So today was our character show. I have posted before that I’ll be playing theGreek Goddess Demeter (CERES in Roman). I was dreading this day to come. Yes, I had my costume and props set, but I just don’t like dressing up that way… you know , as a goddess, you have to be confident, and I’m not that confident with my body and face :(

Here’s what happened.

The day before... I was cramming about my make-up, my hair, and my speech. I was starting to really hate this character show. I  thought, if only this isn’t a project.

My cousin practiced my hair and make-up. I slept at about 11pm already.

The next day… I woke up at quarter to 4am. Imagine that! I had less than 5 hours of sleep. brrrr. I took a bath, dressed up, ate, dried my hair, and then my cousin started the make-over. We finished before 6am. I waited for my service, and went to school at 6:10. Good thing, one classmate of mine is already there. More of my girl classmates arrived and at 6:30, we decided to change our costumes. The process of changing clothes was easy, I was kinda relieved on that part. teehee :))

We formed our line for the flag ceremony, danced the morning exercise (at the beginning, kamusta naman yun).. after the morning rituals in our school, we presented ourselves. In front of the madlang high school. We lacked practice so I know our presentation wasn’t perfect. But it’s still good… at least for us. :P That was another relief for me. I have one worry left, our group presentation (that includes my speech).

During recess, we ate our lunch already. I was so hungry that time..

During lunch, we practiced our group presentation. WE HAD A REAAALL HARD TIME CRAMMING FOR A PRESENTATION. LELS.

English time, we had a parade. I was wearing heels, and I was so uncomfortable. But whatever! Who cares?! lels. Our group, the Major Gods presented first (to the third year pilot section). We had a creative opening, and after that, we had our speeches. After our presentation, I was so relieved, I had no worries anymore. I’M DONE! YAYYY!! :D

We took pictures all day. Only one classmate of mine uploaded today, the others will surely upload this weekend. I’m so excited for my other pictures!! I’ll be uploading some later.

So this is my GODDESS EXPERIENCE. I WAS DEMETER. ♥

             Of all the gods and goddesses, I am one of the strongest, maybe not in power but in my ability to continue loving and nurture people no matter what is going on and how bad things get.

I had so much fun today. :))
At 1, I went at Mavic's house for our practice. I'm not really sure if we'll do great on Thursday 'coz we weren't really able to practice well. My fingers are crossed for an excellent presentation. We'll present something for the EMS tomorrow, then on Thursday is the presentation of God and Goddesses. Btw, my costume is done, my props are also done (I think and HOPE so), and I've asked my cousin to do my hair and make-up on that day. I hope everything will be great. PLEASEEEE LORD.
Then after practice, I went at SM. I met with my family there. My sister bought some clothes she'll bring with her on Saturday. I bought make-ups also, and luckily, I was able to grab a new blouse. :))) Lurve it <3 My sister will pay for it, HOHOHO :) After shopping, we ate at Gerry's Grill. We waited for about 15 minutes (as usual). I enjoyed the food, although I've ate there a lot of times already. I enjoyed the time with my family and with my sis, whom we hadn't seen for more than 6 months.
This is the last day of the looooong weekend. Thank you Lord for this 4-day vacation. I was able to rest and do stuffs. :))
OWWW, after two nights it's already BER! So fast >.<
*sigh*
I guess this is all for now, I gotta go. GOODNIGHT!

My sister just got home from Singapore. My parents surprised me and my other sister pa! They went at 2 am kasi last night. Their reason was they're going in Batangas to talk with someone. Then, this morning they woke us up and my sister is home! lels. Dami chocolates and I have a new pair of sandals ♥

I have just got home from the retreat. Will tell you everything.
I went in school at about 6:35 in the morning. There were only a number of retreatants that time. BTW, we were with two other sections. Before 7, we went in the bus already. We arranged our baggages and settled into our seats. Around 7:30, we started our journey to Tagaytay, Angels Hills Retreat House in particular.
Firs thing we did in the bus was to pray the rosary. Some slept, some talked. The bus driver opened the TV and when we cannot decide what to watch, our adviser requested a concert. So we watched Celine Dion's concert in Boston. FULLY. We finished it, lols. The driver opened the videoke. VIDEOKE IN THE BUS, DUDE!It was my first time. I sang a few songs. We enjoyed singing so much!
We were supposed to have a side trip that day. Unfortunately, it rained so we went straight to the retreat house. We went to our assigned conference room, registered, and waited for everybody. A retreat house personnel (if I remember it correctly, his name is Kuya Arnel) stated the rules and regulations that we had to follow during our stay in that place. After that, we met our speaker, Bro. Obet Cabrillas, better known as Daddy O. I already met him before; he was the speaker in the leadership traning in school. Honestly, I was kinda disappointed (that time) because I wanted someone NEW.
But, it's just fine. He was cool. He was funny. He was full of words of wisdom.I learned many things from him. New songs, quotations, etc. The discussion was centered about THE SECRETS OF BIG RETURNS (I'm not really sure if that's the exact title. you see, i did not take notes). It's the T3 - talent, treasure, time. I can clearly remember this one thing - discover your talents, develop them, and deliver. He also said we have to GIVE our TOTAL in all the things we do. Here is one quotation (the only thing I noted during the entire retreat) - "Be grateful for what you have while working for what you want."
We also made love pouches where our friends can put there love notes for us composed of positive things. Our class also made a love pouch (with letters from us) for our adviser. We enjoyed this activity so much and everybody took the opportunity to write the things we wanted to say to our friends/classmates. We also made a love pouch for Daddy O as a token :D
During the last night of the retreat, there was this activity where there arecandles that we had to light and give to someone whom we wanted to say I'm sorry/Thank you/I love you to. Everybody was crying. This was also the time when we were allowed to get our love pouches and read the letters. We were also given letters from our family, which was a surprise. I was crying. This part of the retreat touched my life.
About the foods:
They were not really something to die for. That feeling of loving every bite, it wasn't like that. The foods didn't taste bad either. Meaning to say, they were fine, and my appetite was contented although they're not so yummy. There were no deserts! Ugh, that part made me disappointed. We ate five times a day.Breakfast, morning break, lunch, afternoon break, dinner. Even though the foods were not so yummy, I still got my plate full every meal because I want to maximize the amount my parents paid for the retreat. In fact, because I ate way too much foods, I was called by mother nature twice. I know it's embarrassing. HAHAHA >< I feel  like I got fatter after the retreat. :<
About the room:
30+ girls shared in one room. There were more than 15 double-deck beds. We were given locker keys. Everything was okay in the room. Good thing there were no ghosts or whatever. It wasn't hot, there were a number of electric fans. When the lights were out, we didn't sleep right away, but we talked for a while until we felt sleepy. Girl talk.. you know =)
We also had some stop-overs on our way home. We bought PASALUBONGS.The bus was really full during our trip back to Baliuag. Of course, we also prayed the rosary. We slept for a long time, I think everybody was sleeping when we were in SLEX. We were really tired. After merienda, we sang songs again. It was really fun :D
hmm, I think this is all. My post is too long already, but who cares, it's up to you if you'll read my posts or not :D this is my blog anyway.
In conclusion (learnings from the retreat):
From this day on, I will give my total love, and total time to my family and friends and I will give my all in everything I do. I can do this successfully because I know God will guide me and show me the right path in life. :)
