[[Retreat '06]]

Our retreat went soooo well! Let's break it down to pieces, shall we?

We left the school @ 8am, riding 2 vans, a green one and a white one. Of course, the whole of the Romulo class decided to stay together, so we rode on the green van. Anyway, after about an hour or road trip.. we arrived at the covenant house real early... well... that's for Romulo's case, anyway. Antonio's van got lost! We waited for them for about 2 hours!! And this was where the fun began. :)

The whole of Romulo, including T. Tina and T. Nino, stayed for the meanwhile, inside the girls room (which btw is sooooo big)! The girls' dorm had around 20+ beds! Alright, like we've said, the fun began. We started to take pictures, posing every way we wanted to!

Of course, after our 'photoshoot', we decided to play some Taboo. Good thing there was Taboo, or else we wouldn't be able to entertain ourselves for the remaining time we spent waiting for the other class.

We even had enough time to 'loiter' around the covenant house. :)

At around lunchtime, finally, the other class arrived, and we were all able to have our lunches! We finished an hour later. After another 30 mins of afternoon nap, we were required to proceed now to the conference room. And this was where our retreat officially began. Our retreat master, Francis Jonathan was the one who led us to this new experience we were about to have. We learned a lot not only about his life, but also those little lessons in life that we sometimes don't mind.

We took a break from our retreat-ing at around 4.30 for some merienda and then resumed immediately.

We finished our session at 7.30 and then ate dinner. Of course, after a few minutes to brush teeth, prepare, we went back to conference room. We finished at around 10.00.

But we weren't going to bed yet. >:) we still had to do a letter for our parents and for our siblings. We had to make it a very 'fulfilling' letter.

It was already 12.00 past and the girls weren't even asleep yet! Even the boys! The ladies even went star gazing! lol! Sadly, no boys were invited coz they might be noisy. And Edmarl, Vlad and Lou were the ones who were able to survive the whole night without sleeping!! That's why on the trip home, bagsak!

We started the next day very early! Everybody woke up at 6.00am and everyone proceeded to the dining room at 7am for breakfast. After that, we headed quickly to the conference room to finish the last activity on our agenda.

The last activity was indeed fun. All of us 9even the teachers) were asked to form a circle with two outlines, and those two lines were asked to rotate on opposite directions. And then you have to say something nice about the person who is in front of you and the rotation goes on until you finish saying nice things about everyone. Some of us cried, laughed, reminsced...you name it!

And, as expected, even the boys cried! lol! Everyone cried! The ones who didn't are made of stone! But aside from all the tears that were shed, memories that were reminsced, it was truly and experience that all of us will cherish.

We not only learned about God, but we also learned about ourselves.

We feel sad that not all of us were able to join the retreat. But not to worry, we have enough memories and bonding moments already! And for sure we will more!
