Langkawan.

After the 6-day indoor training, we had the 3-day, 2-night camping at Mt. Makiling; which is our outdoor training. It's just my second time to go camping. But I could definitely say that camping this year was more enjoyable than last year. :D Maybe because we are a small group and have known each other for quite sometime now.

DAY 1:
Well, Day one was reserved mainly for CD [Camp Development] time. We were taught how to pitch a tent back when we were in school, and now's the time for the application of what we were taught. So the guys went on to tent pitching, while us, girls, started on our border. I could say we did quite a lot on the first day. We finished pitching the tent, the ditch done [I did a tinsy weensy bit of the ditch! Ask Pison and Mark!], and the borders finished, too. And uhm, camping food, was well... camping food. :D If you know what I mean. But instead of bananas, we had Potchi this year. I thought I was gonna be sleeping early this year. But I was wrong. Activities still ended at around 10 pm, and lights off was still 12midnight. Oh yeah, we had rededication before sleeping. And before rededication, they told us some creepy Makiling stories. Didn't really make us scared though, natawa pa nga kami sa mga kwento nila...

DAY 2:
Day 2 was when we had most of our activities. We had our cook-out in the morning. :D [Cooked chicken mechado.] We had a hard time maintaining the fire since it burns real low AND we weren't taught how to. But we had no choice but to cook it becuase it will serve as our lunch on that day. I helped out at our corners since I wasn't couldn't offer much help at the cook-out. We had yummy lunch that day! [Kasi kami yung nagluto!] Lolz. We were all pretty hyper on that day since we were expecting to go Hiking after lunch. But it rained before lunch so we had to stay near the barracks. Our Hiking was also cancelled. :c :c So sad! We were all looking forward to it since it's most of us's first trail hiking! So we had this mini-circuit like game instead of hiking. And come that night... CAMPFIRE! We were kind of scared that campfire would be cancelled too because of the weather. Good thing it pushed through. :D We really prepared for this. This is like... the second fun thing at my list for camping. Campfire this year was great. Ok naman yung performance namin. Performance of the JLTs- THE BEST! The performance of the CAT was also nice too, and amazing.=) We also had a deal with the Senior Staff about finishing 50 bananas for additional five points in our results for the third day. :D So we all suddenly turned into banana lovers. :D As for our corners and results for the second day, we already finished all the required gadgets on the second day and our borders aren't like limbos anymore. :D [Isa lang yung nakalas!] We were aiming for standard on this day. The comments of the Staff during the results were soo nice! [We love you Sir R, Ma'am Luz!] They said our improvement was really big and everything. :D :D Yeah! But we didn't reach the Standard grade, though. Aww.

DAY 3:
Break camp day! Waaa. We went to church and attended mass first thing in the morning. We were all bangag since we only had like 2-3 hours of sleep. I thought I could fall asleep during the mass if only we weren't standing. After the mass, we went back to the Langkawan Hall. It rained again so we only had two representatives for the inspection. [Wala daw nakalas na gadget nung inspection!] For the rest of the day, we bundled bamboos, finished packing and tried to eat as much bananas as possible. No buko pie for me this year since I thought of the weight of the luggage I'll be bringing home. :D We also bought identical bracelets before coming home.=) The bus trip home was kind of boring this year, compared to last year. We even got to play Truth or Dare on the bus trip home last year, but this year, EVERYONE was asleep! Except for Keith, Mark, me and Sir Fo. We chatted all the way until we reached school. Unloading and closing ceremonies were pretty fast this year. So results... ah, sweet results! We reached standard grade! Weee! That was probably our happiest moment. It's like, we've reached the sky! Haha. :D Our grade was 89.78 with the standard grade at 88 and honor grade at 90. Aww. Too bad, we should have ate more bananas! :D

And now, training's kind of over. We still have to go to school for other things, though. I somehow miss training... No, actually I miss FLAVAHZ! Hehe! I'm missin everyone so badly. Oh yeah, I've got punishment because I was absent for half day. We'll have to do a video about the training. So we agreed to do it with all of us present over at Keith's house on Saturday. Bonding time!! Weee! I'm kind of excited to do our punishment! Lolz.
