This is going to be one of my very rare posts here in Blogspot that is not going to appear in Multiply. :) So listen well, okay?

I know that Ma'am GG and Ma'am Annie were only concerned of our safety but I just feel so bad because indirectly, they kind of ruined the fun for us. Looking back on Che's birthday, despite all the good memories, there will always be this bad memory lingering beside the good ones and that's so unfair for us because that event was only suppose to have good memories, not bad ones. Also, I hope that they realize how much this affected us.

Why?

1. Batch Shirt. baaang. Only around 5 guys were not wearing batch shirts. That's almost everyone in the batch wearing the batch shirts. :)

2. Batch Spirit. The cheers. :)) Mmm..Adrenaline rush.=)

I'll tell you what happened today, okay?

Before I slept last night, I decided not to bring my sister's cam because I didn't have spare batteries to change the current, almost-dead ones. =| I changed my mind minutes before I left our house. I sort of sensed that I needed it today. Maybe I needed it more than I did yesterday. Gut feelings, you know? I went with it, not really knowing why.

With almost-dead batteries, I only took pictures of events/moments that really needed to be remembered years from now. For the fifth day in a row, I arrived in school exactly 5 minutes before 7:30. *whew*

Walking to the gym, I felt like an outsider because I was wearing our school uniform which is quite ironic because I was in school so I shouldn't have felt like an outsider. :)) Btw, I was wearing our school uniform because the induction of officers was scheduled today and since I'm the 3rd year governor, I should be in uniform blah blah.

The program started at around 8 AM. The SG officers were seated near the stage. I hated that. I could only get a side shot of the performers. =|

Oh yeah, before the program started, we were all asked to go outside the gym to witness the turning over the fence. Er. I didn't get that. Nobody explained to us where the hell that fence is located. Oh well, at least we have a Php1,000,000 worth of land/fence (not sure haha). Yay?

The gathering outside of the gym didn't last long. *whew* We got to sit down again *yay* when we went inside the gym.

The opening salvo was very nice. *two thumbs up* It's got Sir Mancao written all over it. :)) For those who don't know, the opening salvo is a dance showcase (Polka sa Nayon) of all the Philippine Folk Dance participants.

After that was a short speech by Ma'am Legaspino. The speech is the almost the same every year, don't you think? Talk about how Pisay is so amazing for surviving *insert number* of years blah blah. Well, duh, it is the foundation day. =|

and finally, the competition started.

Kundiman & Philippine Folk Dance

Ohmygosh. I was nervous for them too!

What if something went wrong with Max's CD? or worse, her voice?
What if someone's glass broke? or worse, someone accidentally steps on a broken glass?

Yeah, I get paranoid easily. haha. XD

In between the performaces of the participants, guest speaker, Atty, Karlo Alexis B. Nograles, delivered a speech. You know, I never knew he was a Pisay graduate. hehe. :) He's from Pisay Diliman. :P

Also, there was a presentation of awards (Loyalty & Perfect Attendance) Er. I don't mean to be rude but were those pictures in the slideshow Photoshop-ed in any way? hehe. >_< I don't remember anyone getting the Perfect Attendance award. :)) Is that because of my bad memory?

Of course, theere was also the induction of newly-elected officers (PSHSSMC Foundation Officers, PTA Executive Board, DPA Officers and SG & Year Level Officers). We took the oath blah blah.

and finally, the announcement of the winners. *gulp*

KUNDIMAN
4th place- 2nd year
3rd place- 4th year
2nd place- JUNIORS!

1st place- 1st year

PHIL FOLK DANCE
4th place-1st year

3rd place- 2nd year

2nd place- JUNIORS!

isang baso lang ang nabasag nila! :))

1st place- 4th year

Two 2nd places?

Maganda na yan uy! Walay 3rd and 4th place :) Except for the lakan & lakambini thing. That contest was just purely based on costumes, right? haha. XD

And the "hoo-ha" cheer's back! :)) JUNIORS IN THE HOUSE, HOO HA! HOO HA!

We all cheered for Maxine and the dancers. :) Congrats sa inyong lahat!

Partaaay!

After the repeat performance of the Seniors, almost everyone headed for the canteen. We were all searching for the food that we payed for the community lunch. Mmm. It was around 10:30. The food was not yet served because it was too early. I saw a bunch of juniors, around 15, in the ABD, playing with the um, what do you call that wooden thingi? Others were just bumming around under the shade, talking, probably, gossiping (baang Gossip Girl HAHAHA).

After probably 10 minutes, the ABD was packed with Juniors. From afar, we would probably look like we had a batch meeting or something. haha. Nobody told us to go there. It was just sort of an instinct since the others were there anyways. Since the gym's under construction, it's the only place we could all fit and just bum around.

I called for a batch picture which turned out to be batch pictures. haha. XD We kept on calling for our other batchmates who were innocently passing by the ABD to come to the new gazebo. :)) Aw. I wonder when we'll get another batch pic. :)

Isa lang yan sa napakaraming batch pics natin. Click HERE for more pics. hehe. :D

Some people insisted on playing a game. Patintero, Mcdo-Mcdo, Anak-Anakay. All of a sudden, we were playing anak-anakay, probably our very first batch game. A lot of people screamed "Lithium ang taya! Lithium ang taya!" but it was those who were not wearing the batch shirt who ended up as the "taya". That was fun. :)) Chaaarge! haha. It was also probably fun watching us from afar, running and screaming. =)) After anak-anakay, we changed the game to Mcdo-Mcdo. Boys VS Girls and one section VS 2 sections. There was suppose to be a round wherein it was Lithium VS SoCium (Sodium & Calcium). SoCium as the "taya". :)) It was unfair man daw so we didn't continue on with that one. Hmm. That would have been fun :))

After around 5 rounds of Mcdo-Mcdo, somehow we all left the ABD to go to the gym to eat. We were like in a parade. :)) Again, it was sort of an instinct to leave altogether to the gym. =)

Before the food was served, Ma'am Algarbes called for 3 representatives per batch. We were going to have a Rubix' Cube contest. :)) An obvious sign that the Rubix' Cube is a craze in Pisay. :P

Our reps were Vigo, Hannah and Reniel. =)

VIGO! VIGO! VIGO!
GO, HANNAH! GO, HANNAH GO! GO, HANNAH! GO, HANNAH GO!
GO RENIEL! GO RENIEL!

Hannah finished first. Then, her sister in the 4th year. Then, a freshie. WE WON! OH YEAH! HAHAHA. Just so you know, our batch started the craze. :))

After that was the community lunch. After the community lunch, the Juniors went back to the ABD again. Like earlier this day, we just bummed around waiting for the clock to strike 2:30. Some people played Truth or Dare *ehem*. Others preferred to just talk about stuff. A few played with the wooden thingis.

So that was basically how my day went. :) Aw. Foundation Day Celebration just ended. :(

I'm not really sure which day's better. The first day or this one. hehe. Yesterday was really fun. Today, I'm pretty much sure everyone felt the batch unity that we needed. =) And that's probably the main reason why I felt like today we had our intrams. The last time I felt that batch unity was our 2nd year intrams. Oh, it feels good to have it back. =)

To Amiel and Darlene, YOU MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF THINGS. Tsk. Tsk.

Party tomorrow @ Mergrande, Juniors! Whoo! Even though it's Che's birthday party, it feels a lot like a batch party or more specifically, a victory party. *wink* Yeah, we didn't get 1st place, but it beats 3rd or 4th! XP *cheers to that*

PARTY OF THE YEAR, CHE! :))

I'll be posting pics later. hehe. :D Btw, I'm going to Che's party! Yay! I thought that I couldn't come because I'm going to GenSan. Aw. :( But thankfully, my sister agreed to leave Davao at 12 so I can stay till 11:30! WEEE!!!

Ohyeah, Pisay the Movie will be premiering in SM sometime this year. YAY! haha. Bad side? Php500 per ticket. Wtf? We're not rich! =( Damn it.

Like what happened for the past 3 days this , I to charge the battery of my phone so I was left with hoping that our maids would me up at 6 M. Thank God they did. *whew* I don't wanna be late on Foundation Day :))

While passing by the gates in Pisay, I saw Mary, Fatima, Grace and Mariel. They were the blue Foundation Day shirts. *sigh* Oh, I wish I ordered one. Maybe next year? Mental note to self: Buy Pisay Foudation Day shirts next year. =| But you know what? I should have really bought one this year because it's Pisay's 20th Foundation Day. =)) Wouldn't it make more sense if I bought one this year? *sigh* Stupid move.

Anyways, I thought that one of them left something behind and they were just going to get it from the guard. I stayed behind with them, the good friend that I am. :)) Or maybe, I just hated walking alone. Walking alone gives me that feeing that someone's watching me, PBB style. :))
Turns out, that "something" that they left behind was Mary's flat screen 32" Sony Bravia TV. Oh yes, she brought a TV to school. 0.o The TV was for the karaoke in our booth. XD I helped carry the TV. Duh. That TV weighed 22 kilos. =| We took turns in carrying it from the guard house to the ABD. :)) The boys saw us when we were somewhere near the Girl's dorm so they carried it for us. Would have been nice if you carried it from the guard house.

FYI, we only used that thing that we used in the picture above up to the Admin. XD So yeah, we carried it with our hands to the ABD. :))

Our booth was placed directly under the sun which by the way, sucks so much. =| Before heading to the gym, we prepared some of the stuff like the mini plastic swimming pool, and the tent for the karaoke.

At around 8 AM, we transferred to the gym for the Ecumenical Mass. A priest, a pastor (SIR LOTERO!) and an imam were present. According to Hannah & Macey, the imam used to be a prostitute. Er. I don't remember him saying that. :)) Stupid bad memory.

I noticed that the gym's almost done. :D Well, it should be! It's suppose

to be open on August!

I miss the gym! :( The ABD, quad, parking lot and canteen are just too damn boring for me. I want the court, the bleachers, and the CAT field! :((

Oh yeah, another proof of my super amazing memory is when I forgot to buy canned goods to offer in the mass.

After the mass, Hannah and I thought that it was time for the booth fair so we changed our blouses. After buying some snacks in the canteen, all of the people in the ABD were gone.

Speaking of the canteen, sizzling's baaack! Okay, now, I only have one thing to hate about the current canteen. And that's their sucky system in getting the orders/money of their buyers. Anyways, according to Ma'am Musa, we're still suppose to be in uniform. Darn it. We changed our shirts again. =|

In the gym, the "program" was just all about Pisay's donation to other schools. Boooring. Good thing it didn't last long! Whoo!

After that was the open house. Yeaay! I wanna see their rooms already! =| I went to both dorms. XD Special thanks to the dormers who made us feel welcome with all the signs on the door and the free candy! :)

@ Tame, Gella, and Barbie's room. :) I took their test posted on their door and guess what? I'm Gella! :))

@ Gill, Winona, Kestle and Nikki's room. :) This is where I discovered that those who sleep on the 2nd floor of the bunk bed are prone to falling off their bed. :)) There are no rails on the sides of their bed. 0.o

@ Jay, Katya and Abby's room. :) This is where I got free candy! Whoo!

@ Ritz and Tata's room. :) I also got free candy here! Oh yeah!

@ Ian G's room. Ohmygosh, we're in the room of the most popular freshie evaah! XD And we got to sit on his bed!!! ahahahahaha.

@ Michael & Edsel's room. :) I really wanted to go inside their room :))

After visiting both dorms, it was time to start the booth fair! Ohyeah! XD I didn't expect our water balloon and karaoke stations to be so in demand! :)) We owe a lot to Shi-M. He was everyone's favorite target. *wink* Our water balloons were "fake" and a scam according to some. :)) Why? Because they refused to pop. =)) The other favorites were Ching and Jihad. XD

Oh, the fun of hitting other people with water balloons

Yes, Shi-M's pictures are in GIF format. I wanted to show all of them but that would consume so much of my time in uploading. :))

Of course, a booth fair would be nothing without the love knots. =))

Nyka-Jesmar. The "Bella-Edward" of Pisay. :)) See, Nyks? Edward does exist, in Jesmar. :))

SM-Liane. SM, you are lucky this year your mom's not around to witness this. :))

JVC-Caithline.

*holding my camera*
"Nakita mo si JVC?"-me
"Look for a gray shirt"-Chuck
*looks around*
"and a smiling boy"-Chuck
=))

KimP-Chino-Ate Apple. Sorry, I dont remember the name of the other boy holding KimP's hand. :))

Patrick-KimP-Jezreel-Ching. Wtf happened to Ate Apple and Chino, Kim?? hahaha.

How can I forget the almight jail room? Good thing, I was never jailed. Mwahahaha!

Aside from the water balloon, our karaoke station was also a big hit! Whoo! Thanks to Mary for bringing the TV and the tent. She's rich like that. :P

After awhile, the booth fair kind of frustrated me. The heat of the sun + nothing to do + noise & dirt in the ABD=bad mood. After like an hour, I got frustrated. When will this booth fair ever end?? Ugh.

Two hours after, Per and I went to 3-Sodium's classroom to bum around. He was going to sleep. I was going to read The Third Summer of the Sisterhood. XD For some reason, I've been reading Brashare's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book. >_< hehe. :) My favorite character's Lena, btw. ;) Anyways, sitting down didn't do me any good so I stood up and went to our dog.

I played with Nemo a bit. He's the fluffy small dog. :) After a few minutes, people started to crowd Nemo. I didn't mind though. haha. Go and be fascinated.

It was kind of weird that the K-9 handlers recognized me even though I don't remember most of them. :)) I only recognized our dog's trainer/handler, Kuya Donaire, the cute 10-year old boy, Coby, Enzo's dad, Mr. Matilac and the fat guy wearing sunglasses. My conversation with them basically went like this:

"Ikaw yung anak ni Tito diba?"
"Um. Opo."
"Ah. Di pa siya pupunta ngaun?"
"Di na po ata kasi nasa GenSan siya"
"Aah"

Half an hour before the show started, one of them, the one wearing black with yellow strips (btw, I didn't even recognize him at that time haha), approached me to ask me if I'm familiar with Mondio Ring. Duh. Of course, I am. I'd be a complete idiot if I don't remember even just one thing about it because my dad's been taking me to Mondio Ring competitions since 2005. After that, he asked me to assist Mr. Matilac in commentating. Well, I guess, that wouldn't be much of a problem. I'd just say some stuff blah, blah. They gave me this paper that had a short description of the exercise that they were going to show. Because it was just short, I had to elaborate. That part sucked. :)) I'm awful at elaborating. :)) FYI, Mondio Ring is the biting exercise part of the show. hehe. Agility's the one where they used the obstacles in the field. Mondio Ring's more advanced, just so you know. :P

I checked the dogs. *ehem* Unlike others who clearly wanted to provoke them. FYI, I don't own all of the dogs there. =)) My dad's in a different K-9 club. They are Davao-based. My dad's Polomolok-based. The name of my dad's K-9 club is PHDX (Pinetown High Drive Xtreme). As of now, we own Chico (the first big dog who performed) and Nemo. Trivia: Nemo's name came from "Nemo" in Finding Nemo. The owner of that dog, in papers, is EJ, the 6-year old son of our dog trainer, Kuya Donaire. Since EJ's favorite movie is Finding Nemo, he named his dog "Nemo". :)) We used to own Ash (the 2nd big dog who performed) but we sold him a year ago. When I looked at that dog in the cage, I just knew it was him. The eyes, the legs, the body. I missed that dog. :( Although he's more scary-looking and bigger (well, he used to be. have no idea why he got thinner) than Chico, you could actually touch him and pet him. He was our champion dog, for Pete's sake but dad sold him. I forgot why. I'm glad I saw him again. :D I was only expecting Chico but he came and so did, Nemo. =)

When the program started, I just sat there and talked through the mic. I'm probably the worst commentator ever but who cares? haha. Truth be told, I didn't know that my dad was the founder of the organization that Mr. Matilac mentioned and um, that Chico was 0.1 m away from beating the world record for high jump. I know that he was really good in high jump but I didn't know he was that good. :))

After the dog show, we played around with the obstacles and we dared JB to go through the tunnel. :)) TUNNEL! TUNNEL! TUNNEL!

So that's how I spent Pisay's 20th Foundation Day. :] I spent Php200 just for this day. Ohmy. I'm broke, clearly. At least, I have my "I LOVE JEZREEL" button. Oh yes, I bought that. :)) Another one of my ID cord burloloys! :))

This blog took me 3 hours to make because of all the photo uploads and typing. Btw, I'm still going to upload pictures on an album sometime this night. ;) MORE PICTURES. :) Obviously, I can't upload them in this blog because that would be so tiring. haha.

Just a reminder to all Juniors: Wear your batch shirt tomorrow. Please and thank you. =) Hopefully, nakarating sa lahat na iwear bukas ang batch shirt. hehe. >_<
Goodluck to the Oasiwas dancers and Maxine, our representative for Kundiman! hehe.

GO PHOENIX! XD

Amiel and Darlene, you missed out on a lot of fun things! :P Dar! I already miss you!

xoxo,

*ehem*After weeks of completely abandoning my Blogger account, here I am, blogging in the not-so-familiar "Create Post" box. >_< style="font-style: italic;">really made an effort in posting in both blogs and not to cross-post but school just started so I really had no choice but to let go of one of them. I chose to let go of my Blogspot blog because I consider my Multiply blog more important.

If I'm so busy, why did I return? Well, our class' Blogspot blog is f-locked so I need to log-in to Blogger everytime I check for new powerpoints. Because of that, I better start updating my account, right? You know, for it to have a purpose other than checking our class' blog. :P

I think I'd be cross-posting some blog posts just so this blog would be active. hehe. ;] I put so much effort in the HTML codes and designing the layout. :D But I don't want this blog to be a carbon copy of my other blog so not all of my posts in my other blog would appear here and vice-versa.

I already started linking other blogs. :) Hope you don't mind :)) For those who linked my old, inactive, kindly update the links. >_< style="font-style: italic;">So that's why..

That picture in the beginning of this post is the original background of this layout. Er. Just wanted to say that. :P

Oh yeah, before I forget, the other reason why I suddenly made my account active is because today, June 9, 2008, I celebrate my 2nd year anniversary in Multiply. *cheers* I guess, you could call it also my 2nd year anniversary in the blogosphere. hehe. >_<

I won't make this blog too long for I need to post on my other blog. :]
