Let us start with the usual first game, the flag raising competition. The game started with our team being the one leading the race. We thought that we're going to win first place when all of a sudden, the other teams were already tying their flags while we were still running back to the starting line to tap one more player. So in the end, we finished last. Sharing the same question as that of the other spectators, I also couldn't help myself ask, "What happened?"... Here's why, there should have been 10 participants in each team, we had 11... "partida"... hehe.
We were grouped to 4 color teams, ours was indigo or was it "indego". For a time being, I wasn't sure why the other teams were purposely mispronouncing our color that way. I though it was a tease as everyone were playing jokes and names about each others' team. Until I found the culprit, the prints on our players' shorts were misspelled as "INDEGO" (written in all caps). So our team had to bear it throughout the activity. Well, we took it as an advantage as everyone's helping us cheer our team, one way or another... "indego, indego... indego!!!". LOL.
As the final game was concluded, our team knew from the very start, that in every game there would be last. So we took the sacrifice, that others won't worry about it anymore... Nah, honestly speaking, we didn't win first place in even a single game. We were the only team not eager enough to see the results of points in the tally board. But the only consolation we got was we enjoyed each and every game we played, yeah!!! hahaha...
And then, the announcement of winners... the second place was named and so, the supposedly first place team was already celebrating when all of a sudden, the announcer said, "don't celebrate yet, you are not still champion...". HUH??? The officials were still not finished deliberating a protest of the other team. Guess what the decision was? I honestly don't know since I was not able to wait for it anymore. But I heard the call was reversed, and the formerly announced second placer became the champion...
What a fun, funny day, despite all the bloopers, we definitely had fun which I think is the most important thing. Yahweh bless.
