Last week, we went to the Project S.C.H.O.O.L. Leaders' Retreat. It spanned from last Saturday up to Monday. Sadly, Mikey spent the night at my house so we could get to Ortigas easier. This is sad because neither of us got any sleep. We spent the night talking and playing O2Jam rofl. So naturally we were dead tired on the first day of camp. It was so bad that I fell asleep at like 10 PM that first night, and I didn't wake up to the sounds of my roommates' laughter at all, which I normally would've at least been bothered with.

The retreat itself was intense. We learned a whole lot of new things, like how important discipleship is. I also met some of the people from JZone Bulacan and the newly-founded JZone Cebu. Our free times, though few and short, were also much fun. I chose not to sleep during the free times even though I was tired, so I can have a chance to bond with new and old friends alike.

When we got home on Monday night, our cousins (mother's side) were all here at our house, around the pool area. My young niece learned to swim on the spot. But I was just happy to be home because of the long and tiring journey we went through.

As for B-boying news, I learned a few new things, including something I want to try. First, I can do a 1-handed handstand already, but only for a very short time. I think the longest I've done is about 2 seconds, tops. But it's time enough to do something interesting with your legs or your other hand. :D So I'll play around with that. Second, I'm going to try to do a hollowback. Not the intense kind where your body is horizontal to the ground. More like a fake one. It starts off with one leg piked (like an L-kick, but with your body facing upward), then you put your free hand down on the floor. The way I see it, you should be able to hold the position for a little while. Long enough for people to see what you're doing, at least. I'm working on my upper body strength to help me with that. I did some fingers-pointing-inward push-ups, and my pecs are killing me lol.
