hep hep hooray!

i am feeling sore right now (for the first time i am paos!!!), but still, i want to make kwento (hehe!).. :-P

i don't want to spoil the moment by saying "the climax part" earlier right now, so here's a timeline:

7:00 am: flag ceremony began. emerrize (special mention!) finally bought the printed copies of our favorite songs: the mandarin ones! hehe..we love fahrenheit & s.h.e. (as well as hana kimi songs & the pag-ibig na kaya korean version!), so even though i'm having throat problems (sore throat..), we sang & sang until the mass.

8:00 am: mass time! i realized that i can't sing for the choir so i didn't join them (though i want to!). then truth hit me: our choir's kinda bikaka..you know, hindi pala kami pabilog kumanta. after hearing the truth (and nothing but the truth!), i suddenly blurted out to alyanna (special mention!), "so this is what our choir sounds like." well she just smiled..btw, she's my choirmate who had some illness too at that time.

9:00 to 11:00 am: inside our classroom, we tried the "dummies" that we're going to use for the karakol..they're pretty good! grabe..then by 11 am we were dismissed..

11:15 pm: before going back to school, i crammed everything in the house muna..wear jogging pants, find my rubber shoes, make-over, eat lunch, toothbrush..i looked haggard na nga daw eh..but still..before heading to school i powdered up so i look fresh..hmm! :-P

12: 20 pm afterwards: we (emenemz!) were made-up by each other..put green eyeliner, fix hair, put our costume..then after some snappies & a little prayer, we were off to the ground! go marymag! :-P

..while waiting for our turn, i suddenly felt sickly! i mean, they said my eyes were totally red, then i experienced head & eye aches..my sore throat..then i also have cough & colds! gosh..all at the same time! how's that for a student who's about to dance on the streets?! so i was lame before the actual competition..i slept in sidewalks. but when it started, i suddenly went hyper! i mean, i yelled with my classmates, & my energy seemed to increase. i was like that until awarding..

..oh btw! while dancing near the last judge, 3 girls from tirona talked to me..one asked first, "ate anong year niyo?" of coursed i answered (i don't want to be suplada!), "fourth year." then the other girl suddenly added, "ate ang ganda mo!" hey wait..baka iniisip niyo gawa-gawa ko lang 'to ah..it just so happens that i got a lot of compliments this year.. :-) so back to the story! while dancing, i thanked her..then the other girl said, "ate ang tangos ng ilong mo!" while doing the basic steps, i replied to her, "talaga? thanks!" then they cheered for me like, "ate galingan mo ah! mananalo kayo!" and they bid me bye bye as we pass by them. actually, i can't believed all the compliments i've been receiving this past few days. parang inulan ako ngayon! first sir camungol, then sir cadiz, then sir dave, then mazy's mom, then ate in the xerox machine, then those 3 girls! super thank you!!! i can't believe that i can be appreciated so much..with or without eyeglasses! :-)

^that's the dummiez..hehe..we owe a lot to them..and to the operatorz.. :-P^eMeNeMz compressed for a snappie! haha.. :-P^photo-op before the actual contest!^go marymag 08-09! :-P
^me..rachel..joicy :-P

..this is it! when we went back to the school, cathy gave me cheesecake & some water..then they offered us tetra-pack juices & more cupcakes (wow!) then cathy & i listened to the announcements of the winners for the senior division. even before the competition, i was slowly losing hope because honestly, the other section & year levels's costumes were good compared to us. then i thought our steps were ordinary..

..when they called IV- immaculate concepcion as the 2nd place for costume, i knew we were not going to make it. i was right. they named III-st. peter as the winner for the costume category. wanna see their suit? later! then we listened for the dancing category. IV-st. martha won the 2nd place (no doubt of it..their steps were good & marc really did a great job! hehe..congratz!) then when they announced the winner, "and the 1st place is, IV-st. mary magdalene!", i went super giddy!!! i shouted with my classmates & we were like, super hiyaw to the max!!! i forgot about my throat problem na nga eh..i still can't believe that we won first place! i thought we were going to make a history..that for the first time marymag doesn't win anything! but thank goodness that didn't happen..! we still made former emenemz proud.. ;-P

"always the winner, never the loser!" that's what i always write on my diary then..we i make kwento about the karakol for last 3 years..and since i don't have a diary anymore, dito na lang! haha..but this is the first & LAST time that i only won one category.. :-)

fyi: thanks to amica olaes (special mention!) for the karakol snappies! :-D
