YMCA 3 Day Camp Lazy Report

It's been fun being part of the camp. I have lots of things to tell but... I'm sort of... well... lazy to say more than enough. So the best way probably would be to go through a brief review of each day of the camp. I got some pictures as well :D


Day 1

I got up kind of early if I do say so myself. Considering that I slept 2 in the morning because I couldn't sleep and only had 3 hours of rest (Man... I may be having insomnia already! What do yah think?). Well anyway, IT'S NOT my fault I came in late. Not really late... but late enough to have all eyes on me when I came in. My mom accompanied me to the 5th floor to see how things are and to bid me goodbye. Again, it's not my fault for coming late... It was their fault for waking up off schedule.

Then... Welcome remarks... then lectures... while my stomach ached of hunger... I occassionally had these stomach pains (hyperacidity I believe?) but day 1 was definitely one of those unlucky days. I tried holding up until lunch though ( we had an icebreaker game before lunch and I was alleged of a mistake entitling me of a performance that I stalled up and promised to do later on w/ a guitar...)


Then came lunch... The stomach pain was still there even after I ate... even with my condition... I tried to hold up thinking that it’d go away after some while... So I had my co-criminal with me to practice on the song we were going to perform.

I thought they all forgot about it after the long boring lecture... But I guess we had no escape.

Then right after the performance... the pain was just unbearable... So I was asked to rest on the other side... I felt ok after a while... What a miracle!


Then the days ends... I was still up by midnight still laughing my internal parts out with my friend Marie... We both couldn't sleep... so what else could we do? :p

And yeah… I failed to mention of having gained attention through getting injured and people giving me “SPECIAL MENTIONS” during dinner.

Oh and yeah.. here's some pictures I haven't mentioned of yet:

Everyone's busy-> Here we have cedrick fixing Iris' crown, John and Keenly at the back and Jam taping Iris' crown to her hair.

Jam, Iris and Cedrick -> still preparing for the big fashion show, oh and at the back near the chairs is Mr. Manny Chan the big guy who's been in charge of a lot of things since the orientation. Really nice for someone bigtime :D

Fashion showdown-> From L-R --> Charles from Group Y, Mommy Wesley from Group M, Dan from Group A and Iris from Group C

Here we have Marie making "chikas" with the koreans while I sat quietly at a corner (I'm not in the picture though as I was the one who took the shot)

Everyone in the group poses... from L-R: Jenny, Hero, Stephanie, Clara, Joy and Marie

Something sure smells stinky... I wonder where it's coming from...

Here's an only picture of me and proof of my existence during the camp... and I can't believe that my only picture's with 2 monkeys on the back making fun of me... (joke :p) let's make that 2 genius monkeys.

Day 2

We had morning lectures… then some activity. There was this activity that recquired us to push against each other’s backs to be able to stand… But like I said… I’m too lazy to give all the details out.
But what I would never fail to mention is the Amazing Y Race…
It’s of course similar and taken from the famous Amazing Race. It was consist of 12 challenges in all. I’ll to go through each of it as clear as I can…

1.) Code Word -> we had to pass a letter through scribbling with our fingers and feeling what letter it is. After collecting all the letters and is confirmed correct, then we may start figuring what the code is. The code was Manila DownTown YMCA… it took as a while to advance because we made a mistake on one letter. We were the last to proceed but we managed to catch up.
2.) … Wah.. I don’t really remember what goes next or what… Nevermind.. let’s just get to the annoying part. After getting 2 or 3 obstacles ahead… they were able to catch up with us because of the annoying smiley face draw lots… whatever that is… it took as a while… maybe 45 minutes to find it… We were lucky enough that John looked through the pieces of paper down the floor and saw it.
3.) I believe we came in second… but due to technicalities… we were pushed to 3rd place instead… how sad L O.o oh no! not another one of those stupid smileys! RUN!!!

Day 3

I finished doing the chorus part of the song I was asked to revise and compose. I did well… but not without the help of the three gutty volunteers who out of pity helped (just kidding :D)

And that gained me excuse of not joining the “MEETING OTHERS” activity which I hated the most ever since I was in nursery. You know… I’m blah blah.. I’m this old… blah blah… I’m blah blah blah… I hated that a lot… That’s really not for people like me… ( a loner if put in a simpler term)

Then we practiced the song and performed it in front of Korean guests from YMCA Korea…

But before the guests came… everyone talked about the youth club. And the meeting was ended with everyone wholeheartedly joining the club.

Then all left after the merienda (goodbye meal)
