BEST intrams so far. :))

September 16 and 17 were the scheduled daysof our intramurals this school year. I was very excited to play and enjoy the whole day. The day before the Intrams, September 15, we had our practice day. We first cleaned the court and practiced basketball with my teammates. It was tiring but our practice was worth it. The next day: Intrams day! We came to school wearing our Intrams shirt. The team names this year were based on cars, Green Chevrolet for freshmen, Yellow Lamborghini for sophomores, Red Ferrari for us juniors, and Blue Porsche for seniors.

We first had an assembly in the court. Ma'am de Vera delivered the opening speech and the participants for the Mr. and Ms. Physique were introduced. Then the cheer dancers performed on the court. Then the basketball game (boys) started. The first game was Red Ferrari against the Green Chevrolet. I was excited and confident that we will win this game, fortunately we won. Of course, Mhyllie led the team with 18 points. I know I'm not the star player of the team so I'm contented with my 5 points. After that we rested and watched the other games.

The 2nd day started. My excitement was doubled because we will face Blue Porsche in the championship game. We practiced in the morning, watched the match between the Yellow Lamborghini and Green Chevrolet. After that, it was my most awaited moment: the finals in basketball (boys). We had a warm up and started the game. At first and second quarters the seniors were ahead of us by many points, but in the third and fourth quarters we came close and had an overtime. During overtime I focused mainly on defense and let Mhyllie take care of the offense. I was not able to finish the game because I had cramps in the last minute of the OT. In the last 10 seconds we were already ahead by 6 points and I thought to my self: WE MADE IT! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!! All the juniors who watched the game were yelling and were very happy for our win. We shook hands with the seniors for the good game and we celebrated. After that we watched and cheered for the girls in basketball (girls). They won against the freshmen but lost against the seniors. It was okay, at least they did their best and finished 2nd place.

It was one of the best and memorable days in my life. And I can say that compared to the Intrams last year and when I was in first year, this is the best Intrams so far in my high school life. Go Red Ferrari!!!

Sonnet 116

Sonnet 116:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
   If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Manny Pacquiao: My Modern Day Hero

He started as very poor amateur boxer
He trained hard and fought until he became better
He became stronger and defeated his hater
The fruits of his perseverance he earned later

Gives pride to the Philippines and loves our country
He made it very famous always talked about
Never forgets our Creator always faithful
He is very generous helps people a lot

He wants to serve our beloved Philippines
So he ran as a congressman as the first step
Acting as a hero to the poor to help
Modern day hero to the modern Philippines
