Exodus walk

It was the 1st week of September when our C.L.E teacher Mr. Rene Secular mentioned the bible camp thing..At first, I can't decide because I thought the payment was too expensive, maybe I won't be comfortable. My friends told me that they will go there. By the way, It will be held on September 16-18, 2010 in Holy Rosary Academy,Molo. I asked my mom if I can go with my friends and she just told me a big " NO "... At first I was disappointed and decieded not to go. My friends keep on convincing me to go with them. I sighed and wishing that my mom would agree.. I asked again and she told me " yes" but she's not sure if my dad agree. And what mom old me came true, MY DAD DIDN'T AGREE...I feel like shouting but I keep myself calm. I said to him "Even though you won't let me join, But that's my passion. Exploring things and events..I want to experience something new. I want to go to this event because I want to explore the big world outside our school. It's my duty to know more about God and I want to more there.." He asked me is that compulsory? I said no.. If really want, then you follow what yo want but remember to do foolish things that can cause a lot of damage and consequences...guess, He agrees...I was happy.. The next day, I told Mr. Secular I was joining, Very sorry and excited.I can't believe for the 1st time in my life I'm gonna go out for 3 days without parents, chaperons, and anybody in the family to go with me.. yes! I tried to be independent once, and that was the time to do it..


September 15,2010.
It was when I felt confuse weather to go or not to go.. I felt pity to leave my mom in our halone with our helper. I decide to go..If I don't go I will miss the fun..I can't sleep just lying down my bed thinking of what will really happen in all of the times when I will be there... I slept.

September 16, 2010

Today is the day that I'm waiting for.. Gosh, for the 1st time in my life I would be separated from my mother for 3 days.. Can I survive? O.M.G, can I make friends there? That were the first question that pop on my head.. I'm so scared... It was 7:45 when I arrived in school. I was bring my suitcase and a plastic bag. It's kinda heavy. I kissed my mom goodbye.. We wait until Mr. Secular arrived. We were so excited!!! We rode on the car of my friend Kristine Arnaiz together with Dianne Fresco, Karla Oteda,Aubrey Maat and Chiaki Goto. At last we got there. We saw a lot of buses outside the school. I said to them maybe there will be some school from distance towns. We were surprised when we entered Holy Rosary Academy, Students from there waved their white flags and told us "WELCOME". We laughed inside the car because I was telling them Thank you.. We were so excited to go down the car. Finally we free from many stress, school works.. YES! It was a hot day. The father of my friend went out already and we were all alone in a thousand of people. Assumption was 1 and never separate from each other. We got into our room. It was hot but it's okay. The Parade had just started. Under the heat of the sun we were walking. We march to the Molo plaza going back to Holy Rosary it was so tiring for us. One teacher from Holy Rosary told us Assumption, even under the scorching heat of the sun maintain your posture and your beautiful smiles. We smiled. After the parade we ate our snacks. then, The National anthem was sang and after that Bible Camp song was danced by St.Rose of Lima school. It was nice.Welcoming remarks followed by Sr. Marylou, Op. The principal of Holy Rosary Academy. After that the releasing of the doves followed.My friend Dianne Fresco held the dove. She was trembling. She was shaking and sweating a lot My friends and I laughed loud because she was making faces already.After that, The raising of school banners.. Fun! We ate our lunch and we were so full.Then after that there were many Animation happened from different schools. At 3:30 in the afternoon we ate our snacks..At 4:30, The bible sharing proper (the time I would never forget). At first I was number 45, the last group number. I got scared because I was the only Assumptionista in that group I asked Mr. Secular if I could transfer group because I would be ashamed of the people in my group then Mr.Secular asked me, where do I want to go? and I said with Dianne Fresco. Number 35. It was a big jump right? Dianne and I was the first one who got there. We met new friends like Riza from Olfa from Dao, Capiz. Ana from STORLS. Ace from University of San Agustin .Ma. Diva from St. James Academy and Jun Ceasar from Holy Rosary Academy.and a lot more. We shared about a phrase or a sentence that strucked as when reading 1 john 3:10-17. the sentence that strucked me was "we must love on another." Explained it further. I never felt shame in my heart. I explain because I know the exact words to say that time . I was in the mood for talking and saying in English. It was after sunset when we finished. i was tired and sleepy already but I can still play and do whatever is needed to do. 6:30 p.m we ate our dinner I took a bath preparing for The friendship hour or knowing each other. Many said hi and hellos. Some said positive thing and others negative things. There are many good and bad impressions about our school.. After getting to know each other Taize take place. I was so sleepy but I kept on listening to the songs placed and the man speaking. After an hour it was finished. We were rushing too bed.Too sleepy to talk and too to eat. But, still watched the movie Letters to Juliet. I slept at around 11:30. Sweet dreams Hannah..Good night.

Animation by De la Last night I can't barely sleep. I woke up 2 am and slept again. I face left to right to see if someone is still awake. I kept on turning my head to just sleep. I dreamt of my mom.

Trenas .Shibashi a form of exercise by the University of San Agustin leading us. It was like 7 in the morning and it was too hot I felt like burning.Our speaker was Dr. Bullecer he talked about family planning and some other things. After the talk we ate our snacks and lunch at the same time. I can't take in food because I know I was too full. It was a long break. After that we went to the gym to talk about the Three great lovers of the word in the camp. St. Marie Eugenie, Candida Maria De jesus, and Mother Rosarion Visitacion. It was a wonderful talk. After that, We had another speaker Fr. Meliton Oso. He taught about the effects of Global Warming and how we can prevent it. AT 3 o'clock in the afternoon it was time for the bible passage presentation. Our school just practice it for about 2 days. We never expected that it was be the best presentation in all of the presentation we had seen. It was nice to hear people cheering for our school. After that we had a bible quiz organized by Ateneo De Iloilo.. We were given a card board for us to write down the correct answers. It was nice and challenging at the same time.. it was a tiring day for all of us. But still we were eager to join other schools to party. It was night time when it happen the most beautiful part of the Bible Camp. The organized joy. We dance till we can't feel the ground anymore. It was fun. We danced. It was the best experience in my whole life. To dance in front of the people whom I don't know. The were joining us. We were touched because they crowd was following our dance and cheering. Other schools also performed. But, among the school I saw there where 3 schools I like the most Holy Rosary Molo, Holy Rosary Guimaras and University Of San Agustin. Their performance was so nice.We slept around 2 in the morning.

Last day of camp. Wake up early to have a human rosary going to Molo Plaza then again to Holy Rosary. We were all very tired and very sleepy. Nothing about to say this day. Boring is what you call. We ate our breakfast and went back to the room and took a bath. Ate our lunch and home sweet home.. It was a great experience to be in that event once in a blue moon. Thank God I attended. I met new and cool friends and gain my spiritual devotion and also my social life.
