I’m just so grateful to these wonderful people for making our last Division Schools Press Conference a memorable one! ✨ I just wasn't expecting this to happen 😭 pero grabe worth it lahat ng practices natin kaya ganon na lang yung iyak ko nung tinawag tayo sa stage. 💕 I’m so happy and proud of you! 

We've all felt it. The disappointment of what we thought would be diba? dahil wala tayong nakuhang special awards I thought wala na talaga. Pero hindi out of 7 schools 1st Place tayoooo  😭Nakakahiya kung sino pa pinaka matanda siya pa yung iyak ng iyak (which is me) 😭 Grabe, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala.😭THANK YOU VERY MUCH LORD, ALAM KO PO NA ALAM MO KUNG GAANO NAMIN KAGUSTO ITOOOO  💖✨

I remember turning off my alarm during the wee hours of the morning, telling myself "I can't do this." I remember crying in bed telling myself "I am not good enough." I remember looking at the clock, 12:35 AM, asking myself "why do I keep trying?" Sometimes your biggest enemy isn't a school bully, the academic stress, or the days left till the weekend. Sometimes, it can be self-doubt. Competing for several years, I always asked if I was meant to do this or if I'm even good at it. I always show that I'm confident, but deep within me I was insecure. I try to keep that locked away yet it always seems to attack. I'm used to the feeling of being nervous but self-doubt is different. I'd feel afraid and incapable. It made me want to give up. I've only won once in the six years I've competed, so was I really good or did I just get lucky? But I knew I couldn't keep drowning myself in all of this. I had a team to lead and goals to achieve. I mean, we're called "Achievers" after all, right? (yes we are!!! Lol #SCHOOLPRIDE !!!) And let me tell you, I HAVE THE BEST TEAM and AN AWESOME COACH. There were days when we didn't feel like it, days when we couldn't seem to come up with the right words, and there were days when we gave it our all. I'm so grateful to you, English and Filipino broadcasters, because I never felt lonely around you guys despite being in different year levels. This team made me believe in myself again. This team is a family. After we performed I felt scared again. I felt like I failed. That night, I cried buckets, maybe enough to fill a kiddie pool. A part of me felt like it wasn't my best performance as an anchor, and that the other anchors were good. But I remember reading a Bible verse that goes "Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain you (Psalm 55:22)." So I prayed and told Him I trusted His plan for me, whether I win or lose. It felt good and I reminded myself that I did my best. And most of all, I enjoyed working with a great team. And then this happened. This was more than just a journey to compete here. This was also my personal journey of learning to believe in myself again. Thank you guys❤ #DSPC2017 (at Lyceum-Northwestern University)

University of Perpetual Help System Dalta - Calamba Campus’ Newspaper entry for English Collaborative Publishing during Division School Press Conference 2017, Sept 5. (snaps)

Yung “Tobacco is Life” out of 3 editorials lang yung matinong article na na-layout e hahaha. Anyways, proud parin ako sa sarili ko na nakaya ko ang ganitong mga bagay. Kudos sa mga nanalo sa DSPC! Dahil panalo ang layout artist namin, Feature writer at Photojournalist. Fuego Altas!

Not that bad for a first-timer and maybe I need some time to bloom and this time is not for me. Ayun na lang yung mga pumasok sa isip ko nung nakita ko ang result na pinost ng Calamba City Division School Press Conference sa page nila(yes, photo not mine) Sakto nga e, pagkapindot ko kagad sa search tab, I clicked the profile and ayun, kakapost lang 1min ago. I roamed for Editorial page at nagbabakasakaling may ‘Perpetual’ na nakasulat, kaso wala. Nasabi ko na rin yung mga nangyari sa amin ng team ko last time, yung pressure, yung excitement at yung ambiance. The time na wala akong nakita, sabi ko, ayos lang. Not that bad for a first-timer and ayun nga, hindi ko pa siguro oras or.. baka hindi sa akin though kakasubok ko pa lang sa journalism. AYOS LANG SIYA! why not?, kasi madami naman akong natutunan e atsaka kuntento na ako do’n! hahaha. I immediately send the result/photo to our GC(Group Chat) and congratulate the winners. May nag PM(Private Message) sakin that moment and taga radio broad yata, this our convo (Verbatim):

“Congrats po!” 

sagot ko naman e, “Huh? e hindi naman ako nanalo” 

“winners lang ba ang dapat cinocongrats? :D congrats for the effort :) “ 

-at dahil do’n, medyo nawala yung konting lungkot na nadarama ko haha. Thanks for that! At some point in your life, kapag down ka e may taong nandyan para i-lift yung fighting spirit mo. At ayun nga, aattend kaming lahat ng mga lumaban bukas para sa awarding dahil may mga nanalo din naman sa team. Congrats guys! Both English and Filipino ay merong nakapasok at hindi pa alam ang ranking. 

So much for that. Sabi ko nga last time e, you write to inspire, express and because it is your passion at magdudugtong lang ako.

It is not by chance we write, it is our destiny and by chance you gain labels and awards but it will not dictate of what your paper is, it tells that you need to strive more, yes, use it as your inspiration to work harder. Don’t be contented of what you had, be a passionate writer of your own story until you reach your beautiful chapter.
