I never thought I'll reach the point of loving it. I have debated before but never really felt that it was for me. it was some sort of a no-choice-thing thats why i de
bated. However, i am glad that because of that a person whom i really adore trusted me when it comes to,. how do i call it, argument formulation maybe? haha. and this year, its a great year for me. Mam Flora Cabacungan, my constitution and economics teacher have given me this opportunity to join the debating team in school even if i was not able to sign up for the team during the Club fair. When Gencelle told me that i have to get ready with my outfit, i was totally blank and said : "FOR WHAT?" and she said FOR DEBATING.
I was actually waiting for an opportunity to debate but never really did something about it. and then here comes the chance. i was like Oh~ la la~ THIS IS IT!. time to do something with my life.
On the 21st of September, it is my first time to debate in an inter-school competition. i never really imagined my self on that podium talking. and it turned out fine because we won the debate with Brokenshire and i had the best debater and best spearker thingie. LOL. that's funny. :P
and the second round was with Ateneo, too good to say that it was a great round yet we werent able to get. i dont why but the judges were really complaining about the manner stuff? and what they were talking about was totally different from what Mam Flora was telling us. Duh. no wonder.! After all, i'd still trust our dear moderator who reached as far as Texas all because of debating than those NOTSOARROGANTINORANT English teachers who were complaining about Public Speaking all through out their delivery of their adjudicator's speech but never really cared about the substance and our argument, hahaha. Not to mention, i know we won that round as EXPERTS really say but if its not for us, it would be just fine to accept their irrevocable judgement. haha! and i still have the compensation of being the best speaker. LOL. How sad. But at the end of the day, it did not stop me from loving and appreciating debating because its the only way i can express myself, use my cruelty at its truest sense and i can be proud of myself because i can excel on my own CHOSEN Field.
And above all those victory and lesson, i owe it to the one who First INSPIRED me to try debating.
And lastly, i am thankful to my one and only guy coz at the end of those tiring days of matter loading, he is always there to encourage me and take away my tiredness. (:
Kudos! to the Mam Flora's Debating Team!
