It was a great year for us Educados and Educadas!
Let me tell you a story of how we broke barriers, how we had our crown and how we made others keep their selves in silence.... ^_^
DAY1(January 18, 2010) -
At the Pavillion: "Festive Praise" - this was the title of the Cultural show which the CPAC Fanmily had prepared for us to witness. My classmate Crispin (who happens to be a very good and graceful dancer) was a part of it. But sad to say we have to meet at the Pavillion since we are preparing for the Musical Dance Shoowdown. We were able to hear the harmonic voice of the chorale and the energetic music and laughter of satisfied audience of the dance troupe We were actually envious of the viewers at the gym and we were given the chance to stay there for a while but we didn't get the chance for they might not let us get out unless we finish the show.. - and so we still went on with our practice.
DAY2(January19,2010) - My bestfriend Juliemar who is a part of the dance troupe told me that there is a second chance for those who weren't able to catch the show of day1 but we still went on with our practice...
Why do we need to have intensive practice? Because we are the defending champion in the Retro Dance category and we must sustain the glory of having this title.... Just this afternoon, a group of students irritated our group because they wanted to use the comfort room in our "base camp" and they came from another department. What we did is that we hid our props under a black cloth... Nice try for them...
DAY3(January 23,2010)All the SASTEans were gathered in a place. It's good that the BEEd students prepared food to satisfy the growling stomachs of those who weren't able to eat their breakfast just for them not to miss any eye-catching scene of the UniFest. We stayed long at the FLC Building and before we went to the Pavilion, I made sure that the balloons for the Debate and Musical Dance Showdown are prepared. Day 3 made as all weak, I feel like I'm going to get sick but I hardened myself and did everything just to let my stamina work good. Good thing I was able to cross this day without fainting. We had enough time to rest because our co-dancers happen to be a part of the Volleyball Women division and while they were playing we had time to fix our props, chat and of course rest! Late at night when everyone's out, we silently had a short rehearsal and briefing at the Student Center. Who would ever notice that we are the contestants? haha!
DAY4(January 24,2010) - Today is Sunday, a day after a long week for us to be with the Lord in his banquet. This morning I went to Cathedral to hear mass. I prayed hard and asked guidance from the Lord for the Literary-Aesthetic Relay and Musical Dance Showdown. While hearing mass, sudden rush of thought entered my mind on how to construct my poem for the contest. Good thing I had a good composure during the competition though I know my opponents are very competitive. At night, everybody's eager to watch the Musical-Dance Showdown and so we did our best just to entertatain the audience and bring back to them the life their yells are giving to us. Unfortunately, we lost the title and we are really disappointed with that. The winners for the Aesthetic Relay were announced and I'm so happy that I became the champion in the Poem Writing Contest and I still feel incomplete. But what is good with the contest is that we have learned the true spirit of sportsmanship and humility. 
DAY5(January 25,2010) - As I pass by my classmates, they were asking me "Bakit hindi kayo ang nanalo?" It feels painful that even others would not accept that we weren't hailed as champions. They knew that we are deserving enough to defend our title and I knew more than enough that in the eyes of others we are the winners. :)
DAY6(January 26,2010) - The awarding day! Everybody's eager to bring home the biggest plaque. I congratulate all the SASTE Students for bringing up a collaborative effort to hitch the title with honesty! Great job brothers and sisters! With the University Sportsfest, I have learned that it pays to be humble.
This is my ultimate UniFest experience! :)
