I was greeted by the sun as I woke up Saturday morning. My phone read 11 messages, 2 missed calls, and most importantly, 8:55 AM. And that's when I panicked to the highest level. The concert show by our university choir (USC Choristers) would start in one and a half hour, and considering my residence location, I knew at that moment that I might show up really really late. And, all thanks to adrenaline rush, I took a quick and brief shower, changed into my NSTP uniform (since we'd have NSTP class after), ate two loafs of bread and headed out.
Thank goodness luck was on my side. No traffic problems encountered :3 I arrived at the south campus of our university and proceeded to Rudolph Rahmann Cultural Center, the venue of the event, where my group of friends (Esprens. Haha a "lazy" term for bestfriends) was waiting for me. We went inside together and even sat in the same row. Then, the show started at about 10:30 AM.
I say, I was truly jealous with their marvelous voices. Not jealous. ENVIOUS. Why wasn't I given such taleeeeeent? :( But anyway, we must be grateful of what we have, right? :) They performed sacred songs, Filipino classics, English songs, and musicale scores. The whole performance left goosebumps on us as obvious marks on how jawdropping and heartbeat-stopping the concert was. And another hightlight of the event was The Show Violinist who can play the violin while walking running jumping you name it. Such talented people! :>

We (three of my friends and I) finished about 3/4 of the concert since we had to be back in the talamban campus (more than 6 kilometers away, I guess. Phew.) to get the goods for our NSTP activity. And, on our way out of the south campus, one of my friends had a really really bad stomach ache and had to vomit, like, three times? Of course, adrenaline rush came in and swear, we were like doctors and the jeepney served as the ambulance. In the end, I had to call my father to come and get us and send us to talamban campus since it would be too risky to ride the jeepney with a very very sick classmate under the heavy rain. Our friend was able to sleep in the duration of the trip, while the three of us were kidding around some of our classmates on the phone. Hahahaha!
We arrived in talamban campus, and in our department building, in no time. We had to run LITERALLY and headed to the resource room where all our goods were hidden. We had to pull four heavy cartons, containing packed goods, towards the entrance of the building. And, while doing so, we had to pick (draw by lots) who'd our manita/manito be for Christmas Party. And of course, the science and mathematics quiz bowl elimination round was on the go. And just before we finally bid goodbye and "see-you-later", I was able to greet my high school physics teacher, who was the coach for the CIC team in the quiz bowl.
We headed towards the NSTP activity venue. Talamban Sports Complex. We hosted a Kiddie Party for some kids. And after a few photos and sits and eating, we headed back to the department since we were "needed".
We indeed headed back. Now together with my Esprens ;) Two of them were using the steep hill towards the entrance while the rest of us used the Science building which was connected to our department. Of course, a marathon started. We really ran real hard and arrived at the same time and laughed out loud and had to be reprimanded by our org president. Hehe :3
We spent the rest of the time eating, watching Every Child is Special at room 316 with the rest of the teachers (only the students took the exam. And while taking it, the coaches were to watch a movie), selling raffle tickets (and I sold two to my physics teacher and her friend. Hehehe!), picture-taking, and the like. The day ended like the rest of the days that had passed. But it was a day well spent :)
