This is probably one of my most blessed moments in the entire history of my life. The week didn't start of that well, but it sure did end with a BANG!
To start off, I got into the MarkProf Top 25 Marketing Management Trainees for 2008, which was not that expected as I have explained in my previous entry.
Then today, the day of the dreaded Barry exam. I wasn't able to sleep that much last night since I had to read a ton of Barry readings for the exam. I don't even know if I remembered the important details, all I was concerned with was at least familiarizing myself with the concepts and what not.
Before I left for school I received a text message from Jan that our PRSP (Public Relations Society of the Philippines) entry was part of the Top 7. I really felt SO happy because I mentioned in my previous entry that if we did not get any call from PRSP by yesterday, I would not hope anymore. But then again, we got in. Not just that, I learned from Barry (our OC 142 teacher and a member of the committee) that our entry was 2nd with Diliman being the 1st. He told me that if we do well in the presentation we could really beat Diliman. So much joy, so much blessings.
Take note, the PRSP sent the contest guidelines to the universities last July 3. The deadline for the entries was on August 29. We received our copy August 27. But I guess God really had a better plan for us, the deadline was moved to September 5. So little time to prepare yet we are still in the top 3.
We are now going to present our proposal on the 28th, and we will be there to win. This is for all the sleepless nights, the tears, the quarrels, the money we spent. This is for Jaymie's grandpa and grandma who let us stay in their house for the initial planning stage, for Pesky's mommy, sister, househelp, househelp's baby for the second and semi final overnight. This is for Alex and Tong who despite them being not part of the team spent hours of no sleep just to help us with our collaterals. This is for my mom and dad who does not know what I'm getting myself into.
To everyone, WE WILL WIN THIS.
Congratulations to Pam's group as well, they are also in the Top 7. Two entries from UPM. This is definitely a first.
