one Holy Week in our lives

Many years ago, three friends decided to go on a trip. Without knowing and planning for their exact destination, they went to the bus station and started an exciting and unforgettable adventure that made a mark in their respective lives. Back then, life wasn’t so complicated. Or maybe, not as complicated as it is now. Sadly, one of them forgot to bring the camera. Grrh. Phones weren’t so techie at that time. I think I only had 3210 or 3310. So we weren’t able to document the adventure. However, odd experiences linger. The memory makes me smile up to this day. Good thing that my long term memory works better than the short one. Hehe. Ok, I forgot the camera.

So where are we now?

Yeng is now in UAE. Still lovely. And working hard for her equally lovely daughter and my cheek-alike ASHLEY. Many years ago, she was hopelessly in love (peace, sis!) with Mr. A. Another Mr. A (now miss) was going after her. Hahaha! Back then, we were trying out different small time businesses, eating pancit canton and isaw, watching E channel all day, enjoying Greenhills shopping center, talking about shitty boys, falling in and out of love (or crush?). Now, we are talking about the future. The not too distant one. And we know that we’ll get to where we want to go. Soon. Err, I think she is still torn (between two lovers, feeling like a fool!)

Myll is now seriously loving his sweetie. It occured after so many “sweeties”. I can’t even remember their names. Back then, he was dazed and confused about what he really wanted. He told us that he couldn’t find independent women like us (yeng and i). I’m just glad that he has already found that “profound” love that made him stay attached.

And Michelle? That’s me. Back then, I was not looking into a serious relationship. During that trip, I wasn’t really with anyone. Or if I were, I just can’t remember. Hahaha. Marriage is still not in the bag. But I’ll get there. For now, I would like to marry my dream. I’m sure, so sure that I do. I DO. I DO. I DO! hahahaha! Please, I do. =) Ohh…Back then, we never thought that I’d go to law school. But I know that they want this for me. As much. =)

this is it

At this point, I already made a decision. I’m so excited, and yet I’m scared. But something tells me that the path that I’m taking is written. My dream is my own and nothing else, no one else could ever stop me. My mind is full of crap but it doesn’t matter now. There’s no holding back. I have to do well. With GOD’s grace.

The future is not clear but I’m keeping my faith.

THIS IS IT! THIS IS REALLY IS IT!

I’m officially: ON LEAVE (at least from unnecessary stuff/office leave starts may 1)

thank you =)

I started writing this post at the back of a response letter from MTSLA (Manila Teachers Savings & Loan Association). It is the institution that figuratively brought my feet to law school. It paid for my tuition fee, books, etc.  for about four (4) years until that fateful day when I got my one and only failed mark. ;( I lost the grant and I didn’t have the face to appeal inspite of their notice that I could get it back on the following semester. I just didn’t have time to do it. Pride maybe. But last month, I wrote them a letter due to my “thin” bar savings. I got the response! I was surprised to know that they have already discontinued the law scholarship program. I guess we were the last batch. Good thing though, they heard me with half ear. Ü They gave me half of my request and it is something that would make me survive for two months (based on my calculation). So for now, my PALM is staying. yuhu! BIG HUG, MTSLA. I’ll do well. With God’ s grace. And someday, somehow, I’ll GIVE BACK in ways that GOD only knows. =) THANK YOU!
