On Winning


 Hearing criticism on the validity of a win is one of the things a winner must endure. There will always be someone who will question either the performance or the taste of the judges. Bakit nanalo to? Bakit nanalo yan? Pano napili yan?

Yes, hearing disapproval from people may really too hard to accept but the art of enduring it is I think part of maturity. This is one thing I’ve learned by joining our college merchandise design contests. Now, I understand the meaning beneath the cliché that says people have different tastes and are entitled to their opinions. Some will like it, some will don’t. Dati nadedepress ako pag nakakarinig ako ng something na hindi maganda about sa design ko. But now, I learned to shrug it off and listen more to the not so good comments (most of them thrown unknowingly that the designer is just beside them), build from them, and do something better the next time I have the chance to do so.

My entry won on BLUEPRINTS: The College Shirt Design Contest. My design will be the official shirt of the UST College of Nursing for this year. Yay! :)

Here’s another random thing: Once I see my designs get printed or made, I suddenly have this aversion on wearing it.

  3. if he had any basis to win the fight from his performance before it ended, when he opened his mouth to the media after the fight, he lost any basis. one of the primary concepts of a sport is good sportsmanship and criticizing judges in the context he did does not evince sportsmanship -- which is the only thing that separates his sport from the common bar brawl.

    Don't mind them. Mind what you think of yourself. and that's the most important thing a person can do.

  7. hi RJ! I voted your design too! but the moment i saw the shirt (front), i knew there was something different from your actual design, which made me a little sad.

    BTW, I also like the chorale's shirt! ganda!
