Sunshine After the Storm





*Sheepishly peeks*

It’s almost the end of November and I haven’t written a single entry. Maybe it’s because I was/am enslaved by academics and extra curricular activities that I can only comb my hair twice a day. Not that I don’t really care about my packaging but honestly, I don’t really need to impress anyone at the moment and spend my time combing my untamable mane.

Concerning the past three weeks, nothing major really happened in my life. Mid term test did occur and other academic stuff like quizzes and home works occupied most of my time but exciting isn’t the right word to describe such activities (though they say that I seem to enjoy nerd stuff).

Ah, I almost forgot! Well, I also participated in laying-out the Ang Paglalayag which is quite thrilling activity though my favorite part is staying late at the publication office with some peers and just do stuff. It has been quite a while since I seriously attended to my job as the managing ed. of the Ang Paglalayag. I really miss writing away my thoughts like this. But…I do miss singing too.

Of course, I can’t cut my self into two and attend both the Coro San Antonio and the Sapientia et Virtus/Ang Paglalayag training and meeting sessions. If I could, then I should have done it a long time ago. I just hate it when people ask me why I am not somewhere I was “supposed” to be. For now, I’m happy with both organizations because I am able to channel my talents not because I want to please someone. My shortcomings do not justify my entire being.

Enough of the drama and stuff, it’s time to have fun!

Heart-warming it is to help other people especially when you can feel and see that they appreciate what you are doing for them.

I felt this simple fulfillment when I joined the GABAY Immersion program today which was sponsored by my school. My classmates and I were able to interact with 35 children in need of education and care. Though I’m not that good with children, I got along fine with my tutees for the day. I just feel so sad for them because as children, it was not really their choice to be slumped into such difficult state. On the other hand, I appreciate how blessed I am for being able to live in a more comfortable manner. I hope that more able people will be aware of what is happening outside their selfish shells.

I guess I got carried away for this entry to get this long. Making up for the lost opportunity I suppose.

May God bless us all!
