I'm pretty sure you guys don't know since I never mentioned it here but I actually just got back from my Class Retreat with Year IV-St. Anne. Photos from the past two days will be uploaded as soon as I get this fan account done and get to upload some of my fancams (emphasis on the word some because 3/4 of my fancams are highly embarrassing and should never see the light of day if I want my dignity in tact). Anyhoo, it's been a very fulfilling experience and to sum it all up in one word: cryfest. I probably cried the hardest when I read my best friend's palanca. I thought that my well of tears had dried up already because I was reading my palancas sometime after 9 pm and I'd already shed a lot of liquified emotions more than I would like to admit during the earlier part of the evening. A lot of the palancas made me smile but when I reached Joy's letter (and I actually saved it for last), I lost all self-control. I practically had to run from the hall where my friends and I were sitting on the floor reading the letters. I ran out into the garden and sobbed my heart out in the darkness.
Below the jump-break are some parts from Joy's palanca.
