I feel like I'm never going to remember any of this stuff. I'm already having panic attacks (well not literally) over the final exam, and I'm no where near taking it yet. It's just so much information!! Ugh!!

 i'm in the airport right now. i love the waiting lounge here in mactan international airport because it has free internet. hehe. at least i get to surf while waiting for my flight.
so this is it. i come back to manila lacking sleep but nevertheless re-energized. cebu does that to me. i guess, home does that for everyone. too bad i can't recharge often but i am very grateful for every opportunity that i get to come home. although the reason for my going home was the "war" within the family (well, my parents against my dad's siblings), a lot of other things balanced, if not, exceeded the negative vibes. my family depends on me - more than the financial help i give them, it's hope that i provide them. i can see it in my parents' eyes. that gives me strength to hang on to what i have right now - at least until all of my siblings finish school.
my friends have also played a big part in giving me strength - seeing them doing very well makes me happy and proud and makes me think that i should be stronger.
the thing i liked about going home this time is that i was able to maximize the time i got to spend with my family and friends. the weekend with them can last me a few more months in manila. i will try my hardest and i will come back next time, stronger and more fulfilled. so that they too won't worry about me. i'll be fine. i think. :)

damn. it's just never enough. this time off from work has been so much of a blessing that i cannot get enough of. i don't care if i have to work from home. i just want to stay here. period. hehe. if only that was allowed, i would be the happiest person in the world.
so got me back to thinking again about how i want to live my life. yesterday, i went to lamac with the guys from Tsinelas and i was sooooo envious at their being HERE. you know, Tsinelas has grown on me back in college. being someone who's education is a result of the generous hearts of schools and benefactors, i believe i should give back this blessing to other kids who WANT to go to school but don't have things easy.
so here comes Tsinelas and i was so excited to be part of it. after graduating, i had wanted to be involved in helping the org help as many kids possible. i know i can help other institutions that have similar goals but Tsinelas has its own sense of "warmth" and "dedication" - the same way i cannot find any other place like Cebu. i'm really really very envious of my friends who are currently very involved in Tsinelas, moving and making things happen even if they have their own jobs and lives to worry about. at least they get that freedom, that escape from a world of monotony and "work".
time will come. if i feel like i don't find meaning in my stay at Manila anymore, i'd be back here. but, i need to work first because my family comes before everything. when i see them able to live the life they deserve, i will be able to let go and pursue the other things that give my life meaning.
to the guys at Tsinelas, you guys are really lucky ya?! mayta di na mawagtang inyung pagkatinabangun ug pagkabuotan...buotan bya kau mo. haha. i'm happy with how things are going and i know you will take Tsinelas further and be able to help more kids. payter! pangitaan jud na nako ug paagi ang website kay kana ra akng matabang tingali.:)
