kakagaling ko lang sa spiritual retreat...

...mula feb.6-8, 2008. soon[er or later] , i will be posting pictures. oo. after i get the pix from ron, my new friend from psych.

Our retreat was held in Caleruega, somewhere in Nasugbu, Batangas. Since ever, I thought Nasugbu only had beaches and shores. BUT, NO! Caleruega is a purely heavenly place.

Anyway, i needed, desperately, that spiritual retreat. sobrang stressed ko na sa buhay (eskwela, personal, etc.) and i desperately needed a break. My body's giving away to fatigue. Yung lungs ko muntik nang naging powderized due to excessive chalk-particles inahlation. Wala na rin akong boses ng mga panahong yun (dulot ng pagsasalita, pagsaway etc ng mga chaotic na HS students, for six hours a day, five days a week), puro junk food na lang di-ni-digest ng tyan ko. Moreover, puro pollution na lang ang nalalanghap ko sa Maynila. Ay oo nga pala, anim na taon na pala akong di nakaka-confess. My last good cnfession was when i was still in high school. grabe. todo accumulate na yung mga kasalanan ko. true enough, nung nag-examination of conscience ako, isang papel na back and forth na puno ng sins written in small handwrting ang resulta. When I finallly got to confess, i thought i was going to cry. pero wala. not even a lump in my throat. ewan ko ba. perhaps because the place was so peaceful. yung confession spot ko, angganda ng view. nasa garden kami nung pari, with a view of the mountains. tas sunset pa. Ewan ko ba. After that, i felt refreshed. nabawasan yung mga bitbit kong pinakakatago-tagong stuff, hehe.

I met a lot of people during the retreat. I got to bond with Psych-students. ang kulet nilang lahat, grabe!! Pero. Ang palagay nilang lahat saken e mabait, shy, cute/maganda, tahimik, mahinhin, angelic face, at (eto di ko nakayanan) Mutya ng Pilipinas/Binibining Pilipinas! hahaha! ah, how looks can deceive.

Siguro andami kong natutunan sa retreat na yun tungkol sa sarili ko at sa ibang tao. Andami ding mabuting naidulot nun saken: gumaan ang pakiramdam ko because i didn't get to eat that much junk food kase walang tindahan nearby. bawal magyosi (pero iba ang realidad sa loob ng girls' CR). Walang chalk at chalkboard na kelangang lapitan at sulatan. walang samu't -saring polusyon. hindi kilangang sumigaw o lakasan ang boses.

Puro nature talaga. garden and plants everywhere. At Angganda ng chapel. Its called the Transfiguration Chapel. Dn daw sh-in-oot yung wedding scene ni Kris at Wedell sa sukob. If ever I'm going to get married someday, I'd love it to be solemnized there.

I'll post pictures as soon as i freaking can!
