Ever tried smiling so hard that your face hurts?

Same rule applies when you laugh so hard too, or if you're grinning like an idiot, or looking like an idiot by being so kilig..... Huh. Yeah so anyway, my face hurting was just because I was so very happy two nights ago. I know, such a late post. Was supposed to blog about it, but last night I was so busy doing needle work! My fingers have band aids and it's not even my fave ones, can't believe I ran out of the purple ones with stars on them. Sad, sad fingers.

So a few weeks ago I posted this blog entry entitled LIKE ME, and other entries mentioning about the life changing decision I made by auditioning to become a DJ for Green Giant FM. I've always been into radio and becoming a DJ was like a secret ambition I had. I actually pulled a Gerard Way and just did it- I signed up, made it to my interview, got interviewed. 'Cause I can just die tomorrow and I never want to spend my whole life regretting not ever being able to live out my dreams.

Getting in the hunt was another thing. Being one out of thirty unique and oh so talented individuals- I really had to step it up if I wanted to at least be remembered. I've been a decent finalist during the six weeks of DJ Hunt 2012, I guess I did kind of stand out when I used "I ROCK HARD LIKE THE BATONG MATIGAS, WHUUUT" as my signature statement or when I got my face painted ala Bowie as my identifier. I've never been very approachable, but I had to get out of my comfort zone. I mean, this is the radio, it really isn't about me, but what I can do with what I have. And did I mention the other finalists? They were just so brilliant and amazing and funny! And I was so uncool in comparison to how fantastic they all were and I feel really honored that I got close to a lot of finalists. So it was hard at first, but I did get to make new friends- which was a huge accomplishment for someone who's very socially awkward. I now have GLD siblings, a babe, a homie, three asians, and TNBT, and yes, I have categories for people I heart so much.

Two nights ago, they finally announced the winners of the hunt. I really didn't expect anything, I didn't assume that I'd be one of the finalists they'd pick. Besides having really low self-esteem, I think if anyone deserves to get in, they should be all the finalists I got close to. No bias at all, they're just that fantastic. And amaaaaazing. And all the positive attributes a person can have, with extra funny and spontaneous on the side.

Unlike some of the finalists who were really brave, I chose to hear the announcement from my bedroom. I'd rather hear that I didn't win in the confines of my personal space than where everyone can see me weep like a girl. I know I said I wasn't expecting to win, but that doesn't mean I won't feel bad about it. Of course you'd still get upset if you don't get in something you put so much time and effort into. Who doesn't? But I texted the closest people I knew were gonna win, I mean the ones I was that close to 'cause I had their numbers, wishing them the best 'cause I knew there were gonna get in anyway.

To cut the story short, I got in. I am now officially a member of GGFM, where my status of being a finalist just got promoted to DJT! =))

Funny tho how I learned that I got in. I wasn't able to hear my name on air, just like what happened when they announced the finalists last time. I was actually downstairs eating when they announced that I , Finalist Arielle, actually survived the hunt. I had missed calls and finally got to answer my phone. Everyone was just screaming, CONGRATULATIONS, and I was all, Say whuuuut? And they were all, YOU GOT IN!! and then I go, .... I DIDN'T HEAR MY NAME, YOU GUYS! I WAS EATING!

I am such a carrot.

Also I can now order a hoodie. Aaaand spend moolah.

p.s.
Don't know how I'm supposed to confess my like to my crush=)) Why did I dare myself? Why past!Arielle? Whhhhhy?
