buddist camp day 2

today which is thursday. lst night i wore a long sport pants and a shirt and a jacket to sleep because my room mates say that it will be cold in the morning... so i wore those and hope that its not that cold in the morning because i am living in a 'kuti' it a small wooden house as i have mentioned before. it on the hill i think.. anyways... the next morning i woke up, WOW!! it was really freezing cold. it was so damn cold that my whole body was shaking.. if i am not mistaken all of us woke up around 6-7 around that time.. then the great silence begins... ll of us gathered at the hall for morning chanting and sitting meditation. afer that we had breakfast.. i really seriously forgot what we ate. later on our outdoor activity begins. we did group dynamics which requires teamwork. after that we had lunch and our activities continues. we did an indoor this time instead of outdoor which is a mind challenge game.. SUDOKU... haiz.. i took me matters of time to think.. but actually i didn't do anything.. i fell asleep instead.. haha..then later on.. outdoor time...another group dynamics which is basketball but looks more like a captain ball.... whatever la.... then after that we did an evening chanting then an introduction of walking meditation. then at around 7 we had dinner. later, we had an indoor activity again. it was to test our attitude. the key to our success. after that our final activity of the day. which is NIGHT TREKKING damn it was so damn scary in the jungle.. haiz.... but we have fun.. we navigated and we too learn again about compass thing.. then after all that we were supposed to have asaturday night special which is a night movie but then two teams got lost in the jungle so we missed it la... then at around midnight, we went back to kuti and lights out..
