Outbound. Grades. Etc.
Monday, November 30, 2009 @ 7:14 PM
You might've been wondering why I barely post in this blog anymore. Number one, I don't have the time. Number two, we only get to go home in the main house during weekends (yes, we still are renting the apartment even if the flood has drained since a month ago). And three, I don't want to use the dirty keyboard and the mouse of a computer in the nearby computer shops.

I actually don't know where to start. Maybe I'll start with the Outbound first. It was held in Mt. Banahaw, Quezon Province. It's not the usual Banahaw side we've been two years ago. We went in the "religious" part of the mountain. No, I think they consider the whole mountain "religious". Why "religious"? Many sects or cults are based there. The facilitator told us because someone went there years ago and...I've forgot on what happened. I wouldn't tell the whole part of the sects. I don't want to expose their religion anyway. Why, I didn't know what they were really "worshiping" not until I saw a video on TV. Fast forward. Trekking in the forest. I thought the trekking I did in Palawan going to the underground cave would be my last one. But, it wasn't. And the trek in this Outbound was like hell. I'll tell more later. Then, we went to this really tiny cave wherein you really have to squeeze yourself to get through it. I'm not kidding, I really did find it hard to get out of that cave. Thanks to the facilitators of ours who helped us on how to get out of there alive. I almost forgot, we went inside without any shoes or sandals. Seriously, you need to find someone who has been there thousands of times. Next was mountain hiking. Not exactly a mountain, but I think it's the mini-version of Mt. Banahaw. They call it the "Kalbaryo", and yes, it should really be called as that because it took us two or more hours to get to the top. But the view from the top was absolutely gorgeous. Although I really didn't feel the "wind" because it was past noon, I just looked at the view from there. And since we went by foot on top, we have to go by foot again to reach the starting point. I remember how my classmates wished we were just birds so we could just fly all the way down. Luckily, we hiked all the way down safe, yet, very (10x) tired.

Although I did enjoy the Outbound, something lacked in it. I barely can tell what that is. It isn't a camera (for the first time, I didn't bring my camera with me during an Outbound) or a friend to be with me all the time (I was switching myself with different people - whatever that means, but I did get stuck with my bus mate all the way home), but it was the "ending". Its good that we went to the cold water, but, it wasn't that worth it. I wanted something more, like, jumping off the falls (though there are no falls there) or kayaking in the rapids (yet, there weren't rapids). Bah. I guess the hiking, caving, and trekking were just the adventure they gave us.

Second to the Outbound experience, was knowing my grades for the Second Quarter. Remember the time I told you about doing so badly in Math and got a 73? I might call my grade the past quarter as a miracle. I got a 77. Although I was aiming for a 78 or 79, I'm already okay with 77. But, it wasn't just Math that I passed, I passed all of the subject. The co-curricular is the only thing in my card I'm not really contented with. An 81. Just great. Where had the club days that I was always present with? I must admit that I didn't attend the Sector Conference last September, but, I was bored and was still tired after the ACET. Whatever. I'm still thankful for doing "good" last quarter. Thank God Math was the only line of 7. :))

I guess those two are just the ones I can share right now. I actually don't like where I am. In a computer shop. But, I really need to be here. I still have to add three Related Literature(s) in our Thesis (yes, we're doing our thesis right now, in English). Let's just hope that I'll post something over the weekend. Although I'm not so sure. I have to take both the FEU and Mapua CETs on Saturday (YES, TWO TESTS ON THE SAME DAY) and I have to finish a project on Saturday or Sunday. That's what you get when you don't like to do the task given to you immediately. :P
