GAPATIDS

January 24 and January 25.

-Congress with GAPATIDS at Cattleya Resort, Antipolo City.

We are now declared, the pool party. Lol, just kidding. I was with my fellow candidates, cores, and alumni for one night, and one day. 'Bridging cooperation, within competition.' :) This congress was really epic. Very unforgettable, it's just that, every time I'll remember what had happened, I just want to laugh. Seriously. Without any regrets. Cause I believe, things happen, for a reason. If it's not meant to happen, then it won't happen, though. Although I got sick, severe coughs and colds, and fever. I have no plans of swimming, really. Cause I didn't bring swimming attire, and I don't want to get sick even more. But... Immersing and dipping into the water, delivering our speeches? Heck. It was so freezing cold! I thought that all men were created rational, yet, how come they forget that they are thinking beings? Or maybe, it just slipped their minds. I gave them the benefit of the doubt though. But in totality, I was able to build stronger friendship and bonding with my co-candidates. It appears like, it was a rebellious act for our cores, but we just wanted them to feel, that we were hurt, too. Both parties were hurt. And yes, the bottom line of this congress, the thing that I learned was... Bridging cooperation, among all kinds of people. Loving and treating them as my brothers and sisters. Embracing that, we are all doing such thing for our political party. Sleeping inside Inna's car, all throughout that night, shivering like freakin hard, was a bad ass. But still, we all went home, with peace and unity. It was really unforgettable.

January 26 and January 27.
Breaking, Overnight Training at Mama Fran's crib.
I just don't feel like, changing myself into someone, who I'm not. Taking away my real personality, as the very jolly and alive person. But taking it into account, that I have to listen to the comments and suggestions of our founder, Mama Fran. I swallowed my pride, even though it was really hard for me, to change my speech. I want it that way, cause I believe, I can sell myself with such. Using colloquial words. Yet, at the end of the day, sacrificing my sleep, training so hard, hearing their critics, staying like widely awake 'til 7am, was hard. But I was able to survive. And it made me a better person, I feel. It made me realize that the end does not justify the mean. I can always adapt, into something, though it isn't my forte at all, yet... I can perform really well. Without any complains, but keeping my spirit and head up high. It isn't wrong to trust people, though. Listening to them, may either break or make me. It depends on how I'm going to view their points. For there's always two sides of the coin. I shouldn't just look into one side of it, but instead, take both sides, and weigh which one's the right and which one's wrong. But it feels really good to be with people, who'll love and support you, no matter what. I'm just too thankful, I entered this political party. :)
