open house? what's that?

Have you ever heard of OPEN HOUSE? Well, this is an event where the residents of a dormitory or residence hall feature their rooms or the dormitory in general for the world to see.

Decorating the room may not be necessary. Simply tidying up the things may do. But for some, they rise to the occasion. They select themes for the event and blend their designs to it. They try to make their rooms attractive to the onlookers and they create "gimiks" or stand-out activities. They strive to make their rooms appealing not only the visitors but the judges as well. Judges? Yes, Judges. The activity is rated according to various categories and prizes awaits the winning room/s.

Last August 16 of this year, the Girl's and Boy's dormitory of MSH-College held its annual OPEN HOUSE. Everyone, anyone, friends or foe, came and visited each of the rooms of the dorm occupants. This year's theme was festive and each room was of a specific festival and decorations were in lined with their chosen theme.

The featured photo shows one creative "music festival" theme of one of the girl's rooms. They projected their inclination to music and art.

The downside of the activity though was, it was not well-advertised. Only a few came, in contrary to last year where hundredths of curious eyes filled the venue.

Hopefully, in the years to come, the dormitory of the college would continue to hold another OPEN HOUSE and my wishful thinking is that, many would support the event so to make it rewarding to those who prepared for the affair.
