Tiring but Fun...

This Sunday is one of those important days for me. We have been preparing for this day to come since last week. We had been continuously practicing for this big event. Every year, our town is celebrating Maragondon Day. I have only attended this a couple of times and just watch out for the special events, but i had never imagined that today, I will be able to participate in the program.

You see, our choir was asked to sing for the doxology at this said event. We had been practicing one song since early in the morning. The program will start at 7 o' clock so we decided to meet up at 6:00 am in the church for vocalizations and one last practice. After that, we decided to go and just meet backstage together.

When we reached bayan, we hurriedly went backstage and saw all of them waiting. After we had been introduced, we went onstage and started singing. We sang the song "You are the Light". It was nerve-wracking as usual, whenever I see a lot of people staring at me and watching me. During the song, all eyes are on us, so after singing, I was relieved being able to do all I can.

Then next is the national anthem, which was led by the band. After singing another hymn, we went down and prayed and said our thanks to God. We had our photos taken as a remembrance for this day, the start of our stardom...hehehe. Even though it sounds simple, for me, it is something worth treasuring.

Later on, we had breakfast together and decided to watch the street dancing when we're done. Then, we looked for a good spot and waited there. One by one, the dancers from each school arrived. You can see that it was well prepared by just looking at their cute, native and colorful costumes.

Even the elementary students are good in dancing. Makes me jealous of not having talent for dancing(hehehe). After them, next is our school. I was cheering and shouting. I wanted to encourage them and give them my full support. I even saw my other classmates in the parade. Then after that, I met up with my groupmates and bought materials for our project in arts.

I went to Jen's house and we did our project together. We were using my iPod while doing the design on the bottle. I am the artist while jen is my worker. Well, she is the one who came up with the idea and did most of the work, while I'm the one who sketched the design and gave my ideas on the color and helped as well.

We were a good pair.I had lunch with her since we were not able to finish at once. After eating, we went back to work. At about past 3 o' clock, I said my good bye and went home. It sure was a tiring but fun day.
