Facing fears!

May 14, 2008 2:44 PM

The teens started off the day with a team breakfast and everything was done in military style. The food was portioned and the eating was timed. And to add to their growing indigestion was the way they had to eat their food – with a ruler straight back and with the food to be brought to their mouth. To emphasize teamwork, they had to share a cup of water, and they had to eat the leftovers of their teammate so as not to waste food.

The teens were then given a brief lecture on rappelling. Besides Robi and Nicole, nobody else had experienced it and all listened intently. The officers differentiated the kinds of rappelling. One of which is the run down, similar to that of a spider. And the other is the standard, which Robi and Nicole had tried out and would be experienced by the rest. The officers also warned them on rope burns, but besides that, they had nothing to fear. One crucial advice for the teens was to trust and give their confidence to the rope.

Everyone was psyched with the activity. The buddy system would be used and the teens paired up. First up the wall was True Blue Atenista Robi. He seemed to enjoy it much that as soon as he got down, he wanted to have another go at it again. The lecture appeared easy for the teens, but as soon as they were up, all buckled with the activity. They fumbled and struggled with the rope and the officers constantly reminded them to trust the ropes and hold on to it.

After this grueling task, the teens were incredibly famished. Despite this, they had no choice and still had to catch their lunch. They were first taught how to improvise on a fishing rod using a kawayan and then attach the bait on the hook. However they weren’t going to catch fish for their lunch. The officers tipped over a basket and released live frogs. The creatures wildly hopped and the teens frantically ran the other way. Everyone was totally terrified with the green creatures except for Valerie and Rona who enjoyed running after them. To boost up the teens, the officers announced that the first to accomplish adobong palaka would get five merits. All stepped up their game except for Beauty and Nicole. The officers firmly called everyone into a straight line and forcefully had them hold a frog each. Nicole avoided the equally scared frog like the plague while Beauty sobbed loudly in a corner. The two eventually got over it thanks to Rona and Valerie who convinced them that the frogs were harmless.

Everyone then cooked with much precision and dogged determination to earn the merits. Who among them will weasel out merits from the hard-to-please officers? Meanwhile, house player Andi had gone missing since this morning. Did she surrender to the pressure and followed Shy’s footsteps?
