I'm going to join the bandwagon and rant about the humanities week. :))
Because I had too much fun downloading applications on my iPod which just got a software upgrade (iPhone 2.0.2) thanks to my beloved soul mate Damian, I slept at three AM and woke up at 7:45 this morning. I took my time getting ready, and arrived in school at around 9. Since I didn't want to wear my huge orange shirt, I came to school in my "Mr. Mahiyain" shirt which was noticed by so many people probably because they agreed so much. When I arrived, everyone was at the field, exposed to the scorching heat of the sun. I did not get a very warm welcome because (a) everyone was pissed at the heat (b) I'm such a rebel. LOL. I find it so inhumane that the student body had to stay under the sun, while the faculty was seated comfortably in the grandstand. Some humanitarian way to celebrate humanities week, don't you think? After the opening ceremony was the pre-talent show where the aspirants advertised themselves to the student body. Watching made me realize how lucky Andie and I are for being able to back out. Elections (or anything that involves voting for that matter) are very traumatizing in Pisay. Anyway, the performers were very entertaining to watch. Watching that pre-telent show was like watching American Idol auditions. Most were horrifying (I won't mention which na. We all know who they were. ) The band that had no vocals (the one that played the oldschool song) was pretty good. And Isabel Serrano was just fantastic. She sang while playing the keyboad ala David Archuleta and Brooke White. In fact, she was so good that I'm going to use this opportunity to do some shameless plugging.
VOTE FOR ISABEL SERRANO. :D
Moving on...

After the pre-talent show, they gave as a "break". Then, we had the games. I didn't play anything because (a) I wasn't in orange (b) Damian, Anton, et al. were really into the games that we just let them play everything. The only thing I remember about this time of the day was when I got my first taste of ultimate Strontium bullying. el Anton, MG, Castro, etc. grabbed both my legs, carried me and put me in a very very awkard pose wherein my crotch was just there for anyone to kick (or in Franco's case harass.) The experience was, err, one of a kind and pretty fun, if you ask me. The only part that was not so enjoyable was Franco's attempted rape. =))
Next was essay-writing. (YEY. Sampa friends reunion.) The topic was: "How do conflicts among batches hinder school unity? How can these be resolved? " If you know me at all, you could immediately conclude that I am not the person who should be answering a question like that. Srsly.
After school, Arriele, Sam, Cam, Gaby, Elvis, TJ, Joaq, Joe and I left Pisay to go to the PETA Theatre for the PSHS Alumni Show's TDR. We were to be ushers and production assistants. All 8 of us (9 including the driver) rode in Joaq's car which was meant for only 5 people. So we could fit, Arriele had to sit on my lap, Cam on Sam's and Gaby on Joe's. TJ just sad there squished and Elvis laid with the bags at the back. LOL. Some anecdotes:
Wooow. This is my longest post to date. Achievement!
P.S. Dikum is currently on top of my "to worry about" list. GRRR.
P.P.S. I'm part of the ACLE Task Force. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

- The car ride was very very surprising.
- Sam was assigned to be food girl and had to order foor for 40 people. She was also made to do errands and order some more. In short, Sam was the Alumni's bitch. =))
- Joaq and Joe battled it out for Sam's love. Joaq is leading as of now because baldness runs in Joe's family.
- There was free mediocre porn. :| :| :| =)) =)) =))
- As I watched the alumni interact, I suddenly wondered -- When we have a reunion 20 years from now, will we still be divided or will we just be happy to see each other? Will we have intrabatch marriages (like Joe's parents)? Who will perform? How will MG look like then? =))
