Speechless

this goes out to two of the most wonderful persons i’ve ever met..  

Happy Sweet Sixteen,

ATE JOSEPHINE and ATE ANGELA.

hahahahahahahahaha. some needed emphasis must be put on the "ATE"s. it just goes to show how much everybody’s getting freakishly old, and in so little time. the thought of you being sixteen must be overwhelming. the satisfaction of being older than most of your peers must be great, but i just can’t accept the fact that well soon join their ranks as grown-ups. 

Eww. hahahahahaha.

in due time.

. . . 

today went extremely well, better than most days and far better off than what i expected it to be. i had a startling wake up call, all thanks to my phone which went berserk directly infront of my ear. then, i couldn’t bear sleeping during the ride going to school. i couldn’t she off this funny feeling inside my stomach. it was a mix of excitement, anxiety, regret and determination. hahahahaha.

so when i got to school, i got immediately got into "campaign-mode". AGOS came up with all these crazy campaign ideas. we got our blue bandanas, "Fight DALOY" ribbons, flags, flyers, , stickers, everything. you could say we went all out on this one. it was our rally after all.

so we got down and had our usual FC. i noticed almost all candidates were fidgeting and muttering their speeches under their breath. hahahahaha. after a few reminders from Mrs. Hongo, we got up the stage and prepared to meet our maker. not really. hahahaha. i tend to exaggerate.

our introductions/game went by pretty fast. the crowd obviously caught up with the arrangement of the candidates. i was damn nervous before my name was called up. but when i got infront of eveybody to speak, everything stopped. i had no control of what i was saying anymore. all of which where purely based on my memorized speech. but the funny thing is, is that i wasn’t nervous anymore when i was speaking. it was a great achievement on my part, after all, it was my first time being up there.

so yeah, horay for me and my council, i mean my partymates. hahahahaha. everybody did a great time delivering their speeches. after DALOY’s campaign, both parties proceeded with the Q&A. i think our answers were ok, given the amount of time that we had, anyway. hahaha. i think i had a decent answer which was addressed to me and Guia, being newbies and all. hopefully, my answer didn’t come off as propagandist. hahahahahaha.

all and all, i think both AGOS’s and DALOY’s campaign went great. hopefully, it somehow enlightened the batch on picking the right leaders for the Junior Council next year. and hopefully majority of the winners would be from none other than..

AGOS, Achieving Greatness through Oneness and Service. hahahahahaha.

after the all the commotion, we headed back to our classrooms for the rest of our classes. most of Social’s time was eaten up by a heated discussion on Animal Rights which i got into really quickly. anyway, we only got into a small part the discussion.

Recess, Cle, Biology went pretty slow.

lunch was spent for the Filipino musical. needless to say, we tried everysong known to man just to get our script finished. our efforts proved to be bleeeeehh. hahahahaha. we only finished a quarter of the first page. hahahaha.

good thing we had Filipino after lunch. we finalized the first few parts of the script. horrraaay for us.

English was fun. we had a short discussion and Sr. Manaay scrutininzed, to say the least, the people who will be runing for Junior Council. i’m pretty glad that he did. i really got a feel that it’s gonna be a fun and nerve-wreaking election. hahahaha. then we had the practice for the English play. i was kinda new with being the prompter and all, that’s why i was told off a couple of times. oooppsss.

HE was fun. a lot of singing was going around. and people kept saying how ugly their projects were, myself included. hahahaha.

then i hitched a ride home with Lance and Trixie.

then i was home.

. . .

i’m really thankful with the progression of everything. i noticed that i’ve since became more active in the things going around. i felt i’m more intone with my inner leader, which is what i’m really after; besides aspiring to win? hahahahahaha.

YEY!
