It Happens Again!

IT HAPPENS AGAIN!       

Last year, there’s a event in which we seriously and hardly engage ourselves. The event that I was talking about is the Buwan ng Wika. Under this month, there are so many activities that we’ve joined, especially the Sabayang Pagbigkas. Before this month enters, upcoming activities were introduced in advance by our instructor in Filipino subject. He says that, if we have a place in the Sabayang Pagbigkas category, even in third place only, we will not have a midterm exam on him. Before the competition, we are pressured to make ourselves ready to participate. Thanks be to God that there is no classes but we are required to be present because our presence is a must. We suffer hunger, tired, thirst and when we are done practicing, we will reach home late in the evening because of giving time and effort to make our presentation well-prepared and beautiful. Unfortunately, we don’t have any place in Sabayang Pagbigkas category. After we know it, we feel lost, ashamed, acting like there’s nothing happens, just enjoying the show. But, there’s one thing that our section being alive again, it is when our instructor said that even though we didn’t get any place in the said competition, that it is enough for him to see our efforts on making our presentation be presentable, although it is quite presentable but it is not good enough to win, he said to us that even though we lost, we will not also taking midterm exam on him as he promise to the winners. What a experience.

Christian Living week, although it is a week, but it’s impact makes it a month. Why? It is because we learn a lot from this event and also a different experience that we experienced under this productive week. Like in Buwan ng Wika, we suffer also hunger, tired in practicing ourselves specifically in Christian Dance and Chorale Competition. Our section divided into to groups, the dancers and the chorales. We are also pressured on making this presentable, it is because it is sacred for us, that we are dancing for God and sings for God, that’s why it is sacred for us. In addition, the pieces that we’ve chosen to make choreographies is a special song of our church. Thanks be to God that this time our section proves that we can get also triumphs because we are better performers although were not champion but we know that God is happy for us because it is for him. You might ask, “Why sweet repetition?”. My answer to that is this, that these two unforgettable moments in our college life is quite same. That after we gain triumph, we face different unexpectable things such as reaching home late in the evening, suffering hunger, tiredness and many unexpectable things. For me, this happenings defines what sweet repetition really means in this article. Goodbye and Godbless.
