Hello there fellas! Welcome to another outing series! Let's dive in to another hot summer adventure!
Summer Fever Alert!
So here we go again...
As mentioned in my previous blog, me and my batchmates had our pre-outing just before our moving up ceremony to celebrate the end of the school year and relax for the rest of the week. And THIS week, we had our annual joined class outing to officially end our junior high school years. The outing was held at a nearby beach with some large benches on the sides. It was a pretty calm scenery if I must add. And all of the food piling up on the table just made everything much more better. Saying these things, you might be thinking if I've stayed there for a long time. Well, not quite. Actually, my parents did not allow me to go because they think I've been going out too much lately (p.s. It was the first time I'd gone out this week lol) and I didn't really think much of it although I really wanted to go. I still continued making letters for my friends who were there to show my gratitude towards them for a whole year of bearing with me. I crammed making these letters - spent the whole night and day making them. I tried to make 70 letters (the number of students from both sections which include my friends also). And let me tell you, it was tiring. I had bloodshot eyes and my brain was fried from all the details I was still trying to comprehend. I tried my very best to make the letter memorable and meaningful though, despite not being sure if there would be last minute changes to my parent's decision. THANKFULLY my prayers were heard and just before the clock stuck 4, my mom FINALLY told me I could go (the outing would end at 5 supposedly). So I immediately put on some clothes, did my chores before heading out, and took a tricycle to the resort. When I got there, let's just say it wasn't the best scenario to be in after being so eager to go. Anyway, I just didn't mind those things and went to the next bench where some of my closest friends were sitting. Some were doing karaoke, eating, playing games, taking photos, and etc. Me and the rest of my friends chatted for the most part, including me just observing what everyone did in the meantime.
Anyway, I slowly started handing out the letters I made for ALMOST everyone (I didn't have much time to give everyone letters so I just prioritized those who I warmed up to). I earned a lot of hugs, compliments, and thank you's that day which really warmed my heart. I didn't expect some of them to react that way towards my simply made letters which definitely made my whole day a lot better. I was just glad to let them know how I felt about them, reminisced my happy memories with them, and send gratitude for all of the kindness they've shown me throughout the years. It was a moment that I'd certainly never forget. Some were in tears and thought that I'd be transferring elsewhere already (but it only depends on the gravity and circumstances of my current situation).
In the end, I left with a mirthful and jolly feelings in my heart. I was feeling content and serene with each moment as I continuously thought of how fast the days have gone by. Last time I checked, I was still one of those naive, jejemon, and nerdy kids from 6th grade. Opening my eyes, I am now unfolding a new chapter of my life - only a step away from creating my future. I don't know what awaits me, but I am certainly trying to live life to the fullest by romanticizing it, although my routines are repetitive.
I had a lot of fun during this remarkable day. This will be my last post about my junior high school journey. Thank you so much everyone and see you next time!
