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.

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.
