Students from the University of the Philippines High School in Cebu belongs to different clubs. This includes Math and Science, NETizens, Tambuli, Glee, Jazzers, UPSTAGE, UPAC, and the famous organization, the Stargazers Society .Members of this club are also known as Stargazers. It is composed of all year levels starting from the Freshies up to the Seniors. As far as the UP system is concerned, the Stargazers Society has the most number of members. Professor Erlinda Gallo is the adviser of this organization. This club holds overnight activities for gazing different stars or constellations up in the sky.
Last February 2, 2007, the Stargazers Society held an overnight stay in school. It was not my first time to join in the said overnight because I am not just a member of this organization but I am also an officer specifically P.R.O. I was loyal member to this club, I stayed for three years already. And since my membership on this coterie, I have not missed any stargazing activity yet.
The overnight activity is usually done from seven o'clock in the evening of Fridays and ends on six o'clock in the morning of a Saturday. It always starts with a lecture forum at the LEADER with Mr. Cristopher Go. With the lecture forum, students has the chance to ask all the questions about astonomy and for sure, Mr. Go can give the answer you want. After this little talking sessions, the Stargazers are free to do anything they want to do. They can either sleep talk, eat, watch movie or even play a game. Hey, but no PDA (Public Display of Affection) please. That's a school violation. Anyway, let's go back to our topic. It is up to the students if what will they do for the rest of the night. But most of those who join the overnight prefer not to sleep instead they want to spend the night talking and playing with friends and classmates. But for the first time because of tediousness, I almost spent my whole night for sleeping. For the previous stargazing, I had no time for sleeping because I enjoy the night hanging out with friends. It didn't happen last Friday because only a few of my batchmates and close friends in school joined the said activity. Before, we usually sleep at three or four in the morning (Saturday time), so we only havefew hours in sleeping. Even it's fun not to sleep together with friends but it also has disadvantages. One of these would be the lack of sleep. Imagine yourself sleeping for only two hours instead of the required eight hours. Well of course, I am sure that when they reach home, they will sleep again to regain energy after the strenouos things you have done last night.
The Stargazers Society is looking forward for another overnight activity. The good thing is that we will not be holding it inside the campus but outdoors already. Yipee! We will be doing the activity at the University of San Carlos. We, especially the Seniors, were very happy upon hearing the good news because at least before we graduate, we will have another time together to enjoy our stay in UP..
The overnight activity is somewhat like a bonding activity with others. It is where you meet and get to know each other more. It is one of the objectives of this club to get along with others. Isn't that essential?
I am proud to be a member of this one-of-a-kind club. I never had regrets that I joined in.
