Milo! Winning Everyday

I'm really very sorry if I've made this article very late. I just had no time for doing this blog. In fact, I just squeezed in this in my schedule. But, oh well...Lemme share you the experience in joining an Olympics without ever really playing. :D

Mrs. Cabang asked me if I want to join the scrabble competition for the Milo Little Olympics, so I said it's alright. On that day, we we're thrown with lots of requirements so that we can join the Olympics. Because of that competition, I've neglected my studies because I'm trying to prepare for the game on Saturday.

As we submitted our requirements, I have noticed that my requirements were lacking, so I spent a lot of time in the Principal's Office and I came in the classroom in the middle of the first period. It's embarrassing especially when your classmates stare at you because you came in late.

Nothin' really happened much. But, I spent my time at home practicing scrabble and I even forgot to answer all my homework.

I was informed that the birth certificate I've submitted wasn't accepted by the Milo office because it was just a photocopy. So again, I disturbed my father at home and made him bring some stuff for getting my birth certificate in the NSO. Thank God, I submitted the requirements.


Days passed...same things happened...

We arrived at the Pelaez Sports Center at 6:45 am. Then, the whole group separated for our different events. The scrabble was held in the MOGCHS canteen so we immediately went there. Then we've heard the news that there would only be four players needed for the game. We were eight players because we thought that the game for boys and girls are separate. So we have four excess players and I'm one of them. Now this is the part where I've joined the Olympics without ever really playing. On that day, I felt regret. I've felt like that because I imagined all the stress that I've given and the people who I have given stress too just to join that event. But, on the brighter side, I was happy because I already know how the event happens and I already know the flow of the game. So I'm ready if I'll join the Olympics next year. Still, I felt useless and and I felt like I'm just an excess baggage of the team. It was like I was just a decoration or something.

I was forced to come with the team because the coach said that I was the reserve player. I still hated the feeling that I have no use to them-just an excess baggage of the team, an outcast. By the time our school was declared the champion of the scrabbles, I really felt proud at the school and at the same time, I felt out-of-place because the players didn't let me join their victory celebration...I felt so alone...Still an outcast. I tried to congratulate them, but instead, they neglected my greetings. It's like I'm invisible to them. I know that I haven't said anything about this but now, I'm gonna let this out because it hurts my heart.




That's it...Milo! Winning everyday!
