Midnight Issue

5 days ago, there was a midnight issue ;p
So, there is this competition:
The 4th Annual Better Understanding for a Better World Conference sponsored by the
Civilizations Exchange & Cooperation Foundation (CECF)
held by PAX and YES
The winners will get a chance to attend the conference in Disney World Resort.
I wanted to apply. Well, I don't really care about the conference. But, hey! Disney World!!
That's what makes me wanna apply, frankly...LOL
So, I have to make an essay about all the community service I've gotten involved so far and a creative piece about "America as a 'melting pot' of culture"
The deadline of the application is Dec 2oth, and the application that comes after 20th will not be accepted. Too bad for me...
actually I got plenty of time to do that... but I have a bad habit that tends to procrastinate.
However, I ended up doing that project in Dec 20th!
at 6pm, I made it to finish the essay (yay!!)
but then, I was distracted by my friend on skype, dinner and cleaning up that took forever.
at 9pm (probably) I started to work on the creative piece (I decided to make a video) while I was still chatting with my friend. I asked him for a suggestion...
While I was making the video, I keep showing my friend my video progress via webcam, and keep sking for suggestion. It was a HUGE help (thanks to Erlangga ^^)
then I finished it at 11.30
I don't know why it took so long... Maybe because I keep distracted by youtube, lol
anyway, I got only 30 minutes left! ahh,, that's easy... sending emails only take 5 minutes.
But, a chaos happened!
Yahoo.com stopped working!
First, it took sooo long to attach the video
Second, sending FAILED!!!
it pissed me off!
then, I tried use my account in santbani.org
It didn't work either!!
I wanted to cry...
at 11.57, I remember that my friend has hotmail account. I jumped on skype, and asked him whether I can use his account of not...
My friend = my angel
he let me!
So, I logged in and attached the file... (3 minutes left!!)
It took so long, but I made it to send them
at 00.11
huaaaaaa!!!
hiks...hiks...
but at least I turned it in...
it's gonna be a big regret for me if spent hours to make them and I can't turn them in. And now...when I can submit them, it's a relief, although the committe might not accept my files...
anyway,,, thanks erlangga!!
and, here is the video that almost make me cry (not because it is sad, but because the struggle to make it), LOL
