I pity those parents who work so hard to send their children to school and in return, at the end of semester receiving a letter from university/school.. and when they opened they see how many "fail" subjects their children had!
Dear Students,
If you cannot make your 'future' as your inspiration to succeed, at least make the "blood" and "sweat" of your parents an inspiration not to fail!
Someday, you will be a parent too and You'll reap what you sow.
It is okay to enjoy your youth, but you must know your limitation, and you must know what to prioritize.
I do not consider myself as a very intelligent woman, in fact, I have several areas in which I'm not good at, but because I wanted to succeed, I worked hard to improve on those areas, even though I had received a 'not so good grade', it's fine. I wouldn't be who I am now without those marks.
You are the creator of your future, your destiny. So whatever happens to you, do not blame the people around you,not god, not the nature.
You have the freewill whether to allow "bad influence" to influence you.
Regards,
A FOREVER STUDENT

A letter to students
How do you define success?
If the definition of Success is having a HIGH PROFILED CAREER and a HIGH Paying JOB or HAVING HUNDREDS of PLAGUE of RECOGNITION then, I'm not successful.
However, if the definition of SUCCESS is having a job that allows you to do what you really love, you have enough to support yourself and buy what you want, travel a lot, being happy and no stress, then, i consider myself as a VERY SUCCESSFUL WOMAN. :)
SUCCESS definitions' varies, it can mean contentment, having stable job and enough to feed yourself and your family. It always depends on you.

My Volunteering Adventure in Thailand Part 2
It's already 29th of May 2014, and I was reading my blog entry and found out this entry is missing! I will try hard to recall what occurred during my volunteering in Thailand.
Is Suvanna and Mr S mad at me because I was unable to join them? I haven't the slightest idea. Natalie and I went back to school on our own. We took a cab and then, get off at the bus stop. We supposed to walk from the bus stop to reach the school, luckily, there's a kind parent of one of our students who gave us a ride. Honestly, i cannot imagine walking 5 to 6 miles!
On my 6th day of volunteering, i was so anxious to see Suvanna and Mr S. I have to apologize even I don't do anything wrong! But Mr S isn't around and Suvanna never mention that topic. I taught kids again, this time I have additional cute students.
On my 7th to 8th day, I continue teaching kids and at the same time playing with them during break time. I was able to meet another foreign visitor from Norway. Finally, I talked to Mr S and tried to settle the issue that bothered me for several nights. I worried for nothing! He's such a good man!
This is also the last time I saw Mr S, as he was off to attend something important. He gave me my certification ahead of time, took pictures and waived goodbye. I also made the certification of all kids who attended the English Summer Program.
On my last day of volunteering, we made a family tree on the school wall. Teach a little and submitted the lesson plan for my 9 days of volunteering. Before I left, the kids had prepared a very heart touching goodbye. They enclosed me on a circle while singing, until the circle gets smaller and they hugged me and we all landed on the ground. They gave me letters too. It was one of the best moments I have in my life. It's unforgettable and absolutely heart breaking goodbye! I can't imagine parting with them. They are all so lovely!
That day, I left Chiang Rai and went to Bangkok to travel to Siem Riep. Crossing the border alone. I had this funny experience in Siem Riep, Cambodia. I met this man when I visited a shop with my new travel companion I met when visiting Angkor Wat. This man talks about religion and marriage which I completely opposed. He kept insisting his personal opinion and beliefs on me! He even asked me to marry him several times. I told him no! And he told me, that in case I change my mind, just inform him. Before we left the store, he told my new friend to guide me because I am lost! I told him I am not! I am only at the right age to marry but not in the right mind! There's no way I will marry someone who doesn't respect my beliefs and someone I do not love!
It was a wonderful journey though :)

My Volunteering Adventure in Thailand
I am currently here in Chiang Rai, Thailand for a volunteering mission. A 2week english teaching to kids in Ban Namtok Pattana School.
I found them via VolunteachThailand, and Suvanna is my contact. She's very nice, as well the school director whom we call Mr S. I paid 159USD, you can stay as long as you want with a minimum of 2 weeks. There are other areas you can choose from. I chose Chiang Rai because I heard it's a beautiful place, which in fact is very true.
When I arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport via Pal on Oct 11, 5:30pm(Thailand is an hour behind to Philippines), I was able to exchange 200dollars coz the clerk told me it would be wise if I change my Philippine pesos in the city. I bought an AIS simcard at the airport for 150 baht. I took the airport link till Phaya Thai station(45Baht) and transferred to BTS Phaya Thai station heading to Mochit station for 35Baht. From Mo Chit Station, I took the motorbike going to Northern Bus Terminal for 100baht. I purchased my ticket going to Chiang Rai for 483 Baht - upperdeck. Took me 13 hours to reached Chiang Rai.
When I get off the bus, Suvanna was there waiting for me together with Mr S. Just a little chatting and they drove me to the guest house where I'm staying during weekend - it's called Chiang Rai Cafe located at the heart of Chiang Rai.
Since it's Saturday, Suvanna has toured me around the walking night street.. It was really fun! Too many items to buy, lively people.. there's even program wherein many people were dancing, it some sort of exercise though. I was able to taste their street food too!
The next day, i just stayed in the guest house and waited for our departure to the school. I met Natalie, who is also a volunteer. I'm thankful she agreed to share room with me! I cannot imagine staying alone in that place. I'm such a coward :D
First day of Volunteering:
I met the kids, they are all cute and playful. I cannot recall all their names though. I was assigned to P2 kids, the big challenge here is not only how to teach but also how to get their attention. I have no experience of teaching kids. I used to teach korean and japanese english but they are adults. But this time, they are kids!
It was so tiring but it was fun! That's the day when i concluded that teaching is not really for me.
2nd day of Volunteering:
After the flag ceremony, Mr S officially introduced me to the students and after that, he gave me a crash course in teaching! It's singing while teaching, so it would be easier for the kids to remember and at the same time they're having fun.
He would ask me, sing apple, elephant, sphagetti, banna, hotdogs, etc. Like this:
Apple Apple,
I like Apple
You like Apple
You and I like apple
Do you like Apple
Do you like Apple
Please tell me
Please tell me
Do you like Apple
Do you like Apple
Please tell me
Please tell me
Do you like Apple?
Yes I do. I like Apple.
Do you like Apple?
No I don't. I like Mango.
I've been doing this to the kids. When I have to introduce new words, phrases, I use this tune, I sing it, clap my hands, dance, anything!!!
I've never done this before, it was a whole new experience to me.
Teaching also test your patience, believe me, i really thought I have no patience with kids, but I actually do! I am enjoying it. Maybe because we think alike. haha
3rd day of Volunteering
While I was having a discussion, Mr S came over and watched me dealing with kids. My way is kinda really wrong.. so he taught me a technique on how to teach.. again, #1 Presentation #2 Practice #3 Production
My problem with teaching is that, i cannot move on when one of my students can't get it correctly. The tendency is that the other students get bored. What am I supposed to do?
When they no longer listen to me, i have to draw something on the board.. I drew doraemon, etc. Haha
I honestly don't like being watch, it feels so uncomfortable, but I understand the purpose. I'm not good, and I need to be taught as well.
4th day of Volunteering
No classes today. A couple visited the school, so we prepared for their arrival, kids performed. When they left, Natalie and I took a nap, when we woke up, no one is around. The kids went home. Our fault, we didn't take responsibility of those children.
5th day of Volunteering
Finally it's friday. I love friday. We had a crazy day!!! Some politicians came over and so we have to pay attention to them. We danced like crazy, it was a total feast! haha I love it!
We left the school around 4pm and went to the guest house. Mr S came and had a little chat.
They planned of what to do on Saturday, well, he was just talking to Natalie, so I thought I am not part of it. I actually felt I don't exist at all. I'm so silly!
Natalie and I ate at the night bazaar and then, visited a bar. I asked her to dare me to drink, so I drink Jameson and Tequila. Now, I wonder why my friends in the Philippines never even invited me to go with them and drink. I'm not a drinker, but If I am invited, i might try :)
On Saturday, I've decided to go according to my plan and went to Burma. Around 11:30 am, i checked my phone, 5 missed calls from Suvanna! oh my god! I just texted her and told her I'm in Burma and that i'll be back by 5pm.
When i got back in my guest house, and Natalie arrived, she told me that Suvanna and Mr S expected me to come with them.. i was shocked! I'm in trouble again! I completely misunderstood the situation. I would be very happy to go with them to tour Chiang Rai, but I really felt I am uninvited coz they never talk that plan about me even though we're all together the other day. So i really believed I shouldn't go with them. I cannot ask if I can go with them, when it was so obvious in the conversation that he was just referring to Natalie, he doesn't even look at me.
Well that's okay with me. Again, it was a misunderstanding on my part. I emailed to apologize. I really do hope they are not mad at me. It's not my intention to miss such a great opportunity to travel with them. I'm really bothered about that issue. I cannot afford to have them think ill of me! I shall talk to them tomorrow and explain things. I wish to ask also if it's possible to leave a day early though I've committed 2 weeks.
Around 9pm, I hangout with Natalie and her friend from California whom she met during her travel to Pai. And her friend's friend from Australia, whom she met here. Haha.. I got drunk lastnight, and i forgot their names, I'm sorry, should you ever read this blog of mine. I am so grateful meeting all of you.
We just went for a drink in peace for peace bar I think, i'm not sure with the name too! Haha
I got distracted when these 2 american guy seated in our table... I don't like what they're talking about, it's nasty!!! I tried to focus on listening with Natalie and my new friends, but it was so noisy! Anyway, it was a fun night. This is my 3rd time hanging out and drinking with people I met during my solo travel. First is Sanghee, whom I met in Jeju Island, and 2nd, with Natalie.
So now, i shall go out and buy myself a lunch. I'm super hungry! I'm gonna worry about my worries tomorrow! It won't change anything today anyway.
If you wish to contact this school, let me know. You're gonna love those kids. The place is beautiful too especially if you appreciate nature. Suvanna and Mr S are both kind. They'll treat you as if you are part of their family.
This is the perks of travelling alone, you get to meet new people and experience new things. I must say that my behavior is sometimes displeasing! I often forgot to say Sawadee ka.. Oh my!
I get use into bowing my head to acknowledge a person's presence and smile at them. Hay.. Culture differences. It's not like I can change in a day or 2. It takes time, and I'm trying.
I'll keep you posted on my 6th day to 10th day of my volunteering next week :D
Sep 11, 2013
Are you contented with your life?
Have you had enough of what you always do? Or Are you even contented with your life?
Are you happy?
Can you be thankful at the end of the day and have no regrets?
Does "I wish", "I hope", and "How I wish" ever comes out of your mouth?
Are there things you look forward having or doing?
Can you say that you're ready to die any moment?
TO ME It's A NO.
Why?
I am happy indeed. That is because I choose to be happy instead of burdening myself with problems; problems are always there, it is us who must decide how are we going to start and ends our day. Always keep the positive attitude. Enjoy life no matter how tough your day is.
I am always thankful to God for every day he allows me to live, I consider it a true blessing! Regrets? I don't have that. Why should I? I live my day as if its the last day, so as much as possible, I want to be happy no matter what happens! I do what I want, regardless of its outcome for as long as it pleases me even though the outcome turns out bad, but that's fine, everything is not going to happen according to my plan.
I also prefer saying EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE instead of NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. The first one sounds so positive! Though it has the same meaning.
I always have I WISH! That is not because of regrets of not doing something, but I wish I will blah blah.. i always look forward for tomorrow, it's like making your dreams come true and not the "i wish" i could have done better... no no no.. I just have to do good coz "sometimes being the best means being the least. Be good even after you make a mistake" ~ that's a quote from It takes a Man and a Woman movie. Very applicable!
There are so many things I wanted to do that making it hard for me to choose which to prioritize! Coz I wanted to maximize my time, I ended up being so OCCUPIED! I think I'm going crazy! Yet I feel like as if I am doing less. I enrolled in Japanese Class, I have a work, I have my postgrad studies 9 units - 3 subjects, I am attending English Classes, my driving lesson, completing requirements for my plan to study abroad, and the review classes, exams, requirements... Oh, Information OVERLOAD. lol Still, no matter how busy I am, I always make time for my leisure, I read books before going to sleep, I still have time to chat/facebook, watch a movie, travel and more. It's pretty exhausting, but it makes me happy. I feel like I am superwoman!
Dying? Oh no! I don't even want to grow old what else more to die? I can never be ready to die, never!
I share my sentiments with my close friend, and this is what he said to me
"I mean happiness is just a feeling but enjoyment is a recognition of your achievement. You feel empty because the feeling is gone and leaving your self searching."
I completely agreed with this, i keep on searching! It's a never-ending process, searching for what will make you truly complete - contented.
LESSON LEARNED:
If you want something to happen, then, make a move! Don't just pray and pray, it won't change anything unless you add additional efforts.
It's so easy to say " Just be contented with what you have" But that is so HARD TO DO! When you know exactly something is missing. Just find it otherwise, you will end up miserable.
Just always be happy, stay positive.
Are you a girly or just love wearing comfortable outfit?
I'm a not a super girly or kikay type of girl. I seldom wear dress or sandals, in fact, I wear them occasionally As much as i want to wear jewelries and other accessories, i cannot! I have skin allergy to metals.
And since I'm always on the go, i always wear my most comfortable outfit, i wear my sneakers and shorts all the time. I only wear dress occasionally or if i'll go somewhere and I don't want to carry heavy baggage.
I would sometimes wear long sleeves shirts and a panjama when going to the beach coz i don't want to get sunburn, oh well, at least I wear proper attire when swimming. You don't always have to wear swimsuit, especially when you're not "THAT" confident. Just wear something comfortable.
It's a good thing that my weakness which is being insensitive is also my greatest strength. I do not care whatever other people tell or think of me. For as long as I am comfortable and I am not causing other people trouble. If I have to worry everytime what other people think, i would end up pleasing them and will never enjoy.
LESSON LEARNED:
JUST BE YOURSELF! DON'T PLEASE OTHER PEOPLE, JUST ENJOY.

Do Good Deeds To Others
With the continuous rainfall in several parts of the Philippines, many places most especially in Metro Manila are suffering from flash flood.
I've been contemplating whether I'll go to work today or just stay at home and work remotely. It's really not safe to stay outside today, as you might get stranded with this heavy rain. I'm just thankful I received an email today from my boss telling we have options to work at home.
As of now, while working, I am also retweeting tweets on twitter for those affected areas seeking for evacuation, this is the least i can do to help for now. Tomorrow is holiday, It's a good day to do volunteering for affected areas. Who would like to come???
Ps
The thunderstorm is really scary!!!

Failure is not the end! It only means you have to try more
Many of us who suffer from failure are so afraid to try again. Don't you think Failure means to Try again?
I just like to share my experience. When I graduated from College, I thought working in a call center would be great. So I tried and I tried and I failed. I failed 9 times! I only get to Final, and failed to pass the final interview ~ Always. Then, i realized, maybe call center isn't really for me. So I tried applying for a job that fits my resume or the field I finished. I got the job!
You know what I learned from my experience? Not because you want it, you can get it. And not because, its not easy to get, you will not try. You just have to strive harder!
Since I had attended many interviews and failed, i gained confidence. I never get nervous when I have to go for an interview. I never expect, if I get the job, then, i get it. If not, then, it only means, I have to try more till I get one.
C'mon, if you cannot even believe in yourself, don't expect employers to believe or have faith in you. You just need to have faith in yourself. Fighting!
What if? QA
Finally! I have given up. There's no point on sticking or waiting for something to happen when you know from the beginning it will never work out the way you always wanted.
Anyway, it doesn't affect me at all, as I always keep moving forward and seldom look back.
Good bye!
________________
If I am not who I am today, I am probably somebody. XD
QA:
If a genie will appear in front of you and asks for your 3 wishes... what would it be?
---1.. Power to time travel ... 2... Make a world a better place 3... I wish to live a simple life, not like this.
If you can be anything you wanted to be, who would it be, or what would it be?
--- I want to be the person whom people cannot live without! I want to be useful to everyone, hmm, I also want to become a scientist or an astronaut, i find these fields really interesting. Teaching is one of the best professions in the world. I admire good teachers.
If you can change anything about you, what would that be?
Nothing at all. I love myself. Everyone has its own defect. Mine would probably my insensitivity, but it can be remedy. I just have to think twice before saying something.
I don't have a body like Beyonce, or a beauty like Keiko Kitagawa, or a brain like Albert Einstein, or athletic talent like Anna Kournikova, so what? it doesn't make me less human if I don't have these. At least, I'm proud of who I am, I love myself, and I have the confidence to face the world.
Do you like rain?
YES. It reminds me of Champorado. I want to eat it.
Do you care on what other people tell about you?
Absolutely not. I'm not even interested if they're talking behind my back. Let them speak. It doesn't affect me, be it good or bad.
What if you win in a lottery, what will you do?
I'll give my family a portion; there's no point in building a new foundation, so perhaps, Ill just support them. Ill treat my friends to jollibee. Ill buy a house and lot in batanes or elnido or sagada and live there. I'll probably ask any of my relative or family if they're interested in business and give them funds so they can provide job for other people. I am honestly not interested in business, maybe Ill invest in stock exchange.
I will secure my future, make sure I have enough food until I die. 3 times a day, since I don't usually take merienda. I want a simple life, so I don't need much money. But before that, I might as well try my luck in lottery, I never try it!
If you could own something, anything, what would it be?
Nothing. I don't want to have my own house, or a car. I'm happy renting or living with my family. Even if i have tons of money,I will never buy a car! I enjoy commuting.
Your dream?
Travel the world. Inspire People.
How can you say you have lived your life to the fullest?
When I travel the world? When at the end of the day, there's nothing I ask for. There's no "what ifs" "I hope" and "no regrets".
What are you afraid of?
Other people are so afraid to grow old alone, in my case, I AM SO AFRAID TO GROW OLD! I don't mind living alone, but growing old? If only I can stay young forever.. When you're old, you can do less.You are prone to diseases.. and eventually will DIE. I'm SO AFRAID to DIE. To GET SICK! I'm afraid not being able to do the things I love to do.

Day to day activity update
Time is running too fast, isn't it? It's finally August. Well, let's see...
I think I am the only happy among my colleagues when we all lose our job because I don't have to resign. I've been trying to muster all the courage to resign before, but find it too hard, because we have a lot of works to do.
I even posted on my Facebook wall that I've just created a club for people like me. BAHAY MUNA CLUB, where the activities involve are eating, watching, reading, sleeping.
3 Weeks ago, I went on a vacation in Beijing, China with my sister, room mate, and my cousin. It was fun, it's just, it's too hot there. Because, I wanted to look good on the photos, I wore a sneaker wedge, which is obviously impractical because we walked all throughout!
Since I have so much expectation in Beijing, I got disappointed I thought I will be able to see many pandas or appreciate their culture. I only find the great wall of china interesting, but due to hot weather, I wasn't able to enjoy it. It's also expensive, i spent my money buying tea!
The highlight of our beijing vacation will be the Happy Valley, I'm such a kid! I enjoy amusement parks most of the time.
I had finally finished all the requirements for my post graduate studies, i am not sure if I will be able to pass my midterm exam, because honestly, when I looked at the questionnaire, everything is essay. And there's a question which asked for my opinion, i gave it honestly. I think i'm going to fail it. I cannot lie on a subject matter i am particularly inclined just to get good grades.
With regards to Japanese, I guess I'm improving. I also received the documents from Japan regarding my volunteering next year. I shall apply for my visa soon, I do hope it will be approve,because I really don't have other intention aside for volunteering and experiencing their culture.
I think, of all the countries, I've been, they maybe a lot better than my country, yet, I would still choose to live here. Only Philippines, made me feel home. As far as places in the Philippines is concern, I will also go for E Nido or Sagada, maybe Batanes soon! - * Updated, Ill give up PH for Ireland :D
After July 3, i spent my days.. very busy. Of course, I am a person who cannot stand being idle in the entire day. I just keep myself busy with my freelance and studies. Not much leisure.
Just yesterday, i attended a job interview. When I just promised myself, I will not work in the office this year, i just got the job. Maybe it isn't really meant for me. At least, i can still go on my intended vacation and no one can stop me for sure. Not even my parents can stop me. I'm so stubborn :)
I am recently hook into reading, i can't sleep without reading!
I also gave up on my Euro Trip this coming September, if I pursue this, i no longer know what to achieve! Oh, I also intended to study abroad, i already inquired to some schools on the country I prefer, just need to submit my application, I'll do it before this year ends!

Too Insensitive? Or They're just too sensitive?
kapag tayo sinabihan ng "hindi natin gusto", iisipin nila, your words are nasty or that you are a bad person. We must learn to accept criticism, this will help us to improve. I received a lot of that, like when someone insulted my work during college days when I really believed it was perfectly done, I wanted to curse that person coz it feels terribly bad, but then, taking it negatively won't change anything. Why not take it possitively and use this as your motivation to improve? Take time to think, that person might be right afterall. Hindi pwdeng lagi yung gusto natin ang maririnig natin. Kasi kung ganon lang, get a recorder, utuin mo yung sarili mo paulit ulit.
I received so many criticisms from my friends regarding my manner of speaking. Napaisip ako, kasi para sakin, it's natural(an honest way of saying things - straightforward/frank) but for other people iba na yung dating(offensive!). Kung isa lang siya, d ako maniniwala, pero dahil marami sila, they might be right. So what i did? Sometimes I would rather not talk if I can't find the right words to say. It's hard to remain silent when you know something must be said! Change doesn't happen overnight. It's indeed a very very long way to go most especially when you've been like that eversince.

Knowing your priorities
July is coming!!! I knew so many things are about to happen. I just can't say it here.
I think this is a sign to take a break. I am planning to shift into a different career. With too many things to do, i can't get started. I knew I must slow down and not rush everything, but I felt like as if I am wasting too much time. Well, eventually, I am wasting time now.
I don't know my priorities, I make everything my priorities!
A week ago, I was desperately finding ways to get my euro trip come true, but just yesterday, when I was in the church, I realized that I cannot make all things happen in one time.
I still have a pending application for Japan Volunteering that will last for 3-4 months of 2014.
I also have an application in Thailand this year. I want to make all this possible.
I also need to accomplish my IELTs this August. But then, I have to enroll for a review classes.
And I also have a Japanese and Mandarin classes to attend. And another English proficiency class. I must also finish the educational units I enrolled in PWU which is due to be finished this coming September. And of course, I can't make this possible if I don't have a job.
Right now, I am planning to take a homebased job to support all my studies and of course to be able to pay my dues.
I can't work in the office since I'll be always out of the country, and no job will let me do this.
I guess what I have to do first is to know my goal. I'm torn honestly. I knew I wanted to get away. Escaping won't solve every problem, but sometimes, it's a great way to give yourself peace of mind. To give yourself a time to think.
I'm not getting any younger, so I wanted to do all this. Maybe then, I'll find what I've been looking for. Coz honestly, contentment is something I haven't feel yet. I always feel something is missing, that this isn't the life I've always dreamed of. I must find it myself. I just hope when I found it, its not too late.

Meet you at the crossroad
Too many things happened in an instance. I enrolled into a Japanese and English classes to improve. I wanted to become a teacher, an ESL teacher. I've been dreaming of a work that will allow me to be surrounded with different people in a dynamic environment and to TRAVEL!
Days from now, i'll be changing my career. I really wanted to study abroad. I do hope there's a fairy or a genie out there to grant my wish. But for now, I wanted to do some volunteering works. Sounds fun!

Doing something?
Hmmm, I wanted to resign, I've been doing the same thing over and over again. Sounds redundant isn't it? My Career will not progress if I keep doing the same thing. (when do I become career oriented?)
4 years ago, when I was asked during a job interview ' How do you see yourself 5 years from now"
I think I answered I'm already a manager then, and have a team. Well, that basically happened on my first job, i was able to handle my own team. Until I resigned, and looked for another job. It's a good thing, I learned from that company. I remember, I told myself, just few months after I was hired from this 2nd company, i want to resign, perhaps after 6 months, but then,i was "regularized". So then, maybe next year.. then, got promoted, still, i wish to resign, i wanna to do something else... but then, I cannot leave my colleagues! I just enjoy being with them. They are all nice, even the management. Everything was great! It's just the work is too redundant.
I thought of going back to study, so I enrolled on a post graduate degree while working. I also decided to take drivers licence. Maybe, I shall pursue my plan to study abroad? Cathy and I have been planning about it for almost a year.. her is becoming a reality, mine is still a blueprint. Why? I'm working, I don't have the luxury to do it.
I also wanted to take crash course on different subjects as well languages, but I have work!
I even teased my brother to just hire me, but give me high salary, and then he told me that I should just stay at home and he will feed me. Haha

A birthday greetings from heaven
Yesterday was my birthday. I celebrated it on the road with my family. Since we went on a vacation to Sagada to Baguio, i was able to get some rest. Before I went back to Manila, I dropped by to my dad's grave. It was the first time I celebrated my birthday without my dad, but that's fine. Because last night, my dad greeted me with a warm hug in my dreams. He cannot possibly miss my birthday. I really thank God for that wonderful dream.
What funny with this dream, is that it seems really real. That my dad rose from his grave just to greet me and ask for the gift :D It was touching and scaring.
I was awaken around 3am and don't want to go back from my sleep because I am really scared. But since I was so sleepy, I slept again.
