Winning and the Xmen

Last Thursday, I flew off to Manila for the awarding ceremonies of this essay writing contest I joined. I stayed at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Conference Center for the duration of my stay in Manila. It was one of the fanciest places that I've stayed in and I had a really cool lawyer-environmental activist mother of two as roommate so I had no problem whatsover.

During the awarding ceremonies, the fact that I was a finalist still hadn't sunk in. So it was quite embarrassing for my mouth to drop when they announced my name as the winner. I got really nice prizes so I'm really happy with the resluts. The best part of the ceremonies were the discussions about "Development with Equity."

This afternoon, I watched X-Men 3: The Final Stand and got totally blown away by the movie. Now I'm really excited to see the next servings of Spiderman and Harry Potter!
