The Day After..

This past weekend.. was just so amazing! Its just one whole blog moment.. From Friday night to Sunday night.. it was just so great.. I can't even put in the right words to start this post.. It was a mix of moments that I'll never ever dare to forget.. happy moments, kulitan moments, pasaway moments, crying moments, hassle moments, tiring moments, picture moments, akward moments, sleepy moments, worship moments, hugging moments, solemn moments, prayer moments, bonding moments..

It was like an extension of an already extending-almost-no-prof attendance..

Friday:

I spent the day polishing up my talk, which at that point I was doubting to be able to do in the first place since I have Saturday classes, which is when the camp will be held. So anyway, after thinking and discerning about my talk, which is also my first time, I took a nap since I was really sleepy.. Around 2 in the afternoon I want to my partner She's, who "took the day off", just to finish the IDs.. went there as well to lend a hand.. had a few good laughs, like looking at Olive's and partner's yearbook (hahahaha) went to church around 6pm, just to have a chat with God.. we got back late, then continued to finish the IDs..

Saturday

12 AM past I got home.. Didn't sleep right away since I was waiting up for Emman and Olive to come with their stuff, since we agreed to bring Olive to the advance party who was supposed to leave at around 430.. We just hung around the living room.. Nakatulog ako mga 4am and Emman hurriedly woke me up a few minutes later..

So off we went, no-hilamos, no-toothbrush, got the keys of the car from mom and went to SMB where the meeting place is supposed to be.. dropped my Luningning (Olive) sa SMB, where the advance party was having a few punctuality issues.. So after that we bid the advance party goodbye!!

Got back home hurriedly around 530 since I was gonna freshen up and get my stuff and my sister as well.. Went back to SMB, with Emman and my sis, saw the participants, loaded them up in the bus, we ran alittle late since we were of course waiting for the participants.. we even stopped by Petron C5 to wait for one of them..

Off we went.. Later we had to navigate thru a narrow road with a bus.. We finally ----------------------------

It'll be a very long post if I typed the whole weekend.. baka di ako matapos.. 2 hours na ako nagttype.. well I was jumping from sounds-typing-YM.. so I'll just stick to feelings.. It was just so fulfilling.. how one of what I think was my weaknesses when I was a wee bit younger didn't bother me at all.. public speaking used to be a great horror for me way back.. I just thank God for showing to me that, hey, I'm a changed man..

Feelings that can never be replaced --

How I felt that one way or another, my "kuya" aura seems to just keep oozing all over the people that I love..
How I felt even I have grown in some way, I still have alot more growing up to do..
How I felt that feeling of wanting to lead something like this, and the doubts that I have about it..
How a long journey, as much as my dogs hurt bad, seems nothing since I'm with the people that still I love..
How I'm eternally gratetful to friends from "work" that gave me the heads up..
How I felt that everything's gonna be fine after that..
How I'm gonna kick myself if one of these people will have a "one-time, big-time" apperance..
How God's touch cannot be comprehended by the human senses, just registering to the brain as a numbing sensation..
How after three cycles of praise songs there's still alot going in my head..
How I thought about the times I messed up, I really messed up..
How I felt tired and energized at the time..
How I realized that there are people who'll be walking this path with me..
How much fulfilling is it to have people trust me.. enough just to make me a crying shoulder.. promise natouch ako.. thank you!
How I'd just die for all these people that I love..

Thanks God for making me feel all of those..

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "
