maling akala

turns out that our revalida would be on february 2 - a lot earlier than we thought it would be.

argh.

there's going to be a debate on a banking-related issue, & there will be a leaderless discussion & an extemporaneous speech (public speaking) on an issue with social relevance.

did i ever say that i abhor speaking in front of a group, & that i quit my high school's debate team even before i could participate in a debate? it might not seem like it most of the time, but i become quite nervous when i face people in structured situations (eg. orals, defense, extempo, revalida). i am unable to eat hours prior to the activity. my hands begin to rival a fridge & my mind...well, my mind just sort of flies into oblivion for a while.

double argh.

did you know that i didn't show up on the day that we were supposed to debate? & that i was supposed to be team captain? haha...

yup, i'm hoping & praying that we will all do fine. thank you for being so encouraging, paps.

as for the smile, forget about it. ;)

anak ng. you were supposed to be captain? geez. were you there on my one and only day of training?

yup, i was supposed to be team captain for a particular debate. girl, was i horrified! when did you attend training? i "joined" in first year, then quit during second year. i don't think we were ever there at the same time, though. i remember that it was only me, trisha & calai then. :)

oh so that's why they asked me to join, cos you quit! sir sam asked me in sophomore year. now he was terrifying. and cute. nonetheless, terrifying. ahe.

i'm not sure that my quitting had anything to do with your being invited to join.

as for sir sam being cute, that's another story. we could get into a debate on that. ;)
