As I mentioned in my last blog post, I passed Theresian Magazine. My biggest and best opporunity to arrive on my door in a while. It was a sunny Wednesday morning, recess time, when I received the good news. It was PALIHAN day which I enjoyed so much, aside from watching Horton and dancing with my classmates to MJ songs. In fact, one of my schoolmates joked me about my dancing talent. I told her it was “hidden”.
Now back to Theresian Mag. That morning, the editor-in-chief of the school paper announced over the AP system that the results are posted outside the Publication Room. I was nervous and I was hoping I made it. So at recess time, I read the list. Voila, I got in as writer for the news section. Yay! While I read the results, I started to look back at my previous two auditions for the mag, back in Grade 5 and 6.
Back in Grade 5, I made it to the first screening although it was tough because the teachers are the ones who’ll select the passers for the second cut. During the second cut, there were so many students in the Primary Music Room, hoping for a chance to write for the school publication. The task? An essay about caring for the environment. I gave it my all, using vocabulary words to perfect my piece. Days later, I didn’t make the cut. So I tried again next year. However, our English teacher chose only one student who’ll move on to the second screening. Not me. Did I try out next year? Nope. I just rested for two years.
In sophomore year, I started thinking of joining Theresian Magazine once again but was withheld because Dulaang Pinoy held tryouts the same day of the screenings. I was forced to make the decision to audition in DP, which I didn’t pass. See, 2008 was bad for me? I was really negative that time, since I didn’t pass DP yet in COC although I could see with the editors’ looks that they’ve enjoyed interviewing me. So I focused on some other things. Then this year, everything came to a head. My failures have gone underway, reversing it to successes. Not only I was given a chance to audition for Dulaan and Theresian Mag at the same day, but also I made it to both.
There is only one thing left to be accomplished: be part of COC 10. I just hope I make it this time. Today, I changed my MP background again. Actually, it’s the second time since yesterday. I’ll show you some pics.
