Students of AMA who are enrolled in COMPO-04 (Current Trends in Information Technology) had their field trip in Manila. Student where asked to be there in the College at 3AM. And I was the last student to arrive. Hehe. 33 students, 1 teacher, 1 tour leader, and the driver.

I was like a new student there. I don't know most of them. Because of my conflict schedule, I don't attend my COMPO class. But still, even though I was just like new, my classmates never made me feel out of place. Thanks naman guys. :)

Our first stopover was in Bulacan. Where we all ate our breakfast. :)

After then, we arrived at the NCC. The National Computer Center (NCC) is the wheel that steers ICT in the right direction. As the lead agency for promoting the strategic use of ICT in the government, the NCC is committed to invigorate knowledge sharing and to play a pro-active role in the development and diffusion of IT in the government. Today, NCC lends its full support to the administration’s ICT thrust by forging strategic alliances with the private sector, coordinating ICT activities, developing human capital, promoting ICT utilization in all sectors of the society, and advocating Philippine ICT services worldwide.

Followed by Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICT). Where it's mission is to develop the country as a world-class ICT services provider, provide government services to stakeholders online, provide affordable Internet access to all segments of the population, develop an ICT enabled workforce, and create an enabling legal and regulatory environment.

After CICT, we went to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). It is a service institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) that is principally mandated to mitigate disasters that may arise from volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami and other related geotectonic phenomena. We watched a video about the different kinds of Volcanic erruptions. I liked the video, to be honest. It made me "tulala", to be honest. This is our not-complete-group picture after watching the movie. :)

After PHIVOLCS, we went straight to Cavite to visit the house of Emilio Aguinaldo. I don't know why we went there. But I am sure there must be a reason. :)

And then, we went straight to our hotel in Island Cove for our lunch and for the check in. The hotel looks awesome to be honest! I got this picture from the internet. Have a look!

We were given time to rest. Where me and my roommates just roam around and seeing the whole hotel. :D And after resting, all the AMA students from different different places were called for the Team Building. Where we played three games. First one is the human chain. Second is the, ahmmm, argh I forgot. Ahaha. I don't know the name. :D Hahaha. Basta, yun na yun.
The purpose of the team building was for us to get to know the other AMA students from different campuses. :)

After the team building, we had our dinner!! And at the same time, there were two speakers who were talking about the Career Opportunities in IT. :) And after it, everybody went on it's own way. Me and my friends roam around and went to a restaurant as I was so much hungry already. As I didn't eat my dinner that day. :D As it was thursday, no non-veg allowed! :D Hehe. After it we went on our room and as I lay down on my bed, I slept. Knockdown ako nun. Hehe.

And the next day comes. I was the first one to wake up that day. And woke up all of my roommates. Then we all got ready for the Oceanic Island. The pool was so much clean. I mean, the water inside. Whew, super love it! :)



After having a fun in the Oceanic Island, we all went to the Main pool. Just exclusively for the AMA Dagupan. Haha. There me and Jonathan had a racing. Unfortunately, I lost. Haha. I was the only girl who was swimming in the 6 feet. Whew. :D

After the swimming, we all got ready for the check out in the hotel. After having our check out, we went to the Animal Island of the hotel. So that our ticket won't be wasted. Hehe. After the visit at the Animal Island, we all bid a goodbye to the Island Cove. Mall of Asia. We were given time to shop or roam around there. And have our lunch.



We left MOA at 4PM in the afternoon. And then there we were, on the way to our home sweet home. We played some games on the bus. Educational games. The first stopover, I forgot where we stopped. And as per my other classmates' request, we had our second stopover at SM Rosales. We were given 30minutes to roam around there or eat something, if we like. Hehe. And then, tada! We reached AMA Dagupan at 10PM. The other boys slept on the college with sir Randy. And me, I just directly went home. :)

It was a nice trip. Masaya. :)

The picture of the whole group, though not complete. :)



Well yeah, and our group was known as the most obedient branch and the most respected among other branches, that's what the Island Cove Administration and the Isla Group of Guides said. We weren't trying to be "Killjoy", it was just we were trying to follow the rules and regulations of the Hotel. But at the same time we were having fun too! :)
