your diary.
remember i wrote something about living frugally on surprise? well, i actually got what i asked for. haha. last week was a merry mixture of great, touching, astounding, perplexing, alarming, amazing and heart-warming surprises. i was literally blown away most of the time.
last saturday was also my last NSTP so it meant saying goodbye to the kids i had been close to for almost a year. my NSTP is with ACLC (ateneo christian life community) and my area is at payatas dos. one of the touching moments was when all of a sudden, some of my kids and a few more who had joined my last story-telling session of Dr.Seuss' "A Cat in the Hat" (in tagalog ha, kala nyo.heehee. kebs lng ang rhyming!) all started to give me flowers that they picked near the chapel. it was the first time and the last time. . sigh. i have always believed that kids have this certain unspoken understanding of the situations and things around them so... it was simply amazing that they "sort of" knew that it was going to be the last.
pinakanakakagulat was, all of a sudden, my guy area mate (we met through my being a part of their area but we were never close. kakulitan lng.) who was sitting beside me said "mamimiss kita." sa pagkagulat ko nasabi ko tuloy "hahahahahahaahaha... *change of mood* teka, seryoso ka ba?" haha. to which he replied "syempre serioso."
awwww... :)
i never knew na may effect akong ganun sa tao. chos. hahaha. i guess i had never been a fan of goodbyes. i havent cried for someone who left me either physically or .. ewan.. haha.. but nevertheless, i had always seen goodbyes as a "test" of the relationship. real friends will always find ways to stay, in my experience ;p
===================================
Oh the comfort ----
the inexpressible comfort of feeling
safe with a person,
Having neither to weigh thoughts,
Nor measure words ---
but pouring them
All right out --- just as they are---
chaff and grain together ---
Certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping ---
And with a breath of
kindness,
blow the rest away.

Y' know what? I'm convinced that if you weren't into development studies (tama ba?) you should have a career as a writer. The last few posts made me think so ;)
ahaha.. thanks :)
sbi nga ng mga tinake kong personality test writer din pwede.. hahaha. although my fil teacher in high school also believed in my talent na ginawa nya akong scriptwriter ng play namin nung senior year. pressure. hahaha.
anyhow.. some of the stuff i wrote sa previous posts were quotes i got.. some were made by me. baka naman kaya ka nagsbi na pwede ako maging writer eh dahil sa mga quotes na hindi ako gumawa... wahahhaah.
btw, may The Easter Journey concert on march 10. there's an anticipated mass at 530pm then 7pm ang concert. it will be at the ateneo high school chapel.
