Ah, yes. Holy Week. I decided to go with my Mom’s decision for me to go to a retreat but before that I went to give few reminders for the Grad Assessors. After that, I prepared myself for a 3-day retreat.
It was my first time in Laguna Hills and the place really gave me a good impression after stepping down from the van. The retreat really helped me to realize more things, get a right decision to most confusions I had for the past few days. I guess God was really doing his job. Even though I have numerous headaches and worries about a lot of stuff like not waking up early, I was able to, weirdly, overcome those. I was reading a book during the entire retreat period, though I’m not yet done but I can say it is a great book. The book was “Man the Saint” by Jesus Urteaga. Erwin suggested me to read that book. I realized a lot more about different people regarding my religion after reading few pages. I’ve also learned more but I cannot put those into words right now. Maybe when I’m done with the book.
Few things though, I was able to come up with a decision to one of my confusions in life. Yup, maybe you can say that it’s rubbish but it means a lot to me. It was the very first girl I fell in love with, though she’s not now. I tried talking to her before just to regain the friendship but I guess I left a very big ditch that cannot be patched anymore. I guess I really made a big mistake, that’s why I’m trying to get the bricks back to rebuild the wall. But I think my efforts aren’t going anywhere. So I think I have to do the U-turn. Um, I see no point talking to her now since she’s not following any of the advices I gave, which makes me think that I’m a pretty useless friend. Lets me think also that her words before might be sugarcoated. Hay, I guess I really have to move on. I feel useless and besides, I’ve done all I can to retain the friendship but I guess her side is the one not complying. I guess one word can describe it, bitterness. 😀 Hhahah! Just a joke. MOViNG ON~!
The retreat was very nice but the most memorable part of the retreat was when one of our tires were torn after entering the South Luzon Expressway. The cops or the highway security were making fun of us, I guess, just because we were having fun lifting the van. 😀 And there was one instance where a wind blew the van and since the foundation of the jack was pretty much unstable, the jack went off, dropping the drumbrake on the ground. Yep, the wheel was already removed. But with a bit of thinking with most of us from Management courses and few in engineering courses, and a great help from a cop by giving us a wooden which took him minutes to get, we were able to lift the van. But we saw that the spare tire was also torn. Good thing, Gab, who was one of us at the center and happened to pass by was able to give us a ride to purchase a new tire. It was fun. It was my first time to get my hands filthy dirty on the road for real. 😀
After that, we went back to Lauan and I was fetched by my family to go to the Easter Vigil at UA&P. After the vigil, we ate dinner with my older brother’s godparents and their family and went home afterwards.
For the realizations, I still can’t put them into words but any habits involving physical attributes, maybe I can say some. I can now wake up by myself though I still have to work on it so that I can wake up early. I now have to balance my eating times as well as get everything organized. That retreat was really a big help, it even made me take a bath in cold water which I usually don’t like. 😀
