"Next month na ang Skills Olympics and as usual we'll be expecting other schools to come here and participate in the said event" sabi ni ma'am Joy, our club adviser

we are here at Alfresco, it's a live laboratory for Hospitality and Tourism students it's a restaurant inside our school and we're currently having a meeting. Tahimik lang kaming nakinig while she's explaining nang bigla akong tinapik ni Chester

"ibang school daw, alams naaa" bulong niya sakin while wiggling his brows

'tong baklang to boy hunting nanaman aatupagin, i looked at him while giving him a judging look

"wag ka ngang feeling dyan, if i know mas excited ka pa sakin"

"alam mo ikaw?" he looked at me as he waits for my next sentence

"makinig ka nalang kasi paniguradong ikaw nanaman ang Emcee" he just chuckled while making faces and he continued jotting down some important details

"Ms. President gawa ka na ng Job Description niyo, sino ang assigned sa design and lay out ng stage, technicals, guideline, registrations and certificates"

okay, welcome to another chapter of pagudtomyat also known as pagod-gutom-puyat. Natapos ang meeting naming officers and we've decided na ang magiging design ng stage ay Barrio Fiesta and we're planning to buy all the materials that we will be needing as early as today.

Marami pa kasing prosesong gagawin, we need to book for the event, ask permission to the dean get approved by the VP acads and more, ayaw naman naming magrush dahil papagalitan kami ng Club Adviser namin. Metikolosa kasi siya and as much as possible she wants everything to be well organize

"guys, send ko nalang sa gc yung job description natin" sabi ng President namin and that was our signal na pwede na kaming umalis

"sure na ba kayong sa decor tayo?" paninigurado ni Marielle

"kayo kaya 'tong nag volunteer na tayo na sa decor" sabi ko sakanila habang pababa na kami ng hagdan

"e kasi naman parang di mapapagkatiwalaan yung ibang officer sa paggawa ng decor" napatango kaming lahat sa sinabi ni Bea

well, may point naman siya. Marami kaming officer ng club pero kaming magkakaibigan lang mostly yung gumagalaw

nakauwi na ako and ready na sanang matulog nang biglang tumunog and phone ko, binuksan ko ang GC

From: PHRTS OFFICERS
guys eto na JD natin
president sent a photo

i checked the photo and searched for my name in the list, ayun final na, decor ulit tapos technical squad pa, malamang neto magiging taga-score pa ako sa quiz bee sa mismong event

it's been 2 weeks after the meeting and nandito kami sa apartment ni Jubelle para gumawa ng decor. Naka-upo kami sa sahig with our uniforms on, katatapos lang ng last class namin and we went straight here para masimulan na ang decor ng stage

"Nie paabot naman ng gunting" Bea said while pointing at the pair of scissor beside me. I'm busy folding some banderitas and she's cutting some colored papers na gagawin naming flower for the decor
