The Champion

I wanna be a child again.  At that particular time when I was focused and determined to do what I want and I was slowly living it out.  That’s the young Sheggz, I know.

When I want something, I never stop until I get it.  I am not interested at getting honors at school but I was excited and challenged every time I ran around the playground and had someone timed it.  My classmates had been one of my human stopwatch.  At that time, I want to imitate the champion… who else but “Lydia de Vega”.  Academics had never been my interest, it has always been Music, Arts and P.E. <Sports.>

That’s what my Lolo told me.  If I wanna be great, imitate the champion, not the runners-up.  I ran like a boy and “Hagarang Suguran” had been one of my favorite sports where I can beat my playmates and had my own strategy of winning that.

I don’t care whether my teachers always yelled at me “Pasok!!! Sabay Pingot sa Tenga”, we won in Hagarang Suguran and Patintero… that’s more of an achievement hehehe.

I admire the young me more than I admire myself now… the vibrant Sheggz, I always missed… The warrior in spirit…
