Curious

"We have a liga this coming foundation day. As well as the booths, games, and, entertainment. And of course the NMSU fireworks on the last night of our three day foundation ceremony."

Naghiyawan ang ibang estudyante dahil sa anunsiyo ni Ms. Roxas sa mismong gymnasium kung saan lahat kami ay pinagsama-sama.

The NMSU foundation day is where most of the students that is prone to fail will work hard to cover up, make up, and tamper scores with their plus points earned throughout the foundation. Of course, this is the season where we will be able to show the people coming from the outside what our strengths are.

"This is the exhausting part again," reklamo ni Lau na nasa gilid ko. Ayaw niya sa ganito dahil nakakapagod daw ay totoo naman.

We will make a booth again, just like last year. And that's really tiring.

"So what will be our theme for the upcoming foundation day?" Lyn asked. She's our class beadle.

A lot of suggestions emerged. Some say, gothic and others would say medieval or, baroque. I was less interested in it. I would know what my role would be. Last year, I was a waitress at our Harajuku styled café. Isa kami sa may pinakamataas na sale last year. Dahil pati si Lau ay nasama sa pagiging waitress.

"Lau, do you have any idea?"

Tumayo si Lau at humalukipkip. "Let's opt for dark themes this year."

"Gothic?" Lyn clarified.

"Haunted house," Lau answered.

I some reaction from our blockmates but they were positive. Hanggang si Boks, the clown of the class retorted.

"So may gagawin tayong manananggal?" he asked. He then pointed me. "Walang matatakot kay Mondiego, Rivas."

I chuckled. "Oo nga, baka bumaba ang sales natin."

"Nowie, could pull a medieval vampire look," sabi naman ni Lau. Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata pero kinibitan niya ako ng balikat.

"That's a great idea!" Lyn agreed as if she has something in mind. "So ano guys? Haunted house?"

"May mga dissected frogs naman tayong panakot. Maybe we can borrow all of it for the effect," suhestiyon ng isa.

"So haunted house it is. Any objections?"

"Wala." Sagot naming lahat.

I have nothing against my role in the upcoming foundation day. I'm even lucky to be included every year. All of my friends has their own specific role to play. Claire, will have practice after school for the marching band and she also has to practice for the cheerdance competition in which she will lead. Two of the Hinagos will play basketball for the Sports League between universities. Like UAAP.

Si Lau naman ay isa sa  mga mag-lead ng operations ng booth namin. Si Satari, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin niya ngayong year, last year ay naging mascot siya. So maybe she will do the same. At alangan namang magpaganda lang ako? Although that doesn't seem like a bad idea...

"Claire, would your practices be at the same time ng practice nila Anton at Rheese?" Satari asked her while we were having lunch. "The three chimpanzees offered me to be the temporary manager of the team."

Two of the Hiñagos will play basketball for the Sports League between universities, so Satari will support them. But the difference this year is that, not just as a cousin, but also as temporary manager of the team. Pero bakit tatlo? Si Rheese at Anton lang naman ang players sa mga pinsan niya. I don't want to conclude but... Sasali ba si Deo?
