after almost 2 weeks

God, I missed blogging! I HATE our server! A lot of things have happened since last week but I think the most significant would be the ABS Leasdership training we had in St. Scho Manila. It was a 3 day, 2 night event which was held from Feb. 3-5. It was tiring but it was worth it.

The first day was full of syomposiums and talks. Yes, it was boring. My eyes were falling down and I really wanted to sleep. So there. It was when we mingled with all the other ABS schools. We were 12 schools and over a hundred delegates. There was St. Scholastica's College Manila, St. Scholastica's College Marikina, St. Scholastica's Academy Pampanga, St. Scholastica's College of Health and Sciences Tacloban, St. Agnes Bicol, St. Alphonsus, St. Scholastica's College Bacolod, St. Peter's College Ormoc, St. Scholastica's College Cebu, St. Scholastica's College Bohol and St. Scholastica's College Westgrove. See, we were really plenty. We ended the first day without properly cleaning ourselves because the shower rooms were so crowded. We slept at 12 am. Oh yeah, Y Speak covered us.

The second day, we woke up at 2.45 am so that we could be the first ones to use the bathroom. haha We used it for an hour all by ourselves. Anyway, the second day was the most tiring. It was the day when we went all over the place. We went to an urban poor community near NAIA. (Gosh, Jonathan, the child I was with, and I became close. I miss him. awww) Then we went to Glorietta where we played in time zone. haha We were supposed to go to the job fair but they said it was optional so we didn't go. Ms. Det and Sir Shaun was with us because Ms. Kathy and Ms. Leah had to attend their classes. Then we went to Intarmuros and went to the lights and sounds museum. We had a peace walk that night for the people who died in the stampede in Ultra. We were able to take a bath before we went to sleep because people were so tired they went straight to bed. The more reason we had to wake up earlier the next day.

Third day, we woke up at 2 am because we knew people were going to flood the bathroom since they didn't take a bath the night before. Then we slept again until around 6.30 am but we were still very sleepy. We had mass at around 7 am. I swear, all of us were starting to fall asleep. Our eyes were automatically closing. haha The priest had this monotonous voice which sounded like a lullabye. haha Anyway, we then went to St. Scholastica's Center of Spirituality and then to Mendez Farm. Then we went back to Manila and had our Cultural presentations. After that, we went home.

The experience was really good. I learned a whole lot of things and met a bunch of people. Oh yeah, I know someone from the training who has a cruch on Mela. haha

the ultra

Let's all pray for the souls of those who died in the Ultra stampede.
