Day 1 (May 3) - Opening Night
As early as 6 in the morning, all campers should be there at the church for the bus will fetch us there. I took 3 bags with me (a shoulder bag, lunch bag and the clothes bag :p) w/c looked like I'm gonna stay at camp for a week..haha! Actually, 3 days and 2 nights lang un :)
So,un..The boys were seated at the back part of the bus while the girls were seated in front..
My seatmates: Lani and Ela :D
Bus pa lang, may program na..nagkaroon ng Praise and Worship (girls vs. boys! haha!) and Message by Kuya Jo..
Nag-stop over sa Pampanga ata.. di sure..to eat lunch :)
We arrived at about 2pm..sa Highlands Camp, Iba, Zambales!!! *insert screams, shouts, and whistles here*
4 pm pa kami pinababa..kaya chikka chikka muna! :D
Aun..IDs were given and sa dorm 3 kaming mga girls.. Ang mga beds namin (triple deck o.o) ay malapit sa cr.. Advantage to! :D At first, sa pinakatop deck ako magsstay, but on second thought, ang hirap umakyat baba eh.. :P So my bedmates are Ate Twinee and Ate Rica :) lower deck kami. (haha barko??)
After i-arrange ung mga things namin, we went to the auditorium for the Order in Chaos and Games and Activities..

Storm Team kami!!!!!! The other teams are Cyclops, Wolverine and Archangel!
Team Leader namin c Kuya Jo then c Kuya Jhayrone ung assist. :)
Cheering Time. La kaming laban.. hehe.. so the other teams got 20k points..kami daw 5??! :P

This wouldn't be in order na kung anung nangyari that night..

1. Film viewing..Magneto and Wolverine fighting..Magneto defeated..then singing 'Di Ako Bakla'..then ung commercial ni Manny Pacquiao and Eric Morales, Magneto and Wolverine Version..LOL tpos c Jean Gray and Wolverine going to camp..xempre may sweet moments sila ((").("))---eyes covered haha!
2. Drama...meron nanamang 'Di Ako Bakla' dito.. wahahaha!
3. Praise and Worship! Jump as high as you can, dance like there's no tomorrow, and sing with all of your heart for God! :D :D Tumalon talon kami sa harap ng stage!
4. Tough Guys Demo...the best ito! Nagbreak ng wood, blocks of ice, at baseball bat! oha! Feet and arms lang ang gamit :P
5. Session X--serious ito..*
Tpos back to our dorms na..
Gamit na gamit ang extension ko eh.. wahahaha!:P
Chikkahan and foodtrip hanggang 12am (2 hours after mag-lights off)...tpos shut down na :)

Day 2 (May 4)- Challenge Day
Morning..Nag-meet up ang mga JICC sa may playground para magdevotion.. Late ang boys, so.. nag Praise and Worship nalang kmi :) Paos na kmi nito..

I haven't typed about our food noh? hehe:P basta, it's so organized. Just make sure you don't lose your ID so you can eat your meal :) and muka kaming mga prisoners! We all have the same food and its a balanced meal.. Rice, 2 ulam, fruit/dessert tpos may water or coffee for breakfast. Oha! I can live there! :D

After ng breakfast, we went to the auditorium again for another set of activities.. At *dumdumdum* may love notes na part dito.. Ang host ang magriread.. kaya masaya! Ung pnakaunang love notes na sample e c Kuya Jhayrone ung sinulatan.. haha! Galing! :D

May game nga pala! :D Per team, may 1 girl at boy na magaling kumanta na representative.. Pinakanta sila, pero hindi un ung main na pinagawa.. Mayo time!! wahahaha.. May tray ng mayonnaise na didip-an ng muka ng guy.. then ung girl isuscoop niya ung mayo sa mukha ng guy using a hotdog paper plate.. Si Kuya Coy at Ate Apple ung participants sa Storm! 2nd place kami.. not bad! :D

Then, Session M.. *

Lunch time!!!! wahahaha! Sarap ng lunch namin! Beef Stew~~~or Nilagang Baka! :P :P Busog na busog kami nun!
Then nagpawater baptize ako... :) bago un, nagtago kami nila Mark and Lani sa ilalim ng shade ng kiddie slide. :P Init kasi eh T_T

Games naaaaaa!!
May 4 stations. Ang order ng pupuntahan naming stations ay station 2, 1, 4, 3 :)
Station 2:
Mud Slide! Wahahaha! First, get an ice bag, then fill it with water. Knot it and bite the plastic and make sure that it wont fall even if you're not holding it. Then un! Slide ka na! Splash! Then get to the part wherein there's a wall and knock three times and throw the bag to the other side of the wall. 1 bag is for 1k points, I think :P
Well, in the Storm team, not all are from JICC(our church)..kaya ung iba hindi nagparticipate.. JICC girls did the job! Tapos ung ibang JICC boys din :) :) It was quite dirrrty, though. Want a hug? :D
Station 1:
Box Race! May box.. papasok ang 25 girls sa loob.. may tagabuhat na boys sa labas.. tapos maglalakad sila hanggang sa other side.. tapos 25 boys naman ung papasok.. blah blah.. ang hirap nito! lalo na kapag nasa likod ka.. I got a wound sa may left heel ko eh.. ouch. Pero it was fun knowing that nakailang balik kami ng mga JICC girls! wahahaha! This time, alikabok naman ang kalaban namin..=P
Station 4:
Eto lang ung hindi ko nilaro. Instead, nagpicture picture kami and chikkahan! XD tatawid ka lang naman sa wood + rope thingy eh.. for little ones and marunong magbalance ito...
Station 3:
Yeah! Tatawid din to.. sa kawayan naman. And may hawak kang ball. At may tagasalo sau sa baba..at tubig naman sa baba kaya ok lang.. na-sprain c Kuya Jhayrone.. kawawa naman.. Laughtrip ito! Pati ung mga tagasalo pinagtitripan.. Namimili pa daw ung mga girls ng hahawakan na tagasalo.. haha! Ung ibang taga salo naman nanananching.. tsktsktsk!!

After ng games..takbuhan na sa kanyakanyang dorm! :D Whew, nauna naman ako sa CR. Thankfully. Its good to be clean of mud. haha!

Dinnertime.. chicken curry!! yum!! :D

Games! Girl na maganda naman ang kailangan ngaun. C Ate Grace ang pambato namin! (throw her now! haha!) Turns out ung game pala is ung pagkuha ng fish sa isang container with water... Guess what?! Si Ate Grace pa ung nakakuha ng pinakamaraming fish! Mga 11 ata un, then ung next sa kanya 2 lang ung nakuha! Tapos siya pa ang pinakapretty! :D Go Storm!!

Praise and Worship..brutal na ang talunan nito eh.. so sa kanya kanyang chairs nalang kami tumayo and nagjump jump!! :D

Bonfire! Weee! Tumawag ng 10 volunteers para magshare sa experiences nila.. so out of 1000+ people, isa sa 10 na un ung churchmate namin! C Ron! Way to go! :D

Before we return to our dorms, nagkape muna kami sa canteen :) and picture picture na rin :D

Then..bago matulog, chikahan, foodtrip, txttrip at nagpamassage kami nila Ate Twinee and Ate Rica kay Lani :) galing nia magmassage! :D :D nakakawala ng pagod. Slept at 2am.

Day 3 (May 5)- Final Destination
I woke up before 5am na. No one was awake. Kaya akala ko maaga pa un. Pero may devotion pa diba.. So I took a bath na..

Devotion time! Kami nila Karen, Ate Rica and Ela ay nagsolo sa may taas ng slide. Sharing and everything :) tapos after nun, Praise and Worship ulit kami :) Super paos naaa!!! then laro sa seesaw!

Tapos un, nagbreakfast na kami... bumili ng t-shirts and pins.. :D

May game ulit! :D A girl who knows how to dance and a boy who knows how to sing are needed. Sina Lani and Ron samin. :) Then the game goes like this.. the guy will blow a balloon until it reaches the other side until it pops using a sharp object in the girl's mouth (nasa other side din un.) may box na nagseseparate sa kanila.. Kami ulit panaloooooo!!! Galing magblow ng balloon ni Ron! :D :D

Hay, we hate to leave that place, but we have to.. T_T sawi noh? Anyway, ung scores namin pinakita na... 4th place ung Cyclops, 3rd place ang Wolverine, 2nd place kami, then champs ang Archangel! Not bad diba?? :) Ang difference lang naman ng Storm and Archangel is 5k points eh.. :) kaya ok lang.. 967k and 972k points.. :D

X-men: Make A Stand

Thats our theme for the youth camp tomorrow! Weee :) That means I'll be away for 3 days..
I'm gonna miss blogger, friendster, sasa forums and multiply because there'll be no internet connection up there in Iba, Zambales..or worse, computers :p But this will be a chance for me to reflect and fulfill my soul with God.. :D

I've been very busy since Thursday.. Ack.
Well, actually, I've been busy since April 1. :p
But my headaches started to kick in last Thursday T_T

What did we do last thursday?
Aha, good question. We were practicing for our upcoming concert on June 1 :)
When you say practice, that can be synonimous to play, laughtrip and foodtrip.
Yess, we were getting carried away with the songs. It doesn't matter anymore if you get out of tune or you dance too much. :p
Bibbo was bangag at that time, and it his mood was contagious. I was like a Crush Gear that was turned on at that time (accrdg. to chris) haha!
Kuya Jhayrone wanted to dance with our churchmates for the song finale entitled "Church On Fire".. and he was making his own steps! Bouncy ones. ahahaha! He WILL stand out for sure.
The mongo bread was cut in unequal slices! Who sliced it? Hanna! :p

How about last friday?
Ah, yet another practice for our worship service (this is different from the practice for the concert :p). I'm just a trainee, so I have to attend to complete my required 6 sessions to become a fully-pledged back-up singer. haha:p 2 more sessions to go :)
What triggered my headache? The kids and the teens! haha! They wanted me to take off my contact lens so they could see what it looks like. While I was taking it off, all of them were gathered around me and staring intently at what I was doing, afraid that they might miss something spectacular.. :p Then we played concentration, ate bread and an endless jamming. Sam was soo hyper! She was singing too loud and rock-ish, to think that were singing christian songs. Everyone was laughing at her or riding along with her trip. haha:p At the end of the practice, the lights were turned off while we were still inside the church. The kids were still hyper. They wanted me too add them in friendster. Hmm. Good thing I remembered that. I'll add them later :)
Ariann, Dona, Sam, Nat, Erica, and the 2 other teens. I loovve them! :D

Saturday is busier than it seems.
First Stop: MSA. review class eh. haha:p of course, mejo nagkaheadache nako nito dahil ang dami naming inaral T_T (8am-12pm)
2nd: Mom's office..to eat lunch. Tita Juliet's bicol express was sooo gooood! :D I took mom's extra rice, as usual.(12pm-1:30pm)
3rd: Bahay namin. pero di na rin ako nkapagpahinga kc may visitor ako, c Leland, my anak. haha! aun, catching up with each other for 1 and a half hour/s.. (limited time eh :c) pero masaya naman! :D (3pm-4:30pm)
4th: Church. Camper's orientation. Na-late pako nito eh.. kasalanan ni anak! :p but when I arrived, I wasn't late pa pala. di pa nagstart eh. haha.. hinintay ako? o yun, we were just given reminders of what to bring and not to bring to camp, proper attitude and wake-up time. Then nag-meeting for the concert kasi change na daw ng sched, June 1 na ung concert, not June 2. weee! :D(4:30-6:30pm)
5th: Grocery. tamang-tama, I need to shop for my things sa camp. hakot pa rin ng hakot kahit na pagod na! :p

Sun-day. Yes, its hott..
1st: Church. Sunday worship service. :) I make it a point to bring my fan everytime I go to church.. to save me from heat :p TFEN meeting.
2nd: Bahay namin. To eat lunch and nap a li'l. I tried to review my lecture notes but I can't because if I move a little to reach my notes, I'll be sweaty. I tried to sleep. But the bed was too warm. Though I was able to nap, I woke up groggily from the heat. T_T
3rd: Robinsons and shang plaza at mandaluyong. looked for copy centers. we found 1 :) then ate merienda after.. I'm regretting that I didn't buy at Auntie Anne's T_T
4th: CGS- California Garden Square. We have to inspect our condomenium so we could request for necessary adjustments. We have to bring an architect along though, and Tito Karloh went there to the rescue!..with Tita Adena, Karlah, Adrian, Kathryn and Angela..in other words, the whole Gonzales family! :p
From our condo unit, you can just jump right off the window so you can reach the pool downstairs. That is, if you plan to commit suicide. :p Adrian desperately wants to swim, and we were suggesting that he should jump! haha! We also went to the clubhouse, which have facilities like the gym, badminton court, and lil space for special occasions :)
5th: EW Libis. Nilibre ako ni Tito sa Seattle's! Weee! Score! :p Ayaw kc magcoffee nila mom eh.. ayan tuloy.. :p My cousins went inside the Chuckie Bus.. well, I don't know what it is really called eh.. Then mom went somewhere to take pics of the dogs.. A chowchow is soo adorable! I wonder why its tongue is bluish gray in color...? hmm..
Then we went to Shanghai Bistro. Ate dinner, but before that, xempre laughtrip muna. Mejo scandalous kc c Angela. When she wants something, she says it aloud. For example, when tita was given a bowl of soup, Angela will say, "momi I want soup!" and she will do an irritated sound w/c is a warning that she is about to cry. We find that funny, though. Then his kuya (Adrian) will say a loud "ssshhh", to keep Angela quiet. But that only signals that its Adrian's turn to be noisy :p
I almost forgot. I over ate T_T the tray of cold cuts were sooo yummy kasi eh and it tastes better with rice! I stole mom's bowl of rice w/c is usually uneaten.. haha! aus un db? So 2 bowls of rice all in alll.. plus the bottomless iced tea! Talk about a heavy meal.. :)
Before we left SB, we took out food for pasalubong for the Austrias.
6th: Pasig. On the way, my tummy was aching. T_T I think you know why. Anyway, I saw my cousins again! :) Ate Marla, Maris and Ken. weee :) The last time I saw them was last Oct29.. Oh how fast the time flies naman! Ate Lala have bangs. sooo pretty :) Maris is getting taller and she is now up to my eyebrow. Noooooo :c am I not getting any taller?? Ken is getting healthier and healthier, chubbier and chubbier, which means he is getting cuter and cuter!!! :D
Tita Sor gave us some chicharon before we left. My breakfast for the next day :)

Monday. Kind of a rest day. :p
We practiced for our concert together with the dancers. The music in the CD was kinda different with the live band, so they need to make necessary adjustments. Ang cute ng mga dance! Kuya Allan is good at that :)
Nasira ung mga mic ng mga back-up. I'm kind of thankful for that. I'm afraid of microphones kc eh. haha! Kaya next practice we have to bring our own mic :)
Makulit nanaman c Ariann. While I was talking to Bibbo, she puts the mic in front of my mouth. Muntik ko na masubo.. haha!:p aun.. napagod ang voice ko nun!:p

Tuesday..Labor Day! :)
1st: Quiapo. We had our new glasses made. (xempre, family of glassicians kami eh! whatta word! haha:p) Mine costs about 900 bucks. Lahat lahat na un. Imagine ah! wahahaha uber discounted! Then we checked out some puppies. We want to buy one, but to consider that our senior citizen dog Bannie might get angry when we buy a new pup, we didn't. haha! sayang naman noh?!
2nd: Cainta. We went there to visit our relatives: Tito Marcy, Tita Noemi, Ate Ayen and Kuya Junjun. I missed them. I miss staying there for weeks :c Everybody's busy these days eh, so we can't even arrange a day for our bonding time, like hanging out in a mall or going to a comedy bar.. haayy. But its good to know that they're still the same. Kuya Junjun is still funny, especially when he went water skiing (I saw the video :p) and Ate Ayen is still good at telling stories. We were determined to hang out despite our busy scheds! Basta before classes, dapat makapagliwaliw kami! hahaha!
Aun, we ate our lunch there. Grabe, fiesta ata dun. Caldereta, bbq, chicharon and soup :) the soup was hott, I think I got a burn from that. Lesson learned :p and as usual, I over ate again.
I lovelovelove their Japanese Pitch (sp.?)!! soooo cuddly! As we walked right inside the house of tita, they welcomed us! Very very friendly! They also want to be carried like a baby :) there are 3 Jap. Pitches there, Chuchay, Benjo and Katya the senior citizen :p I might post their pics in my multiply. Soon. :p
3rd: Avilon Zoo. Pics galore! haha.. I think we haven't seen all the places in the zoo. There were no maps or brochures, so it was hard to know where to go plus the whole zoo is 7 hectares in size! haha:p But we were lucky to fave a free pic with a monkey (verrry cute! that happens when you see a 'kalahi'.. haha!) and another pic with a snake. A biiiig one. Very heavy. haha!
This is my first time to see an anteater close-up and a vinesnake. They're awesome :)
4th: Church, of course :) hmm, the trip from Avilon to church is pretty long. About 2 hours. I was doubtful that I will arrive there on time, because it was past 5pm and I have to arrive there at 7pm. Thankfully, I'm the only one of the TFEN that arrived on time! haha! I don't have to pay for the fine then. ;p *by the way, TFEN means Task Force Entertain :)
I'm soo green at that time. Green shirt and green fan. haha! Attention grabber? Don't think so. :p After the tuesday service, tuesday school. We had a new group by then, and I was grouped with Ate Lyka, Kuya Rai, Kim, Janno, Dexter and Grace. Grabe ang ingay namin! And may round of applause kapag maganda ang answer mo. kulit :p

Today, at home c:
I just finished packing my stuff for tomorrow's camp. Hmm.. I think I'll be bringing a lot. haha! 3 bags? One for the clothes, then for things and for the food. oha? di na ata ako uuwi! haha!! :p Mag-iinternet lang ako ngaun buong araw. ahaha! Then again, may practice kami ulit mamaya..for the sunday service. my 5th session! weee!:)

Batchmates and Schoolmates in OB.. I hope you're all okay! :D see you soon!
And YOU, my reader, thank you for reading. It will be nicer if you leave a comment after you read. haha! :D demanding noh? yun lang!:)
