i just came back from our retreat.
i enjoyed the retreat(except for some parts)
we were always full. we were always eating. and i am thankful for that. i brought food but i didn't eat any of it.
i wanted to finish the retreat but i must take the USTET. i wanted to stay.
STORIES(retreat)
the first night i was making palancas for my classmates. i was writing til 12:30. i decided to sleep because i thought my roommate was having a hard time sleeping because of the light(he was not disturbed by the light, he simply couldn't sleep). i still didn;t finish writing the letters.
every time we had a break, i would go the room and write. i was still not able to finish all the letters.
and i also like the times when i talk to other people. it was supposed to be a silent retreat, but we were only silent when someone's around.
in the middle of the retreat, our guidance teacher announced that one of our classmates was "in danger." she said that his platelet count was 20--the normal is 150. we were all shocked; coincidentally, that was the most (if not the only) quiet moment throughout our retreat.
i will continue to write things here tomorrow.

ano naman ayaw mo sa retreat?
unang gabi, naglalaro lang kami, eh. wala sanag tulugan, pero nakatulog rin. Kulang nga, eh. ang aga nila nanggigising. anong klaseng break from the world yun?
sabi nga ni jek, and i have the same sentiments..
"akala ko yung silent retreat, parang magpapaka-ermitanyo tayo. solo-solo lang, tapos wala talagang pwedeng gawin kundi mag-isip at magdasal, kung naniniwala man."
but then there was absolutely nothing "silent" about our retreat, eh?
and then there was that stupid announcement which was really said a bit too early, thereby causing grief and panic among our classmates.. i myself was scared. a bit. that's why anton and i wanted to quit the retreat and visit manman. but then binawi nila yung unang sinabi, saying he's "okay." sheesh. they ruined our experience.
but anyway. at least everything's fine now, eh? and you say UST was swell, right?
yeh!
life is good.
