RESETTING

After a few days that felt loud and nonstop, today was the complete opposite. I stayed home all day, letting things slow down for once. I didn’t realize how much I needed this pause until I was finally in it. Rest may seem unproductive, but it gives you exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Looking back, I’m grateful for the chaos that made everything feel alive, the laughter that came so easily, the wins that showed effort pays off, and even the small stumbles that taught me lessons along the way. Every part of it mattered.

Honestly, this might be the best school year I’ve ever had. Not because everything was perfect, but because it felt real. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to experience something like this again, and maybe that’s what makes it mean so much more. These are the kinds of moments that stay with you long after they’re over.

Not gonna lie though, knowing Monday’s tomorrow kind of ruins it.

Anyway, good night, y’all—school’s calling. 🫩

OUT AND ABOUT

Family Day again, but this time far from school. Since it was the weekend and there wasn’t much to do at home, my family decided to spend the day outside.

We kept things simple and ate at a samgyupsal place in Dasmariñas. The food was really good, especially the fish cakes, which ended up being my favorite part of the meal. 😋

Before heading home, we stopped by to buy a few groceries and treated ourselves to dessert after dinner.

Nothing fancy, just one of those nights that leaves you feeling full in more ways than one.

HEART FULL, WEEK DONE

Family Day felt different in the best way. Parents and teachers led the event, while students filled the day with games, laughter, and raffles.

The most unexpected moment was being awarded “Most Charming,” especially since dancing Zumba wasn’t even part of my plan.

Rich and I then worked on the concert backdrop. What I thought would be quick ended up taking longer than expected with just the two of us.

During the Feb-Ibig Concert, I took photos and videos, especially of the band’s performances, which were genuinely entertaining.

I was glad I got to eat earlier, which gave me the energy to get through the day. The best part was spending time with my friends and heading home together after a long but meaningful day. 👯‍♀️

A long day, a full heart, and a perfect close to Foundation Week.

TWOFOLD TRIUMPH

Back-to-back champions, not just in Sport Fest but also in the Mass Demo. Four times since Grade 9, and somehow we still found a way to raise the bar.

Foundation Day turned into a full celebration as we were called up not once, not twice, but three times. Each award felt unreal, the cheers getting louder each time, a clear reminder of how far we’ve come and how much work went into every win.

What made it even better was knowing this is our last year. No do-overs, no next time. Just us, the noise, the wins, and memories built from countless practices, shared struggles, and moments we’ll carry long after the uniforms are gone.

Indeed, holding out for a hero—us. 🦸‍♀️

ENDGAME

And just like that, Sport Fest has officially ended.

I stepped onto our school grounds as the Quiz Bee kicked off, competing alongside my friend RJ. We placed second, which was not bad at all, especially since it was all identification. Every correct answer still felt like a small victory.

At the same time, our basketball team was playing the championship game and won. I couldn’t play because it clashed with the Quiz Bee, but receiving the medal afterward still felt amazing.

The best part of the day came later. We became back-to-back champions in the Mobile Legends tournament. As the team’s midlaner for the second time, I received a lot of compliments, which felt really rewarding. 💋 Winning this time wasn’t just about the title—it was about how much closer my teammates and I had grown along the way.

Two wins secured, with one more medal waiting tomorrow. As usual, the day ended with our final Mass Demo practice. One last push. May the best dance win.

IN BETWEEN MATCHES

This day moved slower than expected. We thought the Mobile Legends tournament would happen, but the schedule turned out differently. Instead of competing, we ended up at one of my teammate’s house, playing games and practicing.

With the confusion, most of the day was spent waiting. My friends and I passed the time watching Netflix, all of us sleepy, just trying to rest while we could.

When practice finally started, we focused and pushed through. By the end of it, we finally finished our dance, and that alone made the day feel less wasted.

Nothing loud, nothing big. Just a long day that quietly came to an end. Time to rest now, because tomorrow might be more tiring. 🧖‍♀️

FOUNDATION WEEK, DAY ONE☝🏻

Today felt loud and fast, like everything was happening at once. Standing in the school court, hearing the cheers and seeing the muses and escorts, it finally sank in that Sport Fest had begun.

Leading the Black Panthers doesn’t feel like a weight. I genuinely enjoy this, surrounded by familiar faces while meeting new ones.

The day started with a small stumble. Placing second in the mind games wasn’t what I hoped for, but it reminded me that progress doesn’t always come in first place. It encouraged me to do better.

Then came our first Mobile Legends win against Blazing Zephyrs, and everything shifted. One result doesn’t erase all the effort we’ve put in. Now, we’re heading to the championship tomorrow.

Today was loud, messy, and real—a mix of lessons and wins. Tomorrow? We’ll see. All I want is to stay focused, enjoy the moment, and give my best.
