RETREAT

Last week was one of the most stressful weeks this school year. Last week lang kasi kami talagang nagprepare for the retreat. Kuya was in the hospital so mom was busy with him. Nung Sunday, pumunta kami sa Recto to get the pins done. Oh, the design was made by Jon my love. Then, nung Monday, I had to fix the pin designs para mas madali ipagawa. Then, I went to the hospital to help mom take care of kuya. Nung Tuesday, Cam, Juan and I went to Trinoma to "meet" and buy supplies. We met sa PRP then talked about the retreat in Starbucks. Super tagal naming nag-usap na we forgot to have lunch and we ended at like 3. Tapos, we went to National to buy stuff. Tapos we went to Landmark to buy candles, but there were no more candles so we had lunch. Tapos yung pins daw may problema so i had to work that night. Then Wednesday, I did nothing yata. Oh, I got the starmaps printed and stuff and did the room assignments. Thursday, I did last minute everything and palancas and I packed. Friday, I woke up early and got ready. Tapos TJ came and we went to Pisay. There, I crammed palancas and helped out a bit. Then, we left na for Tagaytay..

Hayyy... The retreat was super fun. When we got there, yung nag-orient sa amin sobrang nainis tapos nag-walk out. Then, we went to our room, and blah. Then I think we learned the Italian Padre song thing from Father Mon. Then we had dinner yata then we got to work. We moved the chairs to the side and began making our human board game na ginawa mostly ni Juan. Cam also prepared the Human Bingo papers. Tapos medyo late na kami nagstart. We played Disturbia as
our batchmates entered the room. Then, we started. Basta. Words can't describe how fun that night was, thanks to Juan. It was super great.

Saturday was the more religious day. The speakers were not boring at all and we had this Amazing Race thing pa. Favorite quote ko from the speaker was something like "Ateneo..yung school sa harap ng Starbucks." Sobrang burn nun. Hahaha. Tapos we had confession and one on one talks. I really really felt bad. I started to tear up when I was in front of Fr. Mon confessing everything. Sobrang nakakakonsensya yung experience na yun. Tapos when I went out of the chapel, si Nico pa nakita ko tapos he felt really bad so super emotional ng moment na yun. Then, I think I sneaked into our room and got some of the Palancas I needed to finish. Then, we started preparing for palanca night. We lit 2 big candles and placed them at the front of the room where the council was. Then, one by one, each section entered and formed a circle around the palancas of that section. Tapos we said some stuff and asked the class presidents to light the candles of their classmates. Then, we let them get their palanca envelopes. It kinda depends on the person if he enjoyed the night or not. Basta ako, I had fun coz parang sobrang narelieve ako.

Sunday was okay. Nagprayer kami tapos nagmass tapos nagpicture. I hope naman they enjoyed. Super naghirap ang council para doon. The trip home was boring. Wala akong katabi so I just slept. I went down sa Ayala with TJ then we went home. I was so tired when I got home so I just lay in bed. I fixed my stuff later that night..

Lesson learned: Stop cramming batch stuff...
