WOLC

“Same old. Same old.”

I thought to my self when we putted our baggage down. Why would I expect something in the place where we, let’s say, grew up? was there over our elementary years and going for the last time, didn’t give me any excitement. Everything is just the same, except for the facilities, of course.


When we arrived I expected the worst . Especially, when we got in our cabins and I’m saddened by the fact that our barkada isn’t whole. Jers and raffy is in Luzon (what can you expect?), Xai and Zai belong to the Masbate one or two, I’m not sure. And Gem, Seong, Mae Anne and me at Masbate 3 upstairs. I was killing me and I drop into conclusion—this ain’t going to be fun.


But, guess what?
I was DEAD wrong.


Everything may start badly, but the night gave us something we didn’t expect. I was overjoyed when some of my batch mates stayed in the auditorium to get back to JESUS. It was the best part. But, the camp fire did made everyone realized that our batch is that tight and left us with teary eyes.


During that camp fire, everyone is given a chance to speak up for what they’re thanking God for. Everyone who told us that the best thing they’re thanking is being our batch mates left a scar in my heart. I hate saying goodbyes. And they let me felt that they are. I almost break down in crying, but it didn’t stop. We continued the speeches inside the auditorium for our bonding session. There, more drops of tears came out my eyes, it was just touching that each of us loved one another, not just being a batch mates, but friends.


The highlight of that Bonding time is the parent’s letter to us. That time, I really broke down. I can’t contain the feeling I’m bottling up. That night, was the teariest but the BEST.


I don’t want to end everything.


This is a proof that not all that started so bad ended worst. It ended the best. Though, we’re not complete in the cabin,



Zharen + Cess + Yna + Sarah + Seong Hwa + Gem + Mea Anne + Mek + Mam Jo+ me =
a SLEEPLESS (but enjoyable) night.


After the retreat, I treasured them as truly my friends, and the letter cess gave me let me felt that I was even a part of them, even in small space.


The Retreat isn’t‘same old’ stuff.
It was the best!
Every moment will be treasured and every tear is worth it.
