Last Feb 8 was another day for fun in the sun at Mergrande. Last time, only the class of in Introduction to Scriptures and Johannine came here for their integration during the last semester. This time the whole community and the staff came for our own Community Recreation. It was also different from the last time when were joined with the staff since this time; the staffs did not bring their families. It was purely the community and the staff only. And we had the whole place for ourselves since it was a normal working day.
We left the house around 8:30am going to the place. However some went earlier to prepare for the food and the place. Still some seniors went late as they attend to important matters in the house. Upon arriving the people tried to fix their things and find a place to rest and just enjoy the day. Well this time the TOM had already arrange games for us to do while waiting for the food. They already put us also to different groupings for these fun games.
1st game was the “sack race” where each team should be represented by five members. The mechanics were easy. They just had to put in the sack and run to the obstacle then go back and pass the sack to the next player. Well it was not the usual sack race. In this game the sack is worn on the head while the players hop going to the obstacle. This was really a crowd favorite. It was group 3 who won this game.
2nd game was named “Mary Goes to town”. It was played putting the ball in between the legs while holding a crutch at one hand and balancing a place in the head. Then the player run to the obstacle and pass everything to the next player. Yet after the trial they took off the plate. Since we have only a pair of crutches care of Kuya Nards, only four teams can play. The crowd was really shouting wild at the players by this time.
The last game was the famous “pinaka” (the most), for group five. It was give away game so most of the group members of group five would have a prize. After the games the people went into groups for sharing stories and just wasting time with each other.
Then lunch came and we feasted on the bountiful foods that we brought and prepared thanks to our generous brothers and staff who prepared and cooked most of it even the night before. Still we keep on exchanging stories. After lunch each tried to find a perfect spot for sleeping and resting for awhile.
Still some were restless that they played volleyball making an improvise court and net while others dive to the waters of the beach. Some continued the fellowship with some bottles of beers. Still others swam in the swimming pool. It was a good day to relax and just waste time with each other. We left around 3:30pm by batches again. After arriving most really went strait to their beds and rest.
