Hey, Look! I Got A Brain!

I didn't tango with chance so I could win in the elimination round. In the first place, I just signed up for fun. For the experience of competing with people who I believe are much smarter than I am.

FYI, I joined the 'Brain Damage' with some friends in Block 5 some week ago. It's like the usual quiz contests we see in television, the LG Quiz show for one. Yesterday evening was the elimination round. Soc, Aton, Calvo (as always), and I got our selves excused from BaCon. Boy, was I so bored with the subject! Yesterday's meeting was very dull because Miss Dumag let some group of seniors teach us instead.

So yeah, Xyza and Hazel were there, too. Momentarily, I began to think we're still carrying MaSci's name. Well, we still (and always will) do. Anyway.

The questions were pretty hard. I am not the person who cares about what happened in politics and warfares. Plus, it's very difficult to squeeze out the answers from your memory. However, my eyes sparkle and my smile widens each time I know the answer. Reminiscing the early years, Discovery Channel was (and still is) my all-time favorite program. My favorite book in third grade was the Guiness Book of World Records (1993). That's how I knew the cosmic extremes: longest scientific word, longest word, longest personal name, highest mountain, highest falls, the deepest valley... Dear, you can now get the picture. I was already a freak in my childhood. I still know these things by heart.

Plus, my Ma exceedingly influenced me in appreciating art. She made me listen to Emily Marcelo in the only classical FM radio station at night. Now, I can remember that the first compact disc we've ever had was a Mozart. How could I ever forget his Eine Kleine Nachtmusik? Years ago, at five in the morning when the alarm goes off, it was always the same song being played. It's a beautiful piece. At least I didn't have to worry about last-song syndromes. And the entire house is hung with paintings. The books here are all delightful to read as well. I learn the most interesting facts at home.

Now, in a nutshell, I was surprised to win the elimination round. It was a shining moment from God. Hahah! It's been years since I made an achievement such grand as this one. I (along with another nursing student) get to represent CN and compete in an inter-college quiz match soon. I don't intend to pressure myself with winning the upcoming competition. I have to reiterate that I signed up just for fun. Serendipitous moments don't happen the second time.
