The Retreat...A New Life in Ateneo...Saying Goodbye to that Feeling Inside (for Her)... :)

Last January 7 to 9, my class, 4-N had this retreat at The Sacred Heart Novitiate in Novaliches. Getting there was relatively easy since I'm familiar with the location of that place. I drove a school bus to the place hehe. Just sharing anyways. I've been going there ever since i was in grade school kasi. Anyways, the place is so beautiful and serene. You can actually call it a mini-forest because of all the trees scattered about the 22 hectare compound. You can literally lose track of time once you get used to the place. Everything was just so calm and peaceful. The place was erected in the 1930's when the Jesuits came to Novaliches. It's the home of all the Jesuits in the Philippines, so i bet you can imagine how quiet the place is. The Jesuits love to keep Silence as the golden rule here. Hahaha

Everything there is so old school, especially when it comes to the architectural design of most of the buildings. Spanish influence is evident because of the high ceilings, large mahogany doors and European furniture tastefully placed in every nook and cranny of the center.

I suggest taking a retreat here if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. I do believe i was able to have a successful retreat/ get-away hehe.

I'd love to say thank you to all the people who wrote me palancas. I really appreciate it that you guys took time out to write for me. I hardly get any palancas actually so when i received quite a number of them last week, i was pretty ecstatic and excited.

Thanks and Big Hugs to Yeni, Issa, Sabs, Marla, Hannah, Roy, Kat, Jaycee, Nicole, Chan, Sis Des, Sis Jus, Mum, Aldric, Pauline, Ma'am Jen, Sir Nate, Dino, Tony, Ralph, Raf and Gideon. Panalo talaga mga palanca niyo. :)

I missed a lot of events because of my retreat like the AC pre-prom event in Mandaluyong and the Xavier live Auditions for their fair or fundraising concert. I guess i cant have everything. I chose my retreat since it was my last one with my class anyway. It was great. I don't think i have any regrets haha...i guess :)

God, thank you sooo much for getting me into the ATENEO, the school I've been dying to get into for the past four years of my life! I got into the course i wanted which is AB Psychology. A lot of us guys from the high school passed though there were a few others who didn't get in. I feel really bad for them. Their frustration and sadness must be overwhelming. A lot cried when they got their results daw. Sana naman it was because they passed. I'm currently praying for my friends who didn't get in or who got wait-listed. I pray they can still appeal because i believe they deserve a chance to get into one of the best schools around. It's their future for heaven's sake!

I'll be studying to be a commercial pilot hopefully after i graduate from the Ateneo. It's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. If everything goes well, I'll be taking the class with Jaycee Uybaretta, one of my best friends since Grade 7. Imagine that. I'm glad i still have familiar faces to rub elbows with while I'm in college and in flight school. DEAN'S LIST NA TOH hahaha. :D

Anyways...about the last part. I guess things weren't meant to be. I really liked her. As in. I had this strange feeling in fact that it was beyond the plain word "like". I believe what i felt for her was beyond the superficial and shallow "like" and more into the deeper like. Thanks to my friends who've been giving me advice. Especially *censored* and *censored* and of course I won't forget *censored* hahaha. I guess I'm back to where i was before...only worse :(

I know she's out there somewhere. Or maybe she's right in front of me and i don't know it yet? Or maybe I'm just too shy? or maybe I'm just too nice that i get to become a push-over for other people? It's weird, this feeling inside :/

Right now, only one girl interests me haha. I think. :D Hahaha there are so many "maybe-s" in my life now. Basta, there's this one palanca i absolutely loved. :D Thanks *censored* haha *wink*wink* haha

Anyways I'm outta here. I still have stuff to do. It's already 10:36pm pa naman and i still have to study for my English and Math long tests as well for my quizzes in TD and Filipino. I have to go now! Bye! Vamanos!

Oh, thanks Merc, for today rocked. haha
