If you want something you've never had, you'll have to do something you've never done. Powerful things happen when you start putting in the work to achieve your goals, you become addicted to the progress and fall in love with the process. If there is no struggle, there is no improvement.

Flight Crew, Gabriella Cecelia R. Dallas.

I made it!! I finally achieved my long time dream and that is to become a Flight Attendant in Infinity Airlines. Believing in yourself is the first secret to success, and I'm glad that I never gave up just because the struggle is too much.

The reason why my last name became "Dallas" is because I willingly fixed my birth certificate, even if our parents are not married? We can still choose to use his surname or not. I chose to use it because I knew that he'd want that, I knew that Dad would be thrilled to figure out that I'm carrying his last name.

I'm not using my other surname which is "Collins" because West just proposed to me again but this time, everyone knew about it because he asked everyone to help him with his long time plan. It turns out that he's been planning to ask for my hand again and that's exactly what he did, that was a year ago.

I have at least two engagement rings, then I will probably have another wedding ring once he and I got married again. I have no idea that he had a plan, he never told me anything about it and I never expected him to come up with such an idea so it doesn't seem like we're actually hiding something which is the fact that he and I have been married for six years now.

Only a few of them knows about it but up until now, they are still keeping their mouth shut about it. They really knew how to keep a secret which is a good thing, at least I have nothing to be worried about.

If West is not afraid of Lolo Nolan, I don't know what else to say but I am because he's not an easy person, unlike Lola Rose who will just simply go with the flow and laugh out loud. Besides, our grandparents from our Mom's side and from our Dad's as well were the ones who also supported us even if they were struggling on their own.

Being alone with each other is not that easy specially when the two of you had almost reached the end of your journey, they are old now and even if they'd never said a thing to us? We knew that they were sick. Everyday is a blessing to each and everyone of us, specially to them because they still get to see us.

They can still laugh, eat and bond with us unlike Mom and Dad who barely got a time to do those kind of things with me, Ate Cornellia and Candice. Sometimes, I still find it unfair that we grew up without a father then God suddenly decided that he'd take our mom as well. My mind had already accepted the fact that they were gone but my heart might never get over it.

But if none of those bad things happened in the past and we're still a complete family like what I've always wished for, will I still be what I am today? will I become someone else? Or will I have another dream? Like become a business woman?

I'm not sure about that either but I badly wanted to thank my old self for not giving up and for holding onto our dreams, my past self and what I am now fought for what we have today. She and I should be happy because we knew that we deserve it so cheers to us!! And I hope that my future self will still be happy like what I am now.
