Conquering inferiority...

August 18, 2009--- Buwan ng Wika... We don't have any representative in our course for the Talumpati Contest and we have only 3 days to prepare for dat day.. I don't have the chance to say "no" to my mates. As a leader, I have to do things which are against my will and decisions...I admit, I don't like public appearances.. My family and friends knows that!!

When I was in Elementary, I joined many contests, and I won everytime I join.. I didn't experience being a losser, I struggle so hard to win and to impress everyone in the family that I have a worth, that I can do the impossible. Why??? It remains a secret!!

The contest was held Tuesday, Do you know how stressful is that whole week for me&the whole team of BSBA? Here it goes...

August 13-- the first day of my Midterm exam.. so before that day, I study study study for the exam... I slept 3 hours, when I woke up, jump out of bed and fixed myself for school, my exam is 7:00 am, so I have to leave the house at 6:30.. yaurgghhh I almost got late!!! I hate the traffic...
That whole day exam is stressful.. very very stressfulllllll...
After the exam, With my friends, we went to the church to have a short prayer to St. Anne, hoping the exam would be OK.. I got home at 4:00 p.m. I prepared my dinner... Yes, Im the one preparing for my own meal.. the rice grains are there provided, sometimes the viand is not so I have to buy and cook it myself.. I ate my dinner, went to the office bringing my notes.. I studied in the office, working while studying.. At 9:30, I went out of the office and have a silent study in my room.... I slept at 2:30 a.m.

August 14... up again at 6:00 am, sorry no time to eat breakfast, I just took a bath and went to school, didn't get late... hehehehe.. having no breakfast can help.. a whole day exam again.. then the school announced the celebration of Buwan ng Wika, the team of BSBA met and decided who will represent on the contests... No choice, I have to follow the rules from the team president. And as a leader of our year, I have to represent the Talumpati competition... There's a conflict, they said that the previous winners last year are not allowed to join the contest.. I beg to disagree... hahahaha!!!! They posted the criterias 5 hours ago, I've read it and there's no such phrases or any proofs that they announced that the previous winners aren't allowed to join.. I won the Tamulpati contest last year, the other courses dnt want me to join.. only one thing that means... they dont want to be losser again!! hahahahaha..... my team just smiled and said.. let's go and get the prize...!

August 15, my god I have a sore throat>.. my head is aching to much, maybe because of the stress.. I took medicine as what my nanay texted me, but no relief.. I got a very very aching head, then I have a bad cough.. huhu.. how can i join the contest? I have only 3 day remaining to prepare.. I made a scheduling list... I did my 5 minutes piece for the contest.. I have a hard time doing it.. my head is really a disturbance I cant even concentrate.. I called up my mate, we met in the library, together, we made the piece.. we did it, but its just a 3 minute piece , I have to make a 2 minute expansion... No time left its already 6:00 pm.. I went home, the next day was Sunday

August 16--- I went to the office, Tita Arlene was there... I told her the problem about the contest. no piece, bad throat, coughing, headache.. what should i do??? She gave me a vapor rub... I rub it on my neck and nose, its better!!!

I went on finishing the piece, took medicine medicine medicine every3 hours.. I read the piece to her and she said its good enough.. Tomorrow, I will memorize it!!!

Augut 17, --- Monday.. tomorrow is the contest!!

I memorized in school, but still not good, I have some rough roads... I have some long pauses.. so I have to fix it.. Gladys was there, trying to make me comfortable, giving me advices on what to do..

When i got home at 5:00 pm, I hurriedly made my dinner and went to Tita nelisa, I memorized with her... then she slept, he has a duty that evening... huhu,,, I have to memorize it myself.. I was memorizing when Vic came.. he's from Miag-ao, its already 9:30pm. he said he hurried to came riding on the ceres to cheer on me.. wow.. that was touching,, hehehe... I memorized, he holds the notes giving me some hints.. tita jely and papa emek came by and listen to me while Im memorizing...

we slept at 11 pm...

Tueday, August 18-- the contest day... I very very sleepy, over fatigue, my mates give me some stresstabs.. I fixed myself.. oopppzzz.. i dont know how to make my hair good enough.. hehehe.. my cousin jenny fixed my hair, i fixed my very simple make up.. and after 30 minutes preparation.. Im done..!!

C O N T E S T!!!!

I went to the stage waits for my turn, ooppzzz, I forgot my vapor rub.. gladys was so alert and give me a rub.. hehehe... the contest started, Im afraid that Im going to cough in the mic, but thanks to santa ana, I made it... excellent performance!!! everyone is good but im satisfied with my performance..

After all the contest was done, The winners were announced... yay!!! I got the bacon home!!!! thanks to all who supported me...

BUT!!! its not over yet, August 19-20, is the sportsfest, we have to play basketball and volleyball, whether we like it or not...

huhuhuhuhu.. no time to rest...

with my cough and headache, I still played the very tiring game...
we made our best to join.. even though we didnt get the champ.. we'll just try again next year.. maybe outdoor games are not suited for us.. maybe in brainstorming and reengineering, we'll get the champ!!

maybe with numbers, essays, debates an exam, we'll be on the top but not on outdoor games.. I admit, I know how to play basketball and volleyball but Im not the MVP... at least I conquered now my greates fear.. inferiority....
