Frolic-Ing Memories

The most anticipated event in San Beda College, known to be the Frolics, is the perfect occasion when my high school friends and I have our own way in celebrating it as a fun-filled reunion.

San Beda’s Frolics brings a way of celebrating the Feast of Santo Niño from its looks to the activities it offers. From the entrance of the school to the entire campus, you can see the red and white trimmings decorating the whole place. The chants used for cheering like the Indian Yell and Stand on the Grandstand are played all over the campus to signal the opening and to welcome the students and guests to this event. The food stalls were enthralling and the food they served were mouth-watering. Moreover, there was a mini-amusement park assembled for this event, where everyone has the chance to enjoy rides such as the caterpillar and giant slide. Besides these, the Frolics also caters to a lot of activities like a car show and a motorcade of athletes and some of the popular faces of San Beda College that will go around town of Taytay. It is also at this time that the freshmen will have their field demo with the theme of the Maskarra Festival. Indeed, Frolics is definitely an event to look forward to.

My high school friends and I are really excited about Frolics. We plan 2-3 weeks ahead in preparation for the much awaited event, the Frolics. The entering of the motorcade signals the opening of the event, and we, together with the other Bedans, are part of this. Then, we entertain the guests whom we have invited from other schools, particularly from Assumption Antipolo, which we find very interesting. We mingle with them by joining them “enjoy” those thrilling rides. The roaring of the engines, the beating of the bass and tha dancing of the neon lights indicate the start of the car show which all of us are waiting for. We get the chance to have a glimpse with these hot rides. Lastly, out of all these activities, Frolics ends with a thanksgiving mass in honor of Santo Niño...
