UP

Yesterday, we went to UP, the University of the Philippines!
(Jeanie, Bona, Roy, John, and I along with Ms. Cathy and Ms. Rezeile) :)


We attended the first Econ Leadership Summit!
Well, it was cool! And it's my first time to go to UP too. :D
It was a program that started from 8AM to 5:30PM! 
But there were a lot of videos, activities, and the oratorical contest.
They showed us videos that showed how we relate Economics to real life. 
(It was funny cause it was in Tagalog so Bona and I became translators for the sake of Rony, Jeanie, and John.) lol :P
There was also a looong speech about the MDGs or the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations and its current status and progress in the Philippines. It was.. um... enlightening?.. instructive?... b*r**g?  ahem.. ha ha ha! ,,

Well during her speech, we passed notes to each other talking about random stuff like:


Bona: "The girl behind us is practicing for the oratorical contest.."
Jeanie: "Is she good? What's her topic?"
Monica: "Wait.. (listens) I can't understand anything! She says... pshk.. fschii... "
Bona: Anyway, just do your best Jeanie!
Monica: You can do it!
Jeanie: I'll surely do my best...
M&B: Yeah! Go Jeanie... (words of encouragement and praises)
John: What the heck? What is that f****** girl at the front saying! I can't understand anything. s***! blah blah blah (you can pretty much figure out what he's saying ryt? lol)
Rony: So hungry! Gutom na ako!
Monica: Me too!
Bona: My stomach is rumbling...
Rony gets up and goes to cr. When he came back...
Rony: There's food outside! And drinks!
Monica: Yey! (Everyone's happy :P)
.

Girl at front stops speaking...
(Everyone claps loudly! YEY!!!)


Then we ate lunch! Everyone said the rice is not enough. T-T LOL
Anyway, Jeanie practiced and prepared for the oratorical contest....


Until it came...
And Jeanie picked 1 so she's the first speaker...
And it started.... 
I say she did great! She didn't stop or forget her lines and I think it was good! She looked confident enough and you know, I think standing there was no easy feat. 
(If I stood on that auditorium with that audience, I think I would have had a heart attack! LOL)


The 2nd speaker forgot his lines, so was the 4th(I think) and 6th! (Wow! We're looking goood!)
And some of them had FAKE BRITISH Accents! Seriously! (Hahahahaha!!!!)
On the first round, I think Jeanie was the best, but we had to go to a seminar while the second round continues so we weren't able to watch.... And T. Rezeile told us that some of them were really good like pros!
Anyway, even though Jeanie didn't win, I still think she did great! CONGRATS JEANIE! 
We're so proud of you girl! :)


But aside from that I really learned a lot especially from the speakers, they were good and sooo funny! I learned more about Public Speaking and Leadership. :D
Then there was this intermission number which Rony and John really loved! LOL
They liked the gay and the belly bottom girl so much! HAHAHA! (Just ask them ;P)


I realized the world is really small! You know I met my old classmates there! It was like about four years ago, since Grade 6! Wow! I feel oh-so-old! Ha ha! :P


And I'm also excited about college... like there are a lot of student orgs and activities and the campus is so big! Wow! But they say we were all gonna miss our high school days! So I guess I'll just enjoy being a highschooler huh? I've got two more years to go! XD


And it ended! Picture taking and certificate giving and a... commemorative CD???! XD


Then we went back to school! (Took us forever.....) 
And I reached home at 8pm and I was starving! Hahaha! :D


And that was what I did YESTERDAY! :)


Today, you can guess what I did all day: surfing the net and BLOGGING!
XD
