soaring above all of you...
officially ... LASALLIAN
FIRST DAY
already met new friends. i even met we just had the orientation for incoming COE froshies last may 11 and 12, they were both whole day engagements. it seemed quite awkward at first coz u hardly know anyone, but in a matter of 20 minutes ivegiorgio, my highschool classmate, on the way to the designated area for my block section, EF. anyways, the first person i met was bernadete; she came from grace christian high school. we had a little bit of chit chat, before going up using the elevator where the line was cut into two. when we reached the auditorium, the program commenced and the little back to the past kind of presentation they had was a cutesy one, it just reminded me of something. afterwards, each block was asked to give out a cheer, well our orienter went to the restroom i think, so it was actually quite hilarious coz we were asked to stand, and all we did was stand, lol ;).after the short program we went to our rooms and actually tried to play some games before moving on to the lecture portion. we played foot structures and bugaloo, and in the end they were both unsuccessful, really funny. we were playing simple games and still couldnt get them right, lol. like we had the instructions told to us, but we just couldnt follow them. thats where our orienter, ninya and daphne, got our batch nickname, LUTANG. then my liongson came and we started discussing about the lasallian virtues, prayer, and about the life of brother john baptiste de la salle and relating the 7 major events in his life with our own. id say he is quite good at discussing, must be a pro.
with half of the lecture portion done, we went down for lunch which became a deeper version of the getting to know each other activities that we had. in the afternoon at around 1:30 we had the lecture again until 3 pm. then we toured most of the campus and visited the sps building, which houses the student council office and office of student organizations and the sort. this was the best part of the campus tour coz the offices we visited were airconditioned, lol.
SECOND DAY
on the second day, we met up at the amphitheatre. i thought that our block was early, and realized that our one was actually one of the latest ones to arrive. (i have always known that our batch is the best, no sarcasm intended) we started the day out in the chapel where we had a 1 hour mass. cha a.k.a. sacrifice and i were chatting, and then poch suddenly told cha that someone is being disturbed... hmm.. wonder who. hahaha. anyways, so we decided to settle down a bit but still talked quite a bit. then the same events that happened the day before followed, with ONE thing different.one game that we played was actually successful. the first game was pepe, daphne would be giving out a category and we'd have to give out a title related to the category and change one word of it to pepe, and the title should still make sense, a good example would be, the category is english songs, with linkin park's in the end, change end to pepe, and you have in the pepe. it was fcukin' hilarious. note: fcukin is not a typographical error, :)
then, we had the lecture portion again, this time, it was about the academic and discilinarian concerns. mr. liongson discussed the academic half, while a d.o.p. discipline office paragon and ms. nenita, discussed the disciplinarian half. then we had our lunch before going back up to our rooms. we stayed in the room for like another 15 mins, discussing about the cheer that we'd have later on in the afternoon. afterwards, we went on with the school tour, where we got to tour lightly/externally our building, velasco building, agno street, the research building *forgot the name*, the fr. andrew building, and extensively toured the sports complex, for this is where we'd end the orientation, LPEP 2K7(Lasallian Personal Effectiveness Program). so we went up to the second floor and viewed the olympic sized pool of the ground floor. moved on up to the 7th floor via elevator whereas others walked up the stairs, hahaha thanks ninya. the 7th floor houses multipurpose courts which could be used for basketball, volleyball and badminton. then we walked to the 8th floor, where i think all the student organizations had a booth, and it was noisy as hell (in a fun and good way). and in the gawad kalinga booth i had a picture of me and miss eng, jam taken!!! moving on up, we went to the court where our UAAP basketball team practices, and started on with the program. it was fun, at the same time humiliating, coz they had a short game, first one bring a person with celebrity looks, so ninya pulled me onstage and said i looked like YA CHANG? we did not win that, went back to my seat and she pulled me back for the second part, a person from the block who came from the farthest place, we didnt win that either. omg. talk about humiliating. and the third part was a running & trivia portion, where we were represented by aldo. so the program commenced and daphne danced too in the LSD jazz. then near the end they taught us all the cheers so that we'd be ready for this year's UAAP coz the last year's freshmen couldn't experience it unlike us. lucky us. and when i got home i was tired and fell asleep at like 10pm...
btw. kindly leave comments at the comments portion.
