First off, my group mates and I went to the Supreme Court Compound to cover a rally regarding the Mining Act of 1995 for our BC internship. There were many media people from various media outfits. Also, it was my first time to be in a rally as a part of the media.

As we were covering the rally, I couldn't help but worry about my internship in Journalism. At that time, I was still not taken as an intern in any newspaper outfit here in Baguio City. Yesterday, my Journ friends and I decided to meet up at Convention Center for the City Tourism Office internship orientation. So while we were covering the rally, I was really really hoping that the internship program would fit the requirements needed for our Journ internship.
At 1PM, Nikka and I met up at Zap Zone to edit our cover letters. While we were editing our cover letters, we received a text message saying that the officer-in-charge for our internship program was already there so we finished our cover letters quickly and rushed to the Baguio Convention Center.
Erica and Riza were already going to their assigned beats when we got there. When they left, Sir Gab Dispo, the Tourism Operations Officer of the City Tourism Office, told us what we would be doing as interns and the assignments scheduled for the week. The assignments were great, though the schedules were a little bit in conflict with my BC internship.
After the orientation, Nikka and I went to cover our first assignment - to cover the 17th Sheriff's Convention of the Philippines Seminar happening inside the Baguio Convention Center. We sat there and listened to the guest lecturers from the Supreme Court. And oh BTW, Hon. Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno was the guest speaker of the event so I was hoping to see her personally.

The lectures were very looooooooong. It included several pointers on the moral ethics of being a judiciary person, canons of justice, and stuff like that. While the speaker was speaking on the stage, a man approached me asking where I was from. I said, "Ah intern po kami sa City Tourism Office". After hearing that hee said, "Akala ko sheriff din kayo". Taking the opportunity given, I asked him several questions regarding the seminar. I learned from him that this seminar was being held every three years in different places within the country and that the delegates that were there were sheriffs from all over the country.
When it was already break time for the seminar, Sir Gab approached us and toured us inside the Convention Center. He pointed specific rooms for different departments that were in the Convention Center.
After covering the seminar, Nikka and I could finally go home. We went first to school because Nikka would meet with Kim to get her laptop. As we were waiting for Kim, we met Mia. She said that they were taken as interns at Amianan: Balita Ngayon and that they were still looking for interns. We said that we were taken as interns at the City Tourism Office. When Nikka got her laptop, we went to SM to buy stuff. After that, we decided to walk on Session Road as we were now going to the jeepney terminal. On the way to the jeepney terminal, we met Erica and Riza. They told us that the internship we got from the City Tourism Office was not yet final because the requirements seemed to not fit in our requirements in Journ internship. When they said that I was thinking like "Ermergheeerd.. Not final. We have to go look for one again." And yes, negative thoughts clouded my mind again.
That was when we remember what Mia said about Amianan looking for interns. Not wasting any more minute of our precious intern time, we went there. When we got there, we asked a staff ther if we could be interns for their newspaper outfit. She said, "Kailangan ng resumes at endorsement letters 'pag briefing". Good thing we had our resumes with us so the only thing that we are bringing tomorrow are our endorsement letter. And finally, we were accepted in Amianan: Balita Ngayon. Hurray for that!! :D
