I wasn’t able to blog about this last Thursday because I was so tired when I got home from the retreat house. In contrary to what Lasallian freshmen (past and present) say about the LASARE1 that it’s boring as hell, it was FUN. It was better than I expected - not much of lectures, lots of games, delicious food, and lots of bonding time with friends and blockmates. No pictures for this because we weren’t allowed to bring a camera :( Albeit this, everything was awesome from the beginning of the recollection up until the very end.
Highlights of the day:
- Played this game where our block was divided into four groups. Each were named as the following: Volleyball Spike, Swimming Dive, Basketball Shoot, and Football Kick (the group I ended up with). Turned out everyone won :)
- We had two snacktimes and lunch. For the morning snacks, we had pancit. Pork steak, turon (one for each person) and veggies were up for lunch while sandwiches were served in the afternoon.
- We had a skit activity that was so entertaining to watch
- The best part of the day: 90-MINUTE LUNCH PERIOD! Was inside a secret room with a bunch of blockmates where we spilled secrets. Yes, LOTS of secrets >:)
- Enjoyed talking to the priest during confession where he gave me lots of great advice
- At the end of the day, we had Mass. Unfortunately, something happened which lead us to the making of our individual LASARE1 reflection paper due the following morning.
Thank you LR23 for that Happy Thursday! I hope we’ll all be in LASARE2!
