#JOURNAL CHAPTER2

Happiness.

Those words that being scribbled upon ink stained paper and published as document on software app (like this), are being noticed. My cheek stretched out for a smile, dimples became apparent, eyes were fabulously bright. You had lifted a sort of advance gift of satisfaction – I deeply appreciate your compliments dear readers:).


As a response to some request and on fulfilling to what I had promised (because promises aren't made to be broken, right guys? :)) Spoil yourselves and hope this another dispositions of mine, again, would appeal to you as worthwhile.

Under a familiar vicinity, one moment in time; sitting pretty, properly enjoying my meals whilst my cellphone was constantly buzzing a notification tone. Senders seem to be into something. Though, the other side of me was insisting "Don't bother them, keep eating," (peace yow senders).

Achieve! My stomach's full. I am ready to seize the day!
 Did brushing my teeth, fixed my outfits, tried to stuff some sorts, primped - I stopped, wonder briefly and reach out, took a peek in my phone for time updates.

And goodness, Very late!

Cannot escape the reality though, I hurried across the street. Hopped in a motorcycle, arrived in the meeting place only to found out, all were aboard except me. What a nasty! Right there, I wanted desperately a time machine-  rearrange decisions and events, if only.

I extended an apology yet, I still felt guilty. Guilty for informing a specific call time (where I turned as, the rule-breaker). Guilty for not complying my obligation (hey, Ms. Pres.). Guilty for being Late, (I am really sorry guys).

Bracing myself for a distraction, stick some headphones and selected a song. Tried my best to forget the embarrassing mistake. Heads down, shoulders sagged, elbows loosely at sides and feet unsteady- perhaps my enthusiasm that the trip ticket is on my precious hands (without me they can't probably leaveJ), made me the careless.

Lesson learned. I must observe time warningly conscious.

To and fro, I kept myself deporting unto speculations and what if's. Braced myself to tap even speck of alternative and focus because whatever happens, the show must go on.

In spite of being hooked with queries, worries, and tiny glimpses of my issue here(late) still, the activity was basically fun with new acquaintances, sight-seeing, food trip, and learnings. And, eeeeep! Still my flaws will be considered as anecdote, at least hahaha.




Anticipating a new role is for me, an opportunity to engage myself into a thrill of glamour and sweats. I was filled with excitements prior to our shoot (though I'm not your main character here), I was our group's humbly videographer.
#TourismAd☺




The wander was kinda summer fun. Just as when almost of the scene was portrayed, the vibe was patched with overwhelming exhaustions huhuhu.

Great outdoor days and extra biz made their ways. The Academic side replied and made its presence with reviewers and study-related thingy. Midterm examination reigned on DEBESMSCAT in the second week of August and students responded to it by casting their respective duties and roles.

Under the morning sky, the view of a familiar, sentimental isle gleamed and popped on my head. Today seems to be my day (for those of you who don't know me well, I seldom go home due to ‘remoteness’ issue).



My journey was filled with impressions. I always feel fascinated whenever I travel. Either it be going home or on track to somewhere. This is because, the act is a treat for me to have a multi-reflection on different issues clouding my head, a refreshing perspectives on life.

The reverie was filtered with pensive notions. I arrived to the pier with big waves ceaselessly cuddled the shores, no pump boat headed to our place plus, shut down phone- I'm the luckiest, what do you think? 😢
Then, I had this slogan that at some point made me calm. Wherever our foot set destinations, it is a must to instill in our beings a sense of optimism. Situations may be messy and grey still, if we optimize positive assertions, there will always be colors of hope.

Whisker to an event implying a negotiation with little but terrible workbook thingy. Might as well, a whirling interrogations- yearning for answers. Much like poetry filled with rhymes.
Cheers for another accomplishments🙌.

" Success is always tucked away in the hidden recesses of your soul, ready to be put into action and be enjoyed."
If only I can profoundly analyze cover to cover the messages presented in the book.
If only I have the infinite time to read such over and over again until it just gets stuck in my head like a song.
If only I have my own.

Obviously, I fell in love with the book. As it spelled out issues for introspection. Ideas good to learn. Implementation that will guide us in jumping the hurdles toward success - possible answers that may tap a drastic change in our lives. I highly recommend it as book you might as well, read. Just pay a visit to our library and you can borrow it for free😉.

Fast forward into fourth week of August which I was heedless of the possibility that on that peculiar day, I will be place on the hot seat, the centerpiece picture splashed by clamor, litany of complaints. I stared dumbly, all quiet there and walk away to fixed errands. My day was repainted into darkest hues. Sometimes life rhymes such way, by the way.

The nasty intrusive aspect, a little later converted into a myriad, many means, many forms- activities that haunted me to remain tune.




We ended owe a deal with our first language. Studying the lingua franca, on the other hand made me to overlook the hidden beauty the former possess. With ABAKADA's effort to facilitate an activity intended for it-  showcases some Filipino talents and utilization of language itself - tongue twister and seem to be foreign ?


Our only self handles decision that sometimes goes well and at times, wrong. Living is wrapped that way, I think.  In between, life is still the sweetest if we look at it in more pleasant and positive way.

All right, I have done my wave for this month. Thank you for visiting, til’ next timeJ.
