Je peux parfaitement me cacher à travers les sourires, mais je n'ai pas à le faire. I have good and true friends, family and a blessed life from the LORD. So far it's all rough French. The longest French sentence that I made, seems really rough, and raw, forgive me for that. I want to thank my family for staying beside me always, keeping me upright and rooted, pointing out my mistakes and telling me when to stop and when to pursue things. Especially my Mom Ma Shirley Garchitorena Cleofas, for always, always sharing her wisdom and taking excellent care of me, when I'm sick, well, hurt, tired, or simply just being me. For listening to my rants and "sumbong" about everything. My two sisters, Shera and Sherose, for always listening to my nonsense stories and telling me off every time I'm having my "attitude" days. All your words, all of it, the advices, the sermons, I always treasure them and make them my motivation. My Kuya! Joesal, for taking such good care of the home, of us at home. Cooking food, challenging my will everytime! My diet and all. Hahaha. All the professors for the knowledge that they shared, manong guard, Mayor Bestfriend Erap for giving us enjoyable first years on college (suspensions and all). My greatest friends! Nathan, for keeping me in line, thank you so much for being so strong, your faith amazes me and keeps me light. Thank you for being there always. Je, for always telling the truth. You just being you is enough, and I'm so happy for you! Yiiieee! Jean, Chinnie! Aww I love you so much, you keep me human hahaha. The care and love you have in your heart is sooo much! Thank you for being always there. Kurt, for those talks during LRT rides. Girl, you sharing, listening, and tolerating me is one of the reasons I get through this first semester. Jesse, for everything you've done, said, and all the things you didn't do too. Thank you for being a part of my college life and making me realize that not all begginnings have good endings, but still I thank you. Whatever happens I wish you happiness, real and true happiness. Ira, bee! Isang sem na lang! Thank you for not being snobbish the day I talked to you on the jeepney. I never thought that that will lead to a very special and strong bond of friendship that we have. Thank you for introducing me to all the good souls that we now called the Gs. Ash, Ezelle, Mai, Cia, Aira, Moises, Kea, Sherry, Kath, Char, Jas. Thank you guys! Rizza, another nanay. Thank you for being the most patient person in the room. Hahaha. Hello kay Ven! (Wala akong gift sa pasko, sorna agad.) Liza, for being the most lovely, real, and kind-hearted person. I know people might look at you differently but you are you and I'm glad that you are your own person. Always, always caring about everyone, even if they don't deserve it anymore. Stay pretty! Nezza, srsly not used on calling you that coz Wife. Thank you for putting up with me, and for everything. Keeping me sane, insane, making my life more colorful (LG ka talaga e). Thank you for confusing everyone with me, hahaha, and all the sappy eme will be sent through letter. Mama, Papa, Kuya Mark, Ate Mau, Ate Mich, everyone, thank you so so much. Thank you LORD for all the blessings, the whole college journey full of struggles and lessons. Hindi pa ho ako graduate pero one sem na lamang! Thank you at konti nanlang finish line na! 1 Corinthians 9:24 ESV Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
