Baby Yellow Jackets

On my previous post, Softball—Monday—3:00-5:00, I finished the post going home singing the cheers. But that wasn’t the end of my day. Upon arriving home, Charis, Janina, and Ate Aira was all present. Kumpleto talaga ang Pacific barkada.

Janina was lying down on her bed in the middle of the room while Charis was reading her Filipino book for some advance reading. I arrived very exhausted due to the happenings in my PE course.

Janina asked me what significant thing happened to me awhile ago. I answered that I enjoyed the cheering lessons with the Yellow Jackets.

So, she remembered the cheers as I answered her question. She shared pa nga her experience too. Then, nagkasundo na kami. Nag-patalbugan na kami ng mga alam naming cheers. Until nagkaaminan na parehas naming gusto maging member ng YJ’s.

Sabi ko sakanya, mag-audition kami! Kasi parehas naman kaming game. Ewan ko na lang kay Charis. Ang Trip nya ata eh yung maging Tiger Mascot. Hahaha.

So, in chorus na kaming nag-ccheer na UST cheers and yells. Nakakahiya nga kay ate Aira kasi ang feeling talaga namin! Hahaha

Nagbagsak nga pala yung shower curtain naming tapos hindi na makabit ulit. Basta mahirap. Ginawa naming yung props ni Janina para may grand entrance si Charis sa aming mini-cheering squad. Nilagay naming yun a top ng bed ko , covering Charis’ bed.

Yung tipong Theatre Arts curtain and drama! Haha, tapos, yellow pa yung shower curtain…PERFECT!

So, nag-banyo na si ate Aira, it’s time for the rehersals. We called our cheering squad, Baby Yellow Jackets.

Actually, two lang kami ni Jan a Baby YJ’s…si Charis yung Tiger Mascot. Ang kanyang gagawin lang ay ang mag sabi ng, “rawr! Rah! Rah! Rah!”

We had several tries kasi we kept laughing. Nahuhulog man kasi kay Charis yung shower curtains kaya nakakatawa. Tapos, ang lakas pa ng boses naming, dinig hanggang kabilang kanto! Whoa.

Meron pa nga kaming intro bago mag cheer at i-reveal si Charis the Tiger Mascot.

We cheered, Go! USTe!, Ganaremos, tapos censored UST hymn (hindi kasi naming alam yung lyrics) kaya actions na lang.

Grabeh, ang saya talaga! Tapos pagod na pagod pa kami. Whew!
At least, we’re ready for the auditions kahit nakakahiya ang mga pinaggagawa naming.

Natigil nga lang kami nung lumabas na si ate Aira sa banyo…mukha na kasi kaming walanghiya pag nag-cheer pa kami sa harapan nya. Wahahahah!

But I noticed ate Aira was smiling when she got out from the CR…most probably because of our rehersals. Natawa siguro sya…tapos hirap pa nyang pigilin.

Vamos! Tigres! El Champion!

Akala nyo plain cheers lang…hindi noh!
Pati actions pinatulan na namin.
