The Foundation Day

Foundation Day


The 2 day event....you see everyone is damn tired. Many singing their lungs out and running till their muscles are worn out. You see i counted all the people whose throats were burned by the Cheering Competition. The games are hot and the leagues had their tools sharpened.

We had the four leagues, now we have the successors. The battle of physical mights and the tenfold talents of people who are discovered to have such talent. Four way battle has never been this so scorching hot.

League games are not the focus of the Foundation Day, duh. It is the foundation itself. Students forget the roots of the school that let the tree grow and bear fruit. The first alumni like Sir Jeff Pabalay and Dave Dingal, set out their mission in life but do not ever forget Pisay. Who could forget Pisay...the trials and everything. They were the pioneers of the whole thing.

The loyalty award is given to...them. Who knew they were so loyal. Ms. Cala, Sir Lariosa, Ms. Del Rosario, the like. The stories were so touching, Ms. Hazel Ruelan-Lagapa's story of the past. With the "Nasuya mo" line as told to the younger Pisay. The hardships before were so unimaginable, Ate Carren of the Pisay Alumni told the research with 5x more hardships as there was now. Today is so comfortable, you would not need to carry a printer a mountain away from your school...as compared to Ate Carren's experiences.

So much for the opening remarks and the motorcade before the whole thing. Then guess what...Games galore. We had the Pera o Bayong, which was not really the Pera o Bayong. The one who suggested the thing was not following the real common sense thing. Where is the bayong now it was only the "A", "B", "C", "D" illustration boards...come on SCS we know you can do better than that.

We also had the solo singing and the duet singing. People listen to the singers who do an excerpt of songs like "Cruisin", "The Climb", "Bring Me to Life", and 80's songs like "Kind of Hush" and "Build me Up Buttercup". The audience sing to every line of the song.

The next morning more games happened. Major games like Patintero and Volleyball were given with much energy from the players, and the cheer from their leagues. There were also old style parlor games which broke the ennui (I actually spelled this word at the Spelling Bee whoa!) out of the league members who do nothing.

The big deal came...The Pop Dance and also the ever so funny Pisay Wannabe entertained the crowd. One complaint about the wannabe compared to last year. It is not really a wannabe competition but a gay gala, They just dress to impress and not fit the real person they want to look-a-like. Hey come on! The title of this competition should be "Miss Gay Pisay 2009" Boys dressing up as girls do attract people but the title Pisay wannabe does not fit its name. They should have more serious Pisay Wannabes next year, Perhaps a real look-a-like of a famous person is the best performance (Arroyo and Obama anyone?).

Overall, the program was not half-bad. It was enjoyable but it could be better. I hope the SCS could try a new gameshow and not the repeated games. Try Singing Bee instead of the Spelling Bee or League Drama would not that be nice.

P.S. Results

1st Yellow
2nd Green
3rd Red
4th Blue

The gap between the 4th place and the 1st place is by 300+ Points. Blue (2400+) and Yellow (2700+), Red (2400+) and Green (2600+). The parlor games were not worth 100 points, they should have been worth 30 or 50 points.
