We had our Classical Play Contest in honor of the Booklovers Club Culminating Activity and boy,was it tiring. The play assigned to us was Miss Saigon. All of the participants didn't have a clue what it was about. We were given a little time to prepare plus we had to do a 15-25 minute play when i fact Miss Saigon is a 3-4hour play. The fourth year advisers were not supportive AT ALL! (Well...5% supportive i guess) They didn't want us to be excused for our practice. The school administration didn't want us to miss any subject that's why we were only allowed to practice during lunch break and dismissal time but of course we can't do that because the IMC won't let us borrow or record during dismissal because it is already dismissal and on lunch break,they're also on lunch break. They kept on telling and bragging us about the whole day practice they gave us.They expect us to finish the whole play in just one day (including props)! Since we can't do anything about that, I sort of cut some of my classes just to record our BGM.haha But my teachers know that I'm out they just didn't know that I had no permit with me.^^ And with that time we were suppose to finish our recording but unfortunately, we lost our CD we kept on looking everywhere but we can't find it. The other CD was fo the dancers but it was broken (literally) it had a crack on the side. haha what the..? We had no choice but to wait for the next day in order to burn another CD. Being the director and with 1day left, I decided to call all the directors from all year level to sign a request for a half-day practice (11am-4pm) to our dear principal Sr. Annunciata. She granted our request but it was only from 2pm-4pm but atleast she was kinda supportive.^^ That was our first practice with the dancers. We had to practice underground after school hours in my house but not all participants came.

The contest day:
It was an afternoon program and we thought we can use this time to tell those who were absent in the underground practice but they didn't allow us to miss our morning class. I asked the BLC Moderator, Ms. Salapare, if it was true and she told us that if our subject teachers allowed us then we can go. Our Subject teacher that time was Ms.Toribio we asked her and told us it was fine with her well in fact she was a second year adviser. Mrs.Ungos got mad when she knew we weren't in class and told us we will not be excused from the quiz she will be giving.URGH!
Afternoon came.One of the fourth year advisers, Ms. Casiple wanted us to perform first because she will pull out all the Theater Arts club for their DCOM. But we have to organize our presentation and we need a little polishing,we requested to present last thus, making her mad. When it was our turn to present, our tape got lost, some of the actors were pulled out and some of our props was destroyed. The participants from the Theater Arts Club escaped from Ms. Casiple just in time for our presentation.

Presentation:
They wanted to cut our presentation because it was already 3:45pm. I told them 3 scenes were left and pleaded good thing the librarian listened to us.

Awarding:
GOD IS GOOOOOOOD!
We WON!
Our lead actor won as the best actor and our other actor won as best supporting actor.
CONGRATS TO ALL SENIORS!
All the sacrifices were worth it!

Even if I wanted to scream "IN YOUR FACE!" to our advisers, I can't help but to thank them because their mockery, critism and discrimination helped us be determined to win. THANK YOU MRS. TEJADA, MRS. UNGOS && MS. CASIPLE.
