The Birth Of Venus: Singles' Camp '14

Bittersweet third day. It's when it dawns on you that the last day is nearing and you felt like you haven't gotten in the zone yet. And it's also the day when you finally get the hang of everything and almost everyone (for me at least) and yet the camp is almost over. Noooooo!

The start of the day embraced me with cold Baguio morning mist and it was just aaaaahhhh brrrr! Ptr. Rex Dela Pena gave the talk for the day where he talked about the meaning of this year's theme "Level Up!" Some defined leveling up as a way of becoming a better version of yourself everyday, in other term... change. But Ptr. Rex pointed out that it's not about you making a constant change in your life whereas it's about you walking in your destiny. However, for us to level up, we have to have the idea of where we're supposed to go. But before that, we have to assess where we are up to this point in our lives and assess in what particular areas of our lives we want to level up. With that, we'll have growing awareness of who we are.

To fully grasp the idea of assessing where we are right now before we level up, Ptr. Rex made us take the "Myers Briggs Test Indicator". It's a test that lets us know more about ourselves, where we're coming from, and understanding the differences of everyone. Everyone had different types of personalities and the meanings of the personalities really justified everyone's personalities. I've really gotten to know myself more. It turns out I'm an INTJ (Introversion/Intuition/Thinking/Judging) and I'm the same as John and Solomon.

The whole afternoon was up to our hands. We can gala all over Baguio for 5 hours. So I fought lethargy after lunch and went with Arvie, Kerri, Chloe, Dandan and Luigi for some Baguio explorin'. Usually, when I'm at Baguio, I go to the typical crowded tourist spots like Burnham Park, Mines View Park or Wright Park. Ayoko talaga mag-park. Char hahaha. But this trip took a turn, we first went to the Old Diplomat Hotel. It was legit old. I didn't care much of the history of it (haha typical me) but as I looked at the old photos from the hotel, some serious Dominicans lived there and eventually built a school in it. And the rest was history hahaha. Me going to that place was unusual because for starters I'm very duwag but I find it cool anyways. It was such a bummer that we didn't get to the second floor of the hotel. Manong guard wouldn't let us in for some reason.

We decided to go to Bencab Museum instead and after an hour of Baguio traffic, we got to the museum only to find out it was closed. -_- We shrugged it off and went to Ketchup community to eat a decent meal and surprise surprise... they closed out early that day. Hoooo patience! Just across Ketchup, Arvie and I did our annual horseback-riding photo. Since we're on the back of the horse already, we became a typical Baguio turista and slowly made the horse go for rounds. It wasn't fun. Haha. We capped the trip off with a Volante's pizza topped with the hottest hot sauce.

Just in time for the dance night. :) Oh, you know how it goes.

After the dance night, my tummy felt funny and I was curling up in pain but that didn't hinder me to have a late dinner @ 50's Diner.
