First, I call it excursion because it was like a field trip slash vacation. No worries. Absolute fun. And yeah, we were participating another debate competition. It was the Nationals. Touted to be a gathering of the best and brightest debaters in the country. The good thing about this tag line is that it "glorifies" me. HAHAHA! Gimme a chance to boost my ego as it is often battered by stress and indiscriminate verbal assaults.
The dumaguete visit was a reminiscing of the past. When I was a high school graduate a long, long time ago, Silliman University was one of my school choices. They do have a good program and was definitely a home away from home, a second home if you will. Much to my dismay and frustration, I was not allowed to study there for reasons I wont divulge. Ateneo de Zamboanga is not totally off-tangent with the programs it has, it has nurtured me...more like brainwash me with magis and cura personalis.
How did we fare in the competition? Well, we did well! Too well than expected. Haaahhh! The joys of fulfilled expectations and of course, the unexpected ones. They say the best moments in your life is when one stands up after stumbling or after a fall, I have to agree. After making a complete embarassing Point of Information, the feeling of redeeming oneself is uplifting. Freaky. Liberating. Fulfilling. And yeah, I felt that was the best speech I delivered. I don't know about the others but I am happy about.
To more trials and sacrifices, to more victories and failures. Its nice to be molded by experience doesn't it?

:: Review of Teh Blogfather ::
In the beginning God created man, and man said "Let there be mayonaisse!" and there was mayonaisse. He looked and he saw that it was good. Not to be undone, woman said "Let there ketchup!" and there was ketchup. She looked and saw that it was good. Later that evening when having roast animal for dinner, they realised fire wasn't invented yet so they used a microwave instead. Adam decided roast animal tasted better with mayo, but Eve assured him that ketchup was better. And that, ladies and gents is how the battle of the sexes began. You heard it here first! Now, were it not for Ellery "Tha Debatanator" Ivaan who's masterful debating skills convinced Adam and Eve that you could actually mix ketchup and mayo, we would not exist today. So in tribute, you better show him some loooove!
