Tournament Hang Over
I can't believe another tournament is over. Does anybody else find this really weird? I mean, I spend the whole month of March looking forward to a 5-day tourney. It's a bit sad. :( And now, I'm looking forward to VMDC kahit July pa. Haha.
What I loved about PIDC:
1. In comparison to previous tournaments, all of us got much closer in PIDC. Syempre, there were only seven of us. Todo bonding! Things I found out about the Silliman debaters: Noel has a crazy side pala (haha, secret! I can't believe he desecrated our hotel!), RJ is so obssessed with a computer game (don't ask), Kristi sees things and tries to make them go away, Clyde is "mabenta" (wahahaha), Ron, to my utter surprise, is a total party animal (he hopeed from one bar to another talaga with his cousins) and Jian is the best impersonator of Rex Navarete I know, hands down. And oh ya, Mark looooves walking out. Haha.
2. FOOD TRIP. Imagine being stuck in a city like Dumaguete where we're deprived of a lot of good restaurants and food chains (McDo was the latest to open, goodness!) Kung di mo ba naman hahanapin yung pinakamalapit na KFC. Haha. Babaw mehn. But gosh - my money's totally gone. As in ubos na po dahil lang sa pagkain (at taxi rides). Wawa.
3. My teammates are the greatest! Super... I've been waiting to whip for the RJ-Noel tandem and I'm just so glad to have had the opportunity before RJ finally retired from debating. Buti na lang I didn't disappoint. Pangit naman masyado if I was the one who brought the team down, diba? hahaha. Basta, I'm super proud. Moment toh!
4. Of course, the most important thing is: we broke. Yay! And to think, I was so scared we weuldn't. Ouch masyado if ever. It was just nice that a lot of people were supporting us and hoping we could get to the top 16... and we did! Kahit iniwan ako ng teammates ko during breaknight, at least ako lang nakaramdam nung feeling na ma-announce yung team name. Wheeeee....
5. I met lots of awesome people from other schools! Well, I already know the ADDU peeps (and we hung out with them more), Gian and Zed from Xavier, the newbies from UP Tac, Ethel and the rest from UP Miag-ao. Then there's the Beda boys (as I'd like to call them, hehe) - Jayson, Voltaire and Gian, and Falcis, Stef and Andrea from FEU. Infernez, ang saya ng mga inuman namin. Amin-amin na lang yun. Wahahaha.
Basta, ang saya saya saya. Can't wait til the next tournament. It's gonna be so interesting! Sobra! :D
