I don't know why am I doing this blog rather than starting my super long to-do list. :/ Anyway, last Friday (June 01, 2012) the ICSM Faculty elementary level had the team building held in Falcon Crest Resort in Norzagaray, Bulacan. We left the ICSM courtyard at around 6am. Had our stopover in Petron-NLEx to eat our breakfast. Encountered morning traffic in Bocaue and arrived in the venue around 9am. Since it's just a one day event, it was jam-packed Friday for everyone! 10 minutes were given to us to prepare ourselves, change clothes, tie our hair, etc. After individual preparations, the session started.
FIRST ACTIVITY: Groupings were made and given 10 minutes to create a team name and cheer. My group ended up with the name "AVENGERS" and the other team was called "FALCONS" To be honest, the cheer made by the Falcons was way better than our cheer.
SECOND ACTIVITY: The Hula Hoop challenge. Composed of two activities and both need cooperation. I enjoyed it, actually.

THIRD ACTIVITY: The Zip line experience. Most of the teachers do not have experience on it. Different expressions were seen. Nervousness all over the first timers. Since I know the feeling in the wire, I was relaxed all through out. And for the win, as I expected, most of the teachers enjoyed the ride.
FOURTH ACTIVITY: The Obstacle Course. We need to go to the other side by balancing ourselves in a thick wire with the help of ropes. If ever you fall, you need to go back from the start plus you'll get wet because you will land in a small shallow pond. Gladly, no one fell. We won the challenge! :)
This is the half portion of the obstacle course. :)
FIFTH ACTIVITY: Tire Course. Did not join this activity since the Falcon team cut their members to 11 participants, we need to match them with the same number of participants.So I just took pictures. And again, we won the match. :)
SIXTH ACTIVITY: Wall climbing. Thinking twice if I'll try this one, ended up doing it. I thought it will just be easy. But for me, since I am kinda big girl, I really had a hard time especially when I was a little over the half. The different sizes of the stepping thing made it hard for me. But at least I tried it. :)
After the tiring first part of the event, we were given an hour to rest and eat our lunch. :) Time to refresh with some cold water.
SEVENTH ACTIVITY: Rappelling. And again, another extreme activity that I already tried in past. But this time it's longer. around 40 feet above the ground. :)
The venue was so green. You'll appreciate the nature. :)

EIGHTH ACTIVITY: Pass Through the Net: And again few members were allowed to join. And I did not join. So I was again a photographer. And again and again and again, we won the challenge. :)

NINTH ACTIVITY: Plug the Hole. No pictures from the activity since all the members were expecting to participate in the activity. Cooperation, coordination were needed for the activity.

TENTH ACTIVITY: Swimming. Everyone hurried to the water after the hot, tiring activities. The warm water was perfect for us. 2 hours in the water made us really tired.

By the end of the day, all of us were dead tired! But it's really fun and exciting day for everyone.
