I learned how to do copper titration.
I had my actual performance in copper titration on my last day of my immersion. It almost intoxicated me because of its strong odor but thank God I survived. In copper titration, a lot of chemicals are used, so it's very dangerous.

16.) I learned the three phases in mining plant.
I had the chance to go to Rosario, Agusan del sur in BMEA mining plant managed by the owner of the assay laboratory facility where I was immersed.
The three phases are crushing, grinding and adsorption.

17.)I learned that the true color of gold is black it wil just turn into yellow after adding with nitric acid, washed it with water and subject it again to heat

18.) I learned how to compute the result after weighing the gold beats.
For solid, muckore and waste :
            15g x 66.67
            30g x 33.33
For Carbon : 1.5 x 666
For Sol'n : 50ml x 20.20
Copper : 1g x 0.628

New beggining, new experience

It was through the help of Sir Gerry S. Alcoser and the initiative of our ever dynamic and hardworking adviser Sir John Marco Suazo that I was immerse in  Aurealle mining supplies and assay laboratory on 23rd of january 2018.

It was since 11th grade announced that we will be having our work immersion in grade 12 and some things about it. Though woking was never new to me since 2016 every summer im having summer jobs  but stil I'm very excited, I think everybody is excited and start talking and planning to what and where area they want to be immerse. And now it came to happen, it was been a long issue to me it is my 4th choice of facilty.  I really want to be immerse in a laboratory or factory because I am planning to take up Bs chemistry in college. Since the laboratory here in Nabunturan is for mining I was forced to be immersed in an assay laboratory.

My first day  was full of adjustments, establishing rapport w/ the laboratory personnel and the owner itself. I'm trying also  to adapt  in a new environment especially that I have no fellow classmates here unlike others they where in a group in one office or area. It was like I solely face a new challenge and nothing to depend on except myself. I choose this so I have to face it hoping that it would made me as atrong person

They tour me insde the laboratory and introduced the chemicals and laboratory equipment used in fire assaying.

A ceremony fo a new chapter

January 5, 2018 was indeed one of the memorable and remarkable day to each and every one of us. NNCHS - Integrated Senior High School conducted a pre-orientation and send-off ceremony to all Grade 12 students who have successfully endured the challenges of passing the minimum academic requirements and being qualified for the  immersion proper.

The guest speaker of the pre-orientation seminar was an HR PESO officer of the LGU of Nabunturan. She gave us prerequisite things that are necessary before being exposed in the field of work. She also gave us some tips for job interview and do's and dont's in applying overseas or abroad.

Working is not new to me because I have been on a summer job since 2016 at the Provincial Capitol of Compostela Valley. But I'm still excited for our immersion for I will be exposed to my preferred field of work this time.

I'm grateful to have attended the send-off ceremony; a ceremony for a new chapter. It's like when you were still a baby, you were christened to be welcomed in the Christian world, and now in Senior High, the send-off ceremony was likely intended to also
welcome us or send us to a new field: the field of work. It was so because we are now already equipped and globally competitive students of the K-12 basic education curriculum.

At that time, my mind was hazy because after the long-sitting pre-orientation seminar and practice, I hurriedly went to Municipal Hall to get Police Clearance for Immersion requirements. When I got back to school, I didn't know what to do next. There's a lot of people in the gym already. My parents surely couldn't come so I had asked my sister beforetime to tell my aunt she'd come instead. My aunt was still not there. I still haven't eaten lunch. And the program was about to start. With the help of my classmates, I quickly prepared myself in a nick of time and then went to line.

I easily recovered from all the distress that happened to me. Yeah, that's me, master of recovery. Our procession march was like for graduation and I was proud to walk down that aisle since I am a working student who has been primarily supporting my education and finances.

As I reached my seat, I saw my auntie, just arriving and sitting on the bench intended for STEM studes' parents. As I looked at the parents, I saw so much happiness glittering  in their eyes after witnessing their children walk down the aisle. I felt their happiness that the additional 2 years of struggles and hardship now has a product and is nearing to an end.

Part of the ceremony was the candle lighting, each candle had a designated ribbon representing the different strands. The candle symbolized the lighting of the path and the promising of a bright future to offer to our parents.

With the cooperation of the Students,Parents and NNCHS faculty and staff the ceremony was not perfectly done but successfully made.

A must to experience festival

Simballay Festival is a yearly event in the municipality of  Nabunturan. It is a celebration of feast for a bountiful and fruitful harvest throughout the year.
Even though it was just the start of building the bahay kubos, many people had passed by and asked when the opening would be; they couldn't wait to see the finished display. Every booth of each barangay showcases a glimpse of what their place is all about. The representatives were also trading their   products and artifacts.                                                                                                                                                            

         I was so amazed on how they creatively presented their balay-balay. Each booth (or balay-balay) has its own story like how the sizes of the pillars depict the strength of the houses. It is not just merely all about searching for the most beautiful kubo but also presenting their traditions and cultures and remembering the simple  past lives inspite of continuous progression of technology                                                                 

The Simballay Festival has improved this year. They had put an installation art, a row of umbrellas hanging with accompanying christmas lights  from above the center between the array of bahay kubos, that some expectators might have misinterpreted it as Umbrella (payong-payong) Festival.
