• Nutri-Quiz Bee
• Essay Writing 
• Manual Poster Making Contest
• Electronic Poster Making Contest

As a community service activity, we will also conduct a Disaster Survival Cooking Demonstration that will instruct the parents living in flood zone areas on how to prepare nutritious meals out of limited available resources during calamities.  

The Poracay Escapade

I know this is a bit too late, but still let me share this experience when we went to Poracay Resort in Porac, Pampanga last May 25.

At first, I was kind of indifferent about the idea of joining my colleagues in this outing that I would rather stay inside my room and read my philosophy books. But, the social animal inside started to creep in and I just found myself packing my things for this summer trip.

And I was right… this was one of the best summer escapades I've ever experienced (though I seldom join this kind of event). I was indeed so thankful that I didn't miss this chance to bond with my fellow teachers.

The most exciting part about this Poracay escapade was when I, together with Leila, tried to experience Hydro Zorbing… All the while, when we were buying our tickets for this amenity, we were thinking that the ride is just a kiddie thing... we will just roll inside a big inflated zorb balloon while floating in a shallow pool. But we were wrong. When we saw the facility for hydro zorbing, we were both shocked how steep the slope where the zorb balloon will roll down to the pool.

I was about to tell Leila if she would like to quit and refund our money, but I can see how eager and excited she was for this… “Great! I am also up to the challenge!” and yes I declared this with a very shaky voice. LOL :D

Before Hydro Zorbing...

And this is how we rolled...
