Racing Towards Success

Tonight they finally showed what I've been waiting for after they have announced it last night in PBB (Pinoy Big Brother).

Last night may have been the nomination night and things were pretty tight with the housemates. It was there second nomination night and after the first two-in-one housemates, Marylain and Jen, of the twenty six K, left the house the night before, things were more serious than the last week.

But besides the announcement of the nominees for eviction, and the big surprise of Kuya (Big Brother) on the shows host, Toni Gonzaga, being the second house guest, things became more exciting (and nervous) with the disappearance of Gabby Dela Merced, the racing goddess of PBB's season 2 Celebrity Edition.

As her fellow housemates got worried with her being MIA, Gabby Dela Merced was on her way to Subic to attend a racing competition.

Earlier, the race was shown.....

For Gabby to have only practiced at a new course (which she's not familiar with) just that day, being able to go to the fourth spot was considered good, as they said. And, so, without further ado, the race began....

Gabby was doing pretty well. At the start on the race Gabby was already at the fourth place, 'till she has gained her way on third. But as she tries to get pass the other zooming cars upfront,

Gabby's car, on the ninth lap, got an engine problem.

The team tried to get it fixed, changing the engine within the limit of two hours. They finished it alright and found a problem with the battery. With only one minute to go before their limit for pit stop ends, Gabby's team successfully made the car running, thus the goddess zoomed her way into the tracks.

Gabby won the first as she soared her way on the twelfth and final lap.

"All odds were against me, but the universe was still good to me...."

With these words that Gabby said in the confession room, after coming back from Subic, I was reminded at how God was indeed good.

Just like every living creature, life, for us is a race. There may be times when we met holes and bumps, and like Gabby, engine problem, still if we believe and persevere, we will not just see victory, but definitely take grasp of it.

Right now, things may not be going according to my plan, but I know this pit stop is worth it, for I intend to finish my own race, with God as my coach--and win it.....
