Everyone looked neat and swell. The boys were looking muy guapo and the ladies were muy hermoso. I believe everyone had a great time.

The highlight of the night came after dinner. The seniors gave a rock to the juniors as a symbol of passing down the burden of responsibility. I keed, I keed. It meant something else.

The dancing was also loads of fun. Everyone had a great time “dancing their socks off”.

Once again, great job, people who made all this possible.

Please bring your parents, friends and relatives to this event. Have a merry Christmas!

On October 26, 2007, we will be having our first Humanities Festival. I bet you might be saying “Woah, that sounds great and all but what the peanuts is a Humanities Festival?”. Good question, pal. This is when we celebrate the arts, music and literature (at least that’s what I think)!

If I am not mistaken, there is a day and night celebration. On this special day, we all come in wearing costumes. Your costume should be based on a book, movie or T.V. character (that is pretty much anything though). We will be having a choral recitation competition (alright!) in the afternoon. Your will be meeting with your groups tomorrow, October 19, 2007.  There will also be a best costume award for each level so make sure you wear something nice.

In the evening, starting about 6:00 P.M., there will be a program for the older levels. We expect the higher grade-schoolers and high schoolers to attend (the young ‘uns and parents can come too!). This will be organized by your loyal and loving seniors. There will be a poetry reading session, fashion show (woah, hot!), a showcase of musical talent, food and some open mic time. I highly encourage those who have skillz that killz to show off during the open mic time. ‘Til next time, friends!

Next week, a great battle is afoot! We will be taking our midterms exams for the second trimester already. It seems that the clock has been ticking faster than we we would have preferred. Fear not, mighty student, for we can conquer the obstacles ahead!

1 . Sleep Well, My Friend- Get a good night’s rest before the test. A mind well rested is a mind for the hunt!

2. Study, Study, Study!- Hit the books (not because of anger and frustration, Mr. Literal)! One must develop good-no, excellent- study habits if one wants to succeed. A mind well prepared is a mind for the hunt!

3. Seeketh Help From Others- Are you finding the lessons too difficult? Suck up that ego and ask help from others who are knowledgeable on the matter. A mind of full understanding is a mind for the hunt!

4.  Put A Smile On That Nervous Face- Do not worry, my worrisome chap! Relax! Don’t let the pressure get to you! A mind well conditioned is a mind for the hunt!

Other Stuff!

   Read, Footballer!
Now that it’s raining quite a bit, I think we should focus on something we don’t usually care about. Our football shoes are probably the most expensive single pay investment we have to make. It is proper that we take care of it properly. Firstly, sun-drying is a no-no. The material may get damaged especially if your spikes are primarily made of synthetic leather. The damage is evident from thinning linings in the shoe or when the outer material becomes flakey. Another common mistake is washing our shoes using a washing machine. Nothing says “Your spikes are going to last for less than 4 months” than this big mistake. Cleats have to be wiped clean from the outside and “newspapered” from the inside. Try to use some shoe perfume to rid it of the smell if you want. Newspapers are probably going to be your best pal for shoe care. When your cleats get wet, stuff it with used newspapers. This would absorb the moisture from the inside for sure. Just wipe the outside clean with  a rag.
