Sabayan...
Greetings! Today is a happy day! The day started with me getting up at 430 to arrive at school at 530 and just to find out that as usual only a few people followed my instructions. There were only 5 of us. Anyway, we practiced a few more times before we dressed up. I was delighted of our face and arm paint. It was glittery. So, the most awaited Sabayang Bigkas started. I was of no use. You know why? Today I realized how hard it is to be mute. Yes, I lost my powerful voice. I just used my facial expressions and I emphasized my actions so that I could still be able to do something for the Sabayan. After more than a month of preparation, chaos, and hardships it was finally over with Linnae as 3rd, Berze as 2nd and Ptolemy as 1st. Even if my section, Mendel, did not win, we were contented with the outcome or at least I can say I am. Ptolemy is our neighbor section so we have been hearing them since day 1 and we know they really had something great. We did our best but I guess someone is better than us. "The hurt, it pains me so much!" - Mike. Of course, there can only be one winner. Of course, we, the losers were frustrated since we also practiced hard and sacrificed a lot for this competition. To let go of our frustrations we presented once again in our classroom and everyone was already shouting and there was a part where I will be carried and then the one who was carrying me jumped all around the room. Just imagine that. I also treat them with ice cream. It's good for our voices. Ehem. Ehem. Hahahaha. We dressed up and we rested. All of us were sleepy. Imagine getting home at 1130 pm and leaving at 500 am. Anyway we only had one class. Our adviser was very supportive. We are very lucky to have her as our adviser. After class another adventure begins. Earlier I asked the class who wants to go out, celebrate our defeat. Yeah, it's ironic, I know. Since my two great friends were going out with their section and we were suppose to go out, there was a change of plans. 6 of us went to Rob. We ate at KFC. Maritoni and I were so hungry we ate everything in the menu. Then she started to make fun of CM's hair. We were all laughing for about 20 minutes. We had our picture taken, my first picture with the Mendel crowd. Once again it was a laughing experience because of CM or the Cave Man. Then we proceeded to GBox, we played dance mania. Mike and Maritoni were experts, pH and I were just fine while CM and Ellaine were beginners. They called me "addict". Hey, it's Dance Mania, I love dancing. We were about to get the picture and Maritoni said she had to go home. When we reached the lower part of Gbox she then asked us if we want to play basketball. Of course I agreed since I love playing basketball in arcades. We had a competition and I won twice. In the first one the scores were 68, 47, 48 and 19. The cave man got 19, Mike got 47, Maton got 48. In the second one the scores were 72, 68, 56 and the cave man doesn't want to divulge his score. I'm rather fond of shooting some hoops in the arcade. It all started two years ago with Marj...huhuhu...I miss her...we even bought 20 tokens just for that. Anyway we also saw Ptolemy, Linnae and Berze at Gbox, clearly celebrating their win. We then got the pictures and whoa, the cave man looked exactly like a cave man. Then we went to the National Bookstore and finally went home. I just finished watching Slam Dunk. I really enjoyed this day. It was filled with fun and laughter though I don't think that my heart was laughing when I was. It's complicated. I'm starting to admit it to myself but then I can't do anything about it. Like Mike said, "The hurt, it pains so much!" Nobody would understand me since nobody knows.
Those who are great will be humbled and those who are humble will become great.
you know you love me
