11.)Words that are more than words

                   “This is a love story...” this is the first line in the piece performed by Jemima Yucoco, Napoleon Labuson, and Cylord Palahang in “The art of Spoken Word Slam Poetry” that has been held in the room 415 in the Asia Pacific College last March 9, 2016. The event is contest in which the contest are to perform a poet whether it be free verse or with rhyme.

                      I wasn’t able to go to the venue early because I lost my track of time while watching the basketball game in the 11th floor that is why I don’t have the idea about the other contestants performance, but I’m able to go to the venue just before my block mates starts theirs. I was also able to watch the performance of the winner and the third place (hmp…seems unusual but worth it because I was able to watch the three best performances in that afternoon.)

                      Though I was there when Jem, Cy and Nap whenever they have practices. There is just that new experience whenever they start reciting that I feel. By the way, the piece is a composition by Ms. Nina and I think it is based on the love story of the three contestants (especially for Naps).  For the other contestants, I think they also did great, especially for the winner they are really awesome.
Aside from the good poems and the ambiance, I also loved the food that they serve (haha). They made it like it a Café or something. They are serving sweets (I am not a fan of dessert but the marshmallows I’m really craving for them).

                        The program is hosted by two members of the APC Speaks, and I think they are a great host because they’re able to set the place in the right mood.

                        Events like this should be done also in high school because engaging students in this kind of competition can really make advancement to the as individuals
