Six years with SOT®P today, but it feels like more than ten.
Yes, it's exhausting at times, but God is always faithful.

“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”

One of the things I learned lately is to NOT BE SORRY FOR CHOOSING MYSELF FROM TIME TO TIME...

Maybe its like you said before, all of us being cracked open. Like each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And then things happen - these people leave us, or don’t love us, or don’t get us, or we don’t get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And the vessel starts to crack in places. And I mean, yeah once the vessel cracks open, the end becomes inevitable. Once it starts to rain inside the Osprey, it will never be remodeled. But there is all this time between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And its only that time that we see one another, because we see out of ourselves through our cracks and into others through theirs. When did we see each other face to face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade, but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out.

Late post...
(This was originally written in my 'journal' on August 27, 2020, after writing...
"Should I start writing my thoughts again? I guess I should..."
... last July 10, 2020.)
-----
"The greatest revenge is when you continue thriving even if people continue trying to destroy you."
Learned last week that my former boss is quitting his work here, his work for years, and it was confirmed this week.
I know it all started last year... Hope I am wrong, but if it really is, I pray that it didn't destroy his passion. I know he is intimidating at times, but I think it is all driven by his passion which other think as because of his position.
Boss, I know it is hard to start again, but continue on. Prove them that they can't "destroy" you. Maybe your work here is done already... 😔
Thank you for the cup of coffee last EdCon and for asking if I am OK when I posted 'sad' stuff in my timeline without realizing it. Know, Sir, that I learned a lot from you.
Yes, there are times that we don't see things eye-to-eye, but those times make me humble (added today: and stronger).
Thank you for believing in me, Sir. God bless you! Wherever God leads you, I know He will bless.

Pwede ba?!
When people think that they know how to live our lives better than ourselves...
A former schoolmate (not even a friend), all of a sudden, sent me a message through FB. We chatted for a while, then all of a sudden asked me if I already have a family which of course I answered, "NONE."
Below is our convo after , but others were deleted...
S: Nya iaanap ko sa foreigner😂😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️
A: Haha, iba a misyon ko. 😄
S: Inayko mg-madre kyod
A: Nag-eenjoy ako sa work. Ok man a mag-iyan sa ibang bansa pero travel lang talaga.
S: Reminder gurang na kta (Remember we are old already)
I was about to reply her with, "SO?! "
I don't understand why people have to set a standard na dapat if you are this "OLD" you are supposed to be married already. There are even times they would ask you after asking if you are already married na, "Pero may boyfriend?" When you answer na "wala," they seem to pity you. At times, may kasunod pa, "May nanliligaw?" Again, when you answer na "wala" may itatanong pa yan, "Pero may nanligaw naman dati?" na parang kawawang-kawawa ka.
My goodness!
Hindi ba pwedeng, "I decided to be single than settle for less, for pwede na, even if nagkakaedad na ako"?
Hindi ba pwedeng, "I have other priorities for now than settle down"?
Hindi ba pwedeng, "Wala pa talaga ang kalooban ni Lord kaya single pa rin ako"?
Pwede ba?!
Minsan pa, people are too insensitive. Kahit medyo naiirita ka na, 'di pa rin nila magets. But to tell you, hindi kami naiirita dahil single kami. Ang nakakairita ay 'yung kahit anong sabihin o paliwanag naming mga single pa rin kahit nasa 30s na, you are still sticking to your belief na DAPAT MAY ASAWA NA KAMI.
Try to think of it, folks, our life is different from yours. Whatever the consequences of our choices (not to marry 'early or not to marry at all), it is us who will reap, NOT YOU. Please respect our decisions. We would appreciate your suggestion for us to marry, when to marry or whom to marry, pero hanggang dun lang ang role niyo. When it comes to our marriage, we will always have the final say.
We just hope you respect our choices.

I find it pathetic when a person has to destroy other people's friendship to keep theirs.
On the other side, I believe if the friendship is genuine, no one can destroy it.

Why is it so natural for us to blame other people of our 'misery' without evaluating our own actions?
Is it too hard to own our mistakes?
Is it that hard to be responsible for our lives?

Lazy day. Again!
Still so many things to do, but I don't have the drive to start anything yet.
Hay, Self. Ano na?!

Something Personal
Doing a lot of thinking lately...
This ECQ is making me insane and giving me a lot of time to evaluate the choices I made in the past.
While I am proud of all things I accomplished (by God's grace alone), I am also ashamed of some things I did. One of which is those exchange of messages.
I should have known better. I should have acted differently, but I didn't. Now I didn't know how to handle it. Things got out of hand.
Praying that things will go back to normal once this ECQ ends.
Praying for things to be in place again once work resumes.
It is complicated, but I know this, too, shall pass.
Self, okay lang 'yan. Matatapos din ang drama. Magtrabaho ka na!
