Uphill Fight

Back in high school,what was in my psyche is the idea of my future school in College and the course I would take up.I said then that it has to have something to do with writing.Thus,having a vision lead me to my goals which made me move forward and fight.

So now,here I am,a Broadcast Communication sophomore.Being here is indeed an uphill fight.It was easy for a girl from the province to get intimidated by near-death experiences of entering the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.When I say "near-death experiences",it involves all those hardships and hindrances-financial,contradictions,discouragements and all.Up until now,it's still on a wonder how I manage to keep on fighting.My dream perhaps?My vision?No.I think the survival weapon with me is merely offering myself to God,my life is His.Anything can just happen.

Still,it's an uphill.Who could blame me for thinking that dream initiate chaos?During my first year (apparently until now)were really broke financially.That is why on this fight,most of the time,I feel like giving the whole thing up.Emotionally,it's really dreadful,thinking you could die eventually alongside with your dream.


Amid these terrible worries,the fact that I'm still here at PUP is very rewarding.Everyday is a miracle and I'm so proud of this community.PUP has this surreal charm that meet my quiet CFGHS memories.I admit,I'm not this proud of my school before,having friends on UP plus those other prestige schools here in Manila.But the longer I'm here,the more I loved PUP,with every fiber of my being.I can say that.How?Because of my college,the College of Communication (COC)which provide me all those surreal experiences.Here,normal is weird and weird is normal.Steve Dailisan,Papa Jack,TV guesting,Studio Tours,Seminars by Karen Davilla,Bernadette Sembrano...well,you get the picture.80% of media practitioners came from PUP - COC so,how can't I be proud?

Nonetheless,every thing's normal.Wrestling with academics would always be a student problem.Doing tons of things-music video,documentaries,productions,TV episodes,research papers,campaigns,SCRIPTS!well,easy is currently not available in the vocabulary.

Nervous breakdown is normal,dark dreary nights were normal,overloaded academic requirements,were so so normal.The feeling of crawling under the chair because your block mates were so naturally brilliant?NORMAL!Normally,insecurities were eating me up,and I'm forever tormented by it.

Normal things are the dreadful things for an uphill fight,but giving up is never an option.You just know,you can never find reasons to justify giving the whole thing up.How did that song go again?"dehado kung dehado para san pang mga galos mo kung titiklop ka lang?"With Sponge Cola songs as my battle cry and God as my survival weapon,I'll be not optimistic,not hopeful,nor wishful..I'm sure!We can win this uphill fight,ayt?Ayt.
