A Rollercoater Ride through the booths.

 The Estudyantepreneur activity at the SPTVE grounds was no less a wild ride of chaos that placed us on a rollercoaster ride of laughter. Allow me to guide you through the  madness, and trust me, you won’t want to miss out on the hilarious moments we captured.

First things first, the minute we stepped into the SPTVE area, we were met with a 1-peso entrance fee per people, 1 peso may not be anything much to others, but to us, it was the lowest amount of money to be able to get inside what would become a day of non-stop comedy. Fortunately, our friend Roman saved
the day, volunteering to pay the entry fee for all of us and we had to have a little fun at his expense.

Josh's former girlfriend just so happens to be the president of the TLE club, and guess who was responsible for stamping our hands with the official mark of approval? You bet. Josh was leading himself right into the fire. We couldn't help but make fun of him. As she stamped his hand, we could all see their fingers touching and ofcourse as students we couldn't help but laugh and tease him,. "Ikaw na ba si Mr. Right"? Guess what, we asked Roman to go and get his forehead stamped, and that had us all laughing hysterically. Si roman talaga, he is our source of unending entertainment. 

But that was enough of that mess—let's head into the booths! We went first to the electrics section. There were a few really neat games that we were all on for a while, but the big draw was the photo booth. Of course, we couldn't help but take a photo, and two of our friends Terence and Jayson volunteered to take a placard that read "Drug Lord" and "Pinatay yung Pinagseselosan." The experience was priceless, and yes, we took around five photos each just to ensure that we got every moment of the craziness.

Then we proceeded to the Beauty Care and Cookery booths. On our way into the New Heroes Building we first had to take a .5 picture.  On the Beauty Care section, the first thing I noticed were the nail artworks, so delicate and detailed, they were like miniature works of art. There was also an appliance that was said to improve blood circulation. And that intrigued me! They were providing manicures at the very affordable price of 40 pesos, something that some of us were willing to get until we knew we were short on time.

Next, we strolled over to the Cookery booth, but, yeah, it was packed like, really packed. We hardly got to see anything, so no photos were taken there. We didn't even have a chance to get into the booth. The mayhem continued when we attempted to push through crowds, but by this time, we were already excited to see what else the event had in store.

Then we headed to the Agriculture club, but "minalas kami" t was closed! We were late because we
were the last class of mrs. vera cruz, we were the only students who had the afternoon schedule, so we had to settle for just looking through the window before returning to the ICT room. Luckily, the ICT room was some relief with a viewing of the short film produced by the Grade 8 students titled "Eternal Sunshine. The film was THAT good. No spoilers for you, though, you'll have to see it yourself for only 5 pesos.

Day 2 arrived, and we were back for round two of the Estudyantepreneur madness. This time around, we sat through the last two movies, but, as you might imagine, they were so engrossing that we didn't even think about taking photos. By the time we made it back to the Agriculture booth, things were a bit more subdued, but still fun. Roman, being the risk-taker that he is, opted to try his luck at a dart toss. He dropped an entire 100 pesos on it (five pesos per two shots) and, believe me, he wound up taking a plethora of prizes. Naturally, he won school supplies because there is nothing quite so convincing that one is "winning at life" than a brand-new notebook and writing instruments.

By the end of the day, we were all tired, but in the very best sense of the word. From the 1-peso entrance fee to Roman's forehead stamp, the side-splitting photo booth experience, and the throng at the Cookery booth, it was a day of memories to last a lifetime and belly laughs galore. It wasn't an event, it was an experience, and one that I would trade for nothing.

So, if you ever get the chance to visit the Estudyantepreneur event next year, I highly recommend it. Just be ready for the chaos, the fun, and the inevitable embarrassment of having your forehead stamped instead of your hand!
