Wazzup Pilipinas!
According to the
Merriam-Webster dictionary, staycation is defined as a vacation spent at
home or nearby. College is just a few steps away. It means that I will
be away from our house, so it was okay for me to spend the summer at
home. It may sound tedious, but trust me, I had tremendous memories last
summer.
Last May 12, 2013, my niece Lara celebrated
her first birthday. It was a children’s party, but I didn’t let my
children’s-party-pig side to hide. I took advantage of the food. I had
not only one, not only two, but four plates of food! Yes, you’ve read it
right! Four plates of delicacies, gelatin, pasta, hamonado, chop suey,
menudo, fried chicken, and of course, rice. The little guests
participated in games like Bring Me and Palo Sebo. I had fun hosting the
games.
I am glad to say that I spent four days of my
vacation at school. Yes, I did not go there to relieve myself from
stress, but I really felt great because I helped in cleaning our school.
I would not be there I were not an SSG officer, though. It was our
obligation to give a hand to our school, as student leaders. I must
admit all of my co-officers were not my friends. Four days is a short
time, but obviously, it was enough to bind us and prepare us for the
school year. Most of them are not serious people. I mean, they are
outgoing and weird. We had a lot of crazy moments which buzzed us out of
our seats.
