its pretty late. and today's pleasant, even that horror movie. smiles.
alicia reminded me about updating. so here i am.
its been a waterfall, my life. it started off as rapids. uneven riverbed. choppy. differential rate of erosion, sometimes life go slow, sometimes it move up and it goes on and off.
and then come the plunge. no, it's not an expression of sadness, like how things go down. rather, how things go fast. without control, except the seemingly unnoticed factor of gravitional pull after the erosion of less resistant rock. the erosion of those times.
yes. life's gone so fast, there werent much control, except the natural gravitional pull, the pull towards a lower land where it's safe again. when the water's calmer. where i want to be.
but all's well. since council begun, i had to work. i had to pick up i had to move. i cant look back. there wasnt much faith in looking back. because what lies ahead is the pathway forward, the choice made for that gleam of light.
we held meetings almost everyday. the events that will be held in cjc. throughout our term of office. carefully planned and chosen. the need for proposals, for discussions;time for meeting with the teachers. for knowing the fellow councillors, especially in CI. for just being there, because they make my day all the time. bottomline, we are ambitious, but i am sure it will all work out.
[blooddonation; openhouse; cip bank; environmental awareness; rockafella; orientation; aesthetics night; teachers' day and counting. and counting.]after invest, we had our duties for the official PAC/LRC opening. it was sji once more. i was put into the very entrance of the PAC to meet and direct. it just reminds me that it doesnt matter who you are, but what you do. that every single one of us have a role to play, just so it all will be a success. and we. we are but only the frontline. to finally complete the puzzle.
saw bernard low.teacher back in sji. my CO when i became CSM. and found out he was a councillor in CJ. the 13th batch if i am not wrong, together with his wife. and it struck me how easy i could strike a conversation to a CO which i never did know how to speak properly then. he asked me whether i would find my love in council, just like he did. i just smiled.
and studies go backstage. fatigue is always apparent. i slept almost all lectures/tutorials. but somehow, the aftermath's not felt yet. do i see it extinguishing itself, or do i still have the strength to mend it. i wish for the latter. and i wish hard. to see to it that events are done in cj. i would want my life in cj to be as wonderful. as complete. and so must my grades. because its all that really count in this college.
we all have our waterfalls. because everyone wants their open seas. when the crazy river comes to a peaceful end. when we can finally see the horizon together with a smile, and a pat from a loved one.
and we all remember. that there's always a cave behind every waterfall. a reminder that life's not all that over. that we can choose to stop and breathe. even if the plunge falls hard.
