Let me talk about the kapatiran...
Day 1
At lunch time we went around all of the groups and ate all kinds of desert. We had a salo- salo where everything was spread out like on fiestas. A group of fourth year students then played and sang some songs. We were using the school's softball field. The grass was a bright and fresh green, we sat on the ground when we did our picnic. It was really nice to have some of the students play some songs. It was acoustic, perfect for relaxing after eating your fill of sweets, pizza, and coke.
Day 2
My friends and I have been excited for this day since last week. On this day we had to wear the costume of our favorite cartoon character (or movie character, sports person, super hero). On my last post I hinted on planning to be Jasmine from Aladdin. I fortunately got my senses back and thought better of it. My first thought on who to be was Jasmine, then I changed it and started looking for the costume of Dorothy. A lot of people asked me who Dorothy even is- seriously they didn't know. For the people who are unfamiliar with her, Dorothy is the girl from Kansas whose house got hit by a typhoon that whisked her a way into a land called Oz. Part of the bandwagon of characters from Oz are scarecrow, tin man, cowardly lion, Glinda the good witch, and the wicked witch of the west. April chose to be Glinda for her costume though she really didn't know who Glinda was. I didn't look anything like Dorothy however when I finally tried on my costume so I changed it. I became- ironically of course, Lucy! From Narnia. I don't know why but people found it hilarious when I told them. For the rest of my friends they were dressed up as the boys from Boys Over Flowers. They were really creative and really looked like the characters they were presenting. My favorite costumes from the day were Hermione Granger, The Smurfs, Alice In Wonderland, and Russell and Mr. Fredrickson. Everyone- well, not everyone- was really creative with their costumes. It was an amusing sight.
Day 3
Day three was honestly very depressing. We were supposed to help paint and build houses for people who had non but the rain had other ideas. I got wet, and you know just how much I despise being cold and damp. For me the day ended okay. Jewel and I ate at KFC. Yummy... mushroom soup and creamy tomato pasta,perfect for a rainy day. When I got home I was very sleepy and tired.
All in all Kapatiran week was a success.
