The UIC-ITE Foundation Day

IMO, the best party in UIC ever...so far...hehehe





Last week, July 25, at exactly 8.30 in the morning, I arrived at the UIC Bajada and started walking to the gym when the Motorcade of our program, the ITE, also came in the school during the same time from the main campus. My classmates were the first and leading unit in the parade. The party started at 9am with a Eucharistic mass followed by typical cooperative games which includes the sack race, Maria went to town, etc. The ITE was divided into teams --White team (my team), purple, orange, green, etc

The games were so energetic and hyper. The crowd was so cheerful with their representative players. They were growling, screaming, and shouting their cheers. Some are laughing out so joyfully because of so much enjoyment.











At 12.15pm, the morning party had ended. Unfortunately, our team didn't bagged any places in the games. I can't remember what team won the games but congratulations to its members. The Program officers, the third year students and the Circle of Class Presidents (COCC) remained in the gym to clean up the mess while the others have already gone to their homes for the preparation for the night's activity and the most awaited and anticipated party of the day, the Masquerade Ball.

After the cleaning, we all went home to prepare to the night's party. I and my classmate decorated our masks here in our house for 30 minutes. After the preparations, he went home and I gave myself a rest. When I woke up, I bought Kiwi to my neighbor's store to shine my shoes. After, I took a bath and dressed my attire. My classmate, Loren, arrived to our house because we planned on going to the venue together with my 2 other classmates. However, these two classmates of ours arrived in our house late. The rain fell down and we hastily run in to the taxi. When we arrived at the gym, several waiters were there holding umbrellas to assist us. It was like Hollywood and we seemed like celebrities with the red carpet on the entrance. LOL. We are so blessed at that time because we still arrived at the party amidst the heavy rain.






At 6 or 7pm (not so sure), the Masquerade Ball started. The cameras were everywhere flashing all around. The ball's Masters of Ceremonies were the famous DJs of Killer Bee 89.1 Davao namely Rod Rodriguez and Joe Fisher. Several bands played the hottest musics of today amusingly while some screwed up a little. At 7.30, dinner was served in buffet style. We were so full and again posed for the picture takings. After few dance numbers, was the disco craze. It was a 2-hour non-stop dancing. The gym was filled with human heat and sweat. It was so fun dancing especially in a group where showdowns happen and dance-floor masters control the steps of your dance. OTOH, there were people in the stage who made vandalism that caused the Dean to not let a foot step on the stage. After the disco was the awarding which includes the best mask for male and female, the lady and gentleman of the night, and others.











At exactly 9, the party ended and obviously the students hasn't had enough yet of the night. They were still continually taking photos all around the gym. Most planned to go to beer houses and bars. I and few of my classmates went to one of my classmates' house to continue the night. We had fun their by drinking liquors and began feeling so drunk. I went home at 4am on the meantime puking and puking. Hehehehe...




It was a totally enjoy night for the majority except to the KJs and OAs. It was the first Masquerade Ball in the history of UIC. Congratulations to the ITE program for another first in UIC history. Hope that the foundation day will be so memorable not only in our minds but also in our hearts.
