Last weekend, we went on a camp/retreat. It was a fun experience. Two days with no TV & computer and two days canned goods feast. To be detailed, I`ll be doing my story in a bulleted list. :)
SATURDAY,January 22, 2011
Woke up at 3:15 am.
Took a bath then had breakfast.
Went to school at 4:45 am
Went to Jabez Campsite at Dasmariñas Cavite at 7am.
Immediate lesson about CAT and it`s components at a certain hall upon arrival with Mr. Johnal A. Tana, the over-all facilitator for the activities for Day 1.
After an hour of lecture, we went to the open field for actual demonstration.
The whole 4th year was the Alpha Platoon.
Performed commands.
30 minutes break. *picture*
Meeting with my platoon regarding our battle cry. We ended up doing the "Aribaaaa.. Huhaaa!" battle cry.
Had the platoon check; performed the battle cry.
Lunch Break.
Went to the hall again for First Aid lessons. The facilitator cracked jokes that filled the room with laughter.
Got to familiarized with different medical and rescue items.
Ate Sab, another facilitator, taught us some basic knots.
Went on a mini obstacle course with the cargo net and different ropes.
Had the tyrolean traverse where I had so much fun.
Did the compass-reading challenge.
Finally, saw our cabin.
Prepared for dinner.
Took a relaxing shower. :)))))
Ate dinner.
Had bonfire. Every platoon was asked to prepare performances.
Played a game and then we performed.
Sleep time! Actually, I had a difficult time sleeping. Quite cared i might see apparitions. Hahaha~
SUNDAY, January 23, 2011
Woke up at uhh... I have no idea what time was that because I have no watch/clock.
Took a bath then ate breakfast.
Went to a session hall.
Had our retreat.There were 3 videos that were shown where some got emotional. I thought I would never cry but when the last video was off to it`s end, I can feel my tears encircling my eyes. Srsly. It was very moving. I bet you should also watch it. Here-yo:
Everybody in the room cried especially when some shared stories about their parents.
The teachers shared stories about their personal lives.
Went back to cabin and made a letter for our parents.
Since the campsite is like a compound, there is a school inside it, and orphanage too. We visited the orphanage and there were so many kids there. So cute!
Went back to camp.
Ate lunch.
Had the obstacle race. The mud crawl was very gross but nevertheless, it was fun! Our group won the 1st place for girls. Yipeee! =))
Took a a shower.
I roamed around the campsite with Janine and then we played at the play ground. Rode a swing which I haven`t done for years. Nostalgic. ♥
At 5 pm, we check out the camp and we went home.
My body is still aching badly until now even if I already showered Efficasent Oil last night. Hahaha~ I hope it gets well today because I have a lot of things to do. I still have to wash my muddy clothes and my camp bag. Very busy day. Good thing today is a no-class day. How I hope for school holiday extension. Bye! My tummy`s growling already.

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
