PALAKASAN 2012

I wanted to come up with a better and catchy title, but I realized that it's my last Palakasan in IIT and I wanted to be straight to the point. After months of waiting, weeks of preparing with intense training and some days of cramming the Palakasan 2012 finally arrived and has now ended. What a fleeting moment. We lost so many sports events to unexpected competitors but still, we held on. We did not give up and we did not let this minor (OK maybe not so minor) bump get us down. And in the end, we prevailed. We won:

• 2nd Place in Badminton Women's category
• 4th Place in Sepak Takraw
• 2nd Place in the Quiz Bowl
• 4th Place in Wannabe
• 1st in Creative Dancing
• 1st in Chamber Theater (which I was a part of, I was the one holding the door and helped with the script a bit. Did I mention that we are the very first college to win this newest literary event?)
• MS IIT 2012
• 1st Runner-up in MR IIT 2012 (Our candidates are siblings, writing this down coz I wanna remember it)

And a couple more awards I forgot! But most importantly, despite our very little population of less than 500 students... We rank 3rd place in the overall results tied with CSM! Twas all thanks to the students and faculty and staff of the college that we were able to yet again reach 3rd place. ONE BIG BITE!

Now that the Palakasan has ended, we are now back to reality meaning... Classes, Exams, Duties, Review, and a Thesis paper to continue on. It was fun while it lasted, up next CON WEEK! We may have worked united through Palakasan to reach our goal, now it's time to compete among ourselves to hone our skills for another battle next year. :)
