Last Saturday, we had our batch retreat. I woke up at around 5:30 am. I immediately prepared the things that I’m going to bring and placed them on my bag. After packing my things, I took a bath. After bathing, I dressed myself up and after a few minutes Shydel arrived in our house. She was bringing a lot of things; we then waited for Jessa because we will go to the supermarket to shop for goods that we will need. It was funny because we had a deal that we would speak Tagalog inside the supermarket and if anyone of us speaks another language aside from Tagalog will buy something for us. All of the people who hear us ask us if we came from Manila. After buying the things that we need we then headed our way to UP high. Assembly time was at eight in the morning at the UP grounds.
We had a psychological activity facilitated by Madam. Maglasang. We tackled on the possible outcomes of different situations that we might experience. We were grouped and we shared our answers to our group mates. Our answers were quite the same. Maybe it’s because of our age and mentality. After discussing with our group mates, we then discussed our answers as a class.
After the discussion, we had another activity called plus delta. We were then divided into two groups. One of the groups will sit in the chairs forming a big circle. They are asked to close their eyes. The other group will say something good or positive to the ones seated in the circle. As I was listening to what they are saying, my eyes became teary and later on my tears were starting to fall. I never thought that they appreciated the small things that I’ve done for them. I did not even know that I was kind and talented. The things that they told me made my heart fat. They always say “way kalimtanay ha.” Of course I will never forget you guys.
The bond of friendship that we had created was already something. It was strengthened by the pressure and trials that we have encountered. I was really glad to hear them say nice things of me. When it was already my groups turn to say positive things of them, I cannot stop my tears anymore. I told each one of them what I feel and how I appreciate their presence.
After that activity, I realized that the bonding we have created was already something. During lunch break I did not eat because I ran out of money because of the things I bought from the supermarket. When the jeepney arrived, we immediately got our bags and hurried ourselves to the jeepney.
In the jeepney, we had a deal and that was to speak Tagalog all throughout the trip to St. John’s Mission. If anyone in the jeepney speak another language aside from Tagalog will have a punishment. The trip was so fun because the road to St. John’s Mission was going up and down. At last we arrived in the venue for our retreat. I have been there once so I was not that amazed. The place was very suitable for reflection.
