di pa ako nagpo-post tungkol sa field trip.

so, eto na.

i feel it's a bit too late, but it's ok. nothing's too late.

I woke up at 5:00. and we were supposed to leave the house at 5:30, because we were supposed to be at school at 6:00.
My dad and I were supposed to pick Erica, Grace and Carol up at 5:30, but we ended up picking them up at 5:45. We were all nervous that maybe the fourth years had already left. But we were consoled by the idea that many people will be late like us and the official time (based on experience ) has not been followed ever since.

We arrived in the school at around 6:15, and our fear dissolved when we saw the sea of white shirts and the endless buzzing and laughter of excited people. the fourth years haven't left yet. Erica and Grace went straight to the Becq people, while Carol and I set out looking for Avo people. We saw Eileen in the Values Garden, and then, the teachers started to call us and instructed us to fall in line with our respective sections. I got fired up when I saw my classmates happily chatting with each other. they all were pretty excited, and for that moment, I forgot about my worries. I saw Jamie and Hazel B. so I approached them right away. I found out that Jamie bought the belt and the bag we saw the day before the trip when we strolled in SM. Soon, Ms. Pundol came and shouted out instructions, then gave us the signal to walk to our buses outside the school.

upon arriving in the bus, all settled down and I chose a window seat near the back of the bus. with Hazel B. by my side, I ate a sandwich while Arvie read the letter from Sir Justin. It even had the lyrics of the song Yellow by Coldplay in it. He said that he'd just write the lyrics for he didn't have the time to sing for us when it was his last day in the school. Too bad. anyway, that started our day right. we met kuya raymond (is that right? sorry, I wasn't listening, I was too busy eating my sandwich) who's our tour guide for our trip and our 'coach captain'. we went to Marikina (to the Philippine Science Centrum), to the Mini Zoo and Crocodile farm in Island Cove. At the end of the day, we went swimming. It really wasn't intention to go and take a dip in the pool, but, what the hell. I went for a swim anyway...without sunblock. buti na lang di mashadong mainit nun, kundi nagmukha akong baboy na na-sunburn.
we left Island Cove at around 5:30 pm, and we watched The Ring 2 in the bus on the way home.

in general, the field trip was nice. But there were things I didn't really enjoy much.

well...

maybe there were just things that were missing that's all.

sana masaya din ung retreat! :D
