August 22, 2008.

August 22, 2008 was a VERY MEMORABLE DAY for me, because aside from 3 of my friends are celebrating their birthday, it was the day of the pageant. The event that I wasn't waiting. The thought of it gives me creeps. At the very start I was very vocal about it, I DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE. But I have no choice, I still participated and something very bad and nice happened.

Before the pageant, when me and my blockmates are hanging out in our classroom, 321, Marco arrived. He talked to Eyddie outside the room and Eyddie went in again and she was crying. We were surprised why she is crying then she told us, Marco has Cancer. Leukemia. Stage 1. The news was a real shocker. The people inside the room were speechless. We never expected that someone like Marco will have a Cancer. I felt bad. I actually don't know if I should cry or just forget what Eyddie said. But reality bites. I just can't forget what Eyddie said. I have to accept and pray that Marco will be okay. I'll pray to GOD that he will be okay.

Then there was the pageant. The most horrible event of my life that day. I went to the venue with Twin and Gemma. While Angela went home because she forgot to bring her attire because of me. Hehe:) I asked them to accompany me because I was shy. The feeling of being there was really terrifying for me. It was held in AMV hall, 4th floor. It was actually the main event of EES General Assembly. It started late. It was kind of boring at first but later on I had fun. It was my first time to attend the general assembly. Anyway, the pageant started with the modeling then the question and answer. I believe that I had the BEST ANSWER and so does my blockmates. Then the talent portion. I did taekwondo and it was the MOST HORRIBLE PART for me. I think I looked stupid. Haha:)) But I thank Denise for agreeing to be a part of my talent portion. My blockmates told me that I was so contradicting because my real outfit for the pageant was so girly-girl then my talent was kind of boyish. Well, that's me.:D Then we had dinner. I didn't like the food that much. To make the story short, I lose. Ate Reda won the contest. A fourth year PSED student. She was crowned Ms. EES. I don't have any objections. What matters to me is that I did my best and my blockmates liked my performance. For me and for them, I am still the winner. There were no runner-ups. Only Mr. and Ms. EES. Then there were special awards. Angela won the Fashion Icon of the Night. Congrats Angela!!:) The best part of the whole event was when I felt the support and love of my blockmates. I never expected there support. So I really THANK THEM. I NEVER thought that I could get thru. That I am capable of performing in front of a big crowd. And of course, it was even more special because I felt that for once I belonged to 3SPED1. That I was a part of the family. I love the times when we were taking pictures anywhere. When Liei was standing on a chair and she was dancing then taking our pictures. I felt like we were bonded. Laughing and commenting on the performance of the other contestants. It was an event WORTH REMEMBERING. I am pleased with myself that I TRIED and that I DID MY BEST.:D

Again, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU BLOCKMATES for the SUPPORT. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF 3SPED1.:D
