My Sunshine After The Rain

I am writing this post using my phone. I'm too lazy to power up my laptop. Although it annoys me to NOT have control over the format of this Blogger app, I'd still like to share with you all how my day went.

It is an understatement to say that I have been sad or down the past couple of days. Every day I felt like crying and I was just plain miserable and annoyed at the entire world...and for my own selfish reasons. I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to. It was all too horrible. Anyway, TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY! I am very thankful.

Along with 3 of my bestfriends (whom I haven't seen in over a month), we went to Quezon City on an errand for one of our subjects last semester. Although it's far, it's okay. You know how people say that in life, it's never really about the destination but rather the travel? Well, literally put, I enjoy my travels with these 3 rather than the destination itself. Always. So I'm quite glad that we had to travel at least 2 hours each way.

Just sitting there in the car, listening to music and sharing random stories and throwing much random insults at one another... It helped me forget why I was so miserable for the past days. We did what we always did and what we do best: EAT! My money always goes to food when I'm with them.

After that, we got to go to our Chapel and helped out on repacking some of the goods that we'll be donating to those who have suffered the wrath of Typhoon Haiyan. We also had fun on taking photos of ourselves using awesome different iPhone camera lenses.

I'm glad I for today. It made me realize that I'm still blessed no matter how crappy I may feel towards myself and some of those around me. Happiness isn't really a destination: it's a Choice.

Stay happy! No matter how hard it is, find time to count your blessings. It helps. ❤❤❤

Missing In Action

     I don't really have an excuse as to why I have been M.I.A. for the past months... But all I can say is I've been too caught up with ALL the school works and my personal issues in life. 

     Anyway, I am (technically) DONE with my College days. I'm not enrolled to any subjects or in my school anymore since the list have finally ran out. I feel like I belong with the thousands or millions of unemployed population here in the Philippines. 

       I don't really have a right to complain about that now since I am absolutely sure that you have all heard about the Super or Mega Typhoon Haiyan which they say is THE strongest typhoon to ever hit the Earth in all its years of existence. I'm not sure if my information is correct, though. I try my hardest to steer clear of watching and or reading any news about the devastation it has caused here in our country. It's depressing. 

      All I can do now is help in the best way I can and continue on praying for the souls of those who have perished in the worst possible way and for the families they have left behind. I also pray that those who are still missing will be found soon so that their family and friends will have some peace of mind in the middle of all the tragedies. 

     So, I'll keep this post short. I just wanted to tell you guys that I am still here and maybe now that I have all the time in the world, I can finally work on all those backlog posts and share with you all my adventures last summer -- how many months has it been?! 

      Keep safe! I hope you find a way to somehow help my fellow countrymen. To those of you who have, I'd like to thank you all. God bless!
