Beyond That Victory is Hard Work...and Fun

It's the time during the school year when the bond, teamwork and cooperation of a section is challenged. The Play Festival is one of the activities that students look forward to every year. And I can say that this year's play festival was a success not only for the winners but for EVERYONE. We managed to produce good and enjoyable plays that only proved us to be true children of the theatre.

For Year II-St. Anne, the section where I belong, had victory over both CAF and CAE plays. But this victory, we did not easily grab. We worked hard for it. I remember my classmates and I staying until 5:30pm everyday to practice. We also sacrificed relaxing for the weekend to meet-up and plan for the play. We even spent our recess and lunch breaks doing the props. Those who weren't part of the technical crew even helped with props. Although we sometimes have misunderstandings, we managed to work together and do what we were supposed to do properly. But, of course, we didn't just work, work and work. We also had some fun. I remember those afternoons when we would make jokes with each other, our bloopers are just memorable. It's kind of already stamped on my memory. I would just crack up when I remember some. I believe our bond became stronger and we know each other better. We became closer to each other.

During the play, we were definitely filled with tension and pressure especially since last year, St. Anne won grand slam. And we didn't want to destroy the legacy. During the awarding, Jesselle, Yzabel and I were holding each other's hands and shaking.

I couldn't just end this blog post without saying this: I admire Princess Dalayawon. She sacrificed some meetings of her French classes just so she could practice with us. In times when we do not cooperate, she keeps her cool. She is in control of her temper. She doesn't shout at us, instead she just keeps quiet when no one's listening to her and somehow, we would just know that she's quite mad already. :)


Play Fest 2010 is over but we had priceless moments to last a lifetime. It's definitely noteworthy. :)
I couldn't be any prouder about what we accomplished.
Congratulations, everyone! :)
