For the Win!

 

Friend 1: Congrats! Nanalo ka pala ng 5k sa Biogesic. Libre na!!!! ;)
Friend 2: Men panalo ka ng 5k! Stig.

 

These were two text messages that I received yesterday, the day Biogesic posted the lucky winner in their Facebook page.

Three of my friends are groupmates and they were representing LPU in Biogesic Ingat ng Damang-Dama Sineserye. At first, there were lots of schools competing, but only five were chosen to advance. Thankfully, LPU was included.

In able to get the People's Choice Award, online voting was instigated and of course, the entry with the most number of votes gets the award. One lucky voter will also get a chance to win five thousand pesos. They did not get the Peole's Choice Award and they were only declared 3rd Place. However, no matter what, they are still my champion. I supported them so much that guess what? I also won. This was for them; this was for the win!

When I got those messages, I was uncertain if this was for real. I confirmed it when my friends, who were preparing for the awards night, called to congratulate me. I also went online and saw posts tagged to me with my name on Biogesic poster online. It sure was for real.

 

P.S. Everytime someone congratulates me, I thank them adding "I still can’t believe it."
