The much awaited retreat of formdev… what can I say… It was so fun and relaxing. It’s probably one of the best retreats I’ve ever been to. A beautiful place, with friends, plenty of delicious food and most of all memorable and funny moments.
One of those funny experiences and moments was the OJT, this is where we show the newcomers to formdev a sample situation in classrooms. hehehe its so funny and exaggerated. First was the facis did a scene where they were basketball players disrupting the class…. next was cheerleaders! it was so funny because the facis that were supposed to act and disrupt the class in the situation were all boys and all of them had to lift their shorts in order to make it look like they were wearing skirts! hahah 
Last but not the least they posed as dancers having a dance off in the class! it was so funny….
There was also a video shoot where we had to make a video, it lasted for quite a while. The 3rd day we had to film the entire day and we even reached up until 2 or 3 in the morning and we were still filming scenes. I played a role that usually appeared in many scenes. So I stayed up pretty late, there was a point I couldn’t laugh anymore even though almost all of the scenes that we do had comedy in it. Too tired to even laugh! but overall it was pretty fun! since there were many funny moments there. Like:
Waway’s Bloody Hell line ( used in the dinner scene where brothers vs teachers )
Thas Right! line ( we used this when we agree on something hahaha )
Tekken fightoff! – me and others got bored while waiting so we were all roleplaying the different tekken characters and immitating their style of fighting! it was so hilarious!
Danceoff! – some of the other faci’s were having a dance showdown! hahah
Jolly Land! me, paul, waway, carlo, adz, rigor, yang, raine and jay-r were in jolly land! enjoying ourselves and having fun…. there were times there was a marathon where we ran uphill without any shirts on! so cold in tagaytay at night running uphill!
Last but not the least! Graduation! ofcourse some faci’s graduate from formdev because they also graduate from school! Im gonna miss them! Pre, Danon and Lai! The graduation was simple but took a long time. We all took turns describing the graduate and then telling a memorable experience about that graduate. It was so funny! even though more than half of the people in the room were sleepy and tired! I was one of the few that wasn’t so tired because I spent the time laughing.
I really want to go back with the formdev facis again! Its only been a few days and yet I already miss them! this is one of the most memorable moments of my life…. the funny thing is…. the day that we came back from the retreat is the same day as course card day or the day we get our grades from our different subjects! so after the retreat we went from tagaytay back to school and there we parted ways!
