On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
-Alter Bridge

lex, cam and i changed into our PE uniforms and headed up to the multi. we were early, the first three there. ms ajero saw us and called us. when we had approached her, she pointed to some poles on the side.
"tulungan niyo akong ilagay sa pwesto yung mga yan."
we obliged, not knowing the task was not as easy as we thought. when took of the hold of the poles and began to push and pull. they wouldnt budge. then we observed that there were no wheels underneath the base. but there were two wheels that were kinda sticking outta the side. after a minute of racking our heads, we finally realized we had to bend the post downwards so that we could wheel it into place. without it falling down on us, of course. i placed my foot against the base, took hold of the pole, gulped, then slowly pulled it down towards me. cam stood behind me catching the top of the pole to help support it. lex wouldve helped but... well, she had a bad arm. then we dragged, and i mean dragged, the pole to its place on the court. one down. we returned to do the same for the other. we thought we had finished when...
"o, yung kabila naman!"
our eyes widened. cam and i trudged to the other side of the stage. lex on the meanwhile set up the net for the poles already in place. we moved around several more poles, but those were easier since they had four wheels under the base, and set up the nets for those too. we were sweaty and tired, and the period hadnt even started.
after the warm up, we played badminton on the side, coz all the nets were occupied. what a bummer we didnt even get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. but we still enjoyed ourselves... combining badminton with a bit of tennis... bit of golf... bit of volleyball... and a whole lot of lunacy and laughs.

at the end of the day, loren came to lex. they had both been avoiding each other the whole day. i didnt see how it all happened... but i did see lex let loren touch her arm... at which loren immediately hugged her.
