July 14, Saturday
It was calm and senseless Saturday and I have no work which was a good thing. I woke up crying to my disbelief. How could the job I love and worked for damn so hard to get vanishes away as easy as that? This made me feel terribly down in the dumps. I can bravely let go but I can't say goodbye just yet. I could hardly sleep because of this bane in my life.
I tried to find myself before it get lost and gain some strength. The very sad me still managed to go to school and act as if nothing awful occurred yesterday. That is something I am proud of myself. Whatever comes in my life, be it pain, happiness or whatever, I'm still complete after breaking the back of the beast.
How did it all start?
It was early afternoon when I received a text message which I presumed a text blast. It came from Thea. In that instant, I knew it could happen to me. So I called up my dad and mom to tell them the sad news. After the HR talked to me around 8pm, I immediately informed the people closest to me. All of us have not recovered yet from Thea's when I showed them the letter which made them all torn up the second time.
For a moment I felt relief knowing that after almost 6 years of working, I can take a break. But when it hits me that I still owe the school almost P20,000 for my tuition and that I need to support my family back in the province, it alarmed me. My dad told me I need to concentrate on my studies now and that I don't need to think of them. "Kawawa ka naman anak" dad said. No! I am not kawawa. I don't want it either to be a stay-at-home-student. I prefer to be working student since anyway, I'm used to work-school-house way of life. I wanted to make the most of my life, help my parents in every way I can and there's no way I will stop working just to focus on my studies. I mean I can do both and I am doing good.
I need to think harder and craft an intensive plans. I am living within my budget and I guess this is the most difficult to handle above anything else.

Grabe ngayon ko lang nalaman to sis. I am so sad to hear about this. On the contrary, I am glad to know that you are such a positive person. :) And same here, hindi rin ako naniniwala sa friday the 13th na yan.
I can somehow relate to this thing, way back 2010, nawalan din si papa ng work. Parang everything falls down. Dahil don' we have to move in an apartment na mas mura, mag sobrang tipid at dun dumating yung time na pinushed talaga ako ni papa na magtrabaho.
Hopefully, okay na ulit kami ngayon. Nakapagabroad na ulit si papa thou mag 1 month palang kaya mejo gipit pa. Pero cheer up sis! I know you are a strong person :)
Salamat sis. Ok lang nmn tlga sakin ang nangyari pero mahirap lang magpaalam sa mga katrabaho mo na nakasama mo ng almost 5 years. Today is my 11th day ng pagrerender. I'm happy cause I landed a part time job as freelance writer. Sabi nga, nagdara man ang pinto, magbubukas nmn ang bintana. Like what happen to your dad! Galing. Ganun lang nmn tlga life right? Full of surprises and excitement. Good luck sa mgs career natin. We're still young! Enjoy life ika nga. Yun lang, bawas shopping expenses muna.hahaha
Oo tama. Ang tagal mo na pala dun. Tignan mo may blessing kaagad. Freelance writer ka na! That's good. Oo nga, thank you! Ako din e, higpit sinturon muna. Ingat sis.
