I know what you’re thinking – you would probably be thinking of food right?The answer is both a YES and a NO. Why? It’s because I will not be only talkling of food that would satisfy our tummies but also food for our mind - experience is what I'm referring to. And I had a "delicious" experience when I went on duty for the first time with a senior reporter – with no other than Ms. Sheila Gravinez.

I already knew Ms. Sheila then because she was a former DYSS reporter of GMA-7 where I used to have my tv broadcasting internship over Buena Mano Balita. Because of that, I was happy when Sir Roger texted me that I’ll be going with Ms. Sheila that day.
We went to the Department of Health first to get an update of dengue cases in the region as well as went to the Regional Health Office Environmental Health Program and talked to Engr. Evangeline Canoneo about the inspection in the disposal of coal ash at a coal power plant in Naga City. Lastly, we went to the Bureau of Food and Drugs to get an update about their advisory on imported products entering the country especially in Region 7. Afterwards we went back to the office. On our way there, to my surprise Ms. Sheila humbly asked me if what story would I like to write. Amazed with her kindness, I immediately replied that it’s up to her if what story would she like me to write. Thus, she decided to give me the dengue update and the BFAD advisory. Indeed, it was a great challenge in my part for I’ll be dealing with medical terminologies or jargons but I don't have any worries for I know that Ms. Sheila was just there to back me up.
When we arrived at the office, Miss Jennette told us that all Sun.Star Superbalita staff as well as interns will be going to have a lunch at Tsim Sha Tsui restaurant located at Ayala Terraces. I really thought it would be a working lunch and they will have a meeting. But I was amazed because we just purely ate our lunch there for about an hour and a half. It was an eat-all-you-can treat in lieu of the anniversary of the publication. I just appreciated their effort for inviting us in that very delicious lunch. The food were not just "delicious" but the memories we had as well.
