One in a Million
Thursday morning. We would all usually be at Ate Angge's to catch another movie, but we've been late to Sociology (1130-1300) twice and the impressions made on the professor about our little movie-going group has worsened. It was supposed to be The Exorcist this morning.
So we headed to ERS instead.
Last night Bb. La Salle already took place. Representing our college were two girls, a 2nd Year Psychology student and our very own Charmagne as a 1st year Broadcast Journalism student. It was held around 5 o'clock in the evening (yes, it's considered evening since the sun sets earlier these days) and they only had 7 contestants. The event wasn't as grand as I thought, even the Miss. Atheneum (my high school) would celebrate big time compared to Bb. La Salle. I was disappointed at how the USC and them couldn't exactly make this event bigger. I thought they'd have the Severino de las Alas Auditorium with a full house audience, but instead they used the Alumnai Hall underneath the Auditorium.
But I was not disappointed anywhere else other than the planning of this event. I guess it was just supposed to be simple, and to find someone to represent DLSU-D in some other pageant in the next few weeks.
Apparantly, about half of our class attended this event to support our classmate. We cheered Charmagne (Contestant #6) on. Other Colleges had a silent approach into cheering... we were already the loudest there next to some Engineering supporters.
After a series of questions, dancing, and talk... no talent portion and swimwear... it came down to three. The first one they announced was #7, then the next was #3, and when hope felt like it was gone... the last of the three was #6. Broadjourn jumped up like we've already won, perhaps confusing Ate Chloe, an AB Com officer, who stepped in. The whole CLA was now on Charmagne while the other two represented CET and CBA.
The final question was "Equate Tourism to Terrorism" (the way the speaker said it was 'equate torezm to terror-ezem'). One girl had a charming answer, while the other had a cut-off or off-topic reply, and Charmagne gave out a nice answer but it didn't exactly slam dunk as the perfect answer.
The 2nd Runner up was announced, and it was Charmagne. We cheered her on and supported her till the end of this very fast, and very brief Bb. La Salle episode. The CET girl was 1st Runner up and Bb. La Salle 2002 was the CBA girl. I got this event covered with pictures, and I'll post them up in my Gallery in a few weeks since the film roll is still new.
Congratulations Charmagne! One in a Million.
