What I Like to Become

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions; These are inevitable things humans must do. Let me share with you a decision that probably made a big impact in my life right now and probably in the future. But, let's start with a little girl's journey of dreams.

A TEACHER

When I was in second grade, the decision that I made was "I like to become a teacher someday". It was two in the afternoon and I was looking at our teacher who is teaching Filipino that time when that thought came. Now I am thinking about it, I came to a conclusion that maybe it didn't happen because it has no deep foundation. Well, on the first day of that grade, I fell asleep at the start of the class and woke up by the end of it. (How irresponsible can I be huh? well, I really used to sleep in the afternoon so the adjustment is really hard.) Plus, I really, never, ever excelled in Filipino subject so the timing of the thought is not good. Another thing is, I did not considered Education on my college application so it fairly says that I am not for this practice. But, don't get me wrong, I love teaching, I'm good at it and I enjoyed seeing people thanking me that they learned something.

A PSYCHOLOGIST
The time I made my decision of wanting to be a psychologist is probably on my Junior Year. I love Chemistry, Grey's Anatomy, puzzle pieces, and I don't like blood. This is the only branch of medicine I can think of that doesn't include blood so I love it. But that is not the only reason okay, I love talking to people too and that is probably the top of my list on why I wanted to be a psychologist. But our way of life is not pretty good to send me to a medical school so it didn't happen.

A NUN

Mother Theresa. She is one of the person I look up to when I decided to be a nun. I want to help others, go to different places, talk to different people but I'm not as good and has much perseverance as her so it did not happen. Actually another thing is, I like guys so being a nun is not a good path to take if I like guys as much as I like chocolates right?

A PROGRAMMER

Now, this career is so far for me to consider to take but I am here. And I'm enjoying every minute of it! This is the biggest decision I made so far. When I am starting as a freshman college student, I really don't know what to take so I let fate to decide for me. The most open course that time is the Entrepreneurial Management so I enrolled for it. Then on the enrollment for Second year came, my friends decided to shift and invited me to join them. I wanted to shift too but not on IT because I have a zero knowledge on that field. Then my friend Nerizza told me that everything can be learned right? so I follow the flow. Actually, its almost not good for me to take because I got a grade of 3.0 for my computer subject then I would take computer course? how crazy is that. But fate really helped me to pursue my decision. And I'm glad.

Honestly, decisions are inevitable but there are things that even if you decided to take still won't happen because fate won't help you or you don't have enough luck, or you are not courageous enough. But one thing's for sure, if its meant for you, its only for you by the guidance of our Lord God of course. ;-)

Cloudy with a chance of Hope

These past few weeks, I've been in a total roller coaster ride. As in, deep sad low and high heart pumping screams. Let's start with the first high I've got.


Its the PUPUKAW Buwan Ng Wika celebration! Yehey!


This is our first presentation for the year and we are all so excited and happy! Actually, This presentation was put to a lot test that almost resulted to the decline of this event; but we surpass it all! We pursued, we gave time, and we enjoyed every moment that I know, we'll treasure for the rest of our lives.


Hey, that's me in blue gown with my fellow Host, Marlon :]

'know what, we really didn't expect to witness a lot of people that night but a lot of people really watched us and we felt so grateful (or at least me). Even our Director Prof. Laurente is very pleased with us that she promised us a swimming! We were also supported and visited by a lot of beloved friends namely Brian, Ate Jade, and Kuya Ronnel, to name a few.


Then Q4B 2K10 came... I participated on the Intercollegiate Debate and the Documentary Making. We lose on the Debate that really broke my heart that since that day until now, I haven't gone to school again; I can say that it broke my self confidence big time. I didn't even came to support the Arts Competition that showed our Documentary which is, I regret because we were placed 4th runner up; which is not a bad thing because it lift up my spirit again :)

While that bumpy road of competition happens, a bad wave of news came. My Grandfather,Lolo Oscar (brother of my Granny) passed away. This is the third death on the family side of my Father. I really don't like him when I was young because he was really mean for a Lolo. But I forgive him already since I saw he has no legs anymore.

You know what I learned with these experiences? Anything and Everything has its time given by God. God gave me gifts that I used before, and I can't use it anymore now because I have to learn. I changed through time that I don't even know if the change was good or bad; and now I know it is not good. But the thing here is, I know there is a bright future waiting for me. And that's how a fairy tale should end right? full of learnings and always looking forward to ;D
