CAT Swimming

One of our CAT traditions is to bond with each other during the CAT-COCC swimming. Unfortunately, heavy rain poured on that day so only few people were able to attend. I was really looking forward to this because I really miss my mates! Plus, I wasn't able to attend last year so I wanted this to be memorable. The last time that I was able to bond with them was I think two or three days before our graduation.

The place where we stayed! I really don't like swimming so I didn't bring clothes and all. I was just there for pictures. Haha! 

Joelle and Michelle! My both sabog friends. 

Bench bodies haha! Hello there Xavier, Ado and Mark! 

Ado and his career. Wish him luck. Hahaha! 

Look how few we were! 30 people were expected to come so that we could pay the pool rental but it was really a fail. We were having dilemmas and we got no food! Haha yet we had fun, really. It was really nice to be with them again. 

Even though we only got close last year, there's this really fun aura when you're with them. I really like being with my mates because I feel very comfortable with them. Looking forward for another get-together with them. :3 

Hotel

I know it's been a while since I updated but I'm back! We had our CAT Graduation few weeks back so sorry for the super late entry!

Preparation before the rites itself. 

My platoon's flag with my private.

We were supposed to practice our drill that time but the program was about to start so we had to go back to our posts. :| 

I didn't have the chance to take pictures during the program itself mainly because we were just made to stand throughout the event. Anyway, here are pictures after the graduation! 

My platoon, Hotel. T'was too bad that we only became close during the graduation practices. But I'm still glad I had new friends! I will surely miss all these people. :) 

Classmates! :) 

My Lunchmates :)

Michelle and Chelsea

With Sammy and Cara, both from my platoon

Janielle, Sammy, Me, and Zilah! 

My mates and I didn't have the chance to take pictures since we're all tired and hungry. BUT, 'San Bisig! I'm gonna miss you all along with the good and bad times that we had. Congratulations to us! :D

The event was super tiring yet fulfilling. It made me too excited for our high school graduation which is... three days from now. Yay!

2nd runner-up: Not bad

 Us

The first and second picture were from the other schools: Mary Immaculate Parish Special School and Mary Mother of God Parochial School, respectively. Our Lady of the Abandoned Catholic School was also there too, along with San Roque Catholic School. 

And then, there's us (third picture). But that's not how we were like during our real performance. That was when we were getting our lunch already. Sadly, my camera was locked up in the DAST room during our perfomance so I didn't have pictures. 

That's how we are always like during formation. It's not a problem to me, but a problem when you join competitions like this! Discipline should always be strictly implemented and we only had it during our performance. Haha! We had trained for a whole week last week, and by training, I meant eating, sleeping, chatting, and a few "practicing". 

This is actually one of the many fun experiences I had in my highschool life! This was the only time that my mates and I (and some recruits) really got to bond with each other. Last summer I wasn't able to go to school for our training that much because of my CET reviews. Now I'm having regrets. :( 

During the awarding, we were pretty sure that we're not gonna be hailed as champions since MMGPS and MIPSS' performance was really good. All of them moved as one and their errors aren't much noticeable. They deserved to win the first and second place, alright. 

Class 'San Bisig (that's the name of our batch), on the other hand, won third place out of five competing schools. At that point, we weren't really rooting to be winners (but it'd be better if we did haha) because all we cared about was the fun experience we had during practices. I'm surely gonna miss this when I graduate!  

Right now, I have so many deadlines to meet. We just started doing our investigatory project this week and it gives me so much stress already. Plus, tomorrow's the deadline for our research proposal. It's also hard to catch up with our lessons last week because we should have been there during the discussion for us to understand clearly, but we weren't. No regrets, though. It was really fun "training" with my mates haha!
