ECLAT

Last weekend i was supposed to go to tagaytay with my high school friends and stay at my friend's house. i was so excited and then good 'ol el presidente, mr. cheson begged if i could come to this year's summer ECLAT. It's the time where the fil-chi org of Celadon and Lasalle come together and fight it out on who really is the better school... haha no offense to anyone... anyways, he was able to pursuade me naman and i was sort of curious on what goes on during the ECLAT. i mean id be surprised if no one gets killed along the way. hehe

so there i was off to caliraya laguna where the team building was supposed to be held. it took us i think about 3-4 freaking hours just to get to the place. literally, mu butt was extra numb! haha anyways, the numbness paid off coz when we reached the place, my god, it was so beautiful!! haha hmmm let me think of a good word, paradise! we had to take a boat to get to the resort. ted, joyce, edmond and paulrich greeted us on the dock. i was super excited.

anyways, so we got to the cottage and it was ayt. then after settling we immediately proceeded to the dining hall where our buffet lunch was waiting for us! haha sweet Jesus!! then we went na to the conference room where the group dynamics and getting to know people started. well, i happen to do something super embarassing during that session!! as in super nakakahiya talaga yung ginawa ko... (haha just ask any person who went to the ECLAT... coz im extremely embarassed to write it here) anyways, its all good....

the lasalle people were okay naman... contrary to what kinsley had been blabberring all morning!!! haha grabe siya manlait sobra! hehe for us its funny, but wait till a lasallite hears what he has to say... anyways, so after the dg, it was dinner time na, since 6 pm yung call time for dinner. then after we started the amazing race... it was super saya!! we got to solve like a mystery murder case, using clues that we got by completing different stations. there was one station wherein i was forced to drink a shot of hotsauce and patis!!! yuck! grossest thing ive ever tasted...

our clues got all mixed up coz one station accepted our clue when they werent supposed to.. that caused us some valuable time, but in the end, we got to the final station first. and then we figure out that we still missed one more station! gosh!! super pagod na kami with all the running up and down the hills and stairs and all that stuff. pero in the end, there were 3 teams trying to solve the mystery of ted's murder... we were so confused as to who killed ted, caused there were so many angles to look at... we felt like we were true CSI investigators... it was super fun.. anyways it turns out that no group got the right answers. but the closest story was bso's group so they won. i believe that the story's flawed!! our story was more credible, more realistic and more CSI-ish!!! haha

the next day we decided to go on a canoe ride at Lake Caliraya!! exag super ganda talaga ng scenery! there's even a temptation island that we coined there coz i think its a private resort that was super gorgeous talaga!! we paddled our way to different views of laguna. we even got to see a huge carabao taking a dip in the lake... how cool is that!!! the next day, everyone got sunburned.... my legs are like cookies and cream right now....

anyways, got to meet new people and gain new friends, a few not so good incidents here and there, but that's all good. haha just goes to prove first impressions are not always correct. all in all, i think the ECLAT was a success!!! congrats to the project heads and to Joyce and Ted. im looking forward to the next ECLAT!!! haha hopefully there will be more, extra-hot, gorgeous single chicks from Lasalle next time... hehe
