A Crack at the Spotlight

Our Program Directors assigned eight host teams for the whole course duration on our first day of meeting. Last Saturday was our first hosting engagement for the whole class.


Together with Iyah, Jigs and Abeth, we are HT #7. As host of the MC-B class, we came in early to prepare ourselves and our stuff for the day.


We rendered the Opening Prayer, a brief recap of the previous session and provided entertainment with two fun-filled energizers to the class.


Aside from that we also tendered morning and afternoon merienda for everyone. We served chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookies, tortas from San Lo’s Famous, various puto from Goldilocks, pancit sotanghon, canton and pork BBQ.


Everyone enjoyed the food and even the program directors from the other class came to munch with our goodies.


The only sad part for the day was that Erson, Cat and Edwin missed the class and wasn’t able to join in our Famous Person activity and our class picture. Nevertheless, we can still have another class picture next Saturday.

As for our next hosting gig, we will make it better and with more surprises for all! Go team!

Happy Square Root Day!

Today is 3/3/09 -- a rare kind of day where the day, and the month, are both the square root of the year.


It is only the 3rd Square Root Day of this millennium and only occurs nine times each century. According to various sources, it only happens when the numbers of the calendar align so that the month and day is each equal to the square root of the year as expressed in two-digit form. Check out the full article from CNN to read up on it!

The last such day was five years ago, February 2, 2004 (2/2/04). The next is seven years away, on April 4, 2016 (4/4/16).

Hooray to all the math-buffs!
