Man-o-man where do i begin with this weekend. I'm planning on making this the longest post so here it goes as i try to recall what happened, on a play by play thing. And it goes a little something like this....
On the day of March 27, 2009, afterschool to be exact. I headed home to pack the rest of my belongings to take to my retreat. Got food at pacific super cause we couldnt eat meat and i was about to get subway. So then i went to my aunties house to pick up my flashlight. Then around 4, i got to church and saw everyone there with all of their stuff and luggage, etc, etc. Chilled on the steps with my homeboys. Then found out everyone was split up into two buses. A-G on bus one and the rest on bus two. It was me sitting with Alyssa and James with Nixon on bus two. Pretttty crackin bus, seats were dope but it was cold. Drove by some wonderful places, got there around 2 hours later. When we got there, we brought our stuff down, did an energizer to get us started from Missa and brought the luggage to our cabins. Cabin buddies with Alex Arceo, James Macaraeg, Brian Concordia and the other freshmans and eighth grade guys. Then it was around night time, we didnt get to know the time so yeah. Ate my fried rice in the Mess Hall, then got on the carpet for prayers and such. I believe we found out our theme song that day, and it was "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns. Inspiring song for all of us. Then we got to go to sleep after a while, decided to take a shower that next morning. Chaps told us that we slept around 3am cause bug buys Brian and James we terrified of the spiders. Like the guys we are, we decided to do some rebel-ish things. So we came up with the idea to sleep on the floor. -_____-. After a while of talking, i decide to go back to my bed cause of the ants. Turned my flashlight on, and blood, there was 5 fire red ants about half an inch long on my boy, James. It was crazyyyyyyyy.
The next morning, i take a shower after a pretty alarming wake up call and prayer outside. Then we made our way to the mess hall to eat breakfast. I was grouped with Mikey Divina and Dom w/ the rest of my group and we made a chant for breakfast. We thought of making an interpretation of "Single Ladies" anddd we won first! I ate sausages, pancakes and cereal. Then started the day on the rug like the day before. After talking we found our homegroups! and it just so happens that my bestfriend hopefully for life is in my group. If ya'll don't know by now, Alyssa Romero is my bestfriend. Haha James was in our group too, along with other kids. Leading us was Alexandria and Chaperon'd by Barry, our cabin leader. After meeting our groups, got into icebreakers and made posters for our group and graffiti posters from our names. Our group was called the "swooshes" as in Nike's Trademark swoosh. After this, we ate lunch. I had a sandwich made by myself. Sitting with our group.
Watch me rise
