day 5 in big guelph

Damn.

That's all, bye! lol


Just kidding.

Today was the day we've all  been waiting for! ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL POETRY SLAM 2012!

I didn't win $10k. But I managed to get to the second round of my bout, and placing 6th! It was an amazing experience. I love meeting new people and making friends. I am beginning to become a very friendly person. Less awkward, just more confident! Many people came up to me after my bout and gave me hugs and told me that my poetry touched them. I am blessed to have some sort of effect on strangers. It makes me feel so amazing and inspiring... The fact that I can connect to people just by telling my stories.


I also performed my rape piece for the very first time.

I also realized that I have my own signature style. I am very calm, and loving, and caring, and I just want others to listen to me and learn. I am soft-spoken, but it is okay. I have a voice and people are willing to listen.

Oh.. and I had my first poutine today! Cool! I didn't finish it yet.

Here are pictures:
