#TeamGC swim swim!
So last May 30, 2014, a day before my birthday, my college friends and I went on a swimming trip! The food and cottage expenses were shouldered by some of the birthday celebrants for the summer months. We talked about this for days and days on our FB event page and I would still love to go back there since there were tons of hilarious conversations that went on while deciding what food to bring and what to wear and what time to be there and everything. We actually invited 17 people to attend but only 11 people were able to come since lots of people were busy, broke or overseas for the summer.
So yeah, we met at Concepcion church at Marikina in the morning (where we lugged around our pot lucks and bought last minute additions such as pizzas, fried chicken and ice lol) and the first thing I did when I went up to them was complain and they laughed at me saying they bet that I was going to complain first thing when I got there (what an image I have right lol). We took tricycles to the resort (Vista Al Ciudad) and I was with Charri inside the tricycle and the softdrink bottles and the rice cooker were pressing onto our legs and feet since the resort was uphill and we were crying/laughing all the way ; u ; hahahaha
The entrance to the resort was super steep too and I was lugging the softdrink bottles up when Shame's boyfriend offered to help (awwww guess there are still gentlemen in the world) then we trudged (im laughing at my choice of words here hahaha) up to our cottage and set up the food after we paid for our entrance fees. Jada and I were left to set up the food since a lot of them went out for photoshoots and to change their clothes. I was already so excited to swim so we took some pics fast and screamed at them to eat already so we could go swimming lol they wouldn't let me eat without everyone present (im sad, my pizza slice had to go back in the box *tear) so yeah Jada and I were the first ones at the pool, there was also another group of people, high school students I think, that were at the resort and we had to share or swap pools since there was a regular one and a kiddie pool. =))
Eventually they all came down too and we played tons of pool games under the scorching sun, I was already beginning to get darker OTL I don't get sunburned, my melanin count increases a lot. LOL Some of my friends (or maybe everyone except for me) went on the huge slide towards the deep end of the pool and it was so friggin funny how at some of those attempts, they didn't get any momentum and ended up just skidding on the slide and jumping down at the bottom, odg hahahaha (I'm talking about you Dianne hahahaha).
I did go on a slide though, the 4 feet one by the kiddie pool! Hahahaha sounds lame but it was fun especially if there are four of you and someone just accidentally steps on your foot when you get to the pool and you almost drown (Thanks MM!)
Halfway through the day we were just lounging on the side of the pool even though the other group already left and we had the whole resort to ourselves lol we were sitting on the stairs and telling stories like how Jill and her boyfriend got back together lol and talking about our classmates *coughbackstabbingcough* loljk those moments are the best, I love talking to these people <3
We got up a little while after and ate a bit more then had our 'official' photoshoot thanks to Shame and her DSLR! Hahahahaha we were sitting on this fence with a nice view and got scolded by a resort worker loooooool but we still managed to get a lot of nice photos!
We returned to swim (now armed with sunblock!!!) and played some more games~ Shame's boyfriend knew so many water games I was just @__@ lol I couldn't even join some of them coz I didn't get the mechanics hahaha I enjoyed them though since my team could win with teamwork HAHAHAHA
Most of the time we just stayed by the mushroom in the middle of the pool to get away from the sun, Jez learned to swim that day since her mom carried her on her back hahahahaha also her make up wore off eventually hahahaha we played a lot of the washing machine game hahaha how is it even called really, and the one where we hold hands and go in circles and really it's just the ones who can swim trying to drown us who can't by dragging us to the deep end of the pool! And also by almost always trying to make us hit our heads on the stem of the mushroom thing. Hahahaha
We had more time to chat and we started scaring each other with talks of monsters and killers and a little while after that, thunders came rolling and the post lights started flickering we were panicking hahahaha then heavy rain poured and we just screamed like little kids and played more games such as the drowning game mentioned before (which is a whole lot harder under huge drops of rain and strong cold wind on your face and eyes!!)
Then the resort workers started badgering us at 4pm telling us we should get a move on since we already 'extended one hour' when we thought that we had the resort until 6pm @___@ but we had no choice but to get up in the pouring rain and go back to our cottage only to find out that OUR THINGS WERE SOAKING WET!
I'm glad I put my towel above my bag so my things were half decent but my towel was soaked and didn't help much when we took a shower (Lorenz showered with us girls coz the boys' shower room was friggin scary) it was super funny though idk hahahahahaha
After that, we migrated to a dryer place where we could deposit our bags and things and finish eating our leftover food (I got to take home a few more chips yay) while some of their things were hung to dry. The rain was over but it already damaged the clothes. LOL
We all then went back to Concepcion so they could go back to Jada's to spend a few more minutes to dry off while I took a tricycle home (which cost me P70 sobs) and passed out at home coz the day was so friggin tiring and fun!
There were a lot who couldn't come with us but we get another chance!! Our professor in Experimental Psychology is close with some of our friends, and she invited them to go swimming in their subdivision pool, and luckily our group got invited too! Hahahaha so on July 2, 2014, we're going to spend the 2nd anniversary of #TeamGC swimming again, with hopefully more of our members!
I should put more sunblock this time......... LOL

Psychology major friends
Having Psychology major friends is awesome coz everyone is witty and intelligent and open minded! People do their best to understand, they put themselves in your shoes first before they try to give advice. And that works! Because they think before they act. It works, having a good relationship with people who give you space when you need space, company when you need company, advice when you need advice, humor when you need humor (and that is during everyday of our lives) and even (metaphorical) violence when you have the urge to be violent.
Maybe not /every/ Psychology major is like them but I'm really glad I'm friends with these people. The support they give me is unbelievably comforting.
This awesome group of people tease each other everyday, and we give each other headaches and get annoyed with each other sometimes. But when someone starts with the jokes again and laughter ensues, all bad thoughts are forgotten, and forgiven. Everyone speaks their minds and everyone might have bad things to say to other people, but we know how to tell them to each other without it hurting each other. We tell each other the bad stuff so we can learn to adjust and to grow to be a better person, not to hurt them and urge them to grow apart from the rest of the group.
We're not perfect, but we support each other and we don't hide our real feelings, good or bad, from each other.
When we talk, we think first, we choose our words wisely to not hurt others. And we trust that when we say something, people will try their best to respect and understand to not take things the wrong way.
I don't know. This is my point of view in my group of friends right now. It could possibly not be like this in their opinions, but this is how they make me feel. They make me feel loved and supported and safe.
I love them to bits and I know some friendships don't last forever, but I hope this does.
Gonna start thinking in a positive light again. <3
