Proud momma



It was Friday last week when Alexis announced to us that she's running for Student Council President, and that she has to prepare a campaign speech for next Friday's election day. Shockers ang lola! Hindi ko suka't akalaing ang aking unica hija ay may tibay ng loob, tapang ng dibdib, tigas ng sikmura to put herself out there upang possibly ay mamuno ng tribo ng student council. Noong araw kasi ay hindi kinaya ng powers ko ang mga ganitong chenez chenez. Sure, lumalaban ako sa mga debate, balagtasan, oration, declamation, pero never akong tumakbo for a position sa student body. Very shy kasi ako eh. Sa trulili nga, I used to skip the first week of school because I didn't want to get involved with the "I nominate blah blah for President ek-ek...I second the motion ek ek". I fear rejection kasi. Ayokong napapahiya. Eh kung matalo ako? Pano kung walang bumoto sa akin? What I realize now is, bali-baligtarin ko man ang mundo, talo pa rin ako kasi I never tried. Unlike Alexis.

Kaya nga I really admire her. She prepared her speech, na talaga namang beautiful ang naging resulta. I gave her tips on how to deliver her speech well, and nasundot ang aking puso when she said "I'm lucky to have a mom like you. You're good at this!". She said she received the loudest applause, and a lot of kids pledged to vote for her. She's still pretty new in this school (her second year) but she's doing real well. She's involved with strings (violin), she's a teacher's assistant, in the honor roll, and she has a social life na hindi nakakasagabal sa kanyang mga grades. Perfect balance, ikanga.

We still don't know the results of the election. We probably won't find out until next week. Manalo or matalo, PANALO sya sa mga mata ko.
