Yes, I’m a fourth year high school student, I have to say that I am so lucky, that I had the opportunity to share my other side to my classmates. I suppose that all high school graduates know what a retreat is all about, and know the importance of it.
At first, I have to admit that I totally, yes, totally unexcited.
We reached Villa Santa Luisa, Retreat house, Tagaytay at 10 am. Upon arrival, we received the casual sermon that our special section always gets from teachers, faculty, administration and staff, and were finally introduced to the retreat master.
After all the instructions given, we had a little snack together with our classmates, our friends and barkada in class, of which afterward, we proceeded with a few sessions.

As usual we have to surrender our cellphone and other gizmo.. kaya nyun last day na lang kami nakapagpicture-picture. But one thing that has really caught my attention and is stuck in my memory was "may tao sa bintana" all that crazy shit. And like I would always do uunahan ko sila matulog para di ako matakot. First night, I had only 4 hours of sleep. I know that true insomnia means. I hate insomnia not because it doesn't put me into sleep but puts me into the state of reminiscing memories which I know I can't bring back. The number of times we had to stand and kneel were countless and I was really sleepy during the mass! Crap! who fell asleep. Second day was "iyakan day" disgusting puffy eyes, star gazing, open forum and secrets have been revealed. They offered food for every two hours. The wind in Tagaytay is too cold to bare, Manila too warm and crowded because of the people buzzing here..
This retreat was indeed amazing..
