As a teenager, I was basically thankful that I'm living LOL XD but as you guys know, I've been through a lot of suicidal thoughts, good thing I didn't gave in... Then eventually, as I continued my journey as a student, I was able to experience a lot of things and won some school contests and even made it to the regionals...

For then first time I made it to the regionals as a campus journalist.

Back then I was a new journalist when I first joined the campus journalism contest. I was so nervous back then because for crying it out loud, this is my first time T^T the division level was held in Amlan Negros Oriental and I forgot to mention, my category is Science and technology or Sci-Tech. Obviously, I was expecting that I won't be able to make it to the division level but I was wrong, I made it to the top 7 and was able to go to the regionals which is held in Bacolod Negros Occidental.

And then, unfortunately I wasn't able to win it this time. There was like 200 participants in every category and I was like, "Yup, there's no way I'll be able to win this one." and I was right. But actually I wasn't sad because I was able to make a lot of memories back then. We went to THE RUINS - an ancient structure back in Cebu. And we had so much fun back then, I just can't put it into words.

For the first time, I was able to go to Bacolod XD and it was a big place indeed, I could get lost if I wasn't being carefull. We stayed there for three days and two nights before heading home but not empty handed since five of my co-journalist made it to the top 5. ^o^

It was a great experience and this year, I will try my best to make it to the regionals again and hopefully I'd make it to the top 3. Of course with God's grace, nothing is impossible and I trust Him. ^^
