bonding time!

yesterday night, the team had a dinner meeting at Dencio's:) it was actually the second time that we had a dinner meeting there at the said place. pearl really loves the food there, and take note, Pinoy foods huh! this dinner was held as celebration of the success of the interschool debate competition last saturday, march 14.

yeah, speaking about the competition, it was really a success! adjudicators still came from ADC - Mr. Rafael Lozada, and Ms. Kristine Uy. the latter actually is the best speaker in davao city and 3rd in the whole Philippines. WOW MOM! see that?! iba ang kalibre nya brad!!! we were of course very honored to have them as our adjudicators. it's a bit shy though. i mean, we were obviously novice in this field, and though it was already our second time to debate, still we are not that equipped or skilled enough. but through their help, we'd be able to develop ourselves and be one of the best also! [hope soo0o0o0!] there were only 4 teams and so the first round was automatically called as the semi-finals counting ourselves as semi-finalists! who0o0t:] the first round was done in 2 rooms - in room 1 (AVR 1), the battle was between the Lamp Team and the mix-match team of BSN and Education. the Lamp was composed of kyua felix tampos, mary joy and ivy. the mix-match team was composed of me, stuart and ralph. lamp was the govt and we were the opp.in the other room, the battle was BSN-to-BSN...BSN 2j vs BSN 2f. 2j was composed of glaizel, kerry and peggy whilt the other bsn team members were not that familiar to me. we all argued on the same motion: "TH regrets the government's encouragement of Filipino workers to find jobs abroad." indeed debatable. in the end of the semifinals, lamp won over us. they deserved the victory in this round. they were really good in presenting points. im not saying that our team did no good in debating, it's just that lamp's team was better this time. on the other hand, BSN 2j(opp) won over BSN 2f(govt). the moment of truth - final round. the match was between lamp and bsn 2j. the motion was about blaming the major fast food chains of the increasing number of obese people. whoah! interesting! well, i will no longer state what exactly happened. awarding na... lamp won the best team, and it was also from the said team that the best speaker came from - kuya felix tampos. congratxx! but the champion? who0o0o0o, none other than the opp team, bsn 2j! haha. we cant really believe that it was glaizel's team who had the victory in the end! :)) well. congrats to all!

going back to the bonding time we had last night, it was a short while though. unlike the first dinner that we had together, this one's really shorter. i needed to go home early [you know na.] but i didnt want to spoil the night and so i let them stay there and cherish the rest of the time. i went ahead. bidding goodbyes. bye guys:) thank you for the time.

you know, stuffs like this is fun! aside from being a member of the debating team - speaking, arguing, etc - i also am gaining new friends out of this. and so it makes me think na parang 'i belong.' haha. char!
