Singles' Camp '14 | DAY 2

Woke up the second day feeling very poorly. It must've been the lack of sleep and anxiety, but I pep talk myself to not care too much of how poorly I feel and pray for it to go away. The day started off with the first talk by Ptr. Audie Santibanez. The main focus of the message is how God is relational and His image revolves around relationship itself. He pointed out that it's normal to feel the need to love and be loved. So in order to fill the gap of feeling unloved, one must know the five love languages. 

Let me walk you through the 5 love languages (char)... 
1. Words of Affirmation - when someone finds it easy to express appreciation and fluently speaks the 4 dialects (words of appreciation, words of encouragement, words of praise and kind words)
2. Gifts - when someone deliberately give gifts without saying, "I will give you if you will..."
3. Acts of Service - when someone gives service not out of fear but out of choice
4. Quality Time - when someone enjoy togetherness in general and loves to share the emotional connection.
5. Physical Touch - when someone believes that touches will speak louder than words

Everyone took the love language test and found out what love language fit their personality and what love language they prefer to receive from other people for them to feel loved. :)

The afternoon activity brought out the kakornihan in us. Groups of 3 were formed and were told to come up with any kind of joke and try to be a comedian for a minute in front of everyone. My group came up with a pick-up line that'll gross out the people. After the jokes were pulled off, we're told to come up with any story that we could think of. Some stories told were inspirational, situational, scary, and nonsensical. Hahaha but that's the fun of it.

As usual with camps, bonfire night is a must. But it's not about singing songs while sat on a log or sharing scary stories (ha ha typical bonfire night in movies). It's the time when we just talk about life in general. The topics went from what type of bird do you want to be to the non-negotiable aspects when you're looking for a life partner. I haven't thought of that until that night. Should I be concerned? Should I foresee na ba what my married life would be like? Nyaaaa.

The night is young! Off to night market. For almost a decade of coming back in forth in Baguio, I've never gone to the so-called night market so I went to see it for myself and... woah. Hahaha. Edsa revolution? I even got to see my high school classmate which is so bizarre. Of all places, dun pa kami nagkita. Arbs, Kerr and I couldn't handle the night market anymore so we sat by some statue somewhere and talked about how our parents got married after 6 months of dating. Haha wala lang. And by the time we met up with the group again, we took a lot of photos at almost every spot. Then we came back at the hotel just in time to surprise ate Mariane.
