The meaning of having a good time is singing while people now your voice is crap

This happened on our retreat, as you know we stayed two night there. These nights were particularly hard to sleep through, but I had fun... I think. You see, my roommates, they would sing some songs before going to bed. Not the kind that lulls people to sleep. It was songs that in the middle of sleep it would jerk your eyes open. I was victim of this for two nights in a row. majority of the male population in our class watches and guess what they would sing. I would be physically jerked from my peaceful slumber to their world of singing, and I joined a bit. As they say "When in Rome do as the Romans do". Their selections are and not limited to: anime theme songs, "wag ka nang umiyak?, and occasional tunes that men would easily identify. I'm never sleeping with these guys again, though singing might be fun...

Discipline is the key to maintaining one's integrity

So at the retreat house there was a swimming pool, and where there's a swimming pool there's bound to be swimmers. Now, here is the thing that seems to not leave my mind, about that pool, that saw a lot of blood. It was the last day, we were given free time to do anything we wanted: strolling around permitted,eating to you hearts content permitted, sleeping till you need to pack up  permitted, swimming permitted. Out of those activities mentioned the majority wanted to go swimming, even though were in a cold climate they braved the frigid air just to have a moment of fun. True frontiersmen. They had their fun, I on the other hand mainly wanted to have a nice stroll around the place, though there weren't many places to visit I found the aura of the place soothing, but every time I went near that forsaken pool I would hear loud screams and crashing waves. It ruined the walk. Now, aside from that, there was one thing my male classmates would say when they went near water. That their Byakugans* would activate. You know why, let me tell you a recipe for it okay? Water + White T-Shirt + Female= Byakugan. This is why I went walking instead of going with them. I forbid myself from using the Byakugan.

Byakugan= a technique used to see beyond something. e.g clothes.

You don't realise it but the pain you've felt in the past is no longer here

On the first week of the month, I encountered a annoying parasite. I contracted Amoebiasis. It's a intestinal parasite and I spent at least 1/3 of that week in the bathroom. It wasn't pleasant and it most certainly wasn't a good experience,but it stuck to me, the pain that is. Every time I go to the bathroom, I'm reminded of my silent pleas of help, while my rectal region is in a state of disarray. Every time I enter, I hear the echoes of silent screams and groans of displeasure. Now I'm better, I can't seem to get it out of my mind the pain of letting something go... feels bad man.

Life gives you a second chance if you're willing

So, we reached our destination, this is a continuation from the last post,I managed to survive the first day and slept soundly the first night. I survived the second day, but the second night got me. So at the place we were staying at it has these ginormous spiders, some were even in arms length. What got me that night was that out of our window was the largest we've ever seen at the place. It was positively enormous, its size was about a grown man's palm. The plan they thought of of catching it( my roommates at the time) was to catch it before it catches you, at the time it was the best plan. Don't question it. So "S" was the one tasked to catch it they said if he managed to catch it it would be his, but sadly "S" didn't have enough confidence in himself and one thing led to another, the spider went up its web into the nearby tree. We were decimated, our prey escaped. But I believed in miracles and the spider went back down! We were excited, the heavens have given us a second chance. "S" caught it. If you're wondering what made this scenario so enjoyable was that we were trying to fit in a 3 by 5 feet window, bear in mind that there were 5 people trying to look out the window, we didn't just looked out the window almost half of our torso's were out. imagine walking by and seeing 5 boys looking out of the window torso deep.

Sitting still in one position is hard to do

It was the morning of our retreat day, well it was fairly morning, since we departed late, i think we were supposed to depart at 6 sharp, but ended up departing 7, due to someone, not attending yet the other day claimed she was going. The vehicle we were riding on was a white van, don't let the imagination run wild, it was a plain van. The class was divided into three for we had only three vans. I was put with the sleepy heads and the one guy with the most the most energy. So while on the trip, it would have been dead silent if it weren't for this guy, enter "L" loud mouth extraordinaire. His act include obnoxious voices, invasion of personal space, and an attitude that can't seem to pick between serious or jolly. He sat beside me. So imagine this picture, a small boy sitting straight in the corner of a moving van with a medium? sized clown in glasses has his arm around the boy and making seductive faces. that was me, the small boy. I did not get sleep for the duration of the ride. To put into perspective how badly I wanted to sleep. I woke up at 5 O'clock in the morning, forced myself to eat and clean myself to go to to school to go to the retreat home which was a 3 hour drive. For those 3 hours I could have slept on, i was sitting straight and constantly being watched by "L". My body got there safe, but I think part of died while on that ride. I'm never getting on the same van, no, the same vehicle with him. This was not exactly the best part, but to me the best parts are things that move the soul, in this case, it didn't just move it it tore it off and flung it off the van I was riding.

Totally did not forget this existed

Hey, how it going? I haven't done an entry for a while now and this weeks the deadline. I messed up. So to cover the lack of any progress this month I will be sharing the best moments the whole month of September has to offer. Now I know I still have not gone and made the reflections of August but I'm in a dire situation right now. So this is how its gonna plan out. Each entry is gonna be one story, in those stories ill be narrating it like a boss and telling what happened, and I'm totally not gonna lie about stuff *wink. So i guess the amount of entries I still need to do are about 10+ so, I hereby promise that I will tell 9 different stories. The next entry will be all about how painful the ride was to our retreat destination. See you.
