An inseparable tandem.
In my heart, lies a man who would love me until the end of time.

First Retreat
We had our retreat last February 18-19. And all I can say is -- 'twas fun!!
When we got to LFC [retreat house], we went inside the conference room or some room wherein there are many chairs. We had 4 sessions with Fr. Mario Sanchez. The first one was about "Recollection". The 2nd was either about Life or Gratitude. The 3rd, I think it was Gratitude. The 4th -- Happiness, I think. Well, we had activities, too. The first one was a drawing. We drew "herods" as our sins somewhat, "stars" for the special people in our life, "gifts" - the gifts that we went to give for Jesus and a picture of ourselves and a symbol of God. After drawing, we passed them and Fr. Sanchez will pick a drawing and he/she will recite in front. We were all worried and we were hoping that our names wouldn't be called. Until we [me&arielle] heard our names... We didn't refuse to go in front. Hahaha. Next, we put a list of who we want to thank God for. The last one was -- we wrote a list of all our sins. After that, 'twas our confession. Then, we took a shower. Haha. After that, rosary then dinner. Next, meditation && sharing.
We also had action songs during our session which are "Journey", "Only Selfless Love", "Madali Lang", "Deep Deep" and "I Can". During the meditation, we did action songs first which was "Deep Deep". Each section performed. Hahaha. We were hilarious! Then, we all meditated. The lights were off. Ms. Susan, the woman who was talking in the microphone, told us that it was time to talk to Jesus. And then she started asking us questions. "How are your grades? Are they low? How are your parents? Do they scold you most of the time? How are you friends? Did you betray them? Did they betray you?"... And so forth. It all made us cry. And we started apologizing for what we have done. Good heavens! My tears were like whoa. Everyone was crying. But not everyone. Some weren't crying. But most of us were. We hugged, cried and apologized. Then, we shared our problems to everybody. Arielle & I shared in front and so did other people. After sharing, our teachers gave us letters from our parents. Again, we cried because it was an inspiring letter for all of us. Thanks, Ma! Then, our teachers gave us messages which obviously inspired us all! :)
Then, it was time for us to sleep. We went inside the room and we ate junk food. Hahaha. We all planned not to sleep. Although, some of us slept. I didn't sleep, though. Ms. Julie even went inside our room! And we faked our sleeps. LOL. She asked us if we want to sleep outside, too. Because the boys were kicked out of their rooms and we pitied them. Haha. By the way, we were the only ones who had an air-conditioned room with 10 double decks. It was so fun inside. Sam and I even danced on top of the bed. :)) I was also text messaging that time. But no one was replying, they were probably all asleep 'cause it was 2 in the morning. Hahaha! At 4am, I was text messaging with Denise, and I finally realized that all of my roommates were asleep. I also realized that I was talking to myself because I was talking to Pauline and Sam, but they fell asleep. Hahaha. And because I was sleepy, I fell asleep as well. Our alarms rang at 5am. Which means, I only had 1 hour of sleep. Funny! Gosh, our eyebags were hella big. :))
We took a shower @ 5:30am. And then, we took mass, we had picture taking && we ate breakfast. After that, we got our bags and we went downstairs. We waited for our fetchers and we stayed inside the cottage. We made stories and we laughed. Hahaha. Danielle's driver arrived and we rode in their car, she dropped us @ MG, too. :D
That day was so fun that we miss LFC already!! :(

Sports Festival turns into a disaster
Well, hello. My last post was the day before the Sports Festival and now, I have to tell you stories and I have to post a blog about the things that happened during the sports festival itself. Am I correct?
I'll start with the first day... I woke up really and as a result, I arrived early in school. I saw Tiffany there, all alone. I asked where Ella was and she told me that she hasn't arrived yet. Then, our teacher announced that we should go to our classified places. The blue eagles should be on the LMC section. As what they've told us, we went there right away. When Ella arrived, she grabbed Tiffany so they could get the balloons. When they came back, they had the balloons. 100 balloons, I think. We got the balloons and went back to LMC. They spread the balloons and gave it to different people. Some put it on their cars, others held it. We looked for a car, and we found Issa's pick up. We rode there and yay. Hahaha. We started the motorcade from MG to MG itself. We passed through Orient Pacific Center, Star Plaza, blah blah. Then, we also went through the new highway to CSI. Yeah, we passed City Mall but 'twas still closed. Afterwards, we arrived back in MG. All of us were happy. We were all under the sun, cheering, screaming and having fun. I loved it! :D
We started the opening address sometime at 9am? Idk. Then, we all gathered for the introductions of our sections. Haha. Ours was okay. I liked the Yellow's! Do it, do it, do it! Woo. LOL. The sports started after lunch. First, we played Volleyball. Then, they substituted me. So, I stayed at the bench and watched. Unfortunately, we lost. I forgot the score, but we lost. I cried, boo! Hahaha. I'm such a crybaby when it comes to sports. I can't always accept those failures. After crying, I went to PE area for the Chess. I played with Savanah. Hurray, I won!! I played one more time with Clarenz... But, I lost. Waa. I went downstairs and saw Sam crying. She got dissapointed because of Nicole [long story]. I decided to go upstairs to have a rematch with Clarenz but he disagreed. I went downstairs and did nothing. We also had a water war with the afternoon session. Haha. So fun!! (:
SECOND DAY : The disaster. So, it was LOSER VS. LOSER. Our opponent was the Orange section. The game started at around 9am, I guess. I wasn't included in the first set. When we were about to have a substitution, our opponent disagreed, so we accepted that. But when their co-player arrived, they wanted to have a substition, too. I, unexpectedly && accidentally, screamed in front of my teacher/referee. It's really complicated. Luckily, we won. After the game, Ms. Reggie talked to me and Pauline because we shouted. And I apologized to Ms. Irene. I just watched the championship between Blue and Orange after that. During lunch, I went upstairs to play Chess. I played against Johann. I thought I was going to win but I didn't. I tried my best not to resign and yet, I did get a Queen. However, I became careless and my Queen got eatened, that's why I lost. I went downstairs and played parlor games with them. Before that, I dragged Micah to Hensen and they had this sort of "date". Yee! Haha! After that, I played "Finding the Coin" wherein you have to blow the flour so you could find a coin. My face was so hilarious because it was full of flour. Hahaha! Next, the can thing-y. We lost, though. ((: So, after that, we just played "water wars" again with Vic and his friends. Many teachers got mad and Ms. Judith told Ms. Julie about that. Our principal talked to us. But she talked to me for a different reason; I disrespected my teacher. She even talked to my mom! Through the phone. My mom called me and Ms. Julie grabbed my phone. Well, yeah, I got scolded by my mom that day. Psh!
THIRD DAY: Coward. I was being a coward because I was really afraid of teachers because of what happened the day before that. But when time passed by, I forgot all about it. I played Chess with Zacha and other volleyball players went to the mall. I was left there with 5th graders and Sam during the Awarding Ceremony. Golly, we were the overall champion!! Yays. But sadly, the players weren't there, so we were incomplete that's why we didn't join the group picture. Boo! When they arrived, we kept on whining. Haha. Then, we took pictures with the trophy. Woo! Most of them left. Frances, Tiffany, Sam, Ella and I were left in school with other people including Vic, Hensen, Erar, etc. Then, Ms. Julie told us stories. She informed me that I would be given a Violation Action Report. I have to admit, I didn't feel worried or anything because I don't know. Haha. I was relax, in fact. Ms. Julie was about to cry while telling stories. And so did we. Aww. When Ms. Julie went back to her birthday party, Vic, Erar & Luis arrived again in school. We played "truth or dare". But I had to leave 'cause my driver arrived. I left at 3pm. (:
UM, I'm not agitated about the VAR. I'm scared of my teachers and I have this other problem. It's a secret, though. I don't know what to do!! :o
P.S. : I got addicted to Chess. ((:
