the place was really beautiful. i didn't know my school owns a place like that. now i know where part of my tuition is going. it was in alfonso, cavite... a three- hour trip from malate. because we are lucky little kids, our tires got flat when we were already in alabang so we were delayed by almost 40 minutes. thank god it was not traffic. when we arrived, the first meal was served-PANSIT baby. then we were given the time to go around the place, rest and just be alone. then we watched The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and the dark guy i don't know by name.
The second day, we did the usual activities on a retreat- talk, reflect, talk, activity, blah blah blah. The night was the most fun of all. When our guardian finally entered her room... ALAM NA! all went room hopping, stayed at the corridor, played the guitar, ate chips, kuwentuhan. oh... teenage life. then, it was past midnight, one of our classmates in the first floor shouted. our adrenalines went up. we ran like athletes back to our rooms. after a minute or two, all went out again when it was sure that there is no room-check happening . my classmate who shouted took a picture with the rest, and there on the screen was a face of a little boy looking like toshio of The Grudge. what could be more scary??? all went to the room of the boys to look at the photo. i didn't dare to look at it because i know i will just scare myself but yeah, based on their description... the girls went ballistic. we decided to sleep at one room altogether because all were so scared to go back to their rooms. then the ghost stories went on. it was the funniest moment.
the third day, we were all sleepy because of the event the night before. we had a mass and went home. it was realyy really fun but we feel so bitin. i hope we would have one again... with the ghosts- they make every retreat worth remembering. hahaha!
