Hmm... Interaction. It's an 11-lettered word which means: to act on each other. That's what it is according to my dictionary. But I learned that it was something more.
What does interaction really mean to us?
According to Karla: Interaction is an opportunity to open new doors to welcome new friends.
She's right in that aspect! But somehow I want more opinions... Never mind. I'll add them when I get them.
Maybe I could get the answer to my question by simple narrating our interaction this morning with Claret.
===================================================================
We had our interaction with Claret last September 21, 2006. Hmm... I guess we really wanted to make a good impression on the Claretians. Hehehehe! Anyway, we made a lot of noise in preparing for the interaction. We were really excited! STC is an exclusive school, remember?! So, sorry for being excited.
Seriously, what's it with my class and late-comers?! The guys arrived a little late. That also happened last year with Ateneo, right, former II - 6 girls?! Anyway, we forgive them, because we really enjoyed it. First we had a few "getting to know you/ice breaker" activities. I guess we used this as a chance to chat and ask for each other's YM addresses! Hahaha! 
Back to the point... we really enjoyed each other's company! At least we Theresians enjoyed their company. I hope they enjoyed ours too...
Come intermission time... Nikki, Patch, Kim, Ivana, Steff, Barbs, and I were the dancers for the intermission. I really wanted to back out since I sucked big time! Ask anyone in III - 1, she'll tell you! Anyway, I'm glad I didn't quit. Our costume was our PE uniform with a jacket. I'm surprised that I wasn't booed out of the stage! Hahaha! .Then the band (Kimmy, Anel, DK, Kai, and Pae) performed next. First they performed Hiling by Paramita. Oh my gosh... Kimmy is the best guitarist I've ever seen! I really like the way Pae plays the drums... Rock on! \m/ Hahaha! Galing! Then the Claretians performed next. The band played lots of songs... Your Song, Crazy for You, Magasin... (Is that it? If there are more... Kindly correct me! 
After that awarding came. Maki and a guy named Miguel won the best mask award. (hahaha! M&M???) Then for Killer Smile, Karla and a guy named Carlo won. (Karla, Carlo? Compatible!!!! hahahaha!) Then Tina and Patch also won Miss Interaction (ata!) and Miss Congeniality respectively... I forgot how to spell the name of Tina's counterpart... (sorry...), but I know that people were shouting at him to kiss Tina or something like that! But a guy named Warren won Mr. Congeniality... I swear, he looks like Harry Potter or a male version of Karen. No offense Warren, if ever you read this! Sorry! Peace?!
Soon... the interaction was over... Aww... Why does time seem so short when you are enjoying yourself? We found our interaction too short for our liking! So afterwards, it was back to earth for us Theresians... I have to feel sorry for Mrs. Valencia though. She couldn't find a person who wasn't suffering from "interaction hang-over", as I call it. We were all asking each other whom we found cute, or who we liked a lot... Heheheh! Poor Miss...
====================================================================
Yeah, I guess Karla's definition interaction seems to hit the nail on the head, but I want to add something more. Sure, we may meet each other through interaction, but what happens after? Will the friendship last? Will the ties we made today remain, or will they be severed by time and distance?
I hope not. I know you're all screaming: THAT'S WHY WE HAVE YM!
The dictionary is partly right. We really do act on each other when we first encounter each other. But will we continue to interact with each other once interaction is over? I really hope so. I suppose interaction is the foundation of friendships, but it is up to us to build on that foundation to make it last...
