BUKID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PINYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exam week is over! There's still going to be some post tests next week but they're not a horrific as the exams. Anyway, that goes to show that, SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!!! YAY!!! YAY!!! HAKUNA MATATA!!!

What an exhilarating experience! Playing games under the hot sun (and when I say hot, it was really hot)! There were a lot of activities, prizes, newfound friends, cramps, sprains and wounds (not on me) and a lot of newfound capabilities (especially in cooking).

Lots of things happened within the last few days after the exam week. The Padre Faura and S.H.A.P.E. Club members went to Bukidnon for the Science Camp.

After Computer, the last exam for the whole week of endless torture (I say, after the bell rung that time, everyone hooted), we went to I-Berchmans classroom for a somewhat orientation for tomorrow’s event. After that orientation, we met up with our patrol and talked about what to bring. Karla and I did not know what to do! We were only four out of all the twenty first years attending this trip. We pretty well looked like a bunch of oldies amongst them because during the trip, everyone was so silent until. We asked them to be noisy and to not be shy since we weren't teachers, but to no avail, they kept silent. It wasn't until we got to know them better and that's where things started. There was Kimberly, Nestor, Bernard, another Bernard, Sunshine, Cheska, Anjo, Reena, Euch... that's all... hehehe...

When we got there, it was SO FREAKISHLY, TORTURINGLY HOT!!! I'm not even sure if torturingly is a word! We were getting fried!!! Our patrol name was "Soaring Blue Eagles" (very Ateneo). Due to the heat, we called ourselves "Frying Blue Eagles", followed by a reply, "Pagod na ta! Dili na frying!"

We pitched up our tents and get third place! YAY! Feli was really good! He helped us pitch our tent all the way. Thanks Feli! We then arranged our stuff and saw our facilitators get off their jeepney covered in dust! Hahaha! They look like they've rolled in the dirt!

The first years were fun to be with, especially during the activities, Anjo and Roxette both nailed the prizefor the H2Olympics. In the Amazing Race, we did it! We solved the crime! Too bad it was only the fish that got murdered... COD: No water, we had to send it to the coroner's for inspection... what a fish! TOD: When the aquarium broke... Suspect: Dan the Man, crime tip, don't leave any evidence behind, because we're still going to catch ya!

For dinner, It took us about an hour to cook the rice! When the cooking was done, the food immediately disappeared on the table! At the Night of the Best, after taking a bath with a candle burning, we won third place! The Camp Masters, all second years, presented a short presentation on how to protect the environment, I was one of the villains named Watty Lution. The heroes were, Envi, Ron and Ment... they were know as "Team Environment".

After that, we went to our tents and got ready to sleep while some of us were telling ghost stories in the tent the next door. We woke up, only to find that Karla's previously melted chocolate was hard! it was like being inside a refrigerator since it was so darn cold!

We didn't want to leave!!! It was so nice being there, isolated from urban life and living in a place with unspoiled beauty! I hate to leave... but, we had a home to return to. So we packed our bags, mounted the bus and went home.

Along the way, we took a lot of pictures of the people sleeping inside the jeepney! Hehehe. It was such a sight!

That's all for now! Bye!
