the NAsHDC experience. it's hard to let go.

lately, or specifically for the past five days, i have thrown away my life. i haven't been attending regular classes and i didn't have a break like the weekends. all i had was fatigue and a drained brain because of debating. but really, it was an experience that was hard to get over. maybe because i've been feeling a lot of gloominess these days.

last friday was the beginning of the nashdc tournament or the national asians highschool debate championship. we left school right after the first friday mass and we went to claret school of qc. heck it was pretty much a hassle because we were aboard an l300 which has a dysfunctional air-conditioning unit. anyway, we arrived in claret and wasted 7 hours because the start of the tournament was not until 4 pm. so we watched shrek, ate a lot and toured the school.

at past 4, we had the round o and it was really like whatver. we lost because of a soft definitional challenge but anyway, gica our adj was so nice. we were up against swing team a. 2 claret boys and one atenean. ** was really cute and a really good debater. too bad he didn't hang-out for the rest of the tournament.bummer.

second day. i was actually determined to win the 3 rounds of debates that we're gonna have on that day. but unfortunately, we didn't. grrr. i even cried in front of our adj luigi. hahaha. drama queen. i had 2 embarrasing moment in front of l***y. the only thing that kept my hopes up was the fact that luigi said we were fluent and charming. awww. pambobola. hahahaha. no big.

3rd day, we only had 2 rounds left. we won. but i wasn't happy about it or anything. i really felt like revolting most of the time.
