Today is Marbert's Birthday! :) Yeah, I know it's kinda weird to write a blog about someone else's birthday, when my birthday was last August 25th, and his is August 27th. It's just that, I couldn't write anything about my birthday! Instead, I had so much fun at Marbert's birthday.
Well, after class, we were supposed to go home, but .. since Marbert has invited us for his birthday, we went to his house. His whole barkada was there, while I was with Minette, Laiza, and Chabell. The day was really fun, with all the food, chikka, and laughters we had. It was getting darker but none of us seemed to mind. :)
By the way, despite the happiness, I was also embarassed, because I was having my menstrual period and suddenly .. oh, you know what I mean. I felt so embarrassed, and I also felt pity for the poor chair. Good thing it wasn't made of cloth so the stain was easily wiped away. Sorry about sharing this incident tactlessly. ;) I just feel like it's sort of important, just so you know. :))
I got home at 9 pm. Miraculously, my father didn't scold me! Well, probably it was because he understood my reason, coz i clearly told him I went to a birthday party. That day was really one of the best hangouts in my life. :)

Today was such a nice day. Everything was in perfect balance. The cold breeze, my happy mood, and the fact that we had our recollection at Betania Retreat House, Malasag, Cagayan de Oro City.
The place was so quiet, so remote. Far away from the noise in the city and the roaring of cars on the highway. It was a perfect place to reflect and feel PEACE.
We traveled by van, and I was assigned in van number 3. Mrs. Macamay was our chaperon. We prayed the rosary, which is indeed very important when traveling. But when ma'am told us we still had to contemplate on the joyful mysteries, I could feel the frown on everyone's face inside the van. They were murmuring about exhaustion, but I continued on praying, although i must admit I was definitely tired, too.
When we reached the place, our mouths fell open. It was a paradise! From the hospitable employees who welcomed us, up to every little inch of the place, all I could say was "Wow." Everything was perfectly arranged.
As we stepped out of the van, we were instructed to form two lines, by gender. Slowly, we registered our names and entered the conference room. We were then given a short presentation about Betania and its facilities. After that, while we were waiting for our speaker, we were allowed to explore, but we should be back once we hear the bell ring.
The first place I went to was the sea-side view. It was fascinating. I could hardly see the sea, because it seemed like it was one with the skies. There were mushroom sheds, but i wasn't able to sit on it, because my feet didn't want to settle down. I wanted to roam around. But then, the bell rang, so we went back to the room.
Our speaker was Kuya Macky. He used to be a seminarian but he went out for almost 2 years to know if priesthood is really his thing. As he spoke to us with confidence and joy, I could really tell that teaching is his passion. He made us watch cool videos, but among all the videos, the one about Mr.Hoyt and how he supported his son, and the clip about Christ's sufferings, with the background music "How beautiful" really made me cry.
Aside from all the crying, the food was one thing I enjoyed! Ha ha! Especially lunch, because my favorite food was served! Spaghetti and fried chicken! These two dishes really make my mouth water.
The places where I hung out the most were the Duyan Deck and the Mountain View. The scenery was breathtaking. How I wish we had 10 recollections in one school year. :(
I will never forget this day. This is one of the BEST memories in my whole high school life.

I miss this! Typing words as swiftly as I can, as if someone's chasing me! Ha ha! It's such a nice feeling to be back!
I haven't written a post for almost a month, I guess, and I have loads of things to share here! But sadly, my memory serves me poorly. Honestly, I can't even remember how my freshman and sophomore life worked out! I'm hoping that this year would be different --- that I'd be able to remember each detail of my junior life.
Well, moving on, I would like to share some of the things I remember. Like maybe, the SOCCER and SCRABBLE teams bringing home the beacon! Or, the time Mrs. Macamay scolded us! It was terrible, feeling like each word was a needle pricking our hearts. We really did disappoint her, and so I'd like to apologize ma'am! Let's see, what else? Oh! Have I told you about our flunking during the folk dance elimination? I can still recall Mrs. Añasco's angry expression. The score of our group was 76%! Ha ha! That was so embarrassing! That's why I'm doing everything that I can for our bulletin board. At least we can show her we're not total losers after all. ;)
Hmmm.. Have you heard about all the punishments for our section? The solo hataw we did? Well, actually, THEY did, because I was late at that time. And the words we had to jog for Miss Magadan's satisfaction? Oh, that was so exhausting, but kind of funny because Miss Magadan's face looked like the whole world fell on her! Ha ha!
Oh, it's getting late, and I need to memorize 20 pages for our Research exam tomorrow. Can you believe it? Even if just a single word is missing or maybe stupidly added, automatically zero! That is way too harsh! :(
By the way, I'm working on a very special project. I'm writing a Stephenie Meyer inspired novel. Rowen started reading it, and she said I must continue! Well, this is my dreamy side. I always dream of ALMOST impossible things. But hey, who knows? Maybe my book would soon be the next NEW YORK TIME'S BEST SELLER. Ha ha! Silly me. Oh well, wish me luck for tomorrow! Whew! What a great relief it is to be able to write everything here. Words rush out as if they have been captives locked up for too long! ;)
