RSPC, etc.

just when i was already halfway in writing my post about rizal, brownout! ugh. now i know how it feels . and now i have to start all over again. kainis.

during my six four day in Rizal, i was so ecited and eager to write all my experiences but as soon as i finally had the time to type away, laziness wrapped me. iroically, the excitement over updating my blog faded away. i am considered to just sip my lips and not share, but i felt guilty not to share. i mean i don't want to be selfish and not share, or give, like what i stood for in my editorial. so get ready for a pretty long post.

day one
the heavy rains and the strong winds still woke me up. finally, natuloy rin. i managed to take a cold shower and go to lipa. i arrived early and heavy rains followed me there. and after eons, we managed to drive to rizal. we had to go through heavy traffic, hunger groans and dead ends before we reached our quarters. but the long wait was worth it anyway, san francisco elem. school ws so beautiful, much like a resort if you ask me. we had a perfect view of what we thought was manila bay. we had a tv in our room. but we also had to pay a big price for that. our quarters was way out of civilization. we had to travel and get lost for more than an hour to reach our contest venue. so anyway, the first day was spent on looking for the school and a bit a cam whoring with our cute pajamas.

day two
photojourn started but still no editorial, so i spent most of the time strolling in the boring tiangge. i had nothing to do this day. it was eating sleeping eating and sleeping again. totally boring day for me. while arjae and rizelle were busy taking pictures under the heat, i was also busy--sleeping. haha. after their session, we went back to the quarters since rizelle was not feeling well. we had our siesta time, meaning more sleeping time for me. the rest of the afternoon was spent trying to think of something to do. we missed the sunset, but promised to watch it the next day. word for the day: sleep. ;p

day three
arjae and i were to lazy to take a shower since we already had one last night. we were also too lazy to even go to the comfort room to get dressed. so guess how did we get to our day clothes? under our blankets we hide and then the magic happened. haha. we were laughing at ourselves while we were getting dressed, trying to figure out how we could fit our pants. in the end, we did it. i really had fun doing it. we traveled to the contest venue and still no editorial contest. ugh. photo lay outing started. well, arjae unexpectedly called me. and... she's okay, no more story. right arj? anyway, rizelle went home since she was feeling really bad. miss noemi arrived that day so it was bye bye for miss nerisse. i slept early since i will be competing the next day. until now, i regretted having to sleep early and missing the six shooting stars and the englidh speaking chit chat with carlos. huhu. arjae, you finally figured out what to wish for. yey.

day four (contest day/final day/shopping spree day)
finally, the moment i've been waiting for finally came, or so i thought. we arrived very aerly so as to prepare me for the contest. we were very excited and anxious at the same time, but that stupid-TH singer-corny facilitator announced the contest was postponed to later this afternoon at 1pm. it was only 8am when he announced! grrr, i hate him. i hate manuel quezon III for being so irresponsible with his schedule. i hate them both for ruining our neatly planned trip to tensadillas tiendisitas right after the contest. we don't have any choice but to wait. at around 12, the contest started. the topic was completely unexpected!"This christmas season: is it right to give or to receive?" i despise quezon for giving that topic. i despise the rspc. the topic was completely not fit for an editorial, more of an essay or a feature article. but anyway, i tried to give my best but i guess quezon did not appreciate my style. so what? it's not my world!(quoted from ms. noemi) i am happy just to express how i feel about the topic. goodbye baguio. goodbye nspc. hello tiendesitas. haha.

after the contest, we had a chance to even for two hours to unwind and breathe out all the stress from the press con. and what better way to relax than to go on a shopping spree? wee. i went gaga over the shops there. so thanks arjae for influencing us to go there. i bought my december 15 christmas party outfit plus a bag and some paarte. really fun. and to make the long story short, i was home sweet home by 9pm.

RSPC finally ended, but i am not leaving behind all the fun, sleep, lessons, heat, food, picturesque views, traffic, shocking bumbongs and almost forgot, boys i had during the regionals.

a little info on boys, we managed to spot two ultimate cuties. lucena boy-slash-patrick look alike and my supposed to be fate from tiaong. fate already brought us together, but i was too shy(?) to make any move. too bad. oh well, i don't enjoy long distance love affair anyway. haha.


i'm still a winner. i don't need any award or any contest to express my thoughts. my pen, my dulce, and my blog are enough to make me feel that i can be a writer.
