*ROLLECTION. ANNE VICTORIA MARIE L. QUILATAN I-ST PAUL OF THE CROSS
LAST JANUARY 15 2010 WE HAD OUR CONFESSION AT SAINT JOSEPH’S CHURCH FROM 8:00 – 9:30AM. AFTER WE CONFESED OUR SINS TO THE PRIEST WE WENT TO THE ALTAR AND PRAYED WHATEVER THE PRIEST TOLD US TO PRAY SO OUR SINS WOULD BE FORGIVEN. AFTER THAT WE WENT BACK TO THE CLASSROOM AND BACK TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE. SOME OF US CRIED WHILE PRAYING AT THE ALTAR AS SIGN OF “PAGSISISI”
JANUARY 18 2010 . A DAY BEFORE OUR RECOLLECTION. I WAS PREPARING THE THINGS THAT I WILL BRING SUCH AS FAMILY PICTURES , ART MATERIALS ,BIBLE ,MY INTRAMS SHIRT MAONG PANTS AND A EXTRA PE SHIRT I SLEPT EARLY THAT NIGHT SO I WILL HAVE THE ENERGY FOR THE RECOLLECTION.
JANUARY 19 2010. I WOKE UP EARLY AND I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TO HAVE A RECOLLECTION. WE LEFT SCHOOL AT ABOUT 7:30 AM. THOUGHT THAT THE PLACE WAS FAR FROM LAS PIñAS BUT IT ISN’T IT’S ONLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES FROM SAINT JOSEPH’S ACADEMY. ON OUR WAY WE PRAYED THE ROSARY WITH ARMANDO RAZON AND ALYSSA TRAJANO AS PRAYER LEADERS. AFTER WE PRAYED THE ROSARY, WE WATCHED A MOVIE ENTITLED “THE BEST OF ELMO” THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT TO END WHEN WE GOT THERE.
THE PLACE WAS UNEXPECTEDLY MODERN AND THE PLACE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE PLACE WAS BIG. WE MET OUR FACILITATORS: KUYA JUN, ATE DONA AND KUYA MAC.WE DISCUSSED FIRST THE THREE RULES 1.) NO LITTERING 2.) NO LOITERING 3.) OBSERVE SILENCE.
AFTER THAT WE WERE DIVIDED INTO 6 GROUPS / “FAMILIES”. THE TEODORO FAMILY, OBAMA FAMILY , JACKSON FAMILY, AQUINO FAMILY, VILLAR FAMILY, AND THE SJA FAMILY.THE NAMES OF EACH FAMILY ARE NAMES OF PRESIDENTIABLES , FAMOUS PEOPLE AND THE NAME OF OUR SCHOOL
THEN WE WERE ASKED TO MAKE A YELL FOR EACH FAMILY. OUR CHEER WAS: “TEODORO! TEODORO! ANG CUTE CUTE TEODORO! TEODORO! ANG CUTE CUTE POSIBLE!!!” THE FIRST ACTIVITY THAT WE DID WAS “WHAT’Z IN A WORD” WHERE WE MUST LOOK FOR ANOTHER THAT CAN BE FORMED IN THE WORD LISTEN AND IT WAS SILENT. IT MEANS THAT WHEN WE ARE SILENT IT’S EITHER WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION OR WE AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION. AFTER THAT KUYA MAC TOLD US ABOUT THE BEATITUDES:
"BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO MOURN, FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED.
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK, FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED.
BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL, FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY.
BLESSED ARE THE PURE OF HEART, FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD.
BLESSED ARE THEY WHO ARE PERSECUTED FOR THE SAKE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." AFTER THAT WE HAD A QUIZ TESTING US ABOUT OUR LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS THE WAY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ARE BY USING YOUR COMMON SENSE (WHICH IS NOT SO common) continued...
continuation AND I ONLY GOT 4. AFTER THAT WE HAD OUR RECESS. OUR RECESS WAS SPAGHETTI AND JUNGLE JUICE. THE NEXT ACTIVITY THAT WE DID WAS WITH KUYA JUN AGAIN. DURING THE SECOND ACTIVITY WE MADE A SCRAPBOOK ABOUT OUR FAMILY. AFTER WE DID OUR SCRAPBOOK WE HAD TO SHARE IT TO THE GROUP. AFTER IT WE HAD OUR LUNCH. OUR LUNCH WAS A CHICKEN AND TOGE AS SIDEDISH. THE TOGE WAS NOT COMPULSARY SO IDIDN’T GET SOME OF IT. I ATE WITH MY FRIENDS.
AFTER WE ATE KUYA MAC TAUGHT US A DANCE WHICH I FORGOT THE NAME. THEN AFTER THAT WE PLAYED A GAME IT’S CALLED “RAIN, SUNSHINE THUNDERSTORM” THE GAME WAS LIKE TRIP TO JERUSALEM BUT A PERSON WILL SAY “RAIN” WHEN THAT PERSON WANTED YOU TO GO LEFT, SUNSHINE IF THE PERSON WANTED YOU TO GO RIGHT AND WHEN THAT PERSON SAYS THUNDERSTORM YOU WILL SCATTER TO FIND A SEAT
THE LAST ACTIVITY WAS THE REALIZATION OF OUR SELVES ABOUT THE STATUS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FAMILY. ATE DONA TOLD US A STORY ABOUT A CHILD WHO WENT TO A RECOLLECTION AND HIS PARENT’S COULD’NT RECOGNIZE HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE THE PARENT OF THAT CHILD FORGOT ABOUT HIM. IT MADE THE OTHERS CRY BECAUSE IT BOTHERS OUR CONSCIENCE. AFTER THAT THEY GAVE US A CHANCE TO MAKE A PRAYER TO GOD THAT SHOWS HOW MUCH WE LOVE OUR FAMILY. WENT TO THE CHAPEL HAD A MASS ; THREE PERSONS HAD A CHANCE TO TELL US THEIR PRAYERS REGARDING ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES. AFTER IT WE RODE A BUS WENT BACK TO SAINT JOSEPH’S ACADEMY
WHILE RIDING A BUS WE AGAIN WATCHED THE BEST OF ELMO 2 TIMES BECAUSE THE ROAD THAT WE USED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL WAS FULL OF TRAFFIC SO OUR TRIP LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. WHEN WE GOT HOME IT WAS ABOUT 5:15PM AND I WAS TIRED AND MY BACK ACHES!! BECAUSE AFTER EACH ACTIVITY WE HAD TO CLOSE OUR EYES AND LISTEN TO THE STORY THE FACILITATORS ARE TELLING US AND WE HAD TO LISTEN WHILE INDIAN SITTING.
MY REALIZATION DURING THIS RECOLLECTION WAS: I SHOULD SHOW THE PERSONALITY THAT I WAS HIDING TO OTHER PEOPLE I SHOULD BE CLOSER TO MY FAMILY SO THAT THEY WILL NOT FORGET ME.
Monday, it was the day before our yearly recollection. Everyone thought this year’s recollection wasn’t going to be fun because we’re not going very far from our school; I mean who would get excited when you know you’re only going to Sucat. So that day came, Tuesday, I wasn’t very excited because like all the previous years I know it’s going to be boring and, of course, tiring because of all the lame activities. But that was then, when I was still in elementary on which every single facilitator still thinks that we’re immature, accident prone and ,of course, helpless. So I came to school at 7:00 am and as soon as I met up with my classmates out of school we went to buy some candy at the “patyo” and went inside the campus where I immediately handed out some recollection letters I made the other night. When it was time to go and the gates of our building we’re open some of my classmates and I hurried to our room, some to get their bibles and some to get some art materials. At the time everyone was in the bus, including me, we did a head count and Sir Naz, our head facilitator for the whole recollection, called the vice- president and the president to go to the front and we walked awkwardly wondering why we we’re called up front. But it was all just for the simple reason of leading the prayer. We made several mistakes at first all because of nervousness but we got over it by the time we we’re at the first mystery. Finally after thirty minutes of life on the road we turned right to a large building, Joking around I said that that was the venue for the recollection. Then we passed by a sign near the building saying “Diocese of Paranaque Curia Center” I was right all along. So when we stopped we got off the bus amazed of how big our venue is! While at the first floor everybody’s eyes we’re lingering around simply examining the center. It was truly breath-taking there were a court for sports a small chapel for small gathering masses and even a small fountain with fish said to be taken care of by the bishop. We walked up to third floor and got to an open room it felt so serene and peaceful like there was no negative energy anywhere just pure positive. At the more open space were chairs counted exactly thirty-eight and the facilitators assigned seats for each and every one of us. At first Sir Naz made us do some fun activities, though childish yet enjoyable, and after he introduced his co facilitators: Ate Dona, the fun and perky one who has got so many stories for all of us that we can truly relate to, Kuya Jun, the one who is sometimes silent yet very inspiring, Kuya Mac, the most energetic one whom if he speaks he will surely get you on your feet. The first session was lead by ate Dona and Sir Naz they grouped us into families and made us choose names and ours were the Villar family the other family names were: Teodoro, Obama, Aquino, Jackson and so on. After that we made our personalized cheers but I must say ours weren’t very original because we only copied Villar’s info-mercial, but still we gave it a touch of energy so we sang joyfully though I must admit some of the words were not even understandable. After that Kuya Mac took over and we learned how to listen deeply to the true meaning of words, how they interact with the other words. After our short but brief lecture we took a quiz testing our listening skills and I proudly say that I am part of the students who got the highest score of eight over ten.
Finally it was time to eat our morning snacks and the family who is more energetic gets to eat first and get a second batch on the spaghetti. So Sir Naz firstly picked us and we hurried to the table like a pack of hungry animals that hasn’t eaten for days, piggish isn’t it? So all of our members ate a second plate of spaghetti and we went to our bags to get the materials we were instructed to take for our second session with Kuya Jun. So for our second session we made an album. We all took 3 or more pictures of ourselves and used our art materials to make an album, well not necessarily an album but just a small frame showing yourself and what happy experiences happened on that specific picture. At first we shared with our group mates then we all picked a representative to tell the whole room about every group mates’ photo albums. So I proudly represented the Villar family and told the stories behind their pictures, when, where and why the picture was taken. After our album making it was lunch already and like before all groups sang each of their family cheer, everyone was really happy singing out loud. It was already lunch time and we ate fried chicken and “toge” we were really satisfied. And after our quick lunch almost all of us went to the porch to take in all the fresh air that sometimes you can’t get in Manila. We even pranked everyone by telling them to enter at the window so they’d all trip! We really had a fun time. After lunch we learned a new dance and performed it all together then we took the papers taped on our chairs and stuck it on our backs so that our classmates could write the different traits we know and the traits they know that we don’t know. During our exercise many, including me insisted on other people to write traits about me. When the time stopped I insisted on writing on Chazz’ back so both were left standing and so Kuya Jun called us to answer a few questions about our activity. Like how we felt when our classmates wrote bad or good things, I had to admit everything I felt or reacted on some of the negative things written on the paper, but still after what we did I felt like I was relieved of a heavy load. After our activity we we’re told to bring out our family pictures. So we took it out and shared when, where and why that photo was taken. Almost everybody from our group had a great story behind the pictures but two or three of them had the photo taken just because they like to.
After that, we reflected on our selves with a routine done every year on every recollection or retreat. So the story was that I was walking back from the recollection and as I walked the road, trees and everything else’s started to age and I can’t find my house. So I sat down and asked for and old lady for something to drink. When she let me in her house I insisted on looking at the photo albums. And I saw pictures of me and my family then she began telling stories about me and how I grew up to be a bad influence, how I destroyed my future and how I disappointed my family. I Started to tear and realize that the old lady who has been kind to me was my mother and her husband was my father. I forced myself in them so that they would know in their heart that it was me, sadly I failed they did not recognize one bit of me. I mean can I blame them, would they want to remember the child they raised whole heartedly to grow up into such a big fat bag of disappointed. So they lead me out of their house and every step I took on the sidewalk away from my parents I remembered them, the good things they’ve done for me. All I can do now is cry and wish that everything was just a dream and luckily it was. Though it was just a story I can’t help thinking “What if while I’m walking back home that would happen to me. After our reflection I saw some of my classmates with marks of tears on their faces the one thing I didn’t have. So we wrote letters to GOD regarding our families. I wrote mine in a full prayer and I wrote it with love on each word. Then Sir Naz told us to go down for our afternoon mass. I was chosen to read the first reading, so of course while going down I had a hint of doubt with myself if I could read solemnly for GOD. So we started the mass and when it was my turn to read Sir Naz got the reading wrong so I had to start the reading all over again. But all in all the recollection was a success. After which we got our afternoon snacks and went back to the bus watching our unfinished DVD of “The Best of Elmo” so we went back to school happily, some still singing Elmo’s song. I went back home with memories I know I’ll cherish for a long time. Lahat kami ay Masaya umuwi kami ng bahay ng masigla at may mga bakas ng pagbabago sa aming mga puso dulot ni Sir Naz, Ate Dona, Kuya Jun at Kuya Mac. Ikaw nkaranas ka na ba ng ganitong ka gandang Recollection. Kasi ako oo!!

When it was time to go and the gates of our building we’re open some of my classmates and I hurried to our room, some to get their bibles and some to get some art materials.
At the time everyone was in the bus, including me, we did a head count and Sir Naz, our head facilitator for the whole recollection, called the vice- president and the president to go to the front and we walked awkwardly wondering why we we’re called up front. But it was all just for the simple reason of leading the prayer. We made several mistakes at first all because of nervousness but we got over it by the time we we’re at the first mystery. Finally after thirty minutes of life on the road we turned right to a large building, Joking around I said that that was the venue for the recollection. Then we passed by a sign near the building saying “Diocese of Paranaque Curia Center” I was right all along. So when we stopped we got off the bus amazed of how big our venue is!
While at the first floor everybody’s eyes we’re lingering around simply examining the center. It was truly breath-taking there were a court for sports a small chapel for small gathering masses and even a small fountain with fish said to be taken care of by the bishop. We walked up to third floor and got to an open room it felt so serene and peaceful like there was no negative energy anywhere just pure positive. At the more open space were chairs counted exactly thirty-eight and the facilitators assigned seats for each and every one of us. At first Sir Naz made us do some fun activities, though childish yet enjoyable, and after he introduced his co facilitators: Ate Dona, the fun and perky one who has got so many stories for all of us that we can truly relate to, Kuya Jun, the one who is sometimes silent yet very inspiring, Kuya Mac, the most energetic one whom if he speaks he will surely get you on your feet.
The first session was lead by ate Dona and Sir Naz they grouped us into families and made us choose names and ours were the Villar family the other family names were: Teodoro, Obama, Aquino, Jackson and so on. After that we made our personalized cheers but I must say ours weren’t very original because we only copied Villar’s info-mercial, but still we gave it a touch of energy so we sang joyfully though I must admit some of the words were not even understandable. After that Kuya Mac took over and we learned how to listen deeply to the true meaning of words, how they interact with the other words. After our short but brief lecture we took a quiz testing our listening skills and I proudly say that I am part of the students who got the highest score of eight over ten.
Finally it was time to eat our morning snacks and the family who is more energetic gets to eat first and get a second batch on the spaghetti. So Sir Naz firstly picked us and we hurried to the table like a pack of hungry animals that hasn’t eaten for days, piggish isn’t it? So all of our members ate a second plate of spaghetti and we went to our bags to get the materials we were instructed to take for our second session with Kuya Jun.
ReplyDeleteSo for our second session we made an album. We all took 3 or more pictures of ourselves and used our art materials to make an album, well not necessarily an album but just a small frame showing yourself and what happy experiences happened on that specific picture. At first we shared with our group mates then we all picked a representative to tell the whole room about every group mates’ photo albums. So I proudly represented the Villar family and told the stories behind their pictures, when, where and why the picture was taken. After our album making it was lunch already and like before all groups sang each of their family cheer, everyone was really happy singing out loud.
It was already lunch time and we ate fried chicken and “toge” we were really satisfied. And after our quick lunch almost all of us went to the porch to take in all the fresh air that sometimes you can’t get in Manila. We even pranked everyone by telling them to enter at the window so they’d all trip! We really had a fun time.
After lunch we learned a new dance and performed it all together then we took the papers taped on our chairs and stuck it on our backs so that our classmates could write the different traits we know and the traits they know that we don’t know. During our exercise many, including me insisted on other people to write traits about me. When the time stopped I insisted on writing on Chazz’ back so both were left standing and so Kuya Jun called us to answer a few questions about our activity. Like how we felt when our classmates wrote bad or good things, I had to admit everything I felt or reacted on some of the negative things written on the paper, but still after what we did I felt like I was relieved of a heavy load.
After our activity we we’re told to bring out our family pictures. So we took it out and shared when, where and why that photo was taken. Almost everybody from our group had a great story behind the pictures but two or three of them had the photo taken just because they like to.
After that, we reflected on our selves with a routine done every year on every recollection or retreat. So the story was that I was walking back from the recollection and as I walked the road, trees and everything else’s started to age and I can’t find my house. So I sat down and asked for and old lady for something to drink. When she let me in her house I insisted on looking at the photo albums. And I saw pictures of me and my family then she began telling stories about me and how I grew up to be a bad influence, how I destroyed my future and how I disappointed my family.
ReplyDeleteI Started to tear and realize that the old lady who has been kind to me was my mother and her husband was my father. I forced myself in them so that they would know in their heart that it was me, sadly I failed they did not recognize one bit of me. I mean can I blame them, would they want to remember the child they raised whole heartedly to grow up into such a big fat bag of disappointed. So they lead me out of their house and every step I took on the sidewalk away from my parents I remembered them, the good things they’ve done for me.
All I can do now is cry and wish that everything was just a dream and luckily it was. Though it was just a story I can’t help thinking “What if while I’m walking back home that would happen to me.
After our reflection I saw some of my classmates with marks of tears on their faces the one thing I didn’t have. So we wrote letters to GOD regarding our families. I wrote mine in a full prayer and I wrote it with love on each word.
Then Sir Naz told us to go down for our afternoon mass. I was chosen to read the first reading, so of course while going down I had a hint of doubt with myself if I could read solemnly for GOD. So we started the mass and when it was my turn to read Sir Naz got the reading wrong so I had to start the reading all over again. But all in all the recollection was a success.
After which we got our afternoon snacks and went back to the bus watching our unfinished DVD of “The Best of Elmo” so we went back to school happily, some still singing Elmo’s song. I went back home with memories I know I’ll cherish for a long time.
Lahat kami ay Masaya umuwi kami ng bahay ng masigla at may mga bakas ng pagbabago sa aming mga puso dulot ni Sir Naz, Ate Dona, Kuya Jun at Kuya Mac.
