INTRAMS, a day that everyone in our school is excited about, I hear many people talking about it, planning about it and overall students have been buzzing about the event as soon as the teachers have announced that intrams were upcoming in the week. I have also been excited yet dreading it as well because I was afraid I would let my team down but before that we were told by our moderators that we could pick any game we wanted to play and so I chose the ones I’m decently good at which was chess, dance and a larong Pinoy (labu-labu). I was nervous but my father was there to help me train in chess by playing the board game with me.
When I played chess on preliminary days I was winning until Jilliane one of my smartest and beautiful classmate had defeated me on the game though there was no bad blood between us after my loss. I also played against a grade seven girl and we became acquainted after the match, my best friend, rhea, also competed with me yet lost against me - but the first day of intrams the teacher had announced that we all had tie scores so we needed to play again, we did and luckily I won all of my matches! It was thrilling to play chess again in a long time and I had fun because I learned a lot by playing with my opponents.
The larong pinoy game was also a very fun experience, it was hot day but I felt ready to run and play with the others even if we don’t win I still wanted to have fun with the team against us - When we were finally playing, some team members were getting out and I was the only girl left in our group but sadly I didn’t last long because I was hit by the ball after someone also got hit by the ball - which was cool that someone had managed to hit two people at once but also devastating because I couldn’t play anymore although I did cheer for my team and be supportive as much as I can. We sadly don’t have pictures as well as myself subbing in a volleyball & basketball game but I hadn’t joined because we were too busy making props for our dance (palabas).
On the good news! We won the basketball boys team and also I was placed in second place for the chess competition which was all not too bad as long as I had fun and learned a lot, that is what matters to me the most. I cheered for my team the best I can by shouting very loud and exclaiming positive affirmations to them so that they won’t get discouraged and instead have motivation in playing the game and the results of my cheer and my talented teammates won their game in the end which made us all very happy! the results came on the third day of our intrams event after we all danced on our performances, they had announced that the Gold team had won, and that made me sad a little but I lightened up my mood because intrams is all about learning and experiencing new things that you want to play or that have piqued your interest - we are suppose to have fun and give effort and show determination in playing the game so in the end your hard work will pay off. although we didn’t win I am still grateful that I was apart of competing contests and competitions because I truly had fun and have experienced and improved my skills in the end, so it was a great journey while it lasted.
