Thankful
I am now done with the school year, academics. Had my final final Thursday last week, Corpo. The verdict — the same as every year: it could’ve been better, I could’ve tried harder but then, it’s not totally bad. Things could be worse. One day I’ll wake up and finally decide to apply myself in every aspect of my life for everyday that I live it. May that day come soon.
You know how when something bad happens to you all of a sudden you see clearly the things that matter, and how you, as a person have power over them and over yourself. Well, the long and short of it is that I am very thankful I went to UP — it’s about time I immersed myself in the real world. I am thankful for my barkada — they are the best, and even when we piss each other off sometimes, we never lose respect for each other, and we see each other in the best light in spite of circumstances and the current state of internal affairs. I am thankful for Papa — everyday he shows me what unconditional love is. It’s his birthday by the way. I am thankful for Mommy — she has prepared me to deal with life the best way she knows how, how to deal with people who think they are always right, and dammit, family’s family, there’s nothing we can do about it. I am thankful for the colorful people in law school — I have become resilient because of you. I am thankful I took law — the hardest things are the most worthwhile to do, it builds character. And most of all, I am thankful of how my life has turned/is turning out. And that I have power over it. And that most things in life are a decision.
And that’s the year end report for AY 2005-06.
