What's good guys.
The retreat was mind boggling and I learned a lot. It was beautiful how we connected and shared intimate moments. My favorite moment was the eating because I got to taste the sinigang first and that was the ish (word to moo). The eggplant made it memorable and something I would tell my grandma or any other relative to add when making sinigang. Like Jr, I thought sinigang had potatoes in them, but thats called something else right? Thank you Jr for introducing me to the rule of thirds, without it I would be taking horrible pictures which i still am, but im practicing not to take those kind of pictures.
The hike was the ideal activity for the retreat because what else could we have done? (sleep in and make fun of the participants in the snoring symphony?). All jokes aside, something weird happend a couple days after the retreat. I developed the roll of film I used during the retreat and noticed only one picture in the film ( i bought a digital cd and kept the film). The picture was of the big ass cross on top of the hill. Creepy right? Not only was the picture of the cross the only frame visible, but it took 21 blank frames to lead up to the cross. I turn 21 this October. What you guys think? Should I throw my 21st on top of Mount Davidson? You guys are all invited. Back to the retreat. Charles' presentation provided us visual aid for the Philippines' struggle for economic balance. I realized the three basics are real and we are in it, but if we put ourselves out of the "bubble" and look at our lives in different perspectives, we can see why there are struggling countries. This world is crazy, you guys are crazy, I'm pretty crazy, but I am starting to feel this warm fuzzy feeling in my chest like we can do something in our lives to change others. The retreat was a success.
The Liwanag Kultural Center was some place I thought never existed. That was my first trip there and it was cool to see Sergio and Lyle running the show. At the most part, Sergio informed us on some history behind the organizations the LKC housed. For the past two weeks I've learned so much about history, particularly thrid world countries and their struggle to hold their own in this world, and I thank all of you guys for being part of this journey. I'll see you guys Friday.
The new guy,
Ruben
