Hurrah! Let's partay. I won 2nd place in Declamation. Yehey! (:
I arrived in school so early. I practiced with Arielle. But then, she backed out. Then, Mr. Romy called us and told us to be disciplined while watching the contests. At around 7am or 8, I dressed up and wore my skirt and blouse. I practiced and practiced. Then, it was our turn! I was contestant no. 5. When I was waiting for contestant number 1, 2, 3 & 4 to be finished, I wasn't nervous. But when they called contestant no. 5, my hands were shaking and I was really scared. Luckily, I did good. I did my best, too. :D
I went downstairs and played robber with Dorothy. Ms. Sandra told us to go upstairs. So we stopped playing. We were supposed to go to Jano's but
Kuya Henry won't allow us to go out. We went to the office to get a letter for permission to go outside. But Ms. Reggie told us that it wasn't lunch break yet. Argh! We stayed at the court. But since 'twas too hot, I transferred to the tree with the boys. We talked and laughed. ((:
After that, I ate lunch at the canteen with Tiffany and Sam. We got bored and I tried drumming. LOL. Drumming by the hotdog stand. ((:
Then, we went upstairs. Announcement of Winners. I crossed my fingers so tight! One of the judges announced the winners.
"3rd place goes to Demi Jemimah Lomo *applause*.. 2nd place goes to CLARISSE MAE D. ZAPLAN. *shocked*.. 3rd place goes to Danielle Duenas *SUPRISED*", she said. When I heard Dana's name, golly.. I screamed! And there was complete silence except for my scream. 'Twas a bit funny. Haha. It's alright that I'm only a 2nd placer. I'm happy because there were 8 participants and I was 2nd. Yaayy. (:
I ran as fast as I could to Language Area and told Arielle that Danielle won. Then, I didn't know that the writings already started so I hurried to write. I was picked in Sports Writing. The facts were on the board and we made a basketball story. Afterwards, I waited for the Hekasi Quiz Bee but it was so long. My head was aching that time. And I wasn't feeling good, too. Me and Hannah joined the robber of the afternoon session so that I would perspire. Because when you perspire, you won't be sick anymore. In the middle of the game, there was a fight that happened between Hensen and Vincent. Man, it was so crappy. I hate fights, by the way. :| We continued playing and I told Arielle what happened. Joseph was so funny. He threw ripped leaves on us. LOL.
Around 5, I went upstairs to check out the festival. And 'twas still Grade 3 - Spelling Bee. I went upstairs and I saw Kristine. She reviewed and I told her that I'll review downstairs. My fetcher was already there and I told him that my quiz bee's still not done yet. I waited for the quiz bee. But 'twas already late when they told us that the quiz bee's postponed. I thought I wasn't going to be fetched! It was 6pm and everyone was leaving. I was alone in the shed waiting for my driver to arrive. Finally! He arrived at about 6:10pm. I fetched my mom in WearElse and we went home. (:
