Is life unfair? No. Not really. I disagree. I believe that everything has a purpose. I know that whatever situation that is happening in our lives, God has His plans. The best plans, great and perfect ones for us. It's just that this afternoon, something unexpected happened which somewhat ruined my day (but thanks to my bestfriend for making me feel better).
This morning I woke up so early, maybe an hour earlier from my scheduled time of waking up. I'm trying to sleep then, but I'm afraid that I might be late for our 10am class, so what I did was just text my bestfriend. We had some discussions and stuff. Serious stuff to talk about. Then I took a bath, fixed myself, and off I went to school. I was hoping for a good day but somehow, it turned out, another "not-so-good" day.
We had our IDS class and we did an activity. It's quite weird of our professor to let us do an activity in which we can call a friend, literally call a friend, or text, and we can even share our answers to our blockmates. Well, he has his objectives for this activity, which are, to be informed of some computer related terms/acronyms and to be able to know the concept of GIVING (giving the answers), and the last one I can't remember. Of course, I texted my bestfriend at once (sorry for the interruption, because he was at work and doing some revisions in his projects) and I even called him to help me with the activity, which turned out really great 'cause I got the answers correctly, with some confidence in me (because I trust him, well I gain a GREAT CONFIDENCE whenever he's with me) except for some 's' mistakes. My friend was so impressed with my bestfriend that she kept on telling me "Pot, ang galing galing ni Empoy, thank you thank you", lol. Well, this one made me glad for this morning. Then...
Lunch time, I just had a little time to rehearse my lines in our French dialogue. I didn't had a feeling of being nervous because we were already used to dialogues, since our first year in college, Spanish course back then. But, the fact that I and my partner didn't rehearsed (too lazy of us to do that, I guess), I did bad in our dialogue. It was too late, too late to discover my mistake. It was already during the dialogue that I found out I forgot to copy the question "Quel est le prix de la chambre?". I failed to memorize it and it ruined our dialogue. Sorry. Lesson learned? Don't be too laxed at some things and don't always expect PERFECT results at once. This thing already ruined my day.
Hours passed, then we're dismissed early by our LIterature professor. And we had our meeting for our tour and travel operations and management class, in which we'll be having our international tour. Just last week I was worried because I joined the Marketing and Promotions Committee (which I really like) without my close friends with me. I don't have any problems with the task because I'm used to it but I was worried at the people I'm dealing with, because they were all 'barkadas' and I'm the only 'SOLO FLIGHT' in the committee. But then, God is good. Yesterday, our class president announced some important matters, which made me transfer to another committee. So, I transferred to the Operations Committee, where my friends belong. This made me feel comfortable.
Unfortunately, another unexpected thing happened. We had a meeting (committee), wherein we were to decide on some tasks and think of who will be our committee head. There, "Sino ang head natin?". I was surprised when they were pointing at me, and saying "Si ICEE! ICEE na lang head!" Fine. FIne. What's with me? Why vote for me to be the head. I don't even know what to do. This isn't happenning. I was strongly refusing not to be in the position. Then, we just decided to do the "POMPYANG" (not sure of the spelling) and whoever loses will be the head. FINE. To be fair with everybody. And the next thing surprised me. I LOST! I became the committee head. Although I had a little training of being a leader in our church, I still don't have the confidence to face my blockmates, or even lead the group. Another thing, it's a large group. Hmmmm.
Anyway, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ALREADY! I'm just thinking that God placed me in the position to prove that I can also excel in other things. IS THIS A TEST? A CHALLENGE, I suppose. I am not really confident of my abilities and skills, especially in this task. I just pray that He gives me the strength, knowledge and wisdom, presence of mind, and confidence as I handle this task. I think this is also a training for me as I enter the "career world" two years from now. Anyway, I can't change the decision already so I just pray for better execution of tasks and great results in the end.
And one last thing, just a verse from the Bible..."I can do all things through HIM who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13. God bless.
