Enchanting Experience

It was 3 o'clock in the morning when my cellphone rang, the signal for me to prepare - dress up, comb my hair, brush my teeth, prepare my stuffs, and head on to the school to meet up with my classmates. It seemed that everyone was very excited to celebrate STI's 26th anniversary at Enchanted Kingdom.

When we arrived at the place, it was really crowded, every rides were occupied, and sadly we did not manage to try them all. STIers scatter all over the place. It was a good feeling to see new faces and old acquiantances from different STI schools. Though the weather was very unpredictable that day, everyone still had a great time. Who would not?

Few hours after lunch time, the Talent Search started. There were the Battle of the Bands, Hataw Sayaw, Solo Idol, and the much-awaited Mr. & Ms. STI where our very own Jasper Mariz Ishiwata competed along with candidates from other STI Colleges.

The dawning of the day became the opening of Enchanted Kingdom's new face. The lights were glowing everywhere and it seemed like it was a new place - different from what it was a while ago. What a beautiful scenery - we decided to take a walk.

And finally, the fireworks display. It was a great view; everyone gazed up at the sky and watched in awe. A good way to end the night. It was time to go home and everyone in the bus looked very exhausted.

Upon reaching home, I lay in my bed, tired yet happy. It was a hell of an experience I had there...
