We had our recollection/retreat just yesterday and today. It's been so long since I WAS THIS GLAD TO BE HOME. My pa's not in Cebu, my brothers are out so no one could pick me up, and I had to queue a long time for a taxi. Ugh!
But nothing
bad actually happened during the retreat, it was just mostly boring. Catholicism is not for me, I can attest to that. But since my spiritual life had been a desert for the past few years, the few times I went to mass was like a cactus slashed to
pour its water out to the thirsty sand. As if it sufficed.
The retreat place initially reminded me of the mental institution in the Leonardo diCap movie,
Shutter Island. It was also a place to house patients, but more homey and long-term compared to a hospital. But after staying a few hours, I thought, "Eh, this is kinda like the dorms in
Hana Kimi. Except the show is more fun a hundredfold."
Since this was a recollection, and dissecting the words
re and
collection, there were activities about thanking each and every person about the things done for the past four years. This was kinda nerve wracking for me in a minor way. But basically it was all just, "thanks for the friendships, memories, etc.."
But the funniest thing, and most unforgettable, was what Joan Original always says about me that I'm
"like a turtle". Just chillin' and not in a hurry about anything, minding my own business. And I'm glad to discover I'm like that...
Additionally, there was another
BULGARAN session, which is really freakin uncomfortable if you're the subject.
( What subject? )Updated Booklist.I watched this reaaaalllly cool movie,
Dorian Gray and instantly fell in love with the story. So earlier I went and bought the book, which was pretty expensive darn it! And, fell in love with Ben Barnes also... (you know, that guy from PRINCE CASPIAN!)
Ah.. abrupt end of entry my brain just paralyzes when I see Ben Barnes... but still kinda disturbed though.
