Rfl Cstllo. Add some vowels to get my name right. I live somewhere in Manila but I study somewhere in the Cordillera. I used to blog everyday, but there's just a lot of other things that keeps me busy these days.
So our 97th Foundation Week officially started last Tuesday. With a Mass presided by Bishop San Diego of the Diocese of Pasig, Msgr. Gerardo O. Santos, and three more priests. And, an opening number by the Center for Performing Arts of our school and other whatnots. Well, I guess you get the picture anyway. An opening program for the fouding of a 97 year-old institution. Period.
Yesterday, we had our field demonstration. Wherein each section of the Grade School and the High School will dance in front of a audience composed of family members or family friends or probably strangers. No, just kidding. What will strangers do there anyway? So, moving on. Before the field demonstration started, we had a Mass with Monsignor first. It was Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, in which I was quite aware of. Thanks to the long list of schedule given to us. During Monsi's homily, a quote from him is what I cannot forget the most. "Failures are postponed successes". Therefore, to him, failures does not mean failure at all. That if you fail, you can still be successful. He even told us, that if a child fails, and even if that child does not graduate and repeat another year (or probably, a lot more years), he will still graduate. By miracle means, I guess. (LOL) Skipping most of the part of the mass, I was grateful to have met Monsi. Just even for four years that I have seen him in front during Masses or in front of his speeches, programs, etc., he have given me words that I cannot forget. That even if I never got a chance to talk to him one-on-one (in which that I am "afraid" to do so. XD), I still have this little feeling that we had a great bonding. He had done a lot for my school, and I am hoping that as I leave for college, he will still be doing a lot for what he has called "Little Acre of Grace".
Field Demonstration. I cannot tell anything about it. It was rather, what, boring? Not all of us were dancing lively. And I hate it. Although I was placed front to dance, I cannot move a lot. LOL. I guess I was bored and just danced whatever I can dance. Mom was there to make a video, but after the whole dance, it was then that she just found out that she didn't recorded the whole dance. Only two pictures of me were taken. (LOL) And I just said that it was okay, it was a dance anyway.
Free Day. Today, we had our section's free day. It was TIRING. Standing around ten minutes to ride in the Octopus (which I had done for like, four times) and looking for something to eat or drink. But it was fun. Had a chance to ride the Octopus again after two years (last one was back 2nd Year), but was sad for not being able to with my best friend who is now studying in another school. I just do hope that we'll be able to bond before graduation. She told me she came to my school today, but because I was tired and everything, I came home early. And now she's offline in Facebook and I cannot talk to her again, I am well, sad. I miss her! The last time I saw her was way back September 2009. And now, I don't know if I'll be seeing her again BEFORE March 26 or 25.
So, Foundation Week will end this Saturday. It's sad that this will be my last foundation week in PCC. For after four years, I'll be the one standing in that stage and get my diploma. That I will be leaving my Alma Mater for good and start college in a new school. But I do know that I will have a time to visit my Alma Mater again, or I just do hope so.
