The Winning Entry
new year, new hope, new life, new me
I still think, Gill's entry is much better, I am not being biased here. Well, the winner is a Filipina, so I guess, I should be happy for her. ;)
As a child, Austria sparked my imagination of Europe, with grandiose castles, churches, plazas and gardens through the film "The Sound of Music." But as I grew up to become a student of literature, I became more aware of Europe's role in the histories which constantly make, unmake and remake me as a woman, feminist, Filipino and even as a citizen of the world. Perhaps of all Europe, Spain and its capital Madrid would be the best way to understand my country's past and culture and possibly reflect on its futures. Finally as one who travels to find myself, I need to lose myself first and what better way to do it but to go to a place that is unfamiliar but captivating, emerging but old, quaint but definitely resilient, Prague!
