REFLECTING

After days of pure chaos and pressure, this day is different. I was in my bed for the whole day, recharging again — preparing for another week to come.

Today, for once again, I cleaned my room — removing the mess that my busyness made, arranging things where they should be in place. But this dirt and mess is a testament to my efforts and hard work

This entire week was a different week for me; I'm not saying that it was hard, but I can say it was blissful and memorable. Pure noise, celebrations, and bumps - definitely one of the moments I'm proud of.

Tomorrow's Monday, and I'm not ready yet. Another week to come that'll surely make me busy again.

SHOT-ERDAY

This day makes so unforgettable. Another rest day for me, like for real.

It was fun. We had our swimming in a local swimming pool resort around here in GMA, and it was still a blast even though the HIA wasn't complete. It felt like a breather after the busy schedules we've all accomplished. No pressure, no more perfection needed - just free in the water, splashing and diving.

Afterward, all of us went home, surely tired and hungry, but it's just a result of another core memory that is definitely hard to happen again.

REST/BEST DAY!

Today wasn't a special day for me, but it was the best. I finally got the rest that I truly deserve. I woke up early in the morning to my alarm because I still had to go to school for the Family Day Celebration, but my body refused, saying “you still need to rest because that's what you deserve”. And that was true - we all needed rest, the different levels of rest.

Speaking of different levels, in the afternoon, after I ate lunch, I decided to full tank myself again. And, yes, I slept. I woke up at 7 PM and felt like a newborn - I had the energy to start another day.

WAR IS OVER💕

Finally, after long and tiring weeks — it's now done. Every game that we played, every practice that we needed to attend, and every day that we needed to show up, it's all resulted in a victory that everyone of us was looking forward to.

We performed our Mass Demo performance today and we competed with all SHS levels. In the end, we were declared as the champion for the second time, thanks to Ricky Baldo, our choreographer. But for my other classmates, it's their four-peat championship.

Also, today, Black Phanters won again for the overall championship in Sports Fest - a back-to-back victory for us. And I'm really grateful to Sofia, our Leader, for managing this team, and also to our Team adviser, Sir Eli, for handling our team nicely.

This week was long and tiring for us. I'm hoping for a rest that we truly deserve. I'm beyond grateful to those people who were aware of our efforts, to the people who made everything possible.

A VICTORY TO REMEMBER🏆🏅

I just realized that this will be the last Sport Fest that I would experience, and it was so bittersweet and surreal - I'm still can't process it. Joining in this one of the most awaited and important celebrations of VDA is such a privilege. Competing in different games and sports is like a different level of experience. I've met a lot of new faces and learned some new skills that were so much fun to discover. I can say that this is the BEST SPORT FEST EVER!!

No words can explain what I'm feeling right now; my eyes are watering as I write this. I'll definitely miss this part of my life - a phase that I've had an opportunity to discover more, a phase which I've experience the art of losing and winning.

The war is not over. We still need to perform our mass demo performance tomorrow, and I'm hoping for another title. Wish us luck!

Day was fun, yet unsatisfied💔

Today, we had a head-to-head battle against The Celestials for the volleyball championship, and they took the crown from us. It's kinda hurt because we were aiming for another victory, but it didn't go as planned. I know we did our best for our team, and that's already enough — showing up and fighting is better than being scared of losing.

We also had our battle for the championship in the badminton mix-doubles category. We lost our spot and took 3rd place; not bad for my first time ever trying this sport.

This day is a heartbreak, all of my expectations were disappointed, yet it was still a fun and insane experience. Forget the bad things today and come back stronger tomorrow. See you!

DAY ONE, DONE!👏

Today was a whirlwind - chaotic and insame, like everything is surreal. Standing here again in the same school, and able to hear again the loud cheers of the different team. Sport Fest is officially here! I'm loving every bit of it - the familiar faces, the new connections, the rush of competition.

It started with a shaky start, though. My Scrabble game was a decent warm-up, but I was nervous knowing the other players were no slouch. Then we took on Blazing Zephyrs in Volleyball, and it was a wild ride - they almost took us down! Lastly, we represent Phanters in Badminton's Double-Mix Category… and yes, we WON!

It was loud, messy, and real - a mashup of lessons and wins. One win doesn't erase the sweat and grind we've put in, though. We're headed to the championship, and I'm keeping my cool. Tomorrow's a new game. All I want is to stay locked in, savor the moment, and give it my all for myself and the teams.
