Third Invitation

This day started great. I went through my daily routine and then went to school. We tackled "Liquidation of the Partnership" in FUNDAC2. It's easy, yet the table you have to make is quite long. In MANPRIN, we discussed International Management. Sir JV left us a German saying or proverb: "Respekterien, uber nitch aksepterien," which roughly translates to "Respect but not accept." (referring to different cultures) Later, I checked it and it actually is : "Respekt aber nicht annehmen." The "Respektieren" is "respecting" in German. So, if Sir JV is talking of the -ing form, it should be: "Respektieren aber Annehmen nicht."

After lunchtime, we had RESWRIT. I'll be doing a research on the effects of coffe on human behavior. It includes the reasons why people drink coffee, its effects on behavior and the body. we went up the library for the chapter 1 or the Introduction.

After that, I had office works. While I was buying shuttle tickets, I heard something that wasn't good to hear. It hurted my emotions because it wasn't true. The fact that it's not true hurted me because why do people have to say something that they know would hurt other people's emotions? Very, very unprofessional. I am so irritated. I'll spare you the details.Je'n ais ras le bol, if I may say so.

Anyway, my irritation was alleviated when I saw Ms. Rhea, the school's Student Services Directress reading a letter from a package. I had a hunch it's from QBF. Then, I was right! I saw the Quiz Bee Foundation's logo. it's what I've been waiting for. the 3rd invitaton from the Quiz Bee Foundation I'll be receiving for the 29th National Quiz Bee. I was the Division Champion of the Makati City Division of the 27th National Quiz Bee Makati-Quezon City Division Championships, Science and Technology category. I landed in 3rd place in the Metro Manila Regional Finals. When I went to college, I joined the 28th National Quiz Bee Collegiate General Information and International Affairs category. I, again, was the Division Champion of the Makati City Division. I became the Regional runner-up in the Metro Manila Regional Finals because the judges didn't acknowledge "Mont Blanc" as my answer to the question "What is the highest mountain peak of The Alps?" in the Clincher round. Mont Blanc is spelled Mont Blanc and it is the highest mountain peak of The Alps. The judges insisted on their answer Monte Blanc. I can't do anything about it. Past is past, and now, I'm back.

The competition is on August 16, Saturday at SM City North Edsa. Please pray for me. The Lord was with me in all my competitions and endeavor and I believe that He will still be with me in this competition. He's faithful even if we're not.

Have a great night everyone! Have to go home already!
