Open Letter to the Person who brought out the best in me.

I thought I'm just nobody. I thought i'm completely a regular person. I thought people can expect less from me, or if they do more, I'll fail them. I thought i'll be just a student, period. But at least that's just what I thought, until you came.

You were the typical teacher who delivers his/her discussions in the class. Nothing more, nothing less. However, time could tell how much you changed my perspective, views, and most of all confidence.  Your lessons became more and more complex, but I was able to catch up. In fact, I lived with it with appreciation way beyond than I expected in such a boring a lesson. I noticed some things as well. How you deliver your discussion to the class with such intimacy between the Lesson-You- and Me wowed me. Such passion that I saw made me listen more intently everytime you open your mouth. I know that the ultimate goal of a teacher is to impart their knowledge to the young ones, and you did it with more effort exerted than expected. But, that is not the only thing that is happening here. Every class with you was a chance for me to find myself. My inner, undiscovered, and hidden self. I though all I know about myself was just it. But you made me realize that I can still be more than me.


Wisdom was passed down in our usual talks. Simple talks that contain life, love, and meaning. You empowered me intellectually, emotionally with a heart, character and values.

You gave me more reason to pursue my education course plan. You supported my parents plans for me. And i'm always thankful for it.

Thank you for bringing out the new better version of me.

Thank you for helping me discover myself even more.

Thank you for building me into this kind of person.

You've always been a part of who I am today.

That fact won't be forgotten.

You are my history, that is remembered today, and will always be in my heart even in the future.

Continue to touch other people's lives.

To all next gens of their family business

Everybody talks about successful people who worked hard for themselves. Those who hustle for their own brand name. Oh, how proud others are. And I am too. But nobody talks about the 2nd generation or further in a family business, who hustle the same way and worked hard not for themselves but for their family. Not a lot of people are proud of them, but for sure, their parents are. So am I too.  Yes, they are blessed to just follow and continue what has been established. Most people think there's not too much work anymore because a system is set, quality is known, clients exist already, and all they have to do is to maintain and sustain which are easy to do. I tell you, to fit into someone else's shoes is 10x harder than you think it is. Family pressure is unending. Not to mention leaving animosity between your family at work as you have family meals together is another challenge. It is easier to work with other people as there is a clear line between a professional relationship

You found your prince charming once more. Or so you thought. You find comfort in him, true. You've always been honest with him, like not a single lie you made, true. You tell him everything and everything, not a single detail left, true. You feel at your best when talking to him, true. Brought out the rational side of you, so true. But that's not until you hurt yourself for having that fantasy again. He's no toad, I should say. The prince charming you've always wanted when you were still a little girl. The kind of prince who has always been your knight and shining armor. Always there to understand even the most confusing time of your life. He never left, true. But you did. You two have been perfect. Not a serious argument ever happened within that 6-year-happy-tea party you have together. Fireworks shoot up the sky when you were officially together. You know how deadly it could be to be in that kind of relationship. You knew it baby girl, but you took the risk. Now, l

"Thy will be done"

Image
We often hear this in prayers, until we learn to say this everytime we pray as well. But what does it really mean when you say "Thy will be done"? What word pops up in your head when you hear this? Faith! That's right. Tita Merriam (Charot! My tita is a dictionary HAHA) defined faith as a strong belief or trust in someone, and a belief in the existence of God: strong religious feelings or beliefs. In these definitions alone, it is clear that faith is having trust to God. TRUST here is not the "I trust that the Lord will make me the top of the class", or the "I trust him for letting me win in this competition", or the "I trust God for not allowing him to cheat on me". But rather, I'm talking about saying "I trust you Lord for bringing out the best of me in a humble way, a top student or not, your will be done" "I trust him for helping me please the audience, win or lose, your will be done" " I trust
