I DID MY BEST (my 100th post!)

I did my best!

In this past week, I was toooooo busy. A part of this business is caused by the dula presentation in Filipino. I emerged leader from the "shepherd"less group (well if not, at least I consider myself to be the leader). A meeting last Saturday was held at Czarina's place. It's like we only planned all that is to be presented. Now one of my members became like the director that time (I let him be). At the end of the day, I saw the result of the work... FAILED! Sunday, I was supposed to meet some mebers of our class to practice an intermission number for an event the next day, but the practice was cancelled. I dedicated the whole day working with all the specific things that'll happen during the presentation, the way I want it to look, the way I want it to happen. And so I had these thoughts organized in my mind and printed in yellow paper. I text them, "there'll be a practice tomorrow, after the interaction. i am going to be the boss tomorrow. no one else." And so the practice went through as planned. Of course, unavoidable, there were problems. Czarina had a cd player but it does not have a.. adapter? (i don't know what it's callled). So I had to run all over the school to find one. About twenty to thirty minutes passed and I have not asked one who has what we need so I decided, we'll borrow from the library a cd player. Another problem, I have no library card and so I had Mrs. Coronado, our adviser, borrow the cd player in her name (thanks to her!). And so we had our practice... Attendance... i think it was 8/11 or 9/11. a lot were getting my attention, not concentrated, while I shout, shout, shout. Finally, we've managed to finish the flow of the presentation in an hour. If only all were available till seven or eight in the evening, we could have practiced till then. Okay, so as I got home, I started making all the things necessary for the presentation... name tags, events, etc.. I contacted everyone, telling them what to bring.

Okay, it's presentation day... Lunch time, final rehearsal.. and everyone doesn't seem interested. haaay. more than half of the lunch time, I spent shouting, scolding, finding someone until Mr. Salazar comes in and starts the 5th period.. "O siya! Good Luck! God bless us!" I said.
It was presentation time. Looking at the negative side... knowing the exact things to happen, I found a lot of errors. First, VERY VERY VERY SHORT narration in the beginning, though sensible. skipped a step in the prologue. too dirty. i had to call the attention of each one (damn!). okay cut it. but I think there were good feedbacks.

Anyway, I say to myself, I want to celebrate! That was the end of the Filipino struggle. I know I did my best. Thinking selfishly, I really think I did my best. Letting the day end, sleepless. Sleeping early in the morning, thinking of the things we might forget. Spending a lot, texting everyone, calling everyone, asking them to come to the practice, asking them where they are at the moment of practice. I did not lack anything. I really did my best. I just don't know with some group members. And so, I am... HAPPY! Congratulations group 1!
