MY SMI Challenge entries
Well, after 6 rounds in the challenge, I got wacked hehehe
My first reaction was like... an ice-cold water was thrown out at me, my knees felt like jellies and I thought for a minute there that I misread the names of the final 12 contestants. But no, it's clear as daylight.
Finally, I was out of the ball game.
Hayyyy... I didn't know what to do, if I'd cry or what.
I'd be a hypocrite if I say I didn't mind.
I did mind. But my head asked the question right away.. "WHY?????!?!??!?!?!"
So I head off to the gallery and looked at the first entry my mouse clicked (will not say which one hehehe). I wasn't really looking, I was just staring at my monitor. Hmmm what's wrong with my layout??
My eyes averted to the journaling part and looked at the layout as a WHOLE... and THEN it HIT me... hmmmm, ok now I know :D I was thinking to leave comments on all the layouts but KABOOM!!! my pc died. what the F!@(?!? The power went out, again for the nth time!!! grrr...
To continue with my sentiments.... hehehe
It may be sad and bittersweet to say, but I know which part of my layout made me at the bottom 3 of the finalists. Well, I don't really know what the judges thought and how they scored us but in my opinion, there is really something lacking in my final entry. I am not saying these things to kid myself, no I am not that kind of person. There has to be something, lacking (not wrong) with what I did (for A CHALLENGE). I tried to explain to some of my friends (who were as devasted as well) how, I think, my entry didn't make it. And I guess (I hope) they understood. After contemplating for over several hours, there were thoughts like, "Shocks, I should have made that, this..", "Why didn't I do that instead??" and a lot more.. but then again, it's finished and I have to learn my lesson from whatever I did NOT DO to make it at the final 12.
I am not looking at my final entry as a failure, I am looking at it as a beacon of hope (ah, naks.. lalim!!! hahaha!!) and a source of inspiration to improve and be better in what I love doing. It may have not won or made me one of the final 12 but it has served its purpose, it enlightened and inspired me :D
Hay naku tama na ang drama (enough of that drama) hahaha Finally I will be able to post my entries here in my blog :D
