ME as the CITHM Idol 2012

Before our college week, the whole CITHM is so very busy for planning and preparation for our festival.  One of the main highlights of our festival is the CITHM Idol. At first, I had a doubt in joining again in this competition because last year, in the Hanguna Festival I already joined and I won the 2^nd place award. And now in Hermosa Festival, I joined again. I feel so much pressure when I joined for the 2^nd time around. Actually Ms. Trazy Grace Sulit encourages me to join again in the CITHM Idol, the truth is I don’t want joined but Ms. Trazy pushes me to join again because she says that there is nothing wrong in joining again in the contest, I must prove myself that I can make it to the top, that is her advice to me, so I join again, eventually in the audition room, I was very nervous because I don’t have any prepared song to be sung in the audition proper. I’m very ashamed to myself because my voice is very rough; I actually sung moderate songs in the audition. After the audition, I said to myself that I can’t make in the audition, but that night of the same day, I received a text message from Ate Fatima Rance, I was so shocked because it is stated in the text message that I passed in the audition and I’m the one of the participant to compete for the title. Days after that audition, we, the contestants called for our pictorial, I met my co-contenders for the competition. We had a great bonding with each other. I was very glad because I made new friends again. That is one of the highlights of being a contestant of CITHM Idol, the FRIENDSHIP. Day’s passes and we are now preparing and practicing for the launching of our college week. We are actually quite nervous because we will now be exposed and seen by the people who will watch us as we prove our hidden talents to them. Our launching is a great success, we are very happy because we overcome the launching night. After that night, we rest for days to be ready for our much awaited competition. I practiced and trained myself to be preparing for the competition; I pursue and push myself to be getting ready for the idol night. Also we practice our piece with the band, at first I adjusted myself because my song in not much suited for the band to be played, so I help myself and also the band for us to be in rhythm. I earn so much confidence for myself because I’m afraid of my one contender, he is so skilled when it comes to singing, and I don’t have the level of singing skills than he has. I already said to myself that I can’t make it, but then I prayed to God, I wish that He will help when I step up on the centre stage. And the big night has come, I’m so very nervous on that day, I can’t explain the feeling I felt on that night. We had our very successful production number and we performed our elimination song. While I’m singing my elimination song, I don’t feel any pressure, I said to myself that just I perform my song well and I knew I will make it to the top 6, and I did it. And then I sung my final song, I just perform with a very great confidence knowing I can beat all my contenders, and that’s it I get the title I want to get, the CITHM Idol 2012. I almost cried on the stage when the MC said that I’m the winner, the chance to compete in the LYCEUM Idol 2013. I said to myself, I will get back again the trophy of LYCEUM Idol to our department to make a big name on our school. Hoping that it will be a great success me.
