10th Inter-Collegiate Finance Competition
noong ika-19 ng setyembre, 2008, ako kasama ng apat ko pang mga kaklase, nagpunta kami ng UP Theater para makipaglaban sa 10th Inter-Collegiate Finance Competition...syempre kinakabahan ako kasi ibang level na naman ang napasukan ko - of course national level na to noh... hindi ko ba alam kung bakit nakikita ng mga kaklase ko na napakatalino ko... siguro naiisip nila na as you grow older, you gain more knowledge...
actually, elimination round pa lang ito, pero 88 schools around the Philippines ang kasama dito... syempre kasama dito ang top 4 schools ng Pilipinas at iba pang eskwelahan na masasabi mo na kahit hindi kilala dahil sila ay nasa visayas at mindanao, may ibubuga naman...
pinasok ako sa easy round, kasama ko si tin at si leo...maganda pala ang kaagad ka sinasalang sa isang paligsahan kasi hindi ka na kakabahan at papawisan sa nerbyos kasi ang aim mo lang ay maisip ang tamang sagot para makapuntos... ang puntos? 14 over 20... not bad sa umpisa... at least mas mataas kami sa rival school namin... eheheheh
we sticked to the plan na ipasok ako ulit ng average... dito, mejo sumemplang ang score namin... walang lumabas sa mga pinag-aralan ko (Economics ang toka ko)... dapat ang pinasok dito ay yung isa pa naming kasama dahil dito lumabas ang mga pinag-aralan nya... gayon pa man, masmataas pa din kami sa rival school namin...
lunch time na... walang matinong pagkainan na malapit sa UP Theater dahil 2pm na noon at wala ng pagkain ang canteen... well, dahil hindi pa ko nag-aagahan, nagtiyaga ako sa turon... nasatisfy naman ako dahil matamis...and since hindi na ako papasok ng difficult round, pagdating ng sasakyan namin, nagpunta kami sa pinakamalapit na jollibee...
pagkatapos ng difficult round, sabi ng mga kaklase ko na dapat ako ang pinasok sa difficult dahil maraming economics question ang lumabas...
sa bandang huli, siguro kahit mali man ang mga diskarte namin at natalo kami, at least we did our best shot... kahit wala kaming nakuhang support from our hinayupak na department head, at least hindi naman kami naging kulelat and masasabi namin na dahil sa determinasyon namin na makapasok sa finals, kaya namin nakaya yung event na yon..
goodbye my friend
losing a pet dog does not differ from parting ways with a human friend… maybe for others… they may feel more terrible…
last 091408, i said my final goodbye to my for-sale-dachshund dog… for a month and a half, “Dax” (as my mother baptized him) had been my kakulitan at the store… he would usually play around with my cats and hide under my chair whenever the cat scratched him with his/her paws… i also missed his irritating barks as if they would be his last… and of course i also missed his lambing - the dog style…
eventhough i felt sad because of what happened, somehow im also thankful because as far as i’ve seen his new owner, Dax would be in good hands… she could afford his monthly check-up and daily dog food allowance… above it all, she could give the love that a man’s best friend should have…
eventhough Dax would never remember our times together, im glad that for a while Dax became my FRIEND…
