...back from SALT retreat.
being away from home, hw, stress upheavels and etc had helped me pay closer attention to my inner voice. this has been the most "spiritually deep" (as fr simon p would put it) retreat I've been thus far. his sessions were soo captivating and he had definitely taught us the power of praying over a troubled person.
friday's "prata" sharing touched me alot and I've come to realise that everyone of us is shaken somehow, even though we often put on a mask to divert others' impression of us. it wasnt easy at all to be the first person to share my problems with them but the pray over surely made me feel that inner peace and comfort that I've not felt in ages. moving.
games were fun... esp dressing marc with natural resources. haha mann, I thought Ian looked damn sexy and as usual... nigel looked like a retarded monkey. :x hehe. it was a hilarious sight anw. pity them - cos they got masking tape stuck to their body hairs! eeew. and there were vicious ants ngawing on them. urgh.
gen, stop it! captains ball was too overcrowded with people, dinosaur egg was very rough and george was stupid... he roared at me. (-.-") muahaha. so he thought I would freak. ha.
toilets. damn. I always hate bathing in camp. whyye do we even bother when we would always feel dirrty once we step outside? ok. I'm disgusting peeps. yucks.
before bed, aggie and I crapped too much, shit. I slept too late and she slept too early. hahaha. I'm not making any sense.
the first thing I heard when I woke up wasnt "gdmorning". instead, I heard people talking abt how the guys kena saboed with powder and toothpaste! sheesh.
HEADLINES: glenn bashed cutie-abraham!muahaha.
shut up, you paedofile!sharing at the end of the retreat helped us realised the miracles that God has worked in each and everyone of us!
the next section is a very solemn note for a friend; pls bear with me. prayers are very much appreciated.when I witnessed you breaking apart, all I wanted to do was to hold you and pray that God would channel strength through me and into you. I can comprehend every tear, loss and pain you feel. yet, there is nth that I can do to ease your emotions. but I hope you'll rmbr that we're right here, whenever you need a hugg, a cheer or just silent company. God loves you very much, and I do too.
take charge... everything happens for a reason...
