this will be since day 1 til the awardings. hope you wont get bored.haha lets go!

It was the 3rd week of August at around 9 in the morning. Everyone was excited for our very first practice. It is LHA’s first time to have a team for flagcorps and first time to have an event for the military division. We had 5 girls who were “veterans” at the NSC and 7 first timers in the group. Everything went well for our first practice. Facing, marching, commands,etc. tsss…easy. “kayang-kaya. dali lang pala e.” i never realized i’d be taking that words back. As practices went by, we lost 3 girls and ended up with just 9 of us left. Every week was a struggle. We couldn’t get our routine, some were absent and emotions got in the way. We all had one thing in mind-Quit!!! it was just too much. “pagod na pagod na kami.lets stop this.” was our dialogue almost every practice. 9am-2pm practice, twice a week drained us BIGTIME!

2nd week of October; we didn’t have uniforms yet! we were weeks away from NSC! finally, a week before NSC, we were able to check and fit our uniforms. we thought it was fine already. but no. we had to return it due to some mistakes.

October 28, a day before the flagcorps event we all gathered at the open garden of the hotel for a final practice. it’ll be our first time to practice in uniform and with our flags.(imagine, FIRST practice palang namin yun) we changed from goofing around to being serious.

October 29, 7am, all the girls were running through the hotel’s hallway. we were running late. they thought 9am pa ang flagcorps. no, it was at 7:30! and we weren’t dress yet. haven’t fix our hair and some of us couldn’t find our belts!(tsktsktsk) we were definietly on panic mode. baka ma-difault kami. Finally, thank God, we got there on right on time. they told us to line up and get ready for inspection. the police woman inspected us one by one. asking a really, really bad question that i guess almost all teams didn’t expect, “where is your white hanky?”, “we dont have one, ma’am. none.” i kinda was shaking from head to toe after. after the inspection they announced the schools who will be performing in order. “LHA, pang 4th kayo.” (whew! we’ll be having time to watch the others first.haha)

Fast Forward natin yung story…

Last rally night was finally here! it was time to announce the “on decks” for flagcoprs.after months of training, after all the misunderstandings, after almost quitting and after all the issues and struggles, there we were,  “…4th place, Living Heritage Academy-Homeschool!” holding up our banner high, on stage, receiving our medals we were just overflowing with joy. we never imagined to make it to the top six nor ever imagined that we, the flagcorps girls will ever go up on stage. But by God’s grace, we made it! He even gave us a place we never expected to be landing on. truly God is really good. to God be ALL the glory! Lord, this for You! thank you!=)

oh, before i end, just want to thank our #1 fan, sir gid!hahaha!!! salamat,sir sa pagtulong sa amin.=’)

bakit???? di naman dapat ganito e. everything sucks right now. nakakapikon. tama ba ‘to? parang…..hay. bakit pa kasi kelangan maging ganito ang lahat. ok naman dati e.T_T

It was time to apply evrything I learned and reviewed. I walked inside the room, waited for my school to be called,and sat down on my designated chair. with only my pencil and eraser with me. I anxiously waited for the competion to begin. Every word I reviewed came to my mind. I felt that this was my time, it was my time to go on deck.

After everyone was settled in, they gave the rules and told us to bow our heads for prayed.

Now, competion begins. they started to say the words. my hands were shaking every time I knew the words. sometimes I felt they only gave us 5 seconds than 30 seconds. words came up fast, meanings i couldn’t remember… I felt like I never reviewed for this event. I was already losing hope for every word they gave I couldn’t remeber. After spelling 50 words, it was over! we all reviewed our papers then passed it to the one in charge.

More than an hour pass but no results yet. I can’t wait to know if I made it or not.(but deep inside, i knew it was game over for me) finally after an hour and 30 minutes, the proctor came out. He called the schools to compete for the tie breaking round. And then he told everyone that it is ok for us to leave already…no LHA was called. I felt doomed. I just let down those people who helped me. I failed again for the second time!!! ayoko na!!! im never gonna join that event again. never!!!(of course, it was not true);-)
