A Family Affair

One of the most awaited event in the whole campus- the Family Day. This is the day wherein the whole family gather and enjoy the activities awaiting. First,a mass was held lead by a priest from the Cenacle. The singing of the praise songs was lead by the Glee Club's master which is Ms. Catherine Rodel together with the club's members.


After the mass, a field demonstration was held. The faculty gave us a thirty-minute break to prepare for our dances. We, the second years are assigned to dance the “Japanese Parasol Dance”. After we prepared, from costumes to props, we then stepped on the open court to get ready to groove but when the song started, it sounds like a mess so we also danced like mentally retarded people so we have to stop and request the operator to play it again. It was so embarrassing! The people were laughing but I said ti myself, “ Just enjoy the show and go with the flow.” I shared this thought to my batch mates and they followed what I said so we happily danced and danced until we are through.


After we danced, we laughed and laughed. We then went to our respective classrooms to change our clothes. Then, the people are now ready to watch our exhibits from the Science Week Celebration. The “Science Fair” wherein the students showed their investigative projects, The Open House” in the Home Technology Room wherein the students showed their creativity in making designs, house tools, decoration and many more.


But the parents did not know that we have an affair of our own- The Football Challenge. We went to the open field beside the Arts and Science Building known as the A.S Building. Sophomores, our team versus the Freshmen. We enjoyed the game but our team lost. Well, there are more chances await for us so we are not disappointed.


After the game, we ate our lunch together with other year levels. We ate a sumptuous meal with Buttered Fried Chicken, Chicken Fillet, Lumpia Shanghai, Lechon Baboy and most especially, the Fresh Fruits. We ate and ate until we are full.


We then had the games. First is the game wherein the players must wear the clothes situated on the chairs one by one. I played with the others and enjoyed it and the people kept on laughing because of the big clothes. We won!

Many games followed. After the games, the most awaited part of the affair started- the Raffle Draw wherein they were giving lots of lots of prizes. Consolation Prizes worth a Hundred Pesos plus a half gallon of Ice Cream, a Third Prize worth Seven Hundred Pesos, a Second Prize worth Five Hundred Pesos and the First Prize worth a Thousand Pesos. Who would not long for it?

We really enjoyed the Family Day even if I did not win in the Raffle Draw. Nevertheless, the food was good, the games, the exhibits were worth seeing, the presentation and most especially, the fun and excitement. We cleaned the whole campus and after that, few of my classmates and I went to Fuente Osmeña Circle where a program was held. The “GAWAD KALINGA ISANG MILYONG BAYANI” and I am one of them. They are searching for a million people who are willing to help the poor people that lost their homes. I really enjoyed the program and I am glad to help these people. Good Day!
