Family day Journal

Family Day isn't just about spending time with your family, it's also a day to spend time with your friends. Last Sunday, April 23,2023 we celebrated our annual family day, the bond of love, laughter, and togetherness that is shared by families all over the world. Family Day is a special occasion that reminds us of the importance of spending quality time with our loved ones and cherishing the moments we have together.

Our Family Day was from afternoon to evening, though I got there early to prepare for our Dance Palabas performance which was part of our Intramurals Tournament. The heat during midday was so hot, considering its already summer, right after lunch we were to Iassemble in our respective tents on the grounds for a mass, and due to how hot and bright it was we had to squeeze in our chairs inside the tent just to be under the shade. 

Right after the mass, we change our clothes immediately thinking our dance performance was right after, turns out there were still games before our performance could start. The games were interesting though, especially the JHS batch, because even if you lost you got to eat an apple so I guess it's a win-win for each side? After the games were the singing competition, so proud of Althea for singing for our team. (Until I met you~~) And congratulations to all the winners!

After the Elementary batch, were JHS and each team's time to shine. Everyone's dances were incredible id say, the blue team's acting and choreography were super good too!! Since that was the final competition in the overall Intrams, we gave our all for our dance, even the sky was in a color that fitted our dance theme. Though we ended up in 4th place overall, for the past month everyone practiced for was a fun experience even after almost 3 years of not having face-to-face Intramurals. 

The evening was approaching, and everyone was ready and preparing for dinner. Eating dinner with everyone was fun since we usually only eat together for lunch during whole-day schedules. Surprisingly everyone ate fast so they could dance to the music playing, students dancing like it was a party, while parents talking to each other. As soon as the raffle was done though, some families left already, probably because they lived far and it was already night. Though we were planning to take a picture with only us close friends, but someone left already so we just edited one of his pictures so it would seem like he was part of it, both pictures were taken on the same day so I guess it's valid (Seriously when there's an event happening we never get to have a group photo because someone left already or the other one was absent).

The memories we create with our families are precious and will stay with us forever. It is through these moments that we form strong bonds and deepen our love for one another. As we reflect on our own family experiences, we are reminded of the joy and meaning that family brings to our lives. Family or friends, spending time with people who you care for is something that will always be memorable to us. The day was hot but the night was when everyone had fun the most, I'm sure that everyone who attended that day will surely remember it as a day when family and friends get together to spend time.
