STILL LUCKY ENOUGH

Monday (October 6). This is the start of the Intramurals in our school. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch all the events because of the review for the DSPC. Good buena mano for our team when we won first in the cheer dance and second in the Mr. and Ms. Physique. I was present in the school for the first three days of Intrams but I wasn’t able to watch any of the games since I was confined in a room to have training.

I went home with my best friend. It’s the graduation day of my sister and since she’s like my relative also, a brought her home. Also, her brother is also my sister’s friend. We ate there...That’s all. Haaha!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUYA!!!!

Tuesday (October 7). Still reviewing the whole day... For an overnight stay, I went home to get my things. I told Ma’am that I’ll be back before seven. My mother and my father were not at home when I arrived but they knew I will have an overnight so they phoned my sister and told her to accompany me getting a tricycle. I don’t know what came to the mind of my sister. She didn’t want me to leave yet. She told me just to wait for Mama and Papa so they will ne bringing me to school. OH MY GOODNESS!! It was already 9:30 but I’m still at home. I was already sitting, waiting there for two and a half hours. Sabi nga, “Puti na mata ko sa kahihintay”. Good when they arrived because they still brought me to Maragondon just to have the overnight. “THANKS PA,MA!”.

Wednesday (October 8). I can feel I was floating on air. Imagine, no SLEEP the the whole night until morning---STRAIGHT! It was about six in the morning when w went out the school to buy news papers and breakfast. That was my first time to eat porridge in Maragondon Market. Yummy! Good thing there was I’M FULL after that. Haha! Shocking! When we went back to school, there are already students while I’m still wearing my PAMBAHAY ATTIRE. hahaha! I to our room then my friends laughed at me. Shame... The whole day, I’m NGARAG but still, I am very energetic. I can still shout and cheer my team.

Thursday (October 9). First day of Division Schools Press Conference or what we always say, D-S-P-C. Our contest was on this day- NEWS WRITING. I saw the ones who were with me last year in the RSPC. Those were my friends. There’s one I was expecting to see but I didn’t see her... Mariel. I can still remember the times when we were in Amadeo having the training for the RSPC... Every night, before we sleep, we’re playing different games. We’re sharing mind tricking games. There I’ve got the name “Ang Batang Magician”. It was not only me who had a new name. There were Ate Lyza- “Ang Batang Champion”, Kuya Arjhon-“Ang Batang Whammy”. There I met new friends: Jewel, Miriam, Lovely, Mariel, Ate Noreen, Melanie, Aira, Ate Verna, Kuya Maynard, Kuya Arjhon, and Kuya Patrick. The day ended up with a little frustration because I was not satisfied with my article. Why? I don’t know. Maybe because I focused on how will my article be different from others instead of how will my article be the vest one. Hmmm... So much more for that.

Friday (October 10). Since my contest was done, I didn’t join them anymore in Imus. Almost the whole day, I spent my time infront of the computer working on our school paper. I really wanted to finish our paper as soon as possible so that all of us, the staffs, can rest already. I know, it was hard to accomplish one paper but as soon as you’ve done it, that’s the only time you will feel the COMPLETENESS... Overwhelming on our part. Especially if it is winning. Well, aside from it, I also watched the intramurals. This is the last day so I guess, I better watch it. Haha! Awarding is what counts most. Loud cheers and yells of each team, with the thunders of claps... I love it.. I can say that this intrams was one event I will cherish in hih school life.

Saturday (October 11). Again and again and again... I need to go back the Imus though I don’t want. That was the hardest part of the contest for me. Judging. When the morning started, I begun talking to God. I told Him to help me be included in the top. I asked him any place except 8th. You know why? Because only top 7 will be included in the RSPC and it’s really “nakakapanglumo” if I will be in 8th place.

First, we attended the election for SWACS or the Student Writers Association of Cavite-Secondary. I wanted to run for president but my classmate was nominated by me. It was hard for me to do it but I’m proud of myself that I was able to give it to her. It was just after that, I said to myself, “nagpaubaya ka na naman”. I’m definitely sure, I have the big chance to win it if ever I tried. I don’t know but I was never been a loser in an election even in division level (Cavite). (If ever someone can read this, please don’t think I’m boastful or what so ever. I’m just expressing what’s inside me.=p).

The most awaiting event by most. Awarding. I wanted to go shopping already so I will not witness the awarding. Hayyy.... My face can’t be painted that time. I swear. I don’t know if I’m going to cry, or laugh or faint. I don’t know if I’m going to the c.r., outside, or transfer another chair far away from my schoolmates. Until third to last category, news writing-filipino. The more tension I felt. It was just in number 13 when I already heard my name. “Number thirteen, Karissa Villanueva of Cavite National Science High School, School paper- Ang Molekyuls, coach- Ms. Elenor Alcantara”.... Hayyyy... Why so early? I don’t want to stand yet eh. Haha! But I thanked God for I was still able to be included in the top 15. Hmmm. I’m still lucky enough because it was only me and Jewel who were included in the top. Hmmm... Huhuh!!! T_T... I won’t be able to go to Batangas for the RSPC.

When I arrived home, I put load on my phone and registerd to unlitxt. Instead of crying,I just focused myself on texting. Hayyy.. Thanks to all who listened to my nonsense stories... C’=

Sunday (October 12). I’m still sad about the thing happene the previous ay but good that everything was fine after I went to church. I was able to release the negative feelings inside me. Hayyy...

In the afternoon, I practiced cotillion. That is for the preparation of the debut of my cousin. I just realized while practicing. It’s quite a long time since I last dance in a program. It was three years ago when I last danced on stage of our school. Now, I understand. This school is different from the outside world. This has changed me a lot...
