THE COUNTDOWN: Day 5 of 31


Challenges welcomed my month. I'm not going to let them bring me down. I'm up for anything. So bring it on!

July is my birth month. 31 is the day! I'm excited even if I don't have concrete plans of throwing a small party or eat out. But one thing's for sure, I'll be a year older but will always be a child at heart. That will remind me of who I really am. 5 down, 26 days more!


Memory 31: Emotionally Draining



This summer has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I've been positive about the things happening in my life but at the end of the day, reality check, I'm losing my hope bit by bit.

A friend told me that she shares the same sentiment with me. "Is there something wrong with me? I gave it my best but it's always not good enough," she whined. Those words screamed inside my head.

What is happening, really? Should I give myself a break for a month or two? I'm considering a summer vacation extension in a rainy season. Yes. My situation is that bad.

I'm thankful that somehow my parents are not pushing me but the thought that I want help them really bugs me. It's not an obligation but a responsibility that pushes me to make an action. I've done a lot of actions but none paid off. Maybe trying too hard is not the key. Timing it is. Why? No matter how dedicated you are, if it's not meant for you, nothing will happen.

But seriously, this is emotionally draining. Even if I have the strength to go out everyday, my heart wants to shut down. I feel like I can give more but I don't have the energy to push through in the end. When you know what will happen, it's not exciting anymore.

Besides the Almighty Father, my family and friends are my source of strength. I just think about them or scan our reunion pictures make me the happiest. Slowly, I regain my strength.

I just want to escape for a day to a far away place. Just me. I just want my alone time again like what I had in Calereuga. But it will take me some time to be in that place. Soon.

Memory 29: The Tomb


We had bible studies before and Pastor Dunnrae always lead us. We would listen to him sing inspiring songs and share motivating stories. We also shared our thoughts and experiences, and listened to others' stories as well. It was a bonding not just with our friends and classmates but also with God.

It was September 23, 2009 when Pastor Dunn asked us to write our tombs then our friends would write good things about us. It was a memorable activity and I'm glad I've kept this one.

Memory 28: To The Person Who Loves Me Unconditionally


I had a close friend who loves me unconditionally. I've been rude and mean to her but still, she treated me the same. I love her for that. I'm sorry for everything, Cez!

I found this attached to my music notebook. It's the song she wrote for me during the time that we're apart and that I'm too selfish not to consider her feelings. Again, I'm really sorry Cez. Don't worry. I'm here, right? I'm not leaving you again.

This was handwritten by Cez. Sorry about the low quality of the camera hihi.
