“Family Day” is a day wherein all the students would gather in school together with their families would go to school and eventually have a feast and use the time up to bond.
For four years, I am already used to the feeling that during that day, “special” for others, not my entire family is there with me. Actually, I have experienced it that during my junior years, only my sister came to be with me on this occasion and eventually stayed for just 10 minutes. My parents and my younger brother were in Bohol at that time because it was my grandma’s birthday. Luckily, Euvic’s family was not there too so we just spent the whole day being with each other and eventually ate on the same plate because we had no utensils to use. In the morning then, I performed together with the drum and bugle core as the majorette. I was so envious seeing my friends’ parents taking pictures of her. But eventually, I understood the situation.
And now, my very last Family Day was spent with so much fun! My mom and my younger brother were there to watch me dance our field demonstration presentation. I felt so inspired to dance since my partner too is so handsome (aahhh!!!). Seriously, the day started with a mass. I was seated with my friends around me and we were starting to have a good time. The weather at that time was not that good and drizzling was unpredictable. Nevertheless, we still finished the mass holy.
After our field demonstration, Madame Gallo’s retirement was formally announced. After I delivered my mom and my brother to the guard house because they will go home already, I saw Madam G crying as she approached and told me to really take care of the Stargazer’s society. I eventually cried too because Madam G really inspired me to become a better person and she inflicted change in my life. After the crying sessions, JP and I went to eat Milk bars and watched the soccer game.
When it was about time to eat, since I have no parents, I ate with my friends whose families did not attend too! We just considered ourselves family too. We also had fun making fun of our classmate’s younger siblings! We enjoyed seeing them cry too (cruel! Aren’t we? Hahaha…)!
The entire afternoon was merely spent for the very enjoyable games which were participated by the parents and the students. I actually hosted the entire activity just to refrain myself from getting bored and falling asleep.
Hours later after the very last prize was given for the raffle tickets, me and my co-YFCs went to Fuente to join GK 1MB (Gawad Kalinga Isang Milyong Bayani). There were a lot of students there who were from different institutions and groups, both form the private and public sector, all Youths For Christ who went there for the remarkable activity. There were series of talks and animations. I also saw some of my KAC friends and YFC friends form other campuses.
It was past 7 and we haven’t eaten our dinners yet. So, we went to the larsian area and decided to eat bbq there. I was already not in the mood since I don’t want to eat there. I reasoned out that I did not bring enough money, even if I did have some cash on hand, just for me not to eat there because it feels like my money there is not worth the food, or am I just so thrift?
Eventually, I had no choice but to eat there because majority of us decided to. After some time, Japol followed there because he wants to see Juna.
We went back to the concert area and saw some Bisrock bands performing. Some of my colleagues already went home but there were still some of us who were left to watch the bands. The last band to perform, and actually the highlight of all the bands, was Phylum. When they were already playing, the battery of my cellphone was already dead. So I had to use Japol’s fone for my sim to be inserted and so I can receive text messages. My father texted me and he was looking for me. Form that very moment on, I was so sacred and was starting not to enjoy the show. Because also of the fact that I had no clear voice at that time because of too much usage of my voice the entire day, I was not able to complain that I need to go home. Japol just went along because he will still be with his dad.
So, since JP and I are going home together, I went near him and told him in a very feeble voice. He said okay after the band plays all of their songs. I agreed. But as the minute passes, my heart just seems to beat faster and faster. I told JP how worried I was and why I really wanted to go home. He comforted me and eventually understood. So, we went ahead them and rode on the jitney. I was so quite because I was so tired and I had no voice. I reached our house at 11 pm.
When I arrived, I went directly to sleep with so many thought in my head. My heart was filled with mixed emotions of happiness and other emotions.
