IV-1 Retreat

last highschool retreat (october 23-27 2008). Assumption Sabbath Place, Baguio
The BEST retreat ever. I love IV-1, Father Edwin, Miss Gcel (thank you so so so much miss :)), and Miss Yvette.
My roomate for the first day was alex. Second and third, dana and kyle. Last day, ria, alex, denise, and chiara. I have no idea how we were able to fit our butts in two beds but oh well haha :P

First day pa lang iyakan na :) It's nice to know that im not alone :)
Stargate! :) ONE FOR ALL, ALL IV-1!
I love our hike. father edwin's so cool talaga. My weird baomiaow jump :)) i really want a copy na of our videos! haha I shouted there sa 'moutain top' I absolutely loved it when we were all singing your guardian angel.
I super love the affirmation part. That was WOW! Thank you so much guys, you make me feel sooo sooo soo loved. You guys make me feel strong and independent. I love our class.
Drop dead! :) Everyone was pretty, seriously. WE all had photoshoots in the garden. ayee.
The one with the parents was omg! sakit ng ulo ko after sa kakaiyak :P
Bonfire! yes! our section was the only one who had it outside. fun consecutive shots haha! my sunog hotdog :( Father edwin told us scary stories. HALA!
I love the sisters especially sister aissa (sp?). Thanks for the gift ninang :)
On our way home lahat tulog hehe.
I liked my second night in buguio. We were having a countdown for ria's birthday. So, while waiting, UBE! haha. Lysa i love you :) it was such a bad idea to play killer killer with only one light! anoo ba. sakit sa mata. Stayed up til almost 2am :P ohh! dana's concert!
It felt nice after hugging everyone, like even the people i don't really talk to.

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
