Phew ok back from retreat, well actually I came back on Wednesday...but yeah, the retreat was great, everything from the food the company, the activities. At the end of it all, I realised that our community is special, its one where people can love and care for each other, where we try our very best to help one another in times of need and where we can bring joy to each other.

Im not saying we're perfect, but we try hard. Though in itself there are of course heartbreaks and pains, but we all live through them.

But yeah, I'll be frank, and while it was a great retreat, and I believe I grew spiritually and did get to know my fellow arts mates much much better, I came out of it more confused than when I went in. But thats by no fault of the retreat either. Its weird, the more I ask God for answers the more confused I get. Sheesh...

Im not saying its Gods fault either. I just tend to read things wrongly I guess.

But yeah it was damn fun...retreat was followed with a crazy shopping spree with Ade to help find materials for the games. I can't thank her enough for the company...I think I would have gone crazy if I went out to buy all the stuff by myself lol...considering all the things that happened while shopping haha...

(and by the way the pancake thing isnt THAT great I feel...)

Next came games testing..I really didn't know what to expect, as in, I was really worried about the state of the games cause on paper some of them REALLLLLY seemed dull and boring. Thank God that they were fun. Well at least I thought it was fun and yeah we managed to work out a few kinks in the games that we tried. I really hope the freshies enjoy themselves...thanks to everyone who came down yesterday for the testing. I apologise for the rushing off at the end though, but I was trying to make it for the Ascension Mass with my family. Turns out in the end my bros also followed along at 6...so ya its the first time that we actually had Mass as a whole family in a very long time. Felt good.

After that we watched some of our old LDs (Laser Discs...can you believe it? haha) and we even brough out an old Bugs Bunny one...ahh childhood memories...

Sometimes I do wish I could go back into my childhood days, things were alot simpler then, ignorance really equated to bliss. And I wouldnt need to preoccupy myself with so many thoughts and worries. Sheesh.

Anyway yeah...thats about all for now, till next time...
