No regrets!

I am not gonna write everything that has happened during those 4 days and 4 nights of planning sem because that would just be pointless.

Hours before I dragged myself to QC for the planning sem, I was not at all excited or thrilled. For one, I have been to that resort. Second, the thing I had been looking forward to may not actually happen. The only reason I had to come was that I had to fulfill my responsibilities and that I don't want to leave Kat and the rest of the team. On my way to QC, I was thinking how what could happen that might actually turn a "boring" planning sem for me into a rockin' one.

Surprisingly, I arrived in BA steps earlier than usual and even earlier than the departure time. There were lots of new people who showed up which made me think, my planning sem might actually have a chance after all.

Those 4 days and 3 nights passed by soooo fast because I really really enjoyed it. I didn't even feel the "work" part of the planning sem. Even the slogan session was fun for me. We even finished the session at 2:30! yey!

Of course, occasionally, there were mumu's knocking our door at night. It was actually one of our bonding moments! haha! Imagine, 6 or 7 people sharing the same ghost experience, figuring out how come we all heard knocks on our door but there was no one outside. Thank goodness, nobody ran like crazy out of the room. haha!

The best part was that every night had been a bonding night. Even the matrix deployment part where we have to group ourselves and think of projects and stuff turned into a horror night for all of us! 20+ people packed in a room sharing scary stories was really fun! Those people I never had a chance to bond with moreso, even has a chance to talk to, before planning sem, became the people I got to bond with from Day 1 until the end. I really had a blast.

There were lots of things we have come to know about the people who were there. The chismis night made it possible. haha. But of course, chismis aside, I personally have learned many things about people. We even came up with petnames for lots of people. There are lots of memories that was built during those days and sembreak is not enough to erase any of it.

I realized, it was really a good thing I came to planning sem. The laughs, the scream, the kabangagan, the bloopers, the late night sleeps, the late wake-ups, the 9 push-ups, the running, the swimming, the endless kwentuhans and whatnots, I will never trade them for the one thing I was missing. Virge told me on the second day, "Poor you, levs" referring to the thing I really wanted. But Virge, you were wrong.

Poor you for not coming. You missed half of your life.

To everyone who shared those 4 days with me, GUYS, CLOSE NA TAYO HA?? haha!

See you next sem for more kabangagan!! :)
