Not just another Friday.

Sorry to disappoint you but this is not one of those ‘OMQZ-I-haz-Bad-Luck’ posts.
Friday the 13th actually treated me well and even contrasted the dreaded popular belief.

Remember my Feature-Writing ordeal?
Well what do you know, I won 4th place! I’ll be competing against other writers in the Luzon-wide Press Conference to be held this February at Bataan. A pleasant way to start the third trimester, and finally something to look forward to!

Believe it or not, it’s actually my first time to leave the mountain city for some place other than Manille.

Sheer surprise filled my insides. I never expected to place in the top 5. I guess the judges liked something about my piece, ha ha! I still cannot believe that stroke of ‘luck’.

And yes, I wore my favorite and what I deem ‘lucky’ ensemble. I think I wore and posted photos of me wearing this outfit countless of times. I already hear you thinking such putrid things like “He has nothing else to wear” or “He thinks it’s so fab,” and whatnot.

Plus, The Alternative, our school’s official student publication was hailed Over-All Champion in the Cordillera Administrative Region, bagging top awards in the individual and group categories.

Today was quite a day. Ergo, the 13th landing on a Friday is nothing but a fat hoax.

Yes, I try hard to perfect my “surprised face.”
