Shock!

It has been days since I have blogged. First of all I was on retreat with the Brothers at Catalunan Grande. It was a nice retreat, gave me some time to reflect, however, it was cut really short. If I am going to be on a retreat where I have to be silent, it takes me a couple of days to really get into reflecting mode. Even though I wasn't able to become a contemplative in that time, I did enjoy the time away and it was quite relaxing. Secondly, the night I finally got home from the retreat, it was like 10 p.m. and I was really tired. Yesterday was Br. Romel's birthday, so I didn't get home till almost 11 p.m. and then was up super early for Mass and prayer. I am just getting really exhausted.

I didn't really got out and do anything today. I was able to go talk to one of the Freshman Formation Program classes on goals and responsibilities students should take when it comes to school work based off of my college experience. I think they enjoyed it, but I just hated talking about myself, but it was what was asked of me. I then went and played some basketball and volleyball, but it was after playing that I got some shocking news. A girl set to graduate this year took her own life today by hanging herself with a wire. It was quite shocking for me to hear. Unfortunately I don't know her name, I think she was president of one of the clubs, so my prayer goes out to the repose of her soul and for her family.

As I currently type this I am running a fever, not a bad one, but one we must monitor in case it gets worse. Usually they tell people to go to the hospital when they have a fever just to check and make sure it isn't dengue.

One thing I have to tell everyone about is something called a quantum pendent. Br. Noelvic wears one and he had some with him on the retreat. Four of the Brothers had me sit in a chair, with only two fingers, they were positioned under my knee caps and under my elbows and they tried to pick me up, but no luck. Then they put on the quantum and did it again and to my amazement and disbelief had me in the air with just two fingers. It was crazy, and I want one real bad.
