Uhmm…what speech?
October 4, 2007I guess it's about time to write something on this blog of mine. It's been like what? 2 months since the last entry.
Time sure slows down when one is indulged in thoughts. The FX ride earlier this week turned out to be a slow ride along the nostalgic memory lane as I suddenly had an urge to reminisce about my life. And the couple in the FX with me who was talking about everyday life as if I'm listening to a live slice-of-life show didn't help but only stimulate my brain dig out more of these memories from not long ago.
I sure got another lucky break today as I was lucky enough to attend my Retorika class on time today. It turns out that today is the day where we do that speech thing which is half of our finals exam. Being the oblivious guy that I am, I only knew of this when our professor announced to the class to prepare our speeches as she drew the first person lucky enough to take center stage.
Lucky enough, that person was not me. Me who quickly brought out a paper and pen after the proclamation that today is "Speech Day" as I tried all my best to think of a topic that is good and sensible enough to be used in a discussion. I am at a disadvantage but was relieved to see that I am not alone in my problem since a quick scan of the classroom revealed a number of students that's also scribbling something on paper.
Like I have the time to be looking around the classroom! With time running out, I decided on discussing Philippine Cybergames and its implication on the Filipino Youth. I knew I have to act fast and think of a good discussion flow because I sense that I'll be called on soon. And soon enough, I did. Just like on cue, I was called on to recite my impromptu speech just as I was writing down the closing remarks for my wonderfully created speech done in a rush.
Everything turned out pretty well; that is if you disregard the fact that I am bad with oral communication much less a sensible speech but I really feel that I managed to get my point across.
Well anyway, that's it for this entry.
