Camping at Philip's Sanctuary





It was my first camp out in the woods. It was so funnn! Firstly, my group’s name is Air Nomads and the color is white. We had a pretty awesome flag  :D Our camping destination is at Philip’s Sanctuary at Tanay, Antipolo.

Survival Gate

The first game is Survival Gate. It was real awesome. First in the Survival Gate game is the Spiderweb. You get to drop all of your bags inside the holes. I got  2 big bags, so I got pretty hard dropping it in the holes. Next part, you will go inside of it, then you will do the Wall Climb. In the Wall Climb, you will climb up a 10 feet wooden wall! Scary, huh? Err… But actually it is super fun! Our team had a tall assistant leader, so we all had a good time climbing up. Next obstacle, is the Monkey Bars. Sounds like easy… But it is high. I can even reach it, but when I jump I can. The only problem is, I’m no good at it  So my teacher helped me up. Next part, the Net Climb. You get to climb a range of nets going up, then going down. When we were all finished, we shouted our yell. That is, “Jump around, scream and shout, that’s what spirit’s all about. Come on! Let’s see some spirit! Gooooo Air Nomads!!!!!”.  Even more amazing, we got the 1st place as best time!!

Treasure Hunt

Before we did the game, we went to our cottages and rested for a while. In the Treasure Hunt game, we will look for flaglets. We looked and looked. I got the smallest amount of flaglets in hand  :D:D:D  We were third to the last. Anyway, We had 301 points from the flags, much more than enough for the water guns we will get for 25 pts each to use at the Water Gun Combat.

Zip Line

Yay!!! We cooked and ate lunch before doing the cool Zip Line. So fun! We went to the Zip Line, and I was the second from first in line! It was amazing. Really had an amazing view, wind and the brushing of the coconut trees to your face! I really hope we do it again and again. XD

Hanging Bridge

In the hanging bridge, we walked on ropes. With ropes also surrounding us to hold on. It was long and peaceful. Imagine walking in a high rope bridge, with the fresh air swaying and the cool water view beneath you. It was a total awesome thing. It was a little scary, cause I almost lost my balance

Bamboo Rafting

It was relaxing in the Bamboo Rafting part. I really wanted a laugh so I planned to do something. I sat heavy on the right side of the Bamboo, and the left side sank  those who are onboard said “Whoa! We need balance, bal..” Before they could finish the sentence, I did it on the left side  When they saw me doing it, the also laughed

Commando Crawl

This crawl is actually a mud crawl! We had to crawl on mud. Yeah, sticky, stinky mud. Oh, and by the way, you must really crawl, not walk, or if not your group will be demerit! We was fighting over the showers

Hotdog Roasting at the Bonfire

We cleaned up first and put insect repellant before going to the bonfire site, as the sun was already setting. While putting the Kerosene, we talked a little about why we have a camp out activity and what it can do for us. Then the fire arose at around 6pm. We prepared our big hotdog stick used to roast hotdogs so the small, thin stick wont burn. We made those big sticks by buying wood and metal wires and used one hot dog stick. Just attached the wood to the stick. The leader and assistant leader of our group first roasted hotdogs. Then the other highschools in our group, then grade 6. The bonfire was so wonderful-some of the fire flew up and broke down to little circles and flied like fireflies. I saw the grade 6 up to highschool members of our group roasting hotdogs and thought that roasting hotdogs by myself without any one to help me and in a forest may be a wonderful experience, even though I heard the other groups complaining that it is so hot on the face. So I tried. True, it was really hot on the face and in the arms, but despite the heat of it, I forgotten all about it and enjoyed it. It felt that I was warmed by nature, that experience warmed my heart. The other members of our group who where grade 5, grade 4 and grade 3 saw me enjoying it, they asked me if I was hurt by the heat. I said a little, but come, try it! It’s so fun!. So then they joined me, but they still don’t like the extreme heat of it. Well I was sweating a little and my face was red so I said to them that I’ve got a new idea. That idea was to use my hoodie and cover the cap on my face. It worked, I felt less hot and luckily, my hoodie is translucent, so I could see through it a little. When we were finished roasting all of it, we went to our hut and ate those hotdogs and ate some rice and canned good leftovers last lunch.

I’ve got so much to tell! I’ll tell you the next time I’ll have free time.

Curling hair!

Hi there everyone! I so much love curling my hair without heat so my hair will be not damaged. Here are steps I did to curl my hair.

Things you need:
Rollers (I used Goody Wake up with curls green foam rollers, but remember only use it if you want hair that is cute short because it shortens your hair but it is veryy cute!)
Detangler or Water (Inside a sprayer)
Comb (I use a boar bristle brush)
Raptail Comb
Mirror
Volumizer (optional)
Step one: Take a bath if possible with a volumizing and damage lessen shampoo and conditioner. I also used Loreal Paris total repair daily repair because I don’t have any volumizers. You can use it too. I love it because it really made my hair soft and shiny, just be careful not to put it on the scalp cause the hair in the scalp contains the enough softness. After taking a bath blow dry your hair.
Step two: Spray detangler or Water into your hair. Just put a little bit so it can curl fast. Brush your hair after doing so.
Step three: Set up your rollers nice and clean. Raptail comb the part you want to curl so it can be handled more easily.
Step four: Roll the rollers from your hair tips then to your hair roots then lock it. If you used Goody Wake Up With Curls you will remove the white locker of it then roll it normally. To lock it put the white locker to the handles.
Step five: You can spray volumizer if you want.
Step six: Blow dry your hair. The blow dry should be hot. You can use a heat dry too.
Step seven: To add up volume finish with cool air.
Then there you go! I just overnight the roller the when I woke up I unrolled it and it was so fab!
I hope the curling steps helped!

One of my very best field trip!

O.K you may ask why?.. This October 5, 2011 we had a field trip in Ocean Adventure, Subic Bay Freeport Zone here in the Philippines. First we went through hours of travel, but it's still worth it. While traveling we had much things to look at, such as Mt. Pinatubo. Mt. Pinatubo is an active volcano but after it erupted it never erupted again. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo lasted for 2 weeks! I wonder if I were living there at that time it erupted. Some of the lahar were still there and the nearby Church was covered with lahar too! The top of the church was the only one left to be seen. We passed by a bat kingdom! Well it's a longggg way going there so I forgot some of the views! Then we arrived at Ocean Adventure. The first show we went to was the Rock and Roll or Finny Studies Seaweed Center. Then we went to the Sea lion point. Then to the Adventure of Olongapo Jones.  It was super fun!
It was a very special day. I was really excited about the shows, so I think they noticed me. When It was the Dolphin and Friends Show I was saying "I really wish I could touch it!" while struggling through the crowd. And when mom and I was searching for a vaccant seat, before we could find a seat, a woman asked whos name is Tine "Gusto mo ba maka touch ng dolphin? gusto mo? ( Do you like to touch a dolphin? Do you like?)" I said excitedly "YESSSS I would want to!!" and my mom said "Oh yes she would like to touch the dolphins!". When we said that Tine told us if it is okay for me to get a little wet from the water and we replied yes. Then Tine lead me down near the open place where the show begins but hidden from the audience. Tine asked my name and teached me what to do and the dance steps I needed to do. I was like Oh My! Eventually the time came when it was my part to go down a stair to a float pad joining the dolphin trainers. The spokesman told them my name and asked me if I am ready. I said out loud cause I did not held a microphone a big, YES! Then he said then let us start! Tine lead me near the dolphin and asked me to touch it. To my excitement I enclosed by my hands its mouth! But the dolphin was super friendly, it just winked and smiled. Then I fed it with a fish named galunggong! The spokesman said that I was going to do a special dance for the dolphins along with the dolphin trainers. I did the dance taught to me which was very simple. Turn around three times, move my arm with out moving the shoulders up and down and do a little dance of my own. It was very fun. When I turned, the dolphins turned! Yes, all of them! When I moved my arms up and down, they moved their noses up and down! I fed them again with fish as their reward of entertaining the audience. Then I was asked to stand straight and raise my hands as soon as they said go. When I raised my hands, they swam across the sea! then they came back, to my surprise the jumped! And I was wet and joyous about it! And they are so cute! I fed them again as their reward. The trainers asked me to sit and the dolphin jumped into the float pad! They said picture, picture! I was going to hug the dolphin but to my excitement I steped on the dolphins flipper! They said "ooh, be carful" I said that I was sorry to the dolphin but it just winked and smiled again! Oh how forgiveful and sweet these animals can be! Well i got to say it even poised! A poise of raising its tail up and curving it while me hugging it. I had a sweet smile! And I had a joyus smile! What a day! I will never forget that amazing day! So that's my story :) Goodbye for now!




Love and Light,
