PC Shutdown

To the LHEPC!

That was my ultimate goal that day of November 25, 2011 when I received my certificate and the medal-which-I-only-used-for-picture-taking-and-returned-afterwards-because-it-is-not-yet-delivered from the person awarding me. I had high hoped that we will go there bravely and face the feat that lies ahead. 

My fellow schoolmate-winners were also as excited as I am, more so with two of my companions because it was supposedly their first time going to such competition -- the Luzonwide Higher Education Press Conference. They were so excited they've already planned on so many things to do during the LHEPC. I, too, was as excited as them because, though I've joined once, the experience is still different with these companions, with the new place, and the new section I am writing at. I was slowly earning some money I've got from generous persons.

We were actually really doing our best to join the competition (actually, I only helped a tiny little bit, considering the fact that I'm a shy person and I can't speak to strangers that much). We even solicited to the highest officials here, but unfortunately, we lost the war. Our solicited money was not even enough to cover all our expenses for the said contest.

We were devastated, but we had nothing to do. We may add from our pockets, but it won't still be enough. So, we planned to withdraw from the competition. As much as we wanted, we can't do anything anymore.

For the coming days, I would just imagine myself in Bataan, giving all out for the competition I was supposed to join to from February 6 to 8. What would just happen if we went there. We might be on a bus now, or a van going to the destination. But uhhm, just my luck.

Well, Press Con shutdown for this school year. Hoping for a great system boot next year.
