On Group Process

I received a call from one of my close friend in high school, Mear. Asking a favor, if I could go to their school tomorrow because she badly needed someone to be there with her. I asked her what is it about but she didn’t told me the details. She just said that it is very important that she could bring someone tomorrow and she couldn’t find anyone. And so I say yes, never knowing what lies ahead. I am wondering if I could make it on time because she wants me to be at their school at 8 or 8:30 in the morning. I am not a morning person, if you didn’t know yet… I barely had 2 hours of sleep the next day, I tried to sleep early but I just can’t coz I had been sleeping all day. Yeah, I sleep all day and I’m awake at night ’til dawn (murag wak-wak, lolz). Anyways, I woke up at around 7, still feel sleepy but I have received a text message and a call from Mear asking where I am…

Well, I was late… I thought that they would just start, whatever is it that they were up to… but I was wrong, they were all waiting for me! (Gosh, kaulaw!) I still don’t have any idea what is it about. When I get there, I wrote some details of myself like my name and etc. then they handed me this:

miah

My name tag, hehehe…

Well, she finaly told me it was a group process, it ’s for one of their subjects in ma…

That’s me on the left wearing a white shirt…. still thinking, what will we do…

Well, I thought it was some kind of a self-awareness chuva ek-ek but she said it was a group process… Each one in their class should bring someone and all of us will participate on the sets of activities they had prepared for us. Their instructor was there too, listening and observing.

This is the part where we were asked to make something out of a clay. I first thought of making a computer with a mouse and a keyboard but I guess it would take a while to do it, so I made a turtle instead. I name it ‘Tuttles’ just like our turtle pet. I thought there will be an explanation on what we made out of the clays but we were assigned into two groups and the person next to me should destroy it, huhuhu… poor Tuttles… Well, our art was passed to each member of the group including myself and we all have to destroy each others art… :(

…and my Tuttles transformed into a heart… my heart.. :D

I enjoyed the experiece we had there, although they made me cry, huhuhu… There’s this one activity, the second to the last one where we will share something to our partners about a certain conflict that had happened in our life and why it happened, was it resolved, if so, how did we resolve it…

Well, I was able to open it up to ‘Leigh’ my partner on that activity… I’m really a sensitive type of person and it is also hard for me to open up to someone I don’t know and have just met, but still I tried but I haven’t controlled my emotion and tears are starting to fall from my eyes no matter how hard I tried not to let it fall… I knew I would be asked why I cried and I just don’t know how to open it up to others, others whom I just met on that day… Well, I’ve shared a few details about why and what made me cry but there’s just some things that I have to keep to myself and I’m glad they didn’t force me.

I am still happy though that I was able to open up to others, share some things, ideas and opinions… Just what I’ve said earlier that it’s really hard for me to open up to others but whenever I got the chance to, I try to help myself to trust and  share some things about myself and other things too…

You might ask me why can I write and say almost everything about me on my blog. Well, that was not really really personal, there are still some things that I haven’t blogged about myself and I still plan to keep it that way… :p

Hmmm… in writing I can express myself fully, there was no one with me while I am writing… I can express what I feel without someone looking, or judging maybe… I don’t know, I’m not just used to talking to others especially in person, about really really personal stuff.  hehehe… Are you getting curious?

Anyways, after the activity, Mear and I went to Pronto Mario and relax for a while… talk… and of course taking pictures…
