.:CSI Season Ender Retreat:.
It's another boring day at work. I should have just went on leave and went to Eat Bulaga with the rest of the JoLogS GaNg... But here i am, stuck at the office...
I guess I'll just reminisce on the CSI Season Ender Retreat last week. Hehe...
It was held at the Caliraya Re-Creation Center last Dec 27-29, 2005. Super fun but super tiring. It was I think one of the most memorable retreats for me. I really learned a lot.
The work for me started even before the camp. Benson and I were in charge of the layouts for the materials. So even before the retreat, we were busy doing the layouts for the materials, and also for the action points. Then, Jolojolo texted me a couple of days before the retreat if i wanted to be part of the security team. Hehe, i said yes, without having any idea what the responsibilities of the security team were. Hehe, ang dami pala!
The security team met up at around 5AM at CCF. Jolo told us that we were in charge of the Registration. I thought there was a separate REG team. I was wrong! The REG team that I was thinking of was the REG when we get to Caliraya! Anyway, Bens and I were in charge of Bus2. We were also the bus marshals of the bus. Basically we had to make sure that everyone on the list was on the bus. We took two stops, and on both stops, we had to make a full roll call, so we could make sure that no one got left behind. *ohana-a* =P
Anyway, we all made it to Caliraya, but when we got there, it was raining! The campers didn't bring umbrellas, so most of us were wet! It took a lot of time, but finally we got everyone to the lobby. That means we went through *bus-mud-boat-jeep* Everyone was tired and wet, but hey, the day has just begun!
During sessions, we had to get everyone inside the session hall. we were in charge of herding the lost sheep into the hall to listen to the word of God... hehehe... easier said than done! There were a number of "Pasaways" that made herding quite difficult, but most of them were angels. =P
The round really killed my legs. We had to do rounds for meals, sessions, dawnwatch, etc... Once, jayjay and I went to do our rounds near the mudslide, when we got there, it started to raiN! gosh! and we didnt bring any umbrella with us. We unded up being soaked (and Coco just laughed at us)... thanks ah! Hehe, she even wringed my jacket and it produced a good amount of water. Kewl! It's really only by God's grace that we didn't get sick.
Being part of the security team was an experience to remember! Hehe, it was fun to talk into the radios and report to Jolojolo that my area was clear! Jolojolo! Haha! its weird how everyone has to call him that. It seems "wrong" to just call him Jolo!
Aside from our responsibilities, we also had loads of fun. It was joketime, funtime, frisbee time and mudslide time! We played frisbee and our team won! Kewl! It was one of the most fun frisbee games I've ever played - even if the people were super competitive! easy lang LeeJay! Hehehe, he bowled me over while trying to catch the frisbee. Exag! The mudslide was super fun too! haha! I was with Xie, Katre (aka Dolor), Anton, Bert and Jayjay, hehe, it was super fuN! Every nook and cranny of me was just filled with mud! haha! coolness!
But I had to pay for all that fun though. My body ached like hell the next day!!! Haha, I was asleep the whole day when I got to Manila!
I just have my Jesus to thank for that wonderful experience. Thank you Jesus for everything you have done in my life. I could never have imagined my life to be this happy and joyful. Not in a million years. My Jesus saved me from the pits and gave me the most wonderful and inexplicable joy i have ever known. Haha,its a joy and peace that stems deep within my soul. Its not the circumstances that make me happy, but its Jesus in me. :)
