I really had no plan to join the said retreat because the girls were separated from the guys.. Our adviser told us that she wouldn't sign our clearance if we're not going. So, I was left with no choice. Muhehehe.. Besides, I thought this would be a nice break from all the drama, pollution and Manila. 
January 9, 2007, we, the 4th year female college students of DC had the annual retreat. As expected, I sat alone in the bus because Ache and Dianne sat together. Muhehehehe.. But it was all good. I really was not in the mood to talk. I wanted to enjoy the view. Nyaknyak..
When we arrived at the retreat house, we saw our (guy) classmates. It was like we haven't seen each other for months! Nyohohohoho!!! And I was sooooooo hungry when we got there. I asked Dianne if she still has the Pik-Nik with her. She told me she gave it to the boys. Nooooooooooooo! Ache and I were so hungry! T_T So so so.. Dianne bought a box of buko tart for the three of us. Yey!!! Food!!! Salvation! Bwahahahaha!! It was delicious I tell you!
After devouring the tasty tarts, it was merienda time! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Time to eat again! Ahahahaha.. I was like, "Uh-oh.. That was wrong. We ate too much tarts." Muhehehehe.. So there, we went to the dining room and had our merienda. After eating, we went out and walked around. We went to the little garden and saw this huts. It was said to be sacred and he had to take off our shoes if we're gonna go inside. I took photos of the flowers, the scenery and us!
4:30pm, we headed to the conference room and finally met the priest. We played a game called The Hunter's Game and our team lost! Hahahaha! The team had to spell our name using our lips in front of everyone and I had to go first. Muhehehehe.. I don't think we really lost though because father Ding, gave us a bracelet in the end. And I liked it.
After that, we had activites, talk and heard stories. Y'know, the usual retreat stuff. I got to realize a lot of things, too.
In the evening, we went to the chapel and saw labyrinth that father Ding told us about. He told us that the labyrinth is the journey in our life and it full of twists and turns. After that, it was confession time. Ache and I went out and walked for a while.. AND IT WAS SO FREAKIN' COLD!!! I loved it! And the sky was FULL OF STARS! Mweee!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! I called friends up to tell them that it was so cold and there are so many stars! Ahahahaha! I tried to call Rix but he went out.
After savoring the moment, we headed back to our rooms to get ready for bed. I took a bath despite the freezing cold water because there's this thing called, heater. XD And I was off to dreamland at 1am. 
5:00am woke up and greeted Batangas, Ache and Dianne a good morning. Muhehehehe.. IT WAS SO COLD!!! LOL! But being the "macho" that I am, I bravely took a bath! Thanks to Mr. Heater. AHAHAHAHA! After taking our bath, we had a yummy breakfast. I felt so full. @_@ After our breakfast, we went to the conference room and father I-forgot-what-his-name-is talked about happiness. It was an enlightening talk even if I was a bit sleepy. I learned a lot since I am looking for real happiness.
10:00 AM Merienda @_@
10:30 AM Talk
11:30 AM Mass
12:30 AM Lunch @_@ I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo full.
After a heavy lunch, we went out and took photos while waiting for the bus. I separated from Ache and Dianne and sat down to feel the breeze, enjoy the moment and the environment and to just think about things.. It was heaven. I felt great. I didn't want to go back to Manila. Not yet. But that was the reality.. Face all the drama, bullshit and problems. I was lucky because I got the chance to go to Batangas and rest for even a while.. That is what I need after all. And I've got people waiting for me back in Manila. 
3:30 PM The bus arrived. Finally. It was supposed to pick us up at 1AM. x_x Not much happened inside the bus... I slept for a while and woke up when we had our stop-over at Laguna. And read a message saying that Enrico misses me. Hihi.. And I miss him too! 
Got back at DC at 5:30pm.. And almost everyone headed to the ladies' room and had to pee. Muhahahahaha... After that, I went home and I was greeted by my baby sisters. They asked if I had pasalubong. Muhehehe.. Ozkorz I had pasalubong for them. They asked me if it was fun and blah blah blah.. I told 'em what happened. 
After that, I slept from 7PM to 3PM! Bwahahahaha! That means only one thing, I was absent at school! x_x
Oh oh oh.. My crush joined us in the retreat! XD She's soooo tall. @_@
Currently feeling: happy
