The Medium is The Message

According to Marshall McLuhan, the medium we use affects the message it tries to send, for instance is... The Internet. In using the internet we sort of get the message that whatever info we're trying to send with it is fast, since the internet is well, fast... Did you understand? HAHAHA! 

Anyway, this post is not really about learning Communication Theories, in fact this is about Mr. and Ms. Communication Arts pageant, which happened last September 22,2012... HAHAHAHAHA! SUUUUUUUUPERRR LATE POST!

I remember wanting to join last year, and even posting it here :) I wasn't able to join because our class chose my other classmate to represent our class, but I really don't mind. So, this year I joined the pageant because:

1. It's my last year in college!
2. I'm in desperate need of diversion
3. I want to wear a ballgown (we didn't have a prom back in Highschool :( so yeah, that's why)
4. I want to perform at the Medicine Auditorium in UST :)))
5. I want to challenge myself if I can wear heels and still smile :))
6. It's my LAST YEAR BEING A C.A. STUDENT IN UST!

Anyway, let me tell you what happened by showing the photos of the coronation :) :

I remember being asked: "If you were to be the next big thing, what will be your screen name?" :))) I answered: "I wouldn't change my name, because I think my name fits me really well. I mean, c'mon, Alejandro is a good name, and it has a good recall!" HAHAHA! I think I had a lot of Hot Chocolate that day :) *SABAWx3214

To cut everything short, I did not win :)) HAHAHA! Though I won Miss Congeniality! It only means that I played my medium effectively :) Anyway, I really don't mind if I did not win, because my main objective for joining this is not because I'm after the crown, but because I just want to try something new :) and well, I joined because I want to challenge myself :) Though, if only I could put this on my resume :)) HAHAHA! Lastly, I joined because I really really want to divert myself from THAT heartache... and so far... err, I think I'm getting there :)

Love,
Nicoco♥
