Overthinking created hell inside me.

After the scheduled Orientation Program(it's awsm, btw), I had a bit of tension inside me. Yes,
'overthinking' visited me again. Well, honestly this isn't easy for me. Trust me, I go through a lot of
depression moments caused by overthinking. Minsan, mapapaiyak na lang ako sa sobra dami kong
iniisip. So I decided to just write over my feelings here.

COLLEGE NA AKO! Ang bilis talaga. Young adult na daw, ika nga. Pero honestly, ang hirap pala
magsimula ulit kasi dinadala mo pa din yung nakasanayan mo sa past life which is HIGH SCHOOL.
Hindi pa nagsisimula literally college life ko pero nahohomesick ako sa high school friends ko. During
the orientation, I just feel left out or talagang kasalanan ko kasi I don't know how to socialize or to
voice out myself to other people. IT'S HARD!! They're so jolly while I'm there having an awkward
relationship with my cellphone. Tapos bigla akong napaisip, am I really qualified enough for this
course? I think not. Look, first I NEED CONFIDENCE. Saan ba nabibili 'yon? Pati SELF-ESTEEM.
This is what I am scared of, baka madala ko yung pagiging 'mahiyain/introvert' ko sa college. And
voila! It really happened. Parang lahat sila they're confident sa school lalo na mga upper classmen
namin kaya I feel bad and I pity myself.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! WILL I BE ABLE TO PULL EVERYTHING OFF?! TRASH
EVERYTHING?!

Ang hirap pala mag-adjust. Yes, sabi nila it's normal but nadedepress ako. Ganito na talaga ako and I
don't know why.

Makakapasa kaya ako sa 75% passing grade? Makakasama kaya ako sa Dean's List? Siguro mapapahiya
ako lagi sa mga professors ko. I'm scared of facing tomorrows. Most of all, I'm scared of what other
people will think of me.

Also, hanggang ngayon, hindi ko alam kung sino ba talaga ako. As I have observed, full of talented
people yung school tapos ako wala lang, parang hindi ako bagay dito. Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa fully-
blossomed yung talent ko at hanggang ngayon naguguluhan pa ako kung ano talaga ang talent ko. My
talent may not be the best like everybody else has, yung iba sobrang talented. Ugh. <//3 Yung ibang
upperclassmen namin sabi sa'min palagi na dapat daw hindi kami mahihiya sa kanila. I just don't know
how to act like a young adult. Yung hindi na kailangan mahiya. I'm so clueless.

Para sa aking mga magulang.

I intended to type my message below in Tagalog.

Mga magulang? Meron ako niyan, bigay 'yan ni Lord. Alam mo? Sobrang blessed ako kasi meron
akong mommy at daddy na magmamahal sa akin araw-araw. Sa ilang taon ng pagkabuhay ko,
minahal at binigyan nila ang pangangailangan ko. Dear God, maraming salamat po dahil andyan sila
para mahalin ako at gabayan. Kahit minsan, meron mga misunderstandings, naayos naman po
agad.
 Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Pasensiya na po nung graduation wala akong letter sa inyo. Ayun, after ilang years graduate na din
po ako.
Salamat po sa lahat ng pagtiyatiyaga niyo sa akin. Alam kong mahirap magpalaki at buhayin ang
tatlong anak pero nakaya niyo po. Thankful din po ako kay God kasi very strong ang relationship
niyong dalawa. Kay Daddy, thank you po kasi kayo po ang naging 'mommy/daddy namin for almost
six years. Nakita ko po na sobra kayong loyal and supportive sa'min kahit minsan hectic na ang
schedule niyo sa trabaho. Salamat po, Daddy. Pasensiya na din po kung minsan nagagalit na kayo
sa'min kasi palagi kami nag-aaway nina Ate and Erik. Kay mommy po, alam kong matindi ang tiniis
niyo para lang mabigyan kami ng magandang buhay. Minsan, nag-aaalala pa po ako kasi hindi ko
alam kung anong nangyayari sa inyo doon pero pinapagpray ko po kayo na sana safe lang po kayo.
Thank you, Ma.

Madaming oras kayong binuhos para turuan kami ng tama. Salamat po dahil meron nagtuturo sa
amin na hindi dapat mainggit sa mga bagay-bagay na meron ang iba, na kailangan maging kuntento
ka sa anong meron ka, na dapat marunong kang magpasalamat at marunong ka magshare sa ibang
tao. Salamat po, ma and dad. Sorry po ulit kung minsan, wala nadin po kami sa mood na gawin ang
utos niyo.

Sobrang laki po ang pasasalamat ko. Kay Mommy, alam ko po na kahit minsan pagod na pagod na
kayo pero kahit ganun, pinagsisilbihan niyo pa kami. Gusto ko lang po magpasensiya kasi alam ko
kahit minsan hindi ko nagawang makakuha ng achievement na ikakaproud niyo. Kahit yung mga
universities po, hindi ko napapasahan. Pasensiya na po talaga. Sana someday magsisikap ako para
 kahit minsan maging proud din kayo sakin. Eh alam niyo naman po ako, masyado akong mahiyain
at natatakot na magtry.

Thank you po dahil sa mga oras na sobrang lungkot at inis na ako, pinapatawa niyo ako at
pinapagaan niyo ang loob ko. Salamat po salahat mammy and daddy. Hindi man sapat 'tong thank
you pero sana masuklian ko po lahat. Naging mabuting magulang kayo sa amin, salamat po sa
pasensiya niyo at supporta kahit ayaw ko yung gusto niyo, basta kung saan ako masaya doon kayo.
Thank you po. Alam ko po na ginagawa niyo ang lahat para lang mapasaya kami.

Madami na din po akong pinagdaanan. Minsan, hindi ko na po kayo nakakabonding dahil sa

sobrang busy sa school lalo na graduating ako. Pero thank you po sa motivation at kapag
pumupunta yung mga classmates ko, pinaghahandaan niyo pa po kami ng pagkain. At yung mga
araw ng prom ko at seniors night na kayo pa ang mas excited sa'kin.

Hindi ko man po mabanggit lahat ng utang na loob ko sa inyo, pero alam ko, at alam ni Lord na
madami na kayong nagawa para sa akin at sa amin.

Sana po ay i-continue padin po kayong ibless ni God. Sana palagi kayong nasa tabi namin.
Thank you for bein such great parents.
I love you Mommy and Daddy.

Love.
Chi <3

My latest obsession. Get Pitch slapped!

Pitch Perfect = two words of definite perfection
"I love you awesome nerds." - Beca
Well, well, well. I've discovered a new trend in the music world. If you have ever heard about Pitch
Perfect, you're pitch slapped already. IT IS 100% AWESOME AND PERFECT! Maybe you're thinking
that I'm completely obsessed with the whole movie, which I am, that's why I am saying it's beyond and
over perfection level. Everyone would say that every part of the Musical Comedy movie directed
by Jason Moore is very entertaining. I agree, of course! No doubt, indeed. The very moment I saw
the ending, I utter "The ending was such a cliff-hanger! They deserved a PART 2! :P" But, I realized
from what Jesse(Skyler Astin) have said that ENDINGS ARE THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE.

Undeniably, the casts have chemistry especially Jesse and Beca. Beca confessed her love to Jesse
through singing Don't You Forget About Me derived from 1985's The Breakfast Club(which is also an
awesome musical movie and Jesse's favorite) during the ICCA Finals. I also love the part when
Jesse makes use of the CDs to joke around Beca. "Nakakakilig talaga sila." :"> <3

Anna Kendrick is almost perfect. The way she sings and mix music. Her creativity is awesome that
makes me want to do her stuff. Okay, self-esteem droppin' to zero. HUHUHUHU! :"( I've always
wanted to sing as excellently like her but it seems fate hasn't changed me.

Another, FREDDIE STROMA. His abs. His handsomeness. I can hardly recognize him from the
movie. From Once Upon A Song to Pitch Perfect? He improved in physical attributes. Shaved some
of his hair. He got thinner, I guess? But I like his hair before in the Cinderella Movie.
#DJinTheRadioBooth

Then, Andy Grammer's song. I didn't know Andy Grammer is somehow a popular singer. I screamed
when I heard his song Keep Your Head Up being played during the ACA-initiation. ;)

Fourth, I love the Riff-off phase. It is very evident that everyone of them is enjoying their roles in the
movie and that's what I loved. Lastly, the music is good, their voices, dance steps, acting skills. And
don't forget the MASH-UPS. You can't deny it. E-VERYTHING IS GREA-A-AT!

All of them are indeed talented. Great voices, indeed! The movie is so influential. Very influential! The
songs are very catchy. I don't know why I am clearly obsessed but I cannot let a day pass without
watching Pitch Perfect. I think I already watched it for 723529183721 times already. But I'll get rid of
this, someday.
MAINSTREAM? The ACA-words. Aca-xcuse me? Aca-believe it. Aca-awkward. Aca-people

*toodles!

Uncanny.
I sit in silence where words whisper through my ear. I am waiting to blog for something in line with
sense, but I guess this is what I had in store. I had the most awful day at school. Questions starting to
startle my mindless brain. Thoughts scattered around my head. When will I escape this, though? I was
disappointed in myself. Knowing I had lesser capabilities to achieve what I wanted to. I clearly don't
know what to think but an introvert girl scampering along the ladder of success. Who am I? I ask that
question to myself. I have no standards. Oh golly! Why am I even degrading myself? I should be proud
that I was born determined and strong. Stern enough to conquer disappointments. I, only desire for
reform in my life. Where I could straighten my wrongs in school and in life. I will manifest the values
that I should possess as a teenager and continue to live a plausible faith. Deep breaths and prayer
will make me feel better! <3

Vintage love. Letter for my parents!

"Forever will I be grateful for the meaningful triumphs, laughter, and disappointments that are
tantamount to an everlasting grace from God Almighty." - Patricia Lanting

Dear Mother and Father,

It has been 14 wonderful years. 14 years of joy, expectations, disappointments, bond, love, and
comfort. I will be forever grateful to the Almighty. I grew up to be independent, responsible, simple,
God-fearing, relinquished, and loved. Thank you for giving your 14 years to me. The time when I said
my first word, had my first scar, first teardrop, first laughter, first blow, and all my 'firsts' you continued
to stand on stage of every accomplishment I had made. For the past 14 years, you have given me the
support and encouragement I need in order for me to stand on my own and trigger unwanted
beginnings. Sorry if I gave you stories of disappointments and sudden downfall. I promised myself to
be a good daughter to God, both of you, and my grandparents. You were my first teachers. Home is
my first school. It is where I obtain taught values from you. Thank you for giving me enough knowledge
to conquer my curiousity. God made a special plan for me and it is to love who I am, who you are, and
where my faith brings me. I maybe able to cry on the deepest regrets but you made me feel special
beyond disappointments. Deeply sorry if I sometimes acted misbehavely and disobeyed your orders.
Everyday, God helped me realize that I am 'more than blessed' because I am living with two amazing
persons. Thank you for giving me priceless kisses and hugs.
Thank you for filling me in with the great fulfillments. Setting some time maybe that crucial, but thank
you for giving us some space. Continue to love as how you have loved each other. Love conquers all
though problems may bring sudden cuts.

Thank you for the love

Thanks for the care
The food
The education
The things money can't buy!

I love you for bringing me into such paradise. I know this message may not be such meaningful but
atleast you get through to my message.

What's school?
For months, I missed this kind of scenario. Typing my thoughts without minding the world that revolves.
Well, once I write, I vanish from reality.

August 5, 2012 7:42pm

Greetings blog world. I missed you so dearly. Well, don't blame me. SCHOOL is the mainstream cause
of all this writing delay. I should've been typing my favorite MAROON 5 songs or even promote about
THE SCRIPT's upcoming #3 Album release. But, no. REALITY is REALITY. I need to wake up at
exactly 5 am and be ready for SCHOOL.

By the way, what's school?

School is the most horrifying place. I just hate it kasi I need to wake up early. Waking up early with an
eye open is certainly one of my morning sickness. I hate hearing my alarm blabber about 5 AM. Okay,
stop nonsense. As I was typing, school is where young people like me learn through the vast world of
different subjects like Science, Mathematics, Language and other fields. It is where we gain utmost
knowledge that we don't know how to apply in real life situations. I just get used to it. Knowledge is
just for the brain; not for undeniably nonsense things. I am a Senior student in a school that I call
as "Home for hell weeks." They certainly love to create massive announcements about Early
dismissals, early project submission, and early quarterly examinations. I just don't get it why they love
piling up tasks that makes their students develop procastination even more. They can't blame us.

For the first quarter of my Senior year, we're all busy exchanging conversations about group projects.
Imagine, for every subject, we are given a Performance Task. I think we have 10-12 subjects and we
need to manage our time doing all of these performance tasks ahead the quota date which is JULY
30 and 31. These are not just ordinary projects, they make up 40% of our grade. And this is where
we can pour down our hardwork to strive for better gradings. Plus, we need to give up our weekends
for project making and even our normal sleep hours for all of these. This is hell! Gratefully, our classes
were suspended last July 30. On July 31, we finished everything. It was a complete hassle. I brought
heavy paper bags + laptop + 2 file folders + lunchbox + camera. KABOOM! I still need to carry
everything until I reach the 3rd Floor of the Highschool Building. That's not all. After JULY 31, last
August 1-3, we had our Quarterly Examinations. It didn't feel like an quarterly exam because we didn't
have room assignments plus it it just weeks after our summative test. Also, I feel like I studied seriously
during the summative than quarterly exam. Hahaha! Parang nag "SUMMATIVE TEST RETAKE" lang
kami. Filipino exam was hell. And so is, Biochemistry. But, I don't get it why our Calculus teacher
inserted an essay part in his exam. So fun no?

This is school. The place where we experience sleepless nights and cramming. Now all of these are
lessened, I can return to my normal sleep time. Thank you, Lord!

I just need to learn how not to stress myself more. It's making me cry. :'(
Tententenen, UPCAT next entry. :>

Graduation: Step Closer.

I will miss my Highschool life. Since I am a Senior student recently, it makes me seem that I was a
Freshmen student way back then. Imagine, 4 years is really not enough. Likely, Highschool is really
the best part of my life. It is when you try build more confidence, stumble, fall, and rise up back again.
That's why I love it. It is also the time when I made worthy friends who will stand by me every step I
make, they'll support me.

I need to make my remaining 10 months SUPER MEMORABLE. I'm not going to cry. :|

*Continuation of this blog: After I graduate! HAHA! Toodles. :-*

Once Upon A Time: Two worlds refurbished.

ONCE UPON A TIME!
"Once upon a time, an evil queen vanished every storybook character you've ever known to
our world, who knows the truth."

I've been spreading Once Upon A Time addiction to my fellas. The show is really a great
recommendation for all types of ages. My mother is always bugging me to let her watch every episode
I am watching. Since I'm too much busy with paperworks, I still find ways to watch an episode every
weekend.

I first saw this Once Upon A Time on Star World Philippines. I liked the pilot episode that's why I was
very attached to it. AND I ALSO ASKED FOR SOME INSTANT EPISODES FOR MY LAPTOP. Credits
to Dianne Joy Quintela @diannejoyy for lending me some of her files. I'm still grateful until now!!!!

By the way, in case you don't know yet what is inside that treasure show of mine, I created a blog to
burst out my sudden addiction to this.

Once Upon A Time was a show created by Tron Legacy writers: Edward Kitsis and Adam
Horowitz(THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS AWSM STORYLINE! LOVELOTS <3)
For the plot of Season 1:

The Evil Queen interrupts Snow White's happy ending and promised to cast a curse on everyone.
(EVIL IS EVIL, ya'll know that?!) And the curse is tantamount to a THOUSAND WORDS! Loljke. It is
when the evil queen brought every storybook character to OUR WORLD(Reality) and they won't even
remember their identity in the past living as fantasy characters. As expected, the evil queen is the only
one who knew about her past & recent identity. All fantasy characters was sent to a place called
"STORYBROOKE, MAINE."

Cinderella.

Pinocchio
 Snow White & Evil Queen

Snow White(Pretty isn't she? That's why she's the fairest of them all.)

Prince Charming

CHARACTERS:

Snow White
7 Dwarfs
Huntsman
Prince Charming
Evil Queen
Pinocchio
Gepetto
Rumpelstiltskins
Cinderella
Fairy God Mother
Hansel & Gretel
Red Riding Hood
Belle
Grandmother

I am really loving every episode with all those twists & turns. Commendable watch!
THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!

Dinner is ready.
I've written this some time for our Microbiology Class. It is my first story that I wrote and I want to share
it with you. Hope you like it!

“Dinner is ready.”, father exclaimed. Served in the table were Sweet and Sour shrimp topped with
celery. “This looks so delectable.” Lawrence added, while pointing to the refrigerated Mango and
Peach Cream Pie. Back in the girl’s bedroom, clothes were erratic on the floor, “Uggh! What to
wear?” I said. Picking out clothes for the Christmas Party was sure a hook-off. More on like a
chore. “Seige! It’s dinner time.” Father shouted. I answered, “Wait father!”. Spoon and forks
deep-toned were placed according to the table setting reference mother was looking for. Three
days until the Eve of Christmas was like no other. Church bells beckoning the neighborhood to
attend the Holy Eucharist. Children are excited for gift-opening. Songs are sung from house-to-
house to build harmony and unity. “We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a merry
Christmas.” A boy clothed with a torned shirt and bare foot sang. Aspiring for coins to be given
for him to buy some food to eat, to keep his tummy satisfied. Out of the blue, my brother Lawrence
wondered if we could go caroling in the neighborhood. “Seige, would you like to go house-to
house for caroling?” “Ask mother and father, Lawrence.” I answered. Caroling was an annual
tradition made by Filipinos. Days before Christmas they offer songs house-by-house and will ask
money in return as “pamasko”.

De la Cruz Family sat down the dinner table to eat. Prayer was recited first together with the light
wave breeze of the December wind. “Mommy, I want to experience caroling. May Seige and I
go?” Lawrence pleaded. “No, something may happen to you in the night.”, Mother acclaimed.
“But mother!” Lawrence grabbed my mother by the hand begging to go while kneeling. My mother
shrugged, signaling that she will think about it. “Let’s eat, discuss that matter afterwards my dear.”
Lawrence glanced at me with an incomparable face. While eating, Lawrence leaned beside me and
whispered conspiratorially, “Seige, make a move! It’s your turn to beg mother.” I giggled
constrainingly to help mother think that Lawrence whispered a joke. After dinner, succeedingly,
mother and father agreed. In prediction, Lawrence jumped for joy and shouted. “Hooray! Thank
you Mother and Father!” He gave a grateful hug with those sweet words. I forgot, he does it
seldomly. It was quarter our bedtime; lights that are flickering were turned off; gates locked; door
closed. Stars accosted my wide window, waving sparks goodbye. I closed the view with the
curtains clinging on my butterfly painted room.

The next day. The beaming flash of the sun woke me up. An admonition made me clutch out of
my bedside. Oh! I remembered, we’re going to carol in hours time. “We’re not yet practicing.
Lawrence!” I screamed. “It’s time to practice.” Hours were spent to practice our little production.
Exactly, after dinner, we caroled in many streets in our subdivision. We latch on to a lot
of “patawads.” But we gained shimmering coins and bills. On our second to the last stop, there
were a lot of dogs howling at us. I absolutely don’t like dogs who are hard to be with and noisy.
The house were surrounded by dogs. It was dark, no light and sound could be heard but the
howling. It was guarded by pricky stem of Rose flowers and Pink Carnation. Together we sang,
“We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry
Christmas, and a Happy New Year!”. By the time we ended our song, a little girl dressed in a
Tinkerbell costume walked towards us to give coins across the gold-coated metal gate hole. But
suddenly, when I was about to hold out my hand to the little girl, the dog bite my helpless hand
and ouch. “Ahhhh! Help me, Lawrence, the dog bit me! Call for help, Mother and father!” I
shouted and shouted. I felt outraged by the bite of the dog. The owner of the house, Mr. Legaspi
was a licensed doctor urgely came out when she heard my scream. “What happened?!”, Mr.
Legaspi asked. “Your dog bit me, sir!” I said. “Oh my. My dog is not yet away from rabies. His
schedule is supposed to be next week in the veterinarian.” Mr. Legaspi bothered. “Wait! Come
inside my house, I’ll give you first aid.” He added. Hurriedly, he accompanied me. Since he is a
licensed doctor, he knew how to apply first-aid. “I am going to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.”
Mr. Legaspi informed me. He cleaned my wound with soap and water for 15 consecutive minutes.
Then suddenly, “Mr. Legaspi! Mr. Legaspi!”, Mother cried out. “That’s my mother shouting.” I
said. Our neighbor went out to assist my parents. “What happened?!” Mother asked. “The dog bit
me when I was about to approach for the money that was about to be given to us.” I answered.
“We have to bring Seige in the Hospital for necessary measures.” Mr. Legaspi said. While we are
on our way to the hospital, Mother said, “Your father and I was worried about you. Very worried.”
“My apology mommy.” I answered with low-level of voice and sound of anguishness. Mother
hugged me tightly. I felt the warmth of love and anxiety within. After a few minutes, we arrived
in the Holy Child Hospital.

Because of the serious injury, I was admitted as an out-patient with Dr. Mendrez Ph. D. as my
prescribed doctor. After minutes of measuring the incidence and asking questions, Dr. Mendrez
Ph.D. said “We don’t need to wait for the symptoms because it could bring more damage in your
immune system. The virus has a strong affinity for cells of the nervous system. It enters nerve cells
at the site of the wound, travels to the brain, and then follows other nerve pathways to muscles and
organs that are especially affected by rabies. They usually appear approximately 20 to 50 days.
The first preventive measure is you need to clean your wound with soap and water everyday. I’m
going to give you vaccine shots for the rabies. I’ll set another appointment to check the
improvements.” “Thank you doctor.” I said. “I’m sorry Mrs. De la Cruz for the trouble I brought.”
Mr. Legaspi said to my mother. “I know it will be okay but you need to give some shots to your
dog to refrain this incident from happening again. I wish my daughter will be okay. I also need
your help.” Mother replied. “Yes, rest assured, approach me whenever you need help.” Mr. Legaspi
said. 20 days later, I suddenly lost my appetite, had fever, and always tired. “Let’s eat dear.
Tomorrow is your next appointment to Dr. Mendrez.” Mother said. “I am not hungry mother.” I
answered. The next day, we went to the hospital. “How was it going?” Dr. Mendrez asked. “She
wasn’t good at all. She had lost her appetite and complains because of headache and fever.” Mother
said. “Ahh, the symptoms seem to show off. Your incubation period apparently depends on both
the location of the wound; the farther from the brain, the longer the incubation; and the dose of
virus received. It only took 20 days or so. Just continue on taking the shots I gave you.” Dr.
Mendrez said. “What are the other symptoms?” Mother asked. “I am sorry to inform you that your
daughter may experience comatose in a few months, paralysis, cardiac arrest that may lead to
death. Don’t worry Mrs. She doesn’t know what to say or do. I have been observing mother for a
few days. I know what’s the problem. She was distressed by the statement my doctor told her.
“Mom? What’s wrong?” I confronted her. “It’s nothing my dear.” Mother said. “Mommy, I know
you are worrying about me, do not worry, God will help me. I know.” I said. “Yes. I know. I love
you.” Mother said. “I love you too Mother.” I answered. Those words were filled with sweetness
and it makes me feel very happy. After days of taking shots, I have been experiencing side effects,
I asked Dr. Mendrez and he said that I might really experience side effects such as stomach pain,
headache, chills which I am experiencing right now. “Doctor, I’m experiencing pain in my
stomach, headache, and chills.” I said. “Yes, they’re the side effects of the rabies shots prophylaxis.
But it doesn’t mean you’re going to stop taking these medications. These reactions usually can be
managed with antipyretics and anti-inflammatories. The vaccines are until the 28th day of
medication.” Dr. Mendrez said.

“You can survive very likely since you took medications before symptoms appear.” Dr. Mendrez
said. “Thank God.” Mother said. After dozens of prayer and voila! Guess what? I survived from
RABIES! I jumped out of my box and shouted. “Seige, I am happy to inform you that you were
treated from rabies but there’s more you are the FIRST PERSON TO SURVIVE FROM RABIES.”
Dr. Mendrez told my mother and I. “Woah? Oh my!” Mother said. Mommy’s face was very epic
and her smile shines like a star. I was very happy. After we went to the hospital, we went straight
to the Church to thank God. We are all very grateful. A day after, mother received a call from the
110.8 FM Health Radio. “Hello? Who is this? May I help you?” Mother said over the phone.
“Hello Mrs. De la Cruz, I am from the 110.8 FM Health Radio. I heard that you’re daughter was
the first person to survive from rabies and I want to invite her over for an interview. This would
be a great help to all our radio-listeners to be enlightened of the rabies virus.”, a representative
said. “Dear! Someone is inviting you for a radio interview. Would you accept the offer?” Mother
asked me. “Definitely mommy!” I said. “My daughter agreed and we are very honored.” Mother
said. “Oh thank you!”, the representative said. Weeks after, I went to the radio station for the
interview. “Let’s welcome our guest for today; she is the first person to survive from the rabies
vaccine, Ms. Seige de la Cruz.” The broadcaster said. “I’m going to ask you 2 short questions,
What did you feel when you had these virus?” “I was very worried and scared to the fact that you
might die with this kind of virus.” I said. “What can you recommend to our listeners to prevent
rabies?” the broadcaster said. “ To all pet owners, set an appt. in the vet for the vaccination of your
pets. And we should distance ourself from stray dogs.” I said. “Well thank you for accepting our
interview and for the information that you shared to all of us. I hope this will be a great help.” The
broadcaster said.

WHY MOMMY IS AWESOME?

"A mother's heart is genuine as a sweet soul. A mother is clunged always is another's heart. She is
one in a million behind the remorsed paths of everyone she loved". -Patricia Lanting <3

Mother's Day is celebrated annually worldwide. We give tribute to all our determined and sedulous
mothers. This is usually celebrated during the second Sunday of May.

Being a mother is one of the most toughest jobs. It is one of the highest salaried jobs, since the
payment is pure love. Hindi madali ang maging nanay, as I have seen from the experiences of my
mother. She had been through the humps of life. But, I felt that certain joy in her kapag kasama niya
kami. That is my mother.

Luz Lanting y Lajom. Last July 8, 2006, umalis siya ng Pilipinas. Way back then, I was still 8 or 9
years old. She promised me she'll go home on my older sister's birthday which is August 13. When
the days eventually passed, those promises were broken. It was very hard kasi malalayo ka sa
kanya for how many years. You don't know what is happening to her. I began sending her emails na
namimiss ko siya and I wish na okay siya diyan. The scenario was still ignited with me up to now.
While typing the emails, I remember myself hiding those shedded tears at pinupunasan ko pa ang
luha na pumatak sa keyboard. Haha! I don't want anyone seeing me cry. I know a lot of persons are
feeling the same way I felt. Ganito pala ang buhay kapag malayo ang isang mahal mo sa buhay. We
communicate everyday on Skype. And everytime I say goodbye, I assure myself to always say I love
you to my mommy.

I sometimes, overthink. Hindi mo alam kung may sakit siya. Walang mag-aalaga sa kanya. Mahirap
din ang buhay sa Amerika. I am very sure that she is working really that hard to sustain us our
needs. She can't go home, so we have to visit her for just weeks or so. Pero, it's still not enough.
Everytime we exchange our goodbyes, I can feel the sadness in the tone. Mahirap po talaga.
Everytime I see my friends with their family, lagi kong naalala si mommy.

My mother is the one who cut backs her commitments to give her 100% for her children. She is not
perfect. No one is, they commit mistakes.

Every night, I pray na sana okay lang si mommy doon, sana hindi siya magkasakit at safe siya lagi.

Last March 2, 2012-- My heart began to stumble. It was recess time in our school and suddenly,
Christine, my batchmate approached me to our hangouts in school.

Christine: "Chi, andito mommy and daddy mo."

Sabi ko: "Ako? Mommy ko? Nasa states mommy ko."
Christine: "Hindi, hindi, ako. Oo nga. Andyan!"

I felt very nervous. My heart was beating so fast.

And suddenly, out of the blue, I saw my daddy asking my classmates where am I. And *tadaaa* I
saw mommy. I was caught off guard. I walk towards her as I saw her opening her arms and getting
ready for a hug. On the time that I hugged her, I cried. Tears unexpectedly fell through my eyes. I
asked her: "Kelan ka lang po umuwi. Bakit ka po umuwi?" --Things like that.

Many saw what happened and they congratulated me and gave me a warm hug. Haha! And I was
too embarrassed when I some of my schoolmates are staring at us. Some of my friends also cried
because they know how I missed my mother so much. The scenario was still stuck. I began to ask
my classmates how did they knew she was my mother. They answered me, "Kamukha kasi ng ate
mo." I laughed. Haha! Some also commented, "Ang sweet ng mommy and daddy mo nung nakita
namin. Parang sabik na sabik sa isa't isa." Hahaha. Another is, "Yiee. Masaya na siya. Andyan na
mommy mo." "Ano feeling, Chi? Masaya ka naman?"--things like that. And I answered YES with a
sweet smile.

I was the happiest person.

I feel very blessed. I thank God everyday for giving me such wonderful parents.
 Hi Mommy,

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you for being a great mother. I appreciate all the efforts and sacrifices
you had made. It was all worth it. I'm very very happy that you are back now with us. I know that you
are happy with us now. I know it was very hard being so alone for the past 5 and a half years. Thank
you for standing always beside me with daddy. I know our family had surpassed along the critical
challenges, but atleast we never lose our grip to the faith and hope we manage to bring eveyday.
Dahil po sa gabay na binibigay niyo sakin ni Daddy, I was able to carry on with my own decisions.
Salamat po sa pagmamahal, suporta, at tulong na naibigay niyo sa amin. Thank you for preparing us
some snacks. Hehe! Thanks for all the cuddle. And sometimes making us laugh! Thank you for
giving me the courage and determination to continue on what I love to do. Thank you for bestowing
upon me the wisdom to manage all the differences in this world. Thank you for the trust you have
always given me. I love you very much mommy. I may not be a perfect daughter but I hope I brought
joy in your world. YOU'RE THE BEST MOTHER! Continue to be a great example for all of us.

My mother is the best from all. She is my teacher, bestfriend, cook, dancer, etc. She bestowed upon
me great values and realizations in life. You're unique. You're precious among the finest jewels.
Sorry If I sometimes failed to give your expectations. I will always be doing my very, very best to return
what you had given to us. You have proven to us that HAPPINESS WILL NEVER BUY WHAT YOU
WANT RIGHT NOW. You are my comforter and nurse. I know sometimes you feel down but all you
have to do is give it a try to smile and pray. Life is rollercoaster. You're always there at my ups and
downs. Even when I frown, you ought to give me laughter. I thank you for that. I love you more than
you ever know. I know this is not enough to give my tribute to you. But I hope my actions will give more
evidences. I love you Mommy!
