I Think I Just Saved Myself

                                Do you have any moments in life, where you're in a room, an empty space, or sitting in front of a landscape with complete solitude? You enjoy the scene both what your vision witnesses and what your brain trying to see. Then thoughts come in. Will drift you in the vast of nothingness and worry. You won't have any second to ask yourself why you're thinking such things. You just have to digest it. 

                                 First of all, I want to thank my cat. When I was in the room where the darkness comes in, Mysti, my cat just literally meowed at me as if she was telling me I wasn't alone. Tears poured in and damn I'm smiling yey I'm crying. Again? 

                                 In order, here are the things that I was thinking about at that time. My funeral, when will I die, will I graduate before it, why do my Mom always mad at me, will she cry if I hang myself, maybe I just need to run, oh no it's raining I might get hit by thunder I will die dumb. whta rope should I use, do clothes will do?, oh I think I could be a good basketball player. oh nvm. I am missing my brother.

                               Maybe I just need to call a friend. Oh, I don't have one. I might have many acquaintances or colleagues, but not a single friend with whom I can share my personal problems. That's why keep a journal, keep it to myself and later I learned to submit it to God. 

                                Minutes passed, darkness seems to fade and I'm seeing the brighter side. Did I just make myself emotionally stronger? Did I just save myself? I think my cat is my angel. For that time i felt proud of myself. Because if there is an available rope at that time I might really hang myself hahahha.

                               God uses me to save myself. And I want to be the person I wish that I have when I was struggling. I want to be that person to my brother. 

 

To my brother Arnel,

                I am not perfect. And will never be. You are one of the reasons why I am still living right now. Minsan makulit si kuya, nakakainis o madalas maikli ang pasensya. But please alwasy allow me na maging kuya para sayo. If ever theres a chance, na may problema ka. Mula sa pinkamaliit hanggang sa pinakakumplikado. Sabihin mo lang sa akin, leave a call, a message or vm. And if one day, you encounter the same thing. Just remember na nandito kami para sa iyo. Lalo na si Kuya. Dadalhin kita sa Tagalag pag iyak na iyak kana. Palagi ka ring mag pray, hindi ka Niya bibiguin. Ang kahit anong problema o pagsubok palaging nandiyan yan para pabagsakin ka gahit gaaono ka pa kalakas, ang lahat ay tungkol sa kung paano ka babangon at magpapatuloy. Miss you. Love you. Fighting! -Kuya RJ

Sa babeng aking mamahalin,                           Kasalukuyan kong inihahanda at ipinagbubuti aking sarili. Kaya naman huwag kang magalala kung marunong ba akong maglaba o magkula ng damit.Kailanman ay hindi ko pagsasamain ang dekolor at ang mga puti. Magaling din akong magsukat ng sinaing o magsangag ng hindi naubos na kanin. Kung nais mo naman ng masarsang ulam, kaya kitang ipaghain ng adobo basta't habaan mo lamang ang iyong pasensya dahil sa youtube lamang ako natuto.                         Hindi ko alam kung kailan ka darating o makikilala subalit kung ito nga'y plano Niya, alam kong ito'y sa tamang oras at panahon. Sana lamang rin ay tama ang outfit ko at hindi ako mukhang dugyutin sa oras na iyon. Wala naman akong inaasahang lugar. Hindi ka rin naman siguro galing sa ibang planeta kaya't sa mundong ibabaw parin tayo ...

Doing the Work but Not Getting Payed or Any Credit

I am a private school teacher of a quite small institution. And you maybe  guessing it right away, we're quite understaff. And because we lack people to work on a project, as a teacher we are asked to lend some help for some.  As an ICT Teacher, I've been marked as part of called Research and Development Team, but basically it's just a team for marketing and promoting the school. Letting the school be known to others. It's quite a lot of task because the first projects are to create some brochures templates, tarpaulins, video plus a deadline not a strict one but of course put some pressure on the back.   And then questions came to my mind. Will I still do this work if I am not getting paid or won't get any credit from my works? Why does it feels like it is embarrassing to accept this job? Like "Pinapagod mo lamang sarili mo hindi ka naman bayad dyan. G na G ka pa." Why do I think that other people would look at me like, "Why are you so cra...

This is Where Our Journey Begins

                 Months ago, I've decided  to write my own book. Then life came. It wasn't kind. There are so much resistance contrast to that dream. I wasn't good at English, my grammar sucks, words were redundant, or you might even encounter wrong spellings of words from my blog posts. (I would love if you'd correct me.) But damn it, I am commited. This might take some time, this might take a lot of work but the weight of my dreams is greater than the hardships I might encounter. It's been decided, I will go through an endless refinement and continous improvement. I will overcome my untrue limitations.                   In order to write this dream book of mine, I had to take it step by step, little by little.                  Back then, I used to journal my memorable days on a worned out pocket notebook that I've bought on a s...
