thru sickness and in health


a lot of people have been suffering from flu lately. Jaypeth, my classmate, has been admitted yesterday due to recurring fever since monday of last week. Fiona, a friend of mine was also brought to the hospital yesterday due to the same reason but was not admitted kasi ayaw nya. fighter eh. hehe

ako naman ngayon, sinisipon at sumasakit ang ulo pero nakaharap pa rin sa kompytur. tigas ng ulo eh no. hehe dalawa lang ang pinagdududahan kong pinanggalingan ng sakit na to: either nahawa ako sa mga kaibigan ko o dahil sa stress. nax. stress. kasi naman, kahapon, halos 12 hours kami sa school. well, not literally "in school" pero considered school na rin yung duty and retreat.

yestrerday, duty day namain sa mental hospital from 7-11. Nag-art therapy kami sa mga pasyente. we made a heart shapes out of sand paper tas nilagyan namin ng crepe paper ang edges. then we provided them crayons and asked them to draw something or someone that was most important to them. there were about 15-20 patients out of 53 who participated. yung iba, hindi kasi pinalabas sa cells nila kasi they were not acting "well" yesterday. yung iba rin, ayaw magparticipate kasi naaliw sa ulan so instead of joining the activity, they prefered to play under the rain. but it was ok, di naman namin sila pinipilit, therapy nga dba?

so yun, most of them drew pictures of their families kasi miss na daw nila ang pamilya nila. some of them drew thier favorite food, while some just drew anything that crossed their minds and did not bother to explain thier drawing. again, di rin namin sila pinilit na magexplain kasi baka may special meaning talaga yun na ayaw nilang ipaalam or something.

at about 10:30, we headed back to school na so that we could dismiss early para lunchbreak coz we had to be back in school before 12:30 para sa senior's retreat kasi the college hired transportations to take the students to the retreat site. pag late daw kami, baka maiwanan daw kami.

so i went back to school before 12:30, kala ko late nako, but when i got there, konti pa pala ang mga tao. as usual, were never on time.

the retreat was held in the cover courts of a tennis country club. i couldnt figure out why of all the places, yun pa napili nila. na-pa-ka-far-out.anyway, the retreat's theme was self-awareness, as usual, may sharing na nman. most of the questions were similar to the self-awareness test we had last month. we were asked to trace our favorite hand, then on each finger, we were told to draw a symbol of the most important person, the word that best describes you, a symbol of something that has made you grow as a person, something that distracts ur growth as a person and God's greatest gift to you.

so after nung sharing, may team buliding games na naman, as always. we ended up at around six. then after the retreat, my parents fethced my bro and i dun sa club na mismo kasi we had to go to church pa. sa sunday kami usually nagsisimba kaso, may nutri-fit walk bukas ng 5:30 a.m so we decided to go to church on saturday nlang.

so i got home at about 8, ate my dinner and went straight to sleep.
woke up at 5 a.m this morning kasi before 5:30 yung assembly. i had to be there on time kasi i was the secretary at ako yung nagchecheck ng attendance ng mga gago. ako yung 2nd na dumating sa class namin. yung iba, halos 6am na dumating. pero di ko na nilagyan ng late, di nama ako kj eh. the parade ended up at around 8am, so pagdating sa park, nagsiuwian na kami kahit na may program pa sana. ang dami namanng sumali e, di rin nila mapapansin na wala na kami. pagdating ko sa bahay, tulog ulit ako til noon. haaayy, sleep debt.
