Aug. 11, 2010- A Fun-Filled Day

This is one special day to remember for the rest of my life. First, we got to see the whole ribbon-cutting ceremony up-close, something that is already an honor for me. During the ceremony, the girls of Sir Pedroso danced to Josh Groban's "You're Still You", Jed Mabilog cut the ribbon and a hundred helium-filled gold,white and blue balloons were flown into the air! Next, Kristina a.k.a. Izzay, and I helped Anthonet with the treasure hunt game where you plant your flag to the spot where you think the treasure is hidden. After that, we played Try Your Luck where you pay 20 in paper money and pick a folded paper with the name of your prize. The three of us got 2 ball pens each. Well that's okay 'cause these were not plain and boring pens! We also played the Teepee game though they inappropriately used a modern tent but I guess we can all forgive them for that. We won lots of candies and I got a small bear with a little Christmas hat :D So after that, I temporarily parted with Anthonet and Izzay and went with Lisa and Russell for a while. I bought something and we went around for a short time to look for Anthonet. While we waited, we sat down by the huge umbrellas where we played with string spray cans that were left on the table. Eventually, we found Anthonet and had our lunch in our classroom. After that, we decided to go to the Scary Room. It would have been scary if you were all alone but it was fun inside. The 'monsters' haven't showed yet but the rest of the audience were scrambling for spaces in the back and in the middle. Well, Lisa, Anthonet, Macie and I were just sitting at the side commenting and stuff. They really did a good job with the decorations and the costumes. It had an environment theme with a message to stop all the carelessness we do to nature. We then went to the museum above the Information where we found an awful lot of old and valuable Assumption items and photographs. The four of us: Russell, Anthonet, Lisa and I also met four other women who were Alumnae of the Batch '71. What was funny was that they asked us to take pictures of them and after we did, WE asked THEM to take pictures of US with the same pose as THEM. They reminded us of ourselves only much, much older. We took a lot of pictures because there were just so many things to picture! So after our awesome museum tour, we watched the movie,Coraline. It had a creepy theme but it was also funny and had some suspense in it. When the movie was done, we went back to the fair and I bought Cerealicious! Something that I always buy on Family Day. While Lisa was buying at Waffle Time, an annoucement went out that all those who are wearing white will be imprisoned at the Jail Booth, which is just the back of a rented truck. Well, we got scared because you either have to pay P100 to bail yourself out or spend 30 minutes in there. We hid in the Grades 1-2-3 restroom for a few minutes until we heard another announcement that didn't apply to ourselves. As Lisa was buying once again, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Angela running toward me! She's one of my best friends but transferred since last year to Ateneo. I was so happy that she came but that wasn't all. While we were just standing there, talking, we saw Crystelle! She's also one of my best friends who transferred schools. It almost seemed like a reunion of some sort and I was very happy because it started to seem like the 6th grade again. We then went back up to the museum so that Angela can take a look for herself. We had fun and eventually, we had to go home. It was truly a fun-filled day to remember for I got to be reunited with my closest friends and enjoyed with them. Well, that is all. :D
