HAPPINESS, EXCITEMENT and SADNESS

HURRAY!!! Everybody are in their harmonious mood. There were smiles and greetings left and right..it is simply because it is the celebration of the much awaited 2009 SLU-LES Mini Olympics. Parents, friends, viewers flocked together towards the Baguio Athletic Bowl to watch the activities. There were cheering and streetdancing during the parade along the main thoroughfares of the city assisted by the BB-PICAG. At the venue of the olympics, there were four big tents and small tents installed. It was like a picnic mode; foods, snacks, drinks, fruits were brought for the whole day affair. There were also several booth wherein you can buy an additional food for what you already have. Finally, the competition has began! We are all excited and nervous about our kids performance, camera are clicking everywhere hoping to get the best shots of our kids. It was fun as a whole. The performances of the kids are excellent. Their hardship during the practices were compensated by clapping and appreciation of the crowd. BUT, in every game there is somewhat we call "loser". It is very unfortunate that my kid is one of them. I almost cried a river for my sympathy to her because I felt their feelings for not even getting a single award. Among the four groups they are the only one who are very silent. Everybody are screaming in happiness for getting different kinds of award. I must admit I was also hurt but I told my daughter it was just a simple game. What is important is she showed her best during the performance. In a game, some win some loose. That's the essence of a fair competition.
