Thoughts on a Gloomy Day
A miracle just happened: I went home early. Well, at least to my Mom it's a miracle (and she's quite happy about it.) And why? Because instead of helping out my brods and sis in a certain activity tonight, I decided to just go home and rest. This day has been anything but fun. And there are so many things running through my mind. Plus - I'm hurting inside (wahaha). No, really. To top it all off, the rain is making me extremely senti. And yes, I am complaining.
Tomorrow is the debut of my column on the Weekly Sillimanian. Some of the staffers told me they liked what I wrote, while Odie (the Editor-in-chief - slash - battered debate partner) said he wasn't expecting it. I say it was simply a nicer way of saying, "your column sucks!" But I can't really trust my instincts right now due to my overly melodramatic state. But actually, the only reaction I'm dreading is my Mom's. The column is about her, by the way. As much as I think I praised her enough in the article, she might see things differently. Anyway, I'll post what I wrote here later, when the paper is already out. So you can relate, hehe.
Anyway, I also received blank looks when I told people that my permanent column name is "The Writ of Ampao." And it also got an unpleasant look from Noel. He said people won't understand what I mean by it. And when I started getting agitated, he tried to take it back by saying that it's cool because I'm being 'elitist' by choosing my audience. Whatever. If my column name becomes a flop, I so blame Clyde and RJ for over-encouraging me to use it.
I'm on the process of finishing our entry for the Valentine Songwriting Competition. Deadline is this Saturday, and I'm almost done with the melody. I'm really pressured and all because Jordan gave me really good lyrics. I just hope our song turns out fine. We're just in it for fun anyway, right jord? =)
The song is sounding kinda Mandy Moore-ish... which I think is a good thing, because I adore her. Her songs are very sincere and are great to listen to. Plus, she has poetry in her lyrics, and the lyrics Jordan gave me is nothing but poetic.
I'm still so stressed out about DIPDC. The competition is slated for December 8, but we still have lots to do. The only thing I'm worried about, though, is the participants. I hope more schools could join. I might be training beginners tomorrow so wish me luck. Gosh. For the love of debating. Hahay. It's a good thing next week is Intrams week, then I could have time to iron things out. I'm cheering for my kids from Science High. Battle of the Trainors! haha.
Speaking of debate, VUDC (Visayan Universities Debate Championship) is getting near, and I will need all the training I could get. I plan to win the championship (char). No, really, I hope I could at least get to the finals. But before that, we still have the Sandurot Cup next week (where Noel, Kristi and I will kick ass) and the St. Paul Debate (where Noel, Kristi, Odie and I will kick ass as well).
Ugh. If I had the words to describe what I feel right now, I would. But I don't. All I can say is that it hurts.so.bad. To hell with rainy days. Hehe. Drama. Lyde, coffee ta!
