It's Not Waiting for Godot

Writing a blog once more because I need to be writing many things: for my org and for work and feels like I want to write about personal reflections first.

First: I am thankful I have been generally happy these past weeks. Much happier than last semester. I started the semester right. I am more diligent now. I am more active with my organizations. I work more (because I have to earn more). And, I sleep less. I am usually in school before 7AM. I study after class everyday (Last sem, I used to study for a maximum of an hour after class. I used to not do anything with the rest of the afternoon/night and cram my ass off the next morning). I am more tired though but I am happy doing the things I love – working for a good cause, writing (and bringing back the old dream of wanting to become a broadcast journalist had I not have the defect of pronouncing the letter “R” and had I been a pretty woman walking down the street).

Second: I am thankful I am surrounded now by extremely inspiring (in their own ways) people. I have good and loving friends. I have caring sisters. I met relatively more new faces these past weeks. And they are all awesome! I just met Atty. Chochoi Medina tonight. His ‘speech’ made me cry (a lot), even if I’ve never known him personally. It feels so touching to see a man, recovering, who could barely speak, and still manage to give words of kindness, passion and love for the Ateneo Human Rights Center. Great man!

Third: I am thankful I found a new inspiration to help me read the extra page, study the extra hour, use the extra highlighter. It is not going somewhere but that’s fine. Inspiration comes in many ways.

Fourth (or Third Part B): I am thankful I still have the courage to wait and believe true love exists. I am thankful I still have the faith there is someone to play the role of a permanent life’s inspiration. It’s gonna come.
