(no subject)
It's been a long week. Super.
1.) Exam results
Wah! All I can say is that I'm contented with my scores but I think I could've done better. Most of my mistakes were because of my carelessness. :(
2.) Songfest
So we didn't win but we're still happy 'cause we enjoyed performing and we got 4th place! The other rooms' songs were quite depressing. They're all about war and misunderstanding while ours was the only lively one giving praise and thanks to the Lord. Yeah!
3.) ASEAN Summit thingy
I'm not a part of the summit of course! Me and the other violinists just presented an ensemble for the diplomats who are part of the upcoming ASEAN Summit. They came to our school and so various clubs and organizations in St. Paul presented to them. I think ours was the most boring presentation. The others had really cool dances and songs while ours were just squeaky violins playing "planting rice" and "bahay kubo" at the same time. Geez.
4.) Retreat
Oh my gosh. It wasn't even a retreat. I think it was an overnight yoga class! Seriously! We always had to meditate and concentrate on our breathing before each session. We had to close our eyes, put our hands on our lap, and our feet flat on the ground. How uncomfortable is that? Well for me it is especially when we had to do this for 10-15 minutes. We even had this one activity where we had to do the same thing but for I think over an hour while the speaker would say things like "Imagine that you are on a beach and then a man slowly appears and then suddenly you realize it's your father blah blah blah..." But other than the meditation, the retreat was all about yourself and your family. The retreat made me grateful and happy to have a kind of family that stays together all the time.
During breaks and siesta time, me and my classmates did all sorts of crazy stuff. They made me do the Ms. Baccay voice! Haha! Super tawang-tawa sila. I wasn't able to do it all the time, though, because I got sick and sipon. :(
