Intramurals Experience

 



Hello, everyone! Today, I'd like to share my intramurals experience with you. I've always wanted to join and be a badminton player since Grade 10, but I missed the tryouts because I got sick. So, I decided to try out in Grade 11. When the list of intramurals participants was posted, my friends and I discussed what we would do if we didn't get picked for badminton. We decided to sign up for three sports just in case. Little did we know, the tryouts for all three sports were scheduled at the same time. During the badminton tryouts, only two of us made it into Batch 1. One of my friends switched to volleyball, and luckily, there was a Batch 2, so another friend got in.


After some tough competition, we secured our spots in both Batch 1 and Batch 2. My friend and I played doubles, and another friend played singles. We played at school and trained at Raquetaz once a week. The day of the parade came, and I was overjoyed to be part of the intramurals. Three days later, the games started in Dasmarinas Bayan, beginning with Raquetaz Badminton at 7:00 am. We started warming up, feeling nervous and surprised because the schedule wasn't followed properly. Our first match was against Hums 12, a strong and experienced opponent. We were nervous, and unfortunately, we lost with a score of 31/24. After a short break, we faced Stem 11 feeling more confident because we had seen their training. However, they were stronger and won with a score of 31/26. We rested and discussed our strategy for the next match against Hums 11. The match against Hums 11 was intense from the beginning. We took an early lead, but they caught up, leading to a thrilling finale with a score of 31/30. Although we didn't win, we learned a lot and became more motivated to train harder for Grade 12. Participating in the intramurals was challenging but rewarding. It taught us about sportsmanship, perseverance, and teamwork. I'm looking forward to the next intramurals and the opportunities it will bring. Thank you for joining me on this journey and sharing in my experiences!

      Participating in events like intramurals can still be enjoyable and fulfilling even if you don't achieve victory in every match. The experience of competing, pushing yourself, and learning from both successes and setbacks is what ultimately contributes to personal growth and improvement.

Field Trip Adventure: Exploring Villa Escudero

Hey everyone! Today, I'm excited to share my recent field trip experience to Villa Escudero, a stunning resort located just a few hours away from our school. Although the trip was optional due to its cost, only six came in my section. The day started early. I woke up at 4:10 am, grabbed a quick bite, and rushed to school for our assembly at 4:45 am Thankfully, despite the tight schedule, I managed to make it on time, thanks to a cab ride to the assembly point. Our bus was waiting, and after a short stop for breakfast and comfort, we hit the road and arrived at Villa Escudero full of anticipation. Our first stop was the museum tour. The collection was amazing—rare artifacts and pieces from around the world. Photography was restricted, which made the experience even more exclusive. Next up was a unique team-building activity that unfortunately got rained out, but we made the best of it under shelter and then enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch. After lunch, we had the option to watch ...

Cycling Adventure: From Vermosa to Evia

  Hello cycling enthusiasts! Today, I'm excited to share with you the details of a memorable bike ride adventure from Vermosa to Evia. Join me as I recount the exhilarating journey filled with scenic views, unexpected challenges, and good company. It all began with a simple conversation back in school. My friend and I, passionate about cycling, often discussed our biking plans and dream destinations. One day, my friend suggested Vermosa for doing laps—a perfect spot for a weekend ride. However, with school commitments during weekdays, our biking adventures were limited to Saturdays. As the weekend approached, we finalized our plans. On Friday, we deliberated over our meeting point. I proposed 7/11, but my friend suggested Bella Vista as the ideal starting point for our Vermosa adventure. Excited and well-prepared, I packed everything I needed and woke up bright and early at 5:00 AM to begin the day. I headed to Bella's place, our designated meeting spot, and patiently waited...
