“WAITING”

The word “waiting” is very memorable for me. I remember that day, they have announced the winner. I’m very much excited to go to Sunshine Coast Australia, and when I first saw the place in Google, I said, wow this is my dream place. But I have encountered lots of sacrifices, to wait before everythings is to up, the visas, passport etc., They have announced it in September, and now it is February already., and for me waiting with patience is a good attitude, I will be not tired to wait again. I believe everything has a reason why we wait and soon, we will realize the importance of it.

“You have the attraction to anyone. You are a realistic, confident, happy and a genius in the field of education, music, art and singing. You have attitude problems of temper. However, you do a lot of sacrifices for the family. You out the family at the very highest places sometimes ignores happiness itself. You were born to give contribution to the world. So you’re a good and a very happy.”

“My video shows all my adventures here in our place, Panay, Philippines. Let every day be an adventure, let every step be a beginning. Because the world is my ultimate playground.” – Adrian Jandongan, http://www.adventureniadrian.blogspot.com/

Adrian Jandongan, a young photographer, video maker, graphics artist and nurse rolled into one, is the champion in the World’s Best Study Adventure hosted by the Sunshine Coast Australia recently.

“The event was designed to promote Australia’s tourism industry. They also want to open the country to international students and immigrants,” Jandongan told The News Today.

Jandongan narrated that the contest entailed making a one-minute video about adventure in one’s country and posting this in the internet. After the voting through Facebook, Jandongan, an artist in the United States and another from China made it to the top three. Then, their videos were judged by representatives from the Sunshine Coast Australia Council in order to come up with the champion.

His prize is a seven-week trip adventure in Australia. The trip consists of a tour in Sunshine Coast, course on Australian English, video production, cooking lessons and more. “There will be travel, too,” he excitedly said.

“After this trip, I will share what I have learned to my fellow Ilonggos,” he said. “I want to help my family, so if there is an opportunity to work there, I will grab it,” he added.

Jandongan shared that he and his family experienced how it is to be poor. “My parents are not professionals. We went to public school. During my elementary years, my sister Vanessa cooked food and I sold this in school. Sometimes, I sold scrap in order to earn money,” he narrated.

When his sister became a midwife and got a job in Ireland, she helped improve the family’s standard of living.

“From this experience, I could say to my fellow youth to love their dreams. To use their talents well. Be humble. And most of all, be grateful for what they have,” he said.

Jandongan will leave for Australia on February 28.
