Peacetahan, Ala School Fair
By Ruby Jean
Remember our school foundations days where fun was all around, moments were light and we passed by the day by just joking, playing and giggling like we were just kids? Those days gone by were relived last 04 Oct 2008, not with our schoolmates but with our Yuppeace Community. The Yuppeace annual anniversary celebration which is fondly called Peacetahan was conceptualized to be sort of a School Foundation Day style this year. Proceeds of this fun-filled event went BKBM .
The AVR which is already synonymous to Yuppeace regular activities, was transformed into a mini school ground. Banderitas were hung; game booths were set up for each Discipleship Group (DG). Artworks/art pieces of some Yuppeace were auctioned. I am sure they do cherish these items, but they gave it away for the love of the Community. The atmosphere was festive and spirits were high. There were even few children to grace the event.
All the while I thought we will be calling it a day already but our dear Fr. A gave a bonus – a dinner treat. The fun was continued at McDonald’s Greenbelt (a "not" so favorite meeting place for Yuppeace). To say I enjoyed the day is an understatement; I had a wonderful day with wonderful people.
By the way, as the saying goes that an adult must be child-like but not childish; I was not even sure if we have been only the former and not the latter during this year’s Peacetahan. Replaying the day’s event and pictures in my mind, I can truly say it was such a wonderful experience.

My favorite part was the Bingo — Fr A style, when we formed in line several times, like kids anticipating goodies from Halloween Trick or Treat. Finally a Living Rosary and Eucharistic Celebration highlighted the day’s celebration.
