Just came back from our retreat hehe... :-)
It was a blast! We had lotz of "Bonding, Water and Food Frenzy Games and Learning More About God" It was actually
UECMalabon's 13th Family Retreat held in Oxford Hotel Clark,Pampanga.
It was actually exactly 1 in the afternoon when we decided to hitch the car start our trip in going there...The heat was humid and were driving at the bustling streets of EDSA and not long enough were already in the widely-open road of the NLEX Highway.We arrived in Clark exactly 3:30pm.We were actually a day earlier and the retreat would officially begin the next day.We had a pillow fight in the dark in our room that evening!Actually, I wasn't really invovled but my sibs were and they hit me!Unmercifully!hahaha...I had a really great time bonding with my church barkada...We went swimming for 3 straight days!One of the most memorable there was the "Fun Fest" It's like the usual sportsfest we have in our school and we have this every year in our family retreats. But this year was special for me because I got to be one of the facilitators!The best part is...I don't get to play those torturous games! Especially this year's!It was pure torture for those who'd be participating! We had four teams this year namely RED TEAM ,BLUE TEAM ,GREEN TEAM, and YELLOW TEAM. Some of it's highlights were the "Chop-Chop Game" wherein they'd use chopsticks to pass certain food(without hands to catch!) and made the "poor guy" eat all of them!:D Another was the "Top 10 Food Chain" which turned out to be the eating contest in the fest. This was my particular favorite! Why you'd ask? Well let's just say the menu includes raw eggs, ginger, tomato, Gerber(as in baby food!) , Wasabi! and worse, they had to eat them without using their hands!(which only means no spoon and fork!) and only with their mouths! That really made me glad that I was part of the Fun Team...:D
"Water Balloon Relay" was another in which the players have to successfully pass the balloon until the very end without breaking it...How? OVER and UNDER!!! In which they'd really get wet because we see to it that the balloons were highly FRAGILE...hehe...:D
We also had "Water Tug of War" in which was done inside the pool!
and last but not the least "Fish Ball" in which it involves a lot of swimming! Players would have to swim across the other end of the pool and back to gather as many balls of their team color in just 5 minutes!Each was only allowed to bring 2 balls at a time and shoot it in their corresponding boxes. We actually had 400 balls put inside the pool!Imagine how tiring is that for them!:D And they really had to do their best because this game's score is doubled!:D After all, no matter how tiring and challenging the games were...Everyone had fun...Especially the umpires! hehe...:D Everyone really had a great time during the whole retraet while learning more about God.It was another success for the 13th UECMalabon Family Retreat in which is all unto God...:D To Him Be All The Glory...:D
