"My First Beauty Pageant Experience."

One of the greatest and cannot forget moments of my life is the memories way back 2015. Feels like it was all yesterday because everything is still fresh in my mind.

Month of August. 

My filipino teacher announced that there will be having a beauty pageant in our school. I didn't bother because at first Iam not interested with it. But then, after her class... my teacher approach me "I want you to come for 1 o'clock meeting at the school ground." I asked her why and she said "for the pageant." I already told her that I don't wanna go.

My nerves got shocked, not literally though but in my thoughts I will not go in the meeting even if my teacher told me so many times to go there. I made my whole decision to go home straight after class but my teacher caught me and she said "Just go to the meeting, atleast try." 

I have no choice but to go,  I'm really crying in front of my teacher because It's not fair for me. I was thinking that there are numerous girls who's more willing to win rather than me, who's more skinnier, pleasing face and deserving.

After so many rehearsals, the contest day came. I already promised to myself that I'll just treat this day as an experience, a part of my life and not a competition.

I got entitled to be the "Bb. Wika 2015" and unexpectedly to be entitled also as the "Best in talent 2015"

Everything that day just can't sink in to myself. 

1st day- Pageant Day

2nd day- Parade

3rd day- Coronation Day

Our school celebrated my title in 3 days. My teachers told me that It was really the first time that our school celebrated this long for a pageant acknowledgement. Timing also that our school is celebrating its 1 decade anniversary in history.

with a drum and lyre band... we parade all over the Taytay, Rizal area at the 2nd day. Waving my hand there, smiling and greeting everybody. So this is what a crowned-woman feels like hmmmmm

With Ginoong Wika 2015

I actually have a 3 gentleman escorts that day. They're my schoolmates, not that close but they're all so kind to me. Hehe.

I just want to thank my mom and of course, my family for giving me strength not just in the pageant day but also in everyday. For giving  me a hug whenever I'm shaking during the backstage feels and also courage for joining the contest. Thank you for my classmates, teachers who supported me.

For my everything, Thank you Jesus. I already told you that I will do it for you because there's no turning back. Only I hold on to is to trust you.

You really do have purpose in everything, even when we doubt sometimes. You never fail us.

Another lesson that I encounter here is be appreciative, do not let your fear nor anxiety pull you backwards, don't be afraid to try new things, have courage, be true to yourself, accept opportunities and be humble always.
