“We are the Seniors…yeah! We are the best… yeah!” Indeed, being a senior is such a privilege because you have proved to everyone that you have survived the three rocky road years of you high school life and you are about to spend your last year in the alma mater but it is also the very tiring and scary year because during this time, you really have to work double time because you can’t afford to lose everything because of a simple wrong doing.
One of the highlights of being a Senior is the Drama Fest Activity wherein the two sections of the fourth years would produce a play and eventually compete, to prove whose production is really the best. For us, it is a very friendly competition but it does not exempt the fact that we would really try our very best to bag the awards.
We were told about this activity as early as the first semester. But we worked on it, two weeks prior the actual presentation, of course! What is! Deadliners!
So, we would spend late nights and tired mornings just practicing and really doing our jobs to produce not a mediocre play. But despite of the time pressure and all the other factors that contribute to our tiresome feelings, we never miss to have fun and enjoy every minute of it. We savor every second that we spend with our batch mates because we know for a fact that soon enough, we would be going our separate ways and this play is not applicable in college! (hehehe…)
Prior the primetime show, we really can’t get rid of the excitement! We just kept on taking pictures, eat and pray that everything would come out fine, if perfect is not possible. As the moment to start gets nearer and nearer, many parents and visitors already arrived and that seriously added to our tension!
At last! The moment to start arrived. Intense feeling could be felt. Tan’s production was first to be showcased and our production then followed. There were some unexpected failures that occurred! Good thing there’s really enough cooperation from everyone and everything was resolved right away.
When Brig. Gen. Emmanuel Villasante threw the food away and cried out loud that signaled for the ending of the play, we really jumped out and screamed on the top of our lungs since we really hoped that that scene would be performed perfectly.
The giving of awards then followed; there were 17 awards in total that would be given away. Tan’s production got 8 awards while our production got 9 awards. We bagged the technical aspect and the best supporting actress award, while the other production bagged most of the acting awards. There was really no hard feeling towards each other and we were so happy for everyone who won.
For us, we don’t care if we did not win the acting awards as long as the aspect where we really invested a lot of effort, time and money was paid off, and that is the technical aspect.
The night ended for us to be so joyful and very successful. We went home tired yet so happy because another mission has been done and the bonding of the batch grew tighter.
“Pagmamahal nga ba ay nasusukat… sa tingin mo ba tama ang dapat masunod? Makasarili ka nga ba o sadyang nagmamahal ka lang… nang ang dusa’t sakit ay maranasan….”
