Everything has its own way of ending things. We are all dreaming of a perfect-ending, a happily-ever-after ending with our prince charming just like those classic fairytales but then when reality starts hitting us hard… we suddenly realize that we don’t have fairy godmothers nor genies in a a bottle who will make our dreams come true, that we are no princesses. Not everything will go according to what we want, to what we dream of.
“SATs are just around the corner. What advice can you give our readers who will take their SATs?”
“My father used to tell me that life is too short to bury myself under a pile of books. I know it's not a good advice, but keep sane, study hard and make sure to take quick breaks in between. SATs are important so as your health. Eat healthy foods while you are reviewing, it’ll help a lot! Fighting!”
I used to dream of becoming like Cinderella, pero ngayon tinatawanan ko nalang ang sarili ko kapag nababasa ko yung mga luma kong diary. Bakit sa lahat ng prinsesa, ang mapipili ko pa ay yung limitado lagi ang oras? Pero siguro nga lahat ng bagay may dahilan… may katapusan.
“Thanks for working hard today!”
Iyan lagi ang bukang-bibig ng mga tao sa paligid ko tuwing nakakatapos kami ng isang araw o gabi sa trabaho. Ang sarap pakinggan kahit na alam mong normal lang na sinasabi ang mga katagang iyon araw-araw. Ang sarap lang talaga sa pandinig kasi, in the end of the day, kahit pagod na pagod ka na… alam mong mayroong mga tao na nakaka-appreciate at nakakaalala sa iyo, na kahit may mga oras na nagkakainitan kayo ng ulo, eh, naiintindihan naman nila at hindi sila nagtatanim ng sama ng loob.
Sana lahat ng tao ganoon, handang umintindi, handang magpatawad, handang maglaan ng kahit na kaunting sandali para sa’yo.
Laging pangaral sa akin ni papa na ang oras na minsan mong sinayang, kailanman ay hindi na maibabalik, life is too short to live with hatred and regrets kaya naman seize every moment as if it’s your last.
As if it’s your last…
As if it’s my last…
Paano kung ito na nga ang huli?
“I told you to stop being stubborn and take a break for the moment.”
“I will. If you’ll give me reasonable reasons why I need to take this g*dd*mned break.”
I can still remember how my manager told me to take a short break from modelling because of a stupid dating scandal with an idol that isn’t even true to start with… and I can’t forget how furious she was when I didn’t follow her simple instruction of not using social media. Kaya naman for the second time, hindi ko na inulit ang ginawa ko, sumunod nalang ako kaysa mapasama pa ako.
Pero iyon din ang parehong litanya na nanggaling sa sarili kong ama.
Take a break…
Pero kailan lang ay tinanggal ko na sa bokabularyo ko ang salitang huminto muna…
Ayokong may masayang pang oras dahil baka mamaya, katulad ng kwento ni Cinderella pagpatak ng alas-dose, mawala nalang lahat ng meron ako at ayokong may pagsisihan ako kapag dumating ang panahon na iyon.
Kaya naman hindi ako hihinto…
Magpapatuloy ako.
