Before
the sun sets down today let me tell you the things I’ve been through for the
last 365 days because tomorrow im gonna start a new chapter in my life i will be thirty and one!
On the day I turned 30 I was busy with school life
and numerous trainings the government obliged me to be. I didn’t even got the
chance to celebrate it with my family and friends for I have to be in the
school before the sun shines or else I will be out and im afraid I might not
get all my boss wanted me. I spend almost four months going to school and
finish all my modules for free. Sometimes I had a conflict of schedules from
the other training school and to think I am enjoying it because i get to learn more and grow but it isn't for doing so exerts a lot of concentrations one after the other that I almost forgot to visit
even my friends and go out with them.
I also had a lot of air trips and land
trips going to the south then north that sometimes I feel like im still
floating in the sky. I was more terrified when my boss sends me to Mindanao to
attend an international event that took place during my brother’s birthday. Up in the cloudy sky for almost three hours
because our plane had zero visibility I never thought that we could still land
safe that day. I have prayed a lot and beg for more extra life then.
Sundays or half of sundays now are spent to church and moms day too. Doing all the laundries and chores for our
maid never come back had drained all our energy during friday nights. Mom doesnt want them washed in laundry shop because all of my white t-shirts had turned yellow pants shrink of over heated dryer. Saturdays
are spent shopping and groceries and cctv backups. Starbucks days had to be
move from Friday to Saturdays or Sundays or sometimes forgot that I still have
starbucks day and all. I didn't get to update my blog regularly for I lack time
and energy to do so.
Aside from saving more none of my wish list had been accomplish for I haven’t got
a new bike yet although I still have 4 months more before I hit the deadlines. All
of my savings had been diverted to other essentials we needed to live and what
had drained me the most is the continuous and never ending constructions and
reconstructions of our house good thing we live in a decent and beautiful place
now.
January
was never good to me the high fever and headache attacks me and had almost
collapsed because of fatigue and dehydration. Injections had almost killed me I
am afraid of needle and seeing the doctor. I was diagnosed with acute
pharyngitis and my wisdom tooth in the upper part started to grow.
February I
feel better but spend more of our time doing geomaps and gps. Going to and back to the 48 barangays in our municipality. Measuring, reading until we get the right coordinates and most of the time went home late tattered jeans, muddy feet, tired, hungry and bruises everywhere. March had been
pretty cool for all of my cousins get backs home. Some had just graduated with
flying colors and had the chance to go out with them and have some break at the
office and school.
Rewarding
myself a bit is quite good among these is the new windows 8.1 HP envy core i7 touch laptop, a
48 inches LED tv, a new camera lens, galaxy s4 from mom and tab and most of all
a fast internet connection which I needed most in my life. The salary and extra income i hardly earned are spent on foods, savings and necessities. I don’t have time to
visit my old grandmother no matter how much I wanted to visit her. I spent the whole summer in trainings and I
haven’t got the chance to swim in salt water no matter how much I wanted too.
We never know which way is to the beach and which way is to the training
school. I will admit that I envy most of my relatives and friends who
took their pictures while swimming and sand bathing and I have to endure the
summer heat in the hot crowded training school. I almost cry when I learned
that my brother is off the north and explore my father’s hidden place. I have
encountered a lot of difficult people whom I never wanted to meet in my life
again. Good thing my patience had grown more and more as I get older or maybe I
just mastered it and meeting one have gain me too much respect for myself and
after meeting those horrible people I get to meet more and more kind hearted souls.
As
the school year start for normal people so as my busy office life started and gets busier
everyday. We did have a new boss and he is all smart and kind. Beating all the
deadlines from the different national agencies and international partners and
too much research and reading books had drained my energy. That sometimes i feel it boring and boring when there's nothing new to look at. scattered papers, printer printing and files of initial draft. To make myself
better i took all the vitamins the doctor said will boast my energy. After all
I learned too much that I thank everyone starting off from my boss for giving
me such opportunities and a chance to step ahead of the others but I always
wear a smile and keep my feet in the ground most of the time.
July
was never a good month for me and mom for she has to stay in the hospital for
six nights and five days because of her fluctuated blood sugar level and
asthma. Other than that a raging july typhoon hit our place that most of our
relatives source of income has blown off good that all of our houses and lives
are safe. August has been a starting month for all of us. Recovering from the
typhoon aftermath and income losses here we are standing and fighting as we
move on with our lives. We spent the whole month of August changing and doing
proposals with an interrupting power supply.
And
now it’s September and I am hitting another year to start a new chapter. Fervently i live life according to what i like, according to what i understand, according to me. I am thankful for all the blessing god showered me no matter how small it was i am forever grateful. Most of all to all the people i dealt with everyday whether they are making my heart leap and head spin i thank them for giving me the challenge and fight what i believe for. I pray that i may never forget to pray and believe. That i stay this way honest, polite, sweet the way my aboeji raise me. That I will be forever
good and kind to all that I don’t change even a little but if i does ensure it for much good. That I stay calm
and always smart. That as long as I can I will. To stay humble and enjoy
everything that is with me. To strive hard to achieve everything I wanted to
myself and for my family without cursing and troubled anyone. That I’ll be responsible in
everything I do and stay positive no matter what. That all the friendship i started with will grow more and more until our lasts breathe.
I
thank mom and aboeji for bringing me to the world. Aboeji I am now of age how about
that! Dudoi....Pambihira!
