a good day…..
there are bad days and then there are good days….
and today, is definitely one of ‘em good days…
all month long i’ve been so pissed about not having my scholarship… about being left to hang on clift with one hand while wondering if someone would pass by and help me out…
i’ve been slowly losing my motivation… like a train running low on coal and steam was slowly disappearing… but today, my motivation just got a little boost…
just when you thought that it would just be another day, something comes up to help you take a step further towards a happier day…
just a few hours ago while i was on my way to school, i had a little chat with one of my grandmother’s barkada.. she talked and about her grandchildren who were taking up medicine in Australia (dang… kakaingit)… she told me how hard it was to get into med school there but her grandkids made it! galing!… then she started asking how i was…
Lola Nati: oh musta naman pagaaral mo?
Me: Ok naman po…
Lola Nati: malapit ka na ba gumaraduate?
Me: tagal pa nga po eh… dalawang taon pa
Lola Nati: ah ganun ba? kaya mo yan basta sipag lang at dedikasyon at makakaraos ka din
Me: sana nga po.. o pano ho pasok na ako my test pa po eh
Lola Nati: o sige…
and just after i turned around to walk towards the jeepney waiting at the corner, she said something that kind of made me feel better about the day.. like a sign which said that it would be a good day…
Lola Nati: i’ll be praying for your success…
that’s what she said… i don’t know what you guys would have felt but at that moment, i just felt relieved… free… it was like someone giving you a pat on the back telling you that its gonna be ok… after she said that, i looked back, gave a smile and as i was walking towards the jeepney, i looked up to the clear blue sky and said, hah! you really know how to motivate us….
just when i’ve almost given up hope…. He was there again to save my sorry ass… He was always there…
and true enough, the day was indeed better… when i got to school, i found out that our scholarships were approved! man… that’s a lot of load off my parent’s back…
Thank God…
then after class, we had free pizza! can you imagine that?… i do agree with the saying that the day is only good if you make it good for you but man… this was different, it was a day i had no control of whatsoever… it was all Him…
yeah i know i’m starting to sound like a priest again but… that’s just the way it is… Thank you God… for everything =)
