Whom have I in heaven but You

... there is nothing I desire in this world beside You

My heart and flesh may fail

... But God is the strength of my heart

And my portion forever.

Caleruega hangover...

haaay naku...! kay ganda at kay saya ng retreat! sayang naman at hindi nakasama ang lahat...

That school retreat was a lot different from what we used to have in our youth retreat in our church. With what we have in our church is something that would bring you closer to God. Our sessions is all about getting to know Him more, about loving Him more, and about maturing more in the spirit. And we have refreshing praise and worship too... it's really nice to think only about your first love which is Jesus and to know that your songs of praise bring a smile on His face. Isn't that great? Especially if you're in the midst of majestic mountains covered with luscious green trees, and with the air so cool and fresh... you just can't help but to wonder about His great love.

However, our retreat in Caleruega is much different for me. I don't know with you guys about what you feel. I know that each of us experienced different things in that retreat. But one thing that I know we all experienced in common--the bonding we had. I never felt so, so, so, so much closer to you guys... just like what i mentioned during the "hot seat" session, I really prayed fervently to God for my college life because I was really scared during those time. I was scared to be alone, I was scared to be lonely, I was scared to do things my own, I was scared to be rejected, to be out of place... so I prayed that He would give me true friends so I won't be very lonely and very scared in my college life...

And there you are! First, he gave Gladys, who have been with me for the very, very, very, very, very first hours of my college life. And then came PLP: Orange, Carla, Jacq, Tiff, and Veron. Oh how I love these guys! And God wasn't through with answering my prayers yet... he even gave me an entire class--4C!

God really amazes me... whenever he answers prayers, it would just make me cry out with joy of thanksgiving. And when he gives blessings, it's over flowing. Just overflowing. Thanks again, Lord, for putting me in the most dynamic section! This section may not be the most intelligent (but not the least!), but it's the most caring section I've every been in my life. I feel secured. I can be who I am. I can be real.

Kaya guys, thanks sa lahat lahat ng memories mula pa noong first year. hay... i just pray na hindi tayo magkalimutan kahit puti na ang mga buhok natin... :) basta, keep in touch, keep blogging. ok? Tiyak, sa blog pa rin tayo magkikita-kita ng madalas. kaya pagka-graduate, wag hayaang langawin ang mapanis ang blogsite ha? hehe. :)

namimiss ko talaga ng husto ang retreat. every minute of that retreat, kahit yung oras na tumatakbo kami from the big scary beatle na lumilipad sa loob ng room namin, mamimiss ko yun. :) at yung pagkain ng mga sitsiria (or chichirya or junk food) sa dorm, yung star gazing sa plaza de aza, yung pagpicture at pagpose ng plp with the sunset, ang paggising sa mahamog na umaga, ang scary na hangin na para bang may bumubuhos na malakas na ulan sa di kalayuan, ang mga picturan session, ang joke time with fr ching, ang food, ang beatles, ang bus ride, and duktungan... hay naku... hindi ko na maisa isa. alam niyo naman na ang mga nangyari eh kaya kayo nalang ang umalala. :)

o siya, hanggang dito nalang muli. mwah! God bless you all!

*PS: sa mga nagbigay ng letters--maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po! I appreciate your time of writing those letters for me, as well as for our other classmates. Pasensya na at hindi ko pa nabibigay yung sakin. By wednesday, I'll give my letters na. :)
