Pistang Journalist

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last September 3, 2013 was the closing ceremony of the 20th Division Secondary Schools Press Conference at the Division Office of Pasig. But it was also the day of our “Pistang Pinoy” in school. Even though we 

were anxious to find out who of us would get a medal in our individual categories, I couldn’t stop thinking 

about the Pistang Pinoy happening in our school. I wanted to go back to school so that I could eat, and 

celebrate with my classmates. But instead I was sitting inside a room sweating my nerves out, because of the nervousness. 

As the winners were being awarded it took some time before we heard on of out names being called, all-in-all we won in 11 individual categories and ranked 3rd among all the schools that joined. Sadly, I didn't win in any category but I still had a great time with fellow Pascians. It was my first time being with some of them, but it felt as is I've always known them. After the four day press conference, we not only became friends, but we became a family.

We hurriedly went back to school after eating lunch at KFC. But when we got to our different classrooms, our classmates were cleaning up, good thing there was still some food left. So Gee Ann, Gab, and I ate at the corner.

Just as we finished eating, we realized that this was our last Pistang Pinoy and the last time we would get to be with the rest journalism family. But then Gee Ann said, "Ano ba kayo? May 5 months pa!" 

I will never forget my journalism family, because they are the noisiest, most irritating, and most loquacious people I've met. And that's why I love them. 

Au, Jeje, David, Lucy, Lemuel, Marjhane, Angela, Ivan, Nicole, Shana, Lui, Lira, Cate, Gee Ann, Audrei, Gab, Raissa, Jazer, Shanney, Ms. Zuniega, if you're reading this, I want to say good luck to all of us for the years to come. Take care and labyu guys. See you soon. :)
