CAS week

Finally the long wait for the TUA CAS week is over. There would be no classes for 3 days and during those days where we had to attend some of the activities in the CAS week(where we were obligue to attend) we can wear our wash day clothes.
The CAS week(college of Arts and Science) is full of fun filled activiteis. Theres the Mr.& Ms. CAS personality, sportsfest, B2B bingo, cake raffle, the amazing race, the cultural night, and lots more. All those activities includes both the faculty & the students. All courses in the CAS (Legma, Psych, Masscom, & Comsci) are part of the program even their professors participated in the program.

During the opening service(I was not able to attend) there was a Mass held at the Patio Trinidad. After the ceremony there was a lecture series( again I did not attend so less detail) which was held in the Mandell hall auditorium and there were 2 speakers which was Dr. Eva S. Villanueva and the guest speaker was Dr. Benilda Santos I heard that the speakers were really facinating and that the talk was not boring at all. After the lecture series around 5 pm the Mr. & Ms. CAS personality begun which was held at the campus gymnasium. We were kinda disappointed that our bet for the said competition lost but but still the winner came from our department and that our favorite contestant won some awards.

On the next day the activities started as early as 9 am. When I got to school I immidietly went to the gymnasium. The first activity that we (me together with me fellow trinitians) watch was the parade. After the parade they officially opened the sporsts fest though the sports competition already started a couple of weeks ago. After the opening ceremony the cheerdance competition took place, there were only 3 competitors for this competition:the blue team which was the psych students, the green team which was the comsci students and the pink team which includes the merge of the masscom and legma students the psych team won but the one who brought the crowd into the limit of their laught was the comsci team(they were all boys)and ofcourse the masscom team was also gave their best. After the cheerdance competition at 11 am they started the basketball tournament it was between the masscom team and the faculty team.

During the tournament (wich we watch when it was at the 2nd quarter) I notice that it was really a hot fight between the 2 teams. The gymnasium was starting to be filled with students who does not even belong to CAS, they were cheering for both team. The court was starting to heat up the students forgot that they were competing agauinst the faculty which were also their professors. The tournament was hosted by MR. Cantal and Nina( masscom professor and masscom student). Sir Bon was the crowds favorite for the faculty team not only because of his looks but also because he was one of the best players for the faculty. While in the other team (the massom ponkan team) the highest pointer was De Castro who had his head heated up during the tournament. It started when one MCO player got hit by the aculty ball in the face(it was unintentionally) that what brought the heat on the game, because De Castro thought it was intentionally done by the faculty. The heat didnt stop there another thing that brought the commotion inside the court is when one player entered the court and the MCO said that the player was not part of the line up, but still the player was justified to be in the line up and that he was allowed to play. The game ended with the score of 91-90 in favor of the MCO giving them the 3rd place spot in the CAS basketball tournament. The faculty then showed that there were on heart feelings and even took pictures with the MCO team. After the basketball tournament the B2B bingo sosyal and cake raffle took place inside the campus gymnasium thought I didnt watch this nor attend this activity I heard that there were alot of students who won the raffle. After the raffle and bingo a few hours later the Cultural Night started. We were expecting the Cultural Night to be like our JS prom were the students would party but we thought of it wrong. The Cultural Night is the Night where we can see all our profesors become versitile. We saw them dance sing and everything. The program has alot of activities where there were the "celebrity duets" concept and the sing and dance contest of each faculties and professors. For the celebrity duets where the professors sings together with their choosen students, mr. velesques together with his partner took 3rd place, Mr. Cantal and Shane Herramis took 2nd place(they were our bet) and lastly it was mr. Caleb and his partner who won the 1st place. For the sing and dance competition of each faculty I didnt exactly know who won but what I know is that its was the dept. of humanities and letters who got the crowd out of their sit and kjam with them. All and all there was no dull moment in the program all had fun.

The final day of celebration arrived but still its was filled with alot of activities. At the beginningthere was the amazing race where I heard the faculty won. The volleyball championship for but male and female took place. For the volleyball(wich i watch) the Psych team won the championship for the girls and its the MCO team who won the championship for the boys. After the volleyball tournament the basketball championship between the psych A team and the Comsci team took place. Though i wasnt able to attend all the activities cause I was not in school all day still got information about what happend.

Now that the CAS week is over its back inside the classroom for all of us. Well we will just wait for the University week to arrived so that we could also join some of the programs. Sorry for the lack of photos it could not fit in my blog!!!=]
