Today, we started conducting a documentary for our Mass Media subject. It was great because we chose St. Joseph's Golden Home Foundation, a home for the elderly that was abandoned by their loved ones. I was really amazed of how the staffs and nuns treated these elders. And I was observing them all; the way they communicate with other people that are coming into their home and of how they interact with their co-elders and with us as well. I've known Nanay Sol, one of our character in this documentation; she loves seeing people that smiles always and she also wanted to receive a gift as simple as FITA; yes, Fita Biscuit. That is her only wish and only want, aside from going back home to Agusan, which is her true home. Nanay Mertha, a blind elder who is very moody. At times, she is irritable and mood swings to being lively. I was trippin' on her because she is so amazing when she gets mad and more amazing when she is in a good mood. Nanay Mertha even sang Maalaala Mo Kaya and we even recorded it. And Nanay Abeth told me that their daily routine is just eating, sleeping, attending mass in their chapel and praying during Angelus. The sad thing that she told me is that she was already abandoned by her daughter; which also makes her feel sad, but at least she is already contented of her life inside St. Joseph. Everything went well. It was fun meeting them all. Kudos, mates!
