Humor Me

I figured life's not really a bitch. It just fancies bastardizing people.
For inept reasons, needless of stressing, my dad decided not to enroll me this coming semester.
Weirder though, I didn't feel a hint of despair and depression.
I felt... uneven.
Unmoved.

So. AUDC '06 was promising.
Again, we almost broke. If only we won the last round.
But anyway, it was a breathtaking experience. I got to meet a lot of people from different countries (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia).
Wow. Also, I gained new summer flings from two of those countries. *grins*

Seemingly though, the crash course proved effective. We were able to win four rounds out of seven (five of those, I was second speaker). Although I had a bit of a problem during my first try; imagine going against UP Diliman's Team A for my amateur breakthrough. Nicolo and Claudia thrashed my arguments like they were some dirty laundry.

Pecto had his own crash course as well -- for conversation skills. Turns out, he has a dull tongue when it comes to speaking to people he does not know. So much so that he laughed off one of his conversations with the Japanese delegates. (Which kinda reminds me of the porn debate. We, as Filipinos, proved ourselves to be more knowledgeable in that entertainment genre.)
At the end of the day, Winston Churchill was proven to be a white guy, contrary to what Pecto carelessly professed.

I had one of the best teams in my whole debate experience yet. Hail to the Bratatat team composed of the most antipatiko/a in the UST.
Slaughter mode.

UST A, the only breaking team from our institution made it till Octofinals. Ate Cy won 6th overall best speaker, and Kuya James adjudicated till the final round.
The rest... Well, we're still waiting for the tabs. *winks*
