The correct answer is letter C.

Yep. That's what the quizmaster said. And as glanced upon my answer sheet, the fucking letter that was written was a damned D.

I was a contestant in the 29th Regional Super Quiz Bee held in Koronadal last November 7, 2008. All went well before the difficult round. I sweeped the easy and average questions, and it ignited the confidence and hopes that I will be the participant to the national showdown to be held at Tagaytay. But then. On the third question on the difficult round(it was about equilibrium and such), I had to choose between C and D. And I chose D. I committed suicide.

"The correct answer is letter C."

Boom. I was frustrated at once. All my hopes were shattered.It wasn't nice of me, but I was discouraged. I finished third. So much for national level eh?

Congratulations to South Cotabato division and Gensan for being 1st and 2nd, respectively.

Truckloads of apologies to my coach, Mr. Ariel Lalisan. suriii sir.

stones.stones.stones.

Some stones are better left unturned.

Am I right or am i right? The truth hurts. But you still have to accept the facts and hope that things will eventually get better to your advantage. I learned all that from experience. Experience is really the damn best teacher.

Wanting to know is different from needing to know. Abolutely different. My desire to know is just simply a want, not a need. But what happened is that I learned the hardest way. I learned it not from the person involved, but from the person LEAST associated. And I forced that person(LEAST.LEAST.LEAST.) to let me know. Boom. Rebirth of agony.

F'n hard it was.

Some stones are better left unturned.

mea culpa

I was born and raised on this world by my beloved parents. From the time I came out of my mother's womb, they showered me with their steadfast love, hoping that I will grow to be a sucessful person. They imbued upon me values that are supposed to be learned at home. They molded me, and taught me right from wrong. They gave everything that I wanted. They sacrificed a lot of things just for my happiness, but then, I took advantage of it.

Problems arrived in my teenage period, when I started high school. Sometimes I wish that I can see things on a different perspective, and not rely on alcohol, cigarettes, and women. Yes, I drink and smoke, and my sexual life became active. I knew that it was not right, that it could ruin my future. I did not think about my future back then. I was engrossed on the wonderful effects of alcohol, the elegance of the whirling smoke, and the heaven felt with orgasms. In short, I became a lost sheep, far away from the flock.

I'm trying to change all I've done now. It's hard, I just need perseverance. God help me. To my parents, mea culpa. I apologize.
