A word from Gyean;
This school year’s field trip is truly memorable one. I can single out that both my visit at Mt. Makiling and my adventure in enjoying a ride at Enchanted Kingdom. The Rio Grande as my unforgettable experience that particular fun-filled day. It was quite an experience when I set foot and seeing the attractive sight of Mt. Makiling. As I’ve said a while ago, it’s my first time to see the famous mountain. My cousin who is a member of a mountaineering group in their school told me that Mt. Makiling is the first mountain he had climbed. They stayed there for about 2 - 3days. He even told me that he had some scary experience in that mountain during their stay. The thought of those “stories” makes me feel somewhat excited when I first saw the fascinating view of the mountain. Being there personally, I was able to put myself into the story my cousin had told me and imagine what would happen if I was there on top of the mountain alone…. SCARY!!! But generally, I am captivated and mesmerized by the natural beauty of the mountain. In Enchanted Kingdom, I can’t forget my experience in riding that because I might faint or vomit. But the adventurous side of me overcomes the fear inside me. I, together with my kind and “cool to be with” teacher, Sir Jason, my closest friends Dominique, Marielle, Veralyn, Juvelyn, Angela, and Kathrina go for it and had fun riding RIO GRANDE. I was wearing shoes, shirt, and jeans and much to our surprise we are all wet from the splashing water that hit our “cabin” we are riding. Unfortunately, I have with me an extra shirt only, I was not able to bring along an extra jogging pants and slippers that’s why I went home with my wet jeans and shoes on. The following day, I am down with a fever and did get a lot of tongue lashing from my mom for being unprepared before going to a trip like this. It was such an unforgettable experience….. hehehe….

A word from Kathrina;
"One of my unforgettable experiences was waiting for our turn to ride the Rio Grande Rapids in EK and we waited there for 1 hour! That 1 hour was really worth the wait because we really enjoyed riding in Rio. While we, Gyean (my partner) Angela, Juvs, Dom, Marielle, Vera and Sir Jayson are still waiting for our turn, there’s this guys who were trying to embarrass us in front of many people because of our friends who tried to cheat in the line and they we’re like… “oooh, Siena, Catholic School, Be honest” we didn’t took that seriously but instead, we made fun of them, we keep on saying…. “Hey Guys! Be honest!” other people were staring at us but we didn’t cared about it but instead, me and Dom even danced the steps that our ancestors taught us and it really makes me smile whenever I remember those times. Rio was the only ride that I got the chance to ride on because my favorite rides have so many people who were waiting their turn to ride on it. I still remember how exhausted I felt on that day even though I only went to one ride, we were in EK for 5 hours and the other 4 hours was walking and arguing with them whether which ride to go on to, and the 1 hour was on Rio. Oh! And I also remember how wet I am after I rode Rio! My socks were sooooo wet and I just got the chance to change my clothes when I got back in the bus. Oh how I wish I can go back to those times. It really is one of my favorite days. I miss the fun and the craziness of the people who I was with"
