as a college freshman, nakasali ako ng National Statistics Quiz. Hindi ako nakaplace man lang, UPLB yung champion Sumali din ako ng math wizard competition sa school namin during my 2nd year. I was the first to get eliminated , it was an embarassing experience since i'm the favorite of the math profs at the school. I never joined the next year, since i realized im really a moron when faced with a simple yet tricky math problems na binibigay sa mga competitions na ganito.I could solve very difficult engg math problems given as an assignment for the weekend, pero math wizard questions with 30 second time limit, wala talaga akong talent
