Success Behind Failure

             I wondered what makes you lose a pageant,even if you know in yourself that you have a potential in winning. You know the feeling that your expecting your name to be called for the final three, eagerly waiting for the  host to utter your name,smiling poisepoly and with confident but at the end turned out to be a contrast of what your thinkig. Well, I know exactly how does it feel.
             
             I was disappointedwith the result of the Ginoong Maginoo ng Silangang Samar 2010. I was a candidate but I did not won. I know I did a great job, everything was fine as far as my performance is concerned. My costumes were good as well. Regarding with the Q and A, I would difinetely say, I answered the question precisely and I'm just true to my self when I said that. To the crowd, I was one of their favorites because everytime I'm in the catwalk they began to be wild shouting my  name and cheering for me. I dont know what's wrong, but I know in my part  there's no reason for me to lose that pageant. Ouite bad.

              When my name wasn't called to complete the top three, I asked my self , why? Why it was not me? Why it turned out to be a contrast of what I'm expecting. Why someone's name?

               I never dare toanswer those questions because I cannot change whatever the result and it wont help. As what it says, the decision of the judges are final and irrevocable. Nothing I can do but just to accept the fact that I did not won.

               But behind my grief of not winnig, I learend something. Something that an award, money or even title that a pageant offers. I learned that in a beauty pageant, you hav e to experience how to lose because not all the time you will win. Moreimportantly I learned that a person should learn how to accept defeat. Because I believe that failure is not the absence of success rather the absence of not trying. Once you fail, once you lose, its not yet over, you have the chance to correct it. We can never go back and  change what has been done, but the lesson earned will always be there and do it better next time. Yes, do it better next time.

              I will always bring that experience and earned the lesson learned. Win or lose I have to accept it. I know that God planned the result that way. I dont have any right to critisize nor question His will for me because  His will is better than my will and His plan is better than my plan. Goodluck to my future endeavor!
