Ms. TC Diaries

If there was a talent of mine that I'd brag about, it would be my magical ability to dream. And my dreams are anything but small.

The photo above shows the crown I got from winning Ms. TC 2013. It was such an unexpected victory, seeing how much I was busy the night before and all. I was up the whole night for projects and homework to be passed on the day of the pageant, I rushed to get my nails done and got late for final rehearsals. I never expected anything close to first runner-up.

The notebook underneath is what I call my dream journal. Do you happen to have one too? Well I suggest you get one because man, it works wonders. Any notebook will do. You just have to be capable of fearless, ambitious dreaming. Two years ago, I made a list of things I really wanted to achieve. I wrote in number 2, "...you want to be a beauty queen." Days after our council president announced I would be representing our department for Ms. TC, I wrote on the first pages of my dream journal... "Ms. TC Material." And here I am now sharing how my dream was realized!

I started to work toward this dream, even to the point of practicing my walk in heels while having a Thermodynamics book on my head! Whenever my book falls, I read a page off of our assigned chapter. There were challenges along the way and I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends and family.

This experience encouraged me to dream some more. This definitely is not the last of my dreams, I've still a hundred pages to fill after all.
