Math - it's really a complicated thing.

I will definitely cherish this. I know I will. After all, I was the audience. I am not going to sweat at all. And finally, for the first time in my tragically written high school life, I enjoyed Math.
Although, this one is disappointing for that matter - I didn't do the solving and all, that's why.

It was Math Festival, I must tell you.

I might exaggerate things, so before I can tell what I have witnessed on stage, this is a warning. If you don't want some embellished words, then so be it.

Our stage was filled not only with people but also anticipation for what is in store. And as we start with the proclamation of some unrelated thing (King and Queen of Science), it was again time to appreciate the power of Math, yadda yadda... Then I realized that I cannot recount the events that had happened the morning because I was too busy laughing at what's on stage... except that Pam and Morris sang on stage as a number.

But I guess the morning part did not really serve as important. It was some kind of introductory part, therefore, the afternoon part was the main event. But I am going to tell you what happened before it.

Summer and I were wandering around the school looking for Migs, when we saw the Juniors' representative for Math Trail. I am trying so hard to keep on following them - I really am excited with trails and all, but I had no luck.

Quiz bee. Every contestant was under pressure, I think. I was also under pressure that time. But in due time I went away, I don't want to spoil myself - I'd rather have my classmates Eula, Shane and BJ (our representatives) to tell me personally, rather than I would know myself. If they won, then instantly I would greet them. If they lose, then it would be very fine. I could not have participated better.

They lost. But I really didn't care about their place anymore. I know they're very smart.

So, in the advent of another collaborative event in the afternoon, The Math Jingle competition happened. Singing Mathematician happened. Ginoo and Binibining Sipnayan happened. I was very overjoyed with all of them. I can see the biggest smile from Migs, as well as the eyes of Kit, confirming a delighted joy.

So, in Math Jingle. Jirah was the leader, of course, and I have a pretty good feeling they'll win this. And from the looks of it, I was halfway right. Juniors' performance ate my sadness away, and then I bet on it they'll win. The Seniors were a great threat, though.

Up next, Singing Mathematician. Ryiel, a qualified confidant, was picked for the contest. He sings very well, perhaps you can compare it to Alexander Max Band ( I recommend you listen to Only One and Take Hold of me, and Tonight they're the best I've heard). Yeah, as a friend, there's a part of me that loved it because I'm a friend and the jealous part that wished I had a voice like that. Nevertheless, when he sang... well, the results were pretty erratic.

Then, Ginoong Sipnayan. I really don't want to talk about this... all the more elaborate. I am pretty much bitter because of Jamich. Well, if you talk about Jamich at school they'll say Jam and Michael. But when it comes to me, I only remember Jamvhille and Paoline ( I saw them personally - they're kind of celebrities, uh-huh.)
So, everything turned out fine. As expected, Michael almost got everything except popularity, and Jam went 1st runner up. The former said was proclaimed Ginoong Sipnayan. And although it somehow did not concern my thoughts anyhow, I felt proud, knowing they're both cool and juniors.

As for Math Jingle, I guess every junior was dismayed when Seniors got the title, Juniors went as second. And for the Singing Mathematician, Ryiel was third. Nice try, but I know he can sing so much better.

For the supplementary contests; Jazzel landed third place in poster making (She's absolutely perfect; who in juniors could have done better?), Quiz bee was mentioned a while ago, and the Math Trail - Juniors went last. Oh, and SUDOKU! Joseph turned out to be second place. I admire him for that; I never finished any puzzle.

So that's pretty much how our one-day Math Festival, on November 29, 2011, Tuesday, (Happy birthday, Jestine, I missed you then; why did you get sick?!) ended. Mathematicians rock and roll, and everything turned out fine. I told you I remember this. Thank you very much.

But seriously? I don't get high grades in Math. My averages for the first two grading periods were both 92. So, don't expect me to join Math-related stuff of contests. Ugh.

Whatever. Just solve Algebra to really feel what I feel. Because honestly, I don't know what I feel for this event, too. I am not even sure if this is something of a worthwhile event. But this is good, really good. So help me stop telling anything more.

Okay.
