Broken Dreams? Not yet!

August 14, 2007

As usual, I was late again in my class yesterday. Gosh! It took me 1.5 hours to travel from Makati to UP Diliman to my college, NCPAG!

Anyway, as I was walking and rushing to my class, something popped up on my mind. Why am I there? Why am I taking my master’s degree? Why this already? Why MPA? All these things keep on coming into my mind while my heart was beating fast as I ran to attend my class.

Good thing, when I arrived in my class, our professor didn’t ask me to sing – this is her punishment to the students who come late in her class. After pretending that I was listening to my professor…our class on 299 ended… Hehe..

Then, me and MPA friends- Bon Q. and Corrine went to our usual tambayan in KNL after class to have dinner – it’s either have isaw and drink a bottle of beer in Sarah’s or have a healthy meal in Likha Diwa (a vegetarian resto). And last night, we went to Likha Diwa and I ate a healthful vegetarian spaghetti and nachos. But I sneaked out to eat my favorite isaw outside.

When we were having dinner, I told my friends that I’m getting so damned bored now with what’s going on to my MPA life. And then, I asked them – what was my reason why I enrolled in MPA and took the program? I answered my own question, that before, I really planned to run and become a candidate in the local election in our humble town in the province to serve my kababayans. But now, since I realized that being a candidate even in a local election in our country really needs a lot of money – which I don’t have at the moment.

I don’t know if I can consider it as a broken dream. But I think, with my plans in the future, when the time comes that I will have enough resources to run in the elections, I can pursue my dreams to serve my fellow kababayans in Quezon.

hmmmmppppfffffhhhh!!!

I refuse to adhere to the society's perception of acdemic aptitude and mental ability…

The unexpected day

August 12, 2007

Brown Eyes by Destiny's Child

Today is August 12. It was 365 days ago when I first met the person who will be with me for the rest of my life.

It was around 930 am of August 12, 2006 when my phone rang. It was an unknow number. I'm sure it's from abroad. So, I said hello and it was my Tita Thera. She told me that I should apply for a student apply for student visa and she is willing to support my studies there in the US. And i said, YES! Then, she suddenly passed the phone to somebody. The reason wasn't clear to me so, I thought, her cellphone was ringing and someone's calling her. So, I talked to this stranger.

We talked for almost an hour -talking about what we do in our lives and future plans. And then after a long conversation, he asked for my email address and so I gave it to him since I know he's my aunt's friend anyway.

August 12, 2006 was the day when I met Mr. Carl Veneracion, my soon-to-be-husband. This was the unexpected day that I met and received a God's gift… truly an answered prayer…

 

JANUS

Janus was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings - from wikipedia.com

Janus, the name of my first ever blog. I said before that I don't want have my own blogs. Reasons? Number 1 -  Waste of time. Secondly, I just want to put all the memories of my life in my mind, in pictures and some in videos. Nakakatamad atang magsulat. Lastly, I hate writing even during my thesis days and doing my school requirements.

But now, I'm writing here in i.ph. Why and how?

Why?

I realized that thru blog, my memories cannot be only saved in my mind, pictures and videos. I should write the story of my life once in a while.  And I'm on the stage of discovering on what "blogging" can do to my life. But I really believe that it can improve my writing skills - bonga! hehe! But seriously, and most of all, I know, that writing is a relaxing thing to do.. your emotions can be put into writing - happiness, loneliness, questions in life and finding out reasons on things and events that happened in your life.

How?

Kanino pa ba, eh di sa favorite bestfriend ko, si MC.  She was making kulet to me that I put comments on her blog -  many times. And just few hours ago, we were both on-line and she reminded me again to put comments on her blog until she told me again for the nth time  that I should have my own blog.

And here I am.. doing and almost done with my Janus.
