ICON Week

last week was ICON week... and it was a busy and tiring week! ICON is the only organization in the ICS department, and every year they have this week where they make all this activities for the students of ICS. this year, they had the beauty pageant, a quizbee, a nihonggo class (which, sadly, i missed), and the traditional variety show! compared to the past ICON, this year's is probably the most productive.

so why was it busy and tiring? dami kasing nangyari.. the week started out slow. halos walang ginawa nung tuesday.. nung wednesday, halos wala rin. i just attended my classes and discussed about the SE project. thursday came, and it all started! thursday was thesis day so we were supposed to meet up. eh napuyat si Dom nung nakaraang gabi, she slept nalang sa library. i just told her to go home nalang so she could rest, and besides, it's her brother's birthday. kami naman ni Erick, we talked about thesis for a bit. we decided to have an overnight this day kasi kailangan na talaga mag brainstorm para sa thesis. ayun, after blabbering about, we decided to go to Quiapo! tumingin kami ng mga DVDs!! haha. so yun, nakabili ako ng LOST. i bought it for my dad kasi lagi nalang dito sa house kaya para hindi naman mabato. when i got home, pinakita ko kay papa yung DVD.. bigla ba naman nagyaya manuod!! so yun, eh napaka gripping and suspenseful yung story ng LOST, nawili tuloy kami! tuloy tuloy yung panunuod namin!! hanggang naka 5 episodes kami, eh dumating na si Erick ng mga 10pm! si Dom naman wala pa! medyo nahihilo na nga ako kasi napasubo ako kay papa na manuod ng DVD. tapos dumating na si Dom ng mga around 12am na!! medyo masakit na talaga yung ulo ko pero hindi ko nalang pinaalam sa kanila! eh may quiz pa ako sa COBOL kinabukasan, AND may nihonggo class pa nga sana ako na gusto ko pasukan! grabe, as in hexxed na talaga ako! then nag text yung friend ko from 4IT!!! may practice raw nung sayaw namin tom, 8am!!!! hindi naman ako maka hindi kasi nauna na yung commitment ko dun kaysa sa nihonggo class.. and hindi ako maka back out kasi by partners yun! eh swing yung dance kaya medyo kailangan talaga malaman yung steps, nag oblige na ako. haaay!!

so yun, brainstorm na kami para sa thesis ng mga madaling umaga! umabot hanggang 5am yun so wala na talaga tulugan. mga 5:30am, hinatid ko na si Dom sa kanila.. eh since mag 6am na, sumabay na rin kami kay papasok ng school since may 8am appointment practice ako. WALANG TULUGAN talaga, as in!!! when i got there, takte, late pa yung mga tao dun! so nag aral na muna ako ng COBOL. then nagdatingan na, ayun, we practiced the dance. my partner was kathleen, my classmate from 4IT. buti nalang at malaki ang pasensya niya at tinuruan niya pa rin ako kahit medyo slow ako. yung theme kasi namin eh yung HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. the only reason i participated in this year's show was because i need the incentives. i need grades!! haha. then yun, nag quiz na sa cobol.. then kumain ako.. then class.. then practice uli sa sayaw! hanggang natapos na nung mga 9pm na! then on my way home, grabe, yung paningin ko talaga iba na.. pagdating sa bahay tulog kaagad ako eh! then pag gising ko, saturday morning na.. naku, may practice ulit!!

so yun, time na for the show. i think we did ok naman! even na hindi masyado nakapagpractice masyado, ok pa rin! :) nung nasa stage ako, parang hindi ko makita yung mga audience. pero ok naman at hindi ako kinabahan! haha! dun lang ako nag suklay ng buhok after a very long time! baka makitaan kasi ako ng tikwas eh! hahaha! so, it came and passed. natapos na yung show ng around 9pm na! sayang talaga at third place lang kami! ok talaga yung 2nd year kasi maganda talaga yung presentation nila, GREASE ba naman yung theme nila eh. pero yung hindi ko maintindihan eh kung paano nag 2nd yung mga freshmen! no offense pero hindi naman sila ganon kaganda and sa overtime offenses nila, dapat nag negative na yung score nila!! no offense pero that's how i see it! kami kasi nagputol pa ng mga scenes para lang wala kaming time offense eh, tapos sila halos isang oras sa kanila, naubos lang yung oras sa kaka-sound check! o diba!? eh kung alam namin na hindi naman pala masusunod yung time rule eh di sana ang dami namin nasingit! kainis. pero that's life. hehe. ok lang, as long as we tried our best! :)
