"A Family Day Invasion"

The sun didn’t come out yet from its long sleep. The place was still silent and the cold breeze air was noticeable. I woke very early in the morning to finalize the things I will bring and at the same time I prepared for the big celebration.

Before I went to school I bothered my grandmother in her sleep and I told her to follow me together with my family in school before the program will start. When I arrived, I saw my classmates with their respective families. But when I arrived the mass had started already. I then approached one of my classmates and asked her to where I could put my things. She told me to put them in our room. After I placed my things in the room and I went directly to the tent of section Bartlett.

When I was in the tent, the mass was still ongoing. Suddenly the mother of my classmate Janelle, told me to buy something outside and then I asked Janelle and Jeny-vi to go with me to buy such thing. After we bought the thing, the mass was going to end thus we went back to school immediately and prepare for the next activity. Our field demonstration was next. It was entitled “Lapay Bantigue”. It was performed by the first year students and second year boys and one of them was me. I danced well and so with the other performers as if we’re seagulls dancing in the shore and it’s true our dance was all about portraying the moves of seagulls then it was very successful.

The presentation was already done but then the program was not yet finished. After our presentation and so with the other fear level’s presentation the flow of the celebration continued. The emcee or the host of the program prepared some games for u sand of our family. When the first game was told and discussed I volunteered myself to join and with my classmates representing the freshmen’s team but unfortunately we didn’t win. In the next game it’s more interesting and more fun than to the previous one. The game was entitled “Sack Race” and I joined in the game also, with the same team and aim. The game was exciting and finally we won as the third place.

After some fun in such games, we were now ready to eat. I ate with my family, have some talks with them and at the same time play together with my family. Then after I eat, I went to Home-Tech room and watched the exhibits there because it was also the “open house” of U.P. I saw our projects there specifically my projects were placed. I roamed around and find the exhibit amazing because some arts were placed there were very fabulous and fantastic. After I watched the exhibits I went to the soccer field and watched the game of freshmen and sophomore players and luckily our team won in the round.

It was already quite late in the afternoon but then the celebration was not yet about to end. The most awaited part and the most important menu of the program have just started. The announcing of the lucky winners of the raffle draw became the center of attraction of all but unluckily I didn’t win and so with my family. Even though our names were not picked but then our experienced here in U.P in just a short span of time was more than a prize, an unforgettable experience.
