*The Three-day Retreat*

Just woke up from my sleep. Today was the last day of our retreat and it's so sad to leave because we really love the place. The surrounding there is very peaceful and really suitable for reflections and thinking of deep thoughts because it is so quiet. You can really have a peace of mind. Away from the city, away from pollution...all that there is is fresh air. During the retreat, I realized a lot of things although I'm half asleep during the sessions. The activity that I loved the most is the "Labyrinth". It is so fun...I didn't know that talking to God like that is very relaxing. After doing that activity, it was like the entire burden inside me was gone. I felt so safe and so good...I felt like I don't have any problem anymore. In that activity, I really told God what I wanted to say and what I wanted to do with my life. I asked for his help and guidance. I also wished for a happy life. While I was at the center, I cried. I can't stop myself from crying because that's the only way I can release my emotions. I'm not the only one who cried but almost all of us cried. In every step I make in that labyrinth signifies events in my life. It maybe joys or struggles. But as I walk there, I'm conversing with God. I'm telling him all my problems and asking for a solution. It's fun although He didn't give me the answer to some of my problems. But it's okay. As long as He's there to guide me, I will be alright. I trust Him and I believe in Him.

Because of this retreat, I realized that I was very lucky to have this kind of life. The life that has all the things I need in order to live. A nice house, a lot of food to eat, a nice school wherein I can learn a lot of things, etc. Unlike some of those people in Batulao, or maybe not only just in Batulao but in different places too. Some of the children do not experience the life I have instead; they're experiencing a hard life. Imagine, they're going to school...walking, without any kind of transportation. And the school is far away from their homes. They go to school by means of walking for 2 hours and take note, the way or the path towards the school is very muddy. So imagine what will they look like before they reach their school? When we arrived in Batulao, the first activity that we did was to go to their school. It was very exhausting! We walked for one hour and we arrived at the school with aching legs and dirty foot wears. What more with those children who walks for two hours? Those children are also poor. Some of them cannot eat the appropriate food for them. We gave them Crossini Rolls as a pasalubong and most of them are already satisfied with that kind of food. See? How can you say that your life sucks? If your life sucks, then their life sucks even more. That's why I realized that I am so blessed. God gave me this life and I should be contented with it. I cannot ask for more knowing that many would like to experience the kind of life I have right now. Thank you Lord for this wonderful life.

This retreat is the happiest retreat I ever had. This one is unforgettable...I swear. It's so much fun. We even sang and danced the song "We Are the Church". It was the best! I will miss Father Chris. He was so nice and funny. We'll miss him! We hope to do this again soon…c= Actually, I have a lot more to say and explain but I'm too lazy. Hehe! Maybe next time...just wait for another post. Hey guys, you know what? There's another thing that makes me happy. I'm happy because Bubblegum and Candy touched my hand. c= Bastah, dami pa! It's so nakakatuwa talaga! Anyway, take good care people! May God bless you all...mwuahs~
