7:47 PM | Friday, February 15, 2008
this week was so busy, tiring and fun! we had the Synergy Week wherein each subject area must come up with activities for us, students for the entire week. :D
MONDAY - feb 11, 2008
it was the opening of the Synergy Week. we had the
Parade of Love Pairs during the assembly. it showcased popular love pairs like, Ariel&Prince Eric, Beauty&the Beast, Poccahontas&JohnSmith, Spiderman&MJ, Mulan&Shang, Naruto&Sakura, Boaz&Ruth, Malakas at Maganda, Florante at Laura, Rama&Sita, Romeo&Juliet, Cupid&Psyche, and last but not the least, Cleopatra&Mark Antony. i loooove Cleopatra! ^___^ isn't she a beauty? :D
in the afternoon, we had a film viewing care of the Filipino area wherein we watched an awarded indie film,
"Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong (The Road to Kalimugtong)" by Mes de Guzman. it was about two Benguet children who climbs hills & cross rivers just to reach their school. it was a really good film and it also had some humor in some parts. haha, the film popularized 'saYOte', 'El Shaddai! El Shaddai!', 'Pangako Sa'yo!' in our classroom :P

we had
Ars Poetica wherein we listen to poems being recited by readers. the theme of the poems was love. aww. there was even this poem to a wife&husband read by Mdm Anne (Guidance Counselor) and her husband which touched most of the listeners. awww :">
WEDNESDAY - feb 13, 2008it was the day for the
Science Congress which was the contribution of the Science area in the Synergy Week. in the congress, the top 5 Invistegatory Projects from a grade level are being presented and judged by the invited judges. Eli&Tisha (Endurance) won 2nd place! kudos to you, loves. :D

THURSDAY - feb 14, 2008 ; HAPPY HEART'S DAY
Happy Heart's Day everyone! Happy Single Awareness Day, KarenRos. haha
this was the most awaited day, the day of the Variety Show. judging by last year, the Variety Show was the highlight of the Synergy Week for the students. especially to us, the participants. in the Variety Show, we had speech choirs (The Congo, Tarantella), dance presentations (aerobic-thinggy, waltz, hiphop ballet), contests (situational acting, extemporaneous speaking) and plays (The Canterbury Tales - The Pardoner's Tale, Inferno)
we had three shows.
8:00-9:30 - 1st show for grades1-3
10:00-11:30 - 2nd show for grades 4-6
1:00-2:30 - 3rd show for grades 7-10
we basically had no classes for the entire day. It was tiring but super fun.
i was part of two presentations on the show. The Congo (with Endurance) and the Pardoner's Tale, in which I was assigned in the music w/ Lea & Heather. being the music crew, we were given the rights to go upstage (lol) and be with the other crew members for the music and lights. yea, all the techie stuff. we were on the balcony over looking the stage and after our turn, we were free to enjoy the unoccupied balcony watching all the 3 shows while the other participants were just waiting in the CPA. haha. oh yes, the benefits. :P it was really fun working with all the crew people and Sir Eddie.
we really did put up one heck of a good show. and it was fun facing the kids (grade 1-3) in costume since they would want to touch you and feel you. lol. fame for a day. but it was really fun :D
FRIDAY - feb 15, 2008
we baked cookies in the morning! Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies for THE. haha
we had Brainworks in the afternoon. this was the contribution of the Social Studies and Math area. unfortunately, i was on of the participants. i was in the Einstein group with Caryl Arciete (grd9), Carmela Tamayo and Trisha Teves (grd10). it was nerve wrecking as i was sitting on the front row of the audi waiting to be called but when we were up on stage on our cute lil table, all the nervousness went away. yea. odd, but yea. haha. the Brainworks was really fun. haha. most of the questions, we, the juniors, either could not relate or could not remember. lol. good thing our senoir team mates were good @ math. haha. we earned 500 points (we actually only answered 2 questions throughout the game, 100pt Q & 400pt Q) and we were second place. haha. unbelievable. :P
we had an encore performance of the variety show for the parents afterwards. only this time, the plays&contests got cut since they were too long and they said, only those with an educational background could understand the plays. if they don't know Chaucer, they woun't give a damn. haha. but we still presented The Congo :) my father & sister watched the show and since there was also an encore of the Parade of Love Pairs, my sister looved Mulan and Naruto only that she kept saying that Naruto's hair was not the same. the kid portraying Naruto only had like yellow strikes on his hair, unlike the original Naruto who really had yellow hair. but the thing i can't understand was my sister was looking for Marimar and Sergio. hahaha. =P
