piece title: kabataang pilipino sa bagong milenyo.

okay, so it all started on august 24, 2006. we got the copy of the piece for the sabayang pagbigkas.

the said piece is to be performed on august 30, 2006.

yes, august 30, 2006. we've only got 6 days left to practice for the contest.

day 1: 08.24.06: the intro was discussed. we used the "narinig mo na ba..." intro that we used back in high school.
day 2: 08.25.06: we went to makati park to have a whole day practice since we don't have classes that day. there was a fountain there and some birds that lyle and i was able to take a picture of. it was fun hanging out with friends. although we were only able to practice the introduction, first and second stanza, it was still a happy day. from time to time, it would rain but it was all okay. it was all worth it.

3rd day: 08.26.06: we decided to have the practice in jade's house. our friends (dustin, ivan, kai and gelo) helped us in finishing our piece. it was a fun day! ^_^


^ at jade's house: i was being wacky. i thought it was supposed to be an informal portrait.
(R to L: me, iris, gel, bear, thina)


^ still at jade's house: cute pose noh?... ^_^
(see how small i look compared to lord?... lolz)

day 4: 08.27.06: it was a rest day! haha!
day 5: 08.28.06: our classes ended at around 1 pm but we had practice in patty's grandma's house. some revisions and actions were taught. we finished up to the second stanza.

^ "singit lang ako sa picture, putol naman ang labs ko"
(jade, patty, me (at the back), gel and half of abi)

^ it was a sunny day!!!
(bear, karl aka bean, gel, me)
day 6: 08.29.06: we had another practice at patty's grandma's house. i was already prepared. i already have anti-mosquito lotion! yay!


^ "tayo na't maglaba!
(clockwise: lyle, labs (abi), me, gel)


day 7: 08.30.06: day of presentation: this is it! today's the day! although our classes would only start at 10 am, we went to school early. we practiced at patty's grandma's house again! we had math, lunch then at the chem lab, we prepared. thankfully, even though we made lots of mistakes on our presentation like the "ice ice salamat" of kath and the "heto kami NGAYON" courtesy of james, we still won first place! we're so great! whan baet! whan best! the judge (the one who wrote the piece) said before announcing the winner that he was so serious when he wrote the poem and that he didn't imagine that his work would be presented that way (with humor and he said another thing but i can't really remember) which, by the way, according to him, was good. they all laughed at the "naamoy mo na ba" part and the "ewan ko" part"... the feeling was great while performing. we forgot numerous of our lines but it was still great! the audience connected to us! it was so much fun! ^_^


^ champion kame!
(whan baet family: proving how great we are... :p)

that's all folks! ^_^
