Every Thursday, whenever Din and I meet, we don’t have a destination in mind. A place to hang out just pops out our minds instantly. This time, we headed to Ortigas Center. Since we both experienced working in this strip of call center offices, we felt like being “home” once again.

I remember some five years ago when I used to spend most of my time here..not only to work but to hang out, chill, drink, smoke (no more!), chat, and laugh with friends. I also remembered my once dream of owning my own condo unit and to live around this area. Only shows how I used to love Ortigas..right?!

How do you move on when there is no closure??

How do you start a new one when you haven’t even finished the last one??

How do you stop the tears when you’re still hurting??

How do you mend your broken heart when the scar is so deep??

How do you start being happy again when it shows in your eyes how sad you are??

How do you go back to a past too well remembered??

How do you live a present when you’ve been stuck to a situation which you can never bring back??

How do you say you’re complete again when you’ve lost a big part of yourself??

How do you pull yourself up from a quicksand and any time you’ll end up sinking??

How do you move on when you’re still waiting??

How do you stop the tears from falling and just start being happy again??

How??

Can anyone please tell me??

I was just about to start my day when I received a text message from work saying that my student for today is sick.  What’s even more sad is I won’t be able to meet her tomorrow too.  I went back to bed and when I was about to break down, my mom entered the room and asked me what’s with the sad face.  I was starting to get frustrated again because I’ve been looking forward to a whole new work week.  She told me to cheer up and invited me to go shopping at 168.  I suddenly felt the gray cloud above my head turned into a ray of light.  Yahoo!!  Moms really know how to cheer up and save their children from a possible frustration.  They never want to see their children with a sullen face.  They will do everything to make us happy.  She is my hero, that’s why I love her so much.

It is the first day of school tomorrow.  Expect heavy traffic..whew!!  Good thing I don’t have a scheduled session with my students.  Woohoo!! 

Kingking is staying for two weeks, I think.  Ate Mina is flying to SG next weekend, and no one’s gonna look after her.  Expect more dog fights between Kingking and Rex.  Harharhar!!

I really had a bad week.  I’ve been suffering from cramps all week long, had a heated argument with a friend, and one of my students didn’t show up again for the nth time without a call or even a single text.  However, I still decided to end this week with a positive outlook despite of these circumstances.  My cramps all of a sudden disappeared.  I texted my friend and told her to just get over what happened.  She’s cool with it.  I have no intentions of holding grudges against anyone for so long.  As for my student, I can only hope and pray he shows up this week.  His presence is out of my hand already since his mother is the one who brings him to the clinic. 

I can still say..all is well, that ends well.

I am looking forward to a new and better week.  I know unexpected and unavoidable circumstances are still bound to happen.  But the important thing is, how I face, handle, and surpass them…still with a smile.
