The Long Weekend
It was a Friday when we watched the official film of the school. It cost me 100 pesos just to watch that movie wherein I could watch another movie that would just cost me 75 pesos. Enough of that, I watched the movie along with my classmates and unluckily, we sat just in front of the silver screen. We sat down in the deluxe area, and it was really unfair and I was disappointed since we all paid equal amount of money and that's what we are going to get? Nevertheless, we were able to finish the show at around 10 PM and by that time, I was really hungry. The mall was already close at that time and my friends and I decided to have a walk or rather to walk around the mall. While walking, we had some pictorials. After that we crossed the street and went home. Actually, before going home, we were joking around since we are about to leave and a girl friend of ours is going to be left alone in the dark. However, she was able to manage her way home.
The next day, it was the Leadership Training that was held in the Ateneo Sports Complex. I arrived at school bringing with me my luggage. I registered and sat down. I saw my classmates and the program was about to start. After about 10 minutes, the program started and we settled down. We knew that we are all going to be separated and going to be assigned to different teams. I was in the Lime Team and sad to say, I don't know any of my group mates unlike my other friends; they knew some of their group mates. But later, I was able to know some of my team mates and we started to talk. We had fun in the first day and we had a lot of ice breakers. I could remember the time when I met new friends. It was really fun.

Those lines, I could never forget. Those were the two words that were repeated over and over again by the host of the program. The first day ended at around 2:30 AM the next day and I was really hungry at that time. So what we did is that we went to McDonald's to have a midnight snack. We told the guard that we are just going to buy some soaps and toothpaste in the convenience store. My friend went to MTS just to defecate. After that, we went to McDonald's the unusual way. We passed through the drive way and we were chased by a car so we ran. Unfortunately, the door was closed so we passed by the main entrance. I ordered and so did my friends. After that, we went back to the school and ate our snacks. We decided to pass through the dark administration building and we felt something unusual and my friends saw "something." We actually didn't go to sleep. We only had about 15 minutes to take a rest and then we took a bath because it was 5:00 AM at the moment.
We had the amazing race. This is the highlight of the whole Leadership Training. I really had fun with my team. I never experienced all the excruciating pain. I trusted my team mates during the station "Catch Me I'm Falling". I was really soaked dirty because I lay down in mud and was really wet at that time. That night, I really had a lot of body pains. Pamaol – muscle pains. So, I decided to be absent on Monday. I could barely walk and rise from the bed because of all the pain. Still, it was worth it.
Tuesday, I was scolded by our moderator. I don't care what others say about me, all I want is to live my life. But still, I have my conscience, so I ask for her forgiveness and she did too. Now, maybe I could say that I'm at peace. This happened maybe because I sat in our unlucky chair.
Lately, I'm not going to Berchmans, simply because I have this feeling that I am really OP – Out of Place there. And why will I make a fool out of myself if I know that fact. They're going to have their retreat next week and so I should start writing letters for them. I will just write to those who wrote me first. Again, I won't write to my enemy.
Another thing that I learned this day from our Filipino is this:
"We could be as soft as a pillow when we love somebody but when we are hurt, we could be as hard as a stone."
Weird as it may sound but I was affected by this line. Maybe because I was a victim or rather, I was able to experience this. Somehow, I used to be caring but the mere fact that you've just used me and wasn't thankful for everything I've given, now, I AM REALLY AS HARD AS A STONE.
Till then blog, that's what I could remember as of now.
