Kanina bumibili kami ng nanay ko ng lechon manok tapos may biglang lumapit na batang kalye mga 4 or 5 years old siya, maayos naman yung itsura niya, nakahoodie pa nga pero halatang madumi. So habang nag-iintay kami dun sa order namin, nakita ko yung bata na nakadungaw sa display ng manok, halatang gutom na kasi gabi nga. Napatingin siya sa akin, natouch lang ako kasi nag smile siya. Hindi kasi katulad ng ibang batang kalye na walang hagas kung manghingi ng limos. Yung bata, hindi nanglimos pero alam kong sa isip niya hinihiling nya na may magbigay sana sa kanya. Sa sobrang awa ko, binigay ko yung sukli na dos sa kanya. Nagulat ako sabi nung bata, "Godbless". Sinundan ko siya ng tingin, dumiretso siya sa bakery, ang sungit nga ng tindera e, tapos akala ko kung ano bibilin, yun pala bumili ng candy. Naisip ko, oo nga naman, ano nga bang mabibili sa dos. Naawa ako talaga kaya tinawag ko yung bata tapos binilihan ko ng madaming tinapay saka softdrinks. Di ko alam kung sapat na yun pero kahit papano mapapantawid gutom niya na yun. Nung natanggap niya yun, di siya umiimik, nakatingin lang siya samin ng nanay ko, tapos bigla siya ulit nag thank you saka umalis. Habang tinitingnan ko siya palayo, narealize ko na sobrang swerte ko kasi kahit sobrang dami ng dumating sa aking problema.. may laman ang tiyan ko, may bahay ako, at may taong handang sumuporta sa akin. Sobrang thankful ako dun. Narealize ko din na sana mabigyan ng chance ang mga batang kagaya niya sa buhay. Sana hindi siya lumaking masama. Sana ngayong eleksyon, may magawa ang bayan natin sa mga batang katulad niya.

Do yourself a favor.

Eh may isang malaking plot twist na iiba sa ihip ng hangin. Ito yun eh! I am a Mirriam Santiago supporter way way before she even released her book and it's a dream to see her finally setting foot on this fight again. Oh, it's not even a fight anymore because I can smell the win!

I have been very careful about saying things. I am very much conscious about what others will say. I am that kind of person. No matter where I go, I always end up by myself. I don’t know what’s wrong. Don't get me wrong, this is not regarding my love story. It’s about me, being me. (That’s how I was back then) 

Until I realize, life can’t be like that. Life is not perfect. We are not made perfect. If we keep believing like that, we can’t achieve things. I am saying this in general. We can make mistakes without spending half or maybe our whole lives correcting it, instead, live with it. Dance with it. Find loopholes and make amends. Improve and make a blueprint of your life. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it needs to be personalized based on your goals and experience. Based on the lessons from your mistakes.

I myself is a survivor of my own stupidity. But that doesn’t mean that I am intelligent now, that I am flawless now. I am still in progress..

My point is, don’t give up!

Pumili ka ng lalaki na mag iinvest ng panahon at effort sayo, handang matuto sayo, makikinig sayo, susuportahan ka sa lahat ng misyon mo sa buhay at maiinlove sayo araw araw.

Appreciate your eyesight. It's very frustrating not being able to see without glasses or not being able to see at all.

Dear stomach, you're bored. Not hungry. So shut up!
