Ending the Last Field Trip with a Memorable Experience

Hi, my name is Abraham Carl Militar. A grade 12 student of CDN Science High School, this is my second blog this senior high. The last time I made a blog was of course last year when I was in 11th grade. The blog will focus on an extra-curricular activity, just like last year, the senior high school field trip. A little hint on what to expect, it was obviously fun, memorable, and fatigue inducing. Can’t spoil my so called “comprehensive review” at the start, anyways, let us begin!

-12 hours before D-day, November 29, 2018

I am really hyped for this event since it serves as the last field trip of my entire high school before graduating to college, so I needed to make the most of it. We were all preparing for the upcoming field trip. Our teacher gave us the necessary info of what to expect and what to bring so that it would not be a hassle just like last time. 5:00 will be our call time, we were require to bring snacks and a type a uniform for the CCP show. After class, I immediately slept…. at 11:30 pm.

4:00 am

I woke up 30 minutes after my alarm went off so I needed to really hurry before the bus leaves, not that I am expecting that the bus will actually leave at 5:00 but just to make sure.

5:13 am

I arrived 13 minutes late, but as expected, I was one of the very first STEM students to come. Starting from this minute up until the time we left. Brian and I started recording videos for our Vlog and MIL, it was a decent start.

7:00- 8:00 am

We arrived at our first destination, the famous Art in Island. This will be the second time i went here, it feels nostalgic to be back. As expected, nothing has really changed, except for one. While inside the museum, we took pictures for the assignment. While also taking pictures because of how good it is.

After that, we went to the center of the large room where a new feature that i didn't know or expect occurred, a light show. This light show focuses on the story of the bible while using illusions for it to be immersive. It was really breathtaking and it serves as a great start for the first destination of our field trip.
10:00 am

We went on to our second destination which is located inside trinoma. This will be my first time for the past few years to visit the mall again, so i am really excited on how big this mall will be. After a few minutes we left our bus only to wait outside until the mall opens. We then shoot some videos for our project in MIL that will focus on our destination, the ABS-CBN interactive studio! I've done some research regarding to what we will expect.

We went to the studio, to my surprise, the entrance looks like a Hollywood theatre. Unfortunately we need to leave again the studio will open at exactly 1 pm. We also had lunch and play at the timezone area inside trinoma, it was very exciting experience.

1:00 pm

The ABS-CBN interactive studio is finally open! We went inside and it blew my expectations... Both positive and negative. I really expect that this will be a very big area but unfortunately it is not, oh well. The studio is filled so many entertaining areas that will make you feel like your in one of their studios! It was so enjoying, and for the first time, i finally tried the very first AR/VR game, its a super immersive and brilliant experience. There's also one area that you will be in a multiplayer match between 2 sides, it was so good that we went there twice. I almost forgot that we needed to shoot some footage for our project, good thing i shot some, only a few. One thing that made me a bit disappointed is the lack of time, it ruins the fun. Over-all it's a destination that i really wanted to go back to, it's super super memorable!

4:00 pm onwards

I'll be honest, It all went downhill at least before the final destination. I'm actually a bit disappointed that we missed one destination, the national museum. But i already moved on, and I hope that the final destination will be a gigantic comeback. As for now, we're in standby mode near Luneta park, inside the bus just waiting. This is the boring part of the field trip.

*but i accepted the fact that we didn't know that the museum will close earlier than expected.

7:00 pm

We arrived at our last destination, the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The CCP will be holding it's 49th season of ballet, its show is called "Snow White", a very promising show. This is the second time we went to CCP, but i felt that this is absolutely different than before. I'm really excited since we will witness a musical ballet featuring Snow white, and many many more. It was mind-blowing at the start and it gave me chills down to my spine. It's something memorable, it made me happy that this serves as the icing on the cake to this final field trip that will be remembered for a very long time.

Over-all, this field trip is full of ups and downs, misshapes and mishaps. Though it was very memorable and mind-blowing. This serves as the final Goodbye to this school year.
