amazing race

So the Singapore boys won while the Pinoy team, the perennial first runner-up for most of the race, came in last.

Irony of ironies. Such is life. You just never know what you're going to get in the end.

But I'm happy for Collin and Adrian. They've always been my choice because they were so determined and focused yet humble and considerate. For them, it was all about the journey and how they went through it. They didn't try to get ahead of the whole pack by being dishonest or scheming. They just did their best. And they had faith.

I've always believed that when one has faith in oneself, he has already won half the battle.

In the end, it wasn't about strength and stamina. It was a mind game, after all. It was about which flag came first.

It's a lot like life. You just never know what happens in the end. No matter how much you try, a single road block can change the course of things forever. One just has to keep his fingers crossed that things would turn out only for the better.

Amazing, indeed.
