I won, I can't believe it.

Yesterday, October 17 2008, the division level started. Every high school from Quezon City joined this event. It was a big honor to win in such event. In the feature writing category, out of I think 100 feature writers, I was a part of the top 10, 9Th to be exact. This achievement is something I only had in my dreams, competing against big schools such as PISAY and many other schools, I felt great.

I never thought my dream, my goal, my want and need would come true in a blink of an eye. I worked hard for it, I exerted a lot of effort and missed a lot of lectures and classes along the way. Yet everything was worth it, everything fell into place, I'm so happy. I used to be invisible, but now everything changed, weird.

It was an unexpected win, since in our district presscons, I never won anything. They said the reason was because I have an ugly handwriting, which I agree on. But along the way, as I keep on losing, I started to think "Was it really because of my handwriting? Or am I just not good enough?". I mean, I lose when everyone else won. That was against only 5-7 schools. But on the back of my mind, I thought "I was in the wrong category". My teacher keeps on insisting I take up editorial, when my heart is in feature writing. But I'm glad I didn't took feature writing 1st, because if I would have won before, there's a possibility that I would lose today. I won because I want to achieve, I want to take revenge against failure, I won because I hated losing again and again.


God truly has a purpose in everything, I so happy today, It's hard to comprehend my feelings. From the way my eyes went big, the way I walked up to the stage, the way way I took the certificate to the way I went back to sit, I remember everything. I reminiscenced everything, the time I cried from losing and the time I smiled because of winning. I thank God for everything.

Yet after all the things that happened, I felt humble. My feet is still planted on the ground, I still have a long way to go. Since I won, I would work even harder to have a position in the regionals. Please, pray for me. ^_________^

found this through the net.. I thought it was nice so here..

This is a beautiful message that was shared by a little girl…who loved it to be shared amongst all of us who loves to smile:

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with cupcakes, several cans of root beer and started on his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She was sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed the lady looked hungry so he offered her a cupcake. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him. Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer as well. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling without saying a word.

As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how tired he was and wanted to go home. He got up to leave but before he had gone no more than a few steps, he turned around and ran back to the old woman, giving her a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy arrived home his Mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked, What has made you so happy today. He replied, “I had lunch with God. Before his mother could respond he added, you know what She’s got the most beautiful smile in the whole world!”

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face. He asked, Mother, what has made you so happy today She replied, I ate cupcakes in the park with God. And before her son could reply, she added, “You know, he is much younger than I expected”.

Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring; all of which have the potential to turn life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime….

beautiful right? ^_^ 5 Comments
