Choir Outing

Bonding Moments...

Hey guys! Last Sunday we had the Hail Mary the Queen Children's Choir Annual Outing. So I woke up extremely early. I was already awake by 5AM. FYI: That was the earliest I woke up during the entire summer. So I got ready and we left by 6AM. I met with the other choirmates at the Sarmiento's. We left there a little past 7AM. In our van: Tito Ulan, Ian, Jeff, Me, Alexis, Isabel, Shaira, Kenneth, Lea, Kevin, Jerwin. It was a fun journey going there. But the zig-zag part of the journey was soooo nausiating [sickening]. We arrived there at 12PM and we went straight by the pool and ate there. Then we went to our rooms and stayed there to cool ourselves from the very hot weather. And we then played beach volleyball. When we went back to our apartelle, I was soooo tanned. And we just played for a while. So I decided to wear sun block before the sportsfest began. So after, we went back and played until before you knew it, the sportsfest began.

It was extreme nerve-wrecking playing beach volleyball. I have a hard time jumping because of the sand. It's sooo different from what I was used to. And... Everyone who watched, my teamates, opponents really expected me to step up. Sir Jude (our team captain), assigned me the setter so I have the advantage to run around the whole court without being noticed. Our first game.. the most nervous game of all. I was soo nervous because everyone really wanted me to step up. But, what happened? I was put a lot of pressure so I didn't play that well. It was a close game. I had my own share of aces and kills. But, we lost. 12-10. How I wished that the game was at least extended to 15 but there was not enough time. It was fun. But the second game was the best of all. If in the first game, I was pressured, in the second game, none at all. So, I stepped up and delivered a lot of kills and I was able to get a good kill out of an unexpected set from Jeff. We sailed through the game. 12-3. That was fun. Then there was the relay. Now, this is for the little kids so I didn't join. We just went to the apartelle to cool ourselves and relax for the next sport. After that, we went to the swimming pool. Now, people... believe me!!!

I hate swimming!!!!

Sir Jude let me swim which I really didn't want to be in a swimming contest. So. I was forced to swim. And I was the slowest player around. I really didn't want to swim in a contest. But swimming, I can handle. Amazingly, Julio was sooooo fast!!! I didn't know that he was in a swimming team. So, even though I was so slow, the last two swimmers were extremely fast. So we ended up getting 2nd. It was fun. Then we just swam for fun. Which was what I was used to. There, we bonded and told stories and stuff. Then, Ate Kim suffered a case of cramps which was eventually healed. Then we ate dinner. I wasn't really used to eating with my hands so I lost my appetite. Then, when we went back to the apartelle, I ordered crispy sisig and Thai fried rice. I didn't know that they served a lot! I was not able to finish everything so when Julio, Raymond and Joseph went by our room, I gave it to them. Hehehehe. They finished it.

Bonding Moments with Julio, Joseph and Raymond
While Julio was eating the food I ordered, I told him that there's this secret that a friend of mine told me. So he said what and we went to the benches and we talked. I told him the story and he shared more. A lot happened during that discussion. We talked almost every inch of his high school life in Xavier. It was sooooo funny/dramatic. But the stories were most of the funny side. I can't tell those because we made the code of silence. Hehehehe. Then after 2 hours, Joseph and Raymond joined us. While we were talking, the two appeared and they too shared a lot. Well, Joseph shared more than Raymond. He kept on saying "Wala" the whole time. The two didn't reach my stories so Julio shared them to the two. Oh well. It was a fun bonding moment. Then we went to the appartelle and then the others (Jerwin, Jeff, Ian) decided to join us. Then all of a sudden, Lucci, Lala, Pat joined us as well but they eventually went back to their rooms. So since it was just us guys left, we went to our room and talk. The day ended at 2AM and we all went to sleep

DAY 2
I woke up at 7AM because Lucci, Lala and Pat were noisy in waking up Ian. Then, the others started waking up. Then we ate in Tita Dina's room and we went swimming, basketball and all the works. Before you knew it, it was time to leave. We went in the van and went through the zigzag road and my cellphone fell and we can't find it and oh well. It was a great ending though. I got to admit! It was one of the best outings this summer. Too bad it had to end early and I had to loose my phone. Oh well. The plus side, I have another phone to use. It is acutally a private phone. That's where my friend and I talk. But, since I have no more phone, I have no choice. Another plus side, my dad told me he'll buy me a new one. But the thing that I'm really bummed about is my contacts. I have a lot of contacts in that sim! Now, I have to start all over again. If anyone wants my number, just IM me in YM alright. Have to go guys!!!
