requiem for a dream

[extant_child]

today is loner, leave-me-the-hell-alone day.

i spent hours just walking, and well, shopping. i didn't wanna be stuck at home, but i didn't want to be with anyone too. i'm weird and moody like that.

right now i'm sipping on chai latte from the coffee bean and tea leaf (winner! i swear.) and munching on beard papa's cream puffs (winner!). (side note:

potangenang almond blizzard yan. i tried the mango almond with alistair at bigla akong napauwi ng bahay from trinoma. hindi kinaya ng tiyan ko!!!

[extant_child]

ay sus, sino ba kasing nagsabi na 'yung mango ang bilhin mo. hello. ang taas ng oil content ng almonds.

although, chocolate+almonds = hmmm.

tiyan mo lang siguro. tsktsk. :p

I feel very weird too about debate. NDC was supposed to be my last since I couldn't debate in PIDC, but then I didn't go. O_O I was almost crying over the fact that you guys were at Davao and you were debating (even if some were losing, hell, at least they were still debating), and well, it's sad when you finally get to that point.

But it's also exactly like what you said: unforgettable. :)

[extant_child]

waah, mels! PIDC. hahahahaha. hmm.

Like I said on Multiply -

Aaaww, in fairness, reading your bit about debate did make me miss competing as a debater. The part about the rush of anxiety and excitement you get when you hear the voice on the mic announce "Match-ups" is what got me really nostalgic.

As for debate achievements, you've achieved so much more than so many people who've tried out debating. But more importantly, trust me - they only keep score in the debate world. Once you get out there, nobody really cares. And after a while when you're no longer as immersed in debating as you are now, neither will you.=P

[extant_child]

in fairness nicolo, you're efficient. at least this journal's layout isn't giving you headaches. :p

[anokaya]

I know this won't mean much to you, especially since it doesn't hold any value to the outside world, lol.

But I was deathly afraid of you in high school.

You were the girl who gave me a POI during my first (and only) try-out for IDEA that made me stop in the middle of my speech, scratch my head and say "oo nga 'no. Wait lang, let me think about that"

And I can sympathize with you, not having won anything in my career as well (aside from an intra-DLSU tournament, lol)... but do know this: while you might not have had your own trophy to bring home, you've won over people's respect. And that's something you should be truly proud of. :)

Sigh. I miss debating. Can't we make like an IV for debate retirees that just want to debate for fun, and make the new generation adj for a change? Lol.

[extant_child]

what?!?!?! are youuuuu serious?!

waz. i don't know what to say. i feel like such a bully. errr. i'm sorry. waaaaaazzzz.

thanks estelle, hihihi.

omg, if we have some sort of IV for retirees, we might be too young to compete. who knows just how many old debaters might come out of the woodwork? haha. peace. respect. LOL.

[anokaya]

yezzz I am serious.

you and Tet were giving the try-outs at the corridor of some SPCP building. I was 4th year HS na by this time, and I was so embarassed na I couldn't answer your POI. Hihihi.

:D

that's why when you guys started debating in College, I was so scared of you and Tet. Lol. Highschool hang-ups. Hehe. Wala lang, sharing!

RE: IVs for retirees-- kasama ba ako duon sa "too young to compete"? or am I part of the old debaters coming out of the woodwork? :D hahahaha.

[extant_child]

and look where we are now. =D

and now? well, i'm the one tripping all over myself trying to make you appreciate my arguments. hahahaha. hay debate.

of course nasa "too young to compete" tayo. i'm talking about... hmm. 'wag na. the walls of cyberspace have ears. hehehehe.

[sawingtala]

isa ka na nga pala sa magreretire sa debating world.. :) you've achieved a lot jowee... miss you... miss everyone.. :)

[extant_child]

thanks!!! haaaay, debsoc. tsk tsk.
