VIGIL 2009! and boy, this wakefulness is more stressful than the first one.

This Janica right now folks is one who got stressed, frazzled, and exhausted for extreme want to sleep BUT IMMEDIATELY REJUVENATED :) Great huh? Haha!
On July 3, 2009 - July 4, 2009 the Vigil 2009 was held in our school. This was the second time I'd be part of the Vigil. There'd be quite a difference though. Before I go with that "difference" I'm talking about, let's get to what Vigil really is. In Wikipedia.org, it says that Vigil (from the Latin word vigilia meaning wakefulness) is a period of PURPOSEFUL SLEEPLESSNESS. Gee talk about that LOL :)) In our school, Vigil is considered a Scouting Activity. This is what students (or any people) have to attend to in order to become official and legitimate Rover Scouts. Hmm..some sort of baptismal to become REAL ROVER SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES :) Therefore, all of the people attending this activity are NOT OFFICIAL ROVER SCOUTS YET, and they will be, after this event occurs.ü There are also other schools participating in this activity, it's like more than 5 schools did. So in Vigil, there's lecturing, and boy LOTSA LECTURING STUFFIES. And then some roleplaying stuff, and ofcourse the confirmation that the students are gonna be real Rovers and Roverettes. SO THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE SLEEPING HERE. You'd be awake from 5pm of July3 'till 5am of July4 :)

Okay folks, now let's get to the "difference" I was saying a while ago. Alright, so this was the second time I became part of Vigil along with my fellow Rover Leaders. But before, the first time I became part of Vigil was in 2008 and I was only a regular student that would become an official Rover that time. So that time, along with my fellow students, we were only there sitting, listening to the speaker, joining and watching the roleplays, and one of those to be copying the notes. After that, we became real Rovers. And as Rovers of our school, we attended to our duties and responsibilities real well the whole schoolyear. And on March 26, 2009 all our hardworks were TOTALLY VALUED. On that day, I became one of the next batch of chosen Rover Leaders for our school! So now that we're already leaders, this Vigil wasn't like before. We wouldn't be sitting there, listening to the speaker, or even copying notes. This one was a heavy one. We were on heavy duty and we did a lot of things for this Vigil! It was tiring amigos. We were the ones who took care of almost everything! Some of us were on duty at the gate, some were at the gymnasium, some were at the projector, some were at the registration table, and others took charge in the neckerchief-folding. BOY IT WAS EXHAUSTING YET THIS WAS MORE FUN THAN THE FIRST ONE.
