unfortunate
it's been what? 5 days?
anyways, now i've finally found time to blog(yay!). i've been totally busy for the past week. so, to let you in on some of the things i've been busy with, i would like to present to you...
a series of very unfortunate events
things from the foundation week
event 1:game,set,match, and lost...
i really, really like playing volleyball. everybody in school knows that. and i've sorta established a name for myself, thank you very much(humble grin).
well, the last game i've played in didn't really turned out so good...well, to tell you the truth, it went totally abysmal.
the game.
we were to have 4 games in all. as calculated, we won the first three games. and the deciding and final match we have to play was one with a team that also had winning streaks, not to mention a superb setter and spiker. pero i was quite cool with it, kasi 4 naman ung varsity players sa team nmin.
set 1.
we had to play on the court that was facing the sun, so medyo mhirap. pero we won the set nman, nevertheless, with the help of everybody, and my ace spike services(hehehe..pero it's true). i got about 8 points on that set, just with my services.(^-^)/ change court!
set 2.
i would love to be mvp, and i know i was in the running for the position(or so they say). enter our captainball. you know what she did? she didn't let me in the start of the set! here's my theory: she doesn't want me to be the mvp, wanted to get the award to herself. couildn't blame her for that...
so there was our team, slowly losing to our foe. in the end she had to let me in, pero it was too late na. the other team was leading by 6 points and was just 6 points from winning. i did what i can, pero all i could manage was to cut the lead by half. set lost.
final set.
tragic. that would probably best describe this game. mga bakaw, mga errors, yun siguro ang ngpatalo samin. we lost, with the winning team having a lead of 11 points!!! aaargghh!!
after that, i went back to my refereeing duties(i refereed most of the games). at least something good came out of this, i got to have more friends from all the year levels. it's quite good to hear a 'hi kuya angelo' here and there.(^-^)/
event 2:go seniors!!..?
you know the c.a.t practices i've been rambling about? well, we performed it na. we were quite happy with the performance, the privates did better in the actual act than in the practice sessions. good for us...
here's the catch. you see, when we were still juniors, we kinda made pa-uso in our school the kind of cheering you would see in a cheerdance competition. well, this years juniors literally copied that 'patented' style, from the moves and even to the positioning. to make things worst, the juniors won it.
kakainis, ung mga practice pra sa field demo na 'to...pero ok lng. prang they won na rin beacause of us. sbi nga nila quote'imitation is the highest way of showing flattery'. en quote.
event 3: party-pooper
it was supposed to be a valentine's party. you know, fun, food, mushy music, slow dance, mushy people. get the picture? well, our prefect of discipline(p.o.d) thought otherwise. he put a stop into our 'romantic' mood by saying a little pep talk on stage... something about no slow dancing and no dancing with your likables...he sooooo misunderstood us.(*pout*)
i was excited that i would perform for the school again. nadine(my duet buddy) boji(guitar extra-ordinare) and i got our rendition of cruisin practiced. the harmony was good, the timing was impeccable... i helped the student council with the party. nag-effort ako.. but here comes mr. hey-you-stop-being-happy-because-we're-still-in-school-and-there-still-are-rules-an-i'm-the-p.o.d! yadah yadah. aaarrgghh!!!
a total mess. the party was a total mess. the students were expecting to have fun, they were not ready to take yet another boring spirit-killing speech from our beloved p.o.d. so they all went home without even waiting for the council to dismiss them. and there we i was, holding the massive cooler on one hand, and the lights stand on the other. ung porma ko sira na. badtrip.
so there you have it, my series of unfortunate events. all happened back to back to back.
asar!
