One Step at a Time

    July 24 10:45 PM, my friend from college texted telling me to listen to the radio, BOMBO RADIO because the DJ / announcer is enumerating the names of June 08 NLE Top 10 students. I thought it was just a prank or a joke again because in the past few days I’m always hearing dates on when the results will come out and I always end up disappointed. But then, It came to my mind that maybe this friend of mine is not joking at all, so I hurriedly opened the internet and typed the url of a website my friend gave me. To my surprise, the result of our examination was really there, so I downloaded it (pdf file).

     I told my sister to call mom because the result is already here, she hurriedly came while saying "te? ara na? abe lantawon ta!". As I scroll down the page I felt cold and my throat was dry, hehe. My mom said "O, ga palanugnaw na si Jingle o, hahaha! Abi ako nalang pa scrolla da." my sister being so excited said "sa letter D nalang bala daun ma." So she did, then she said "o… wala!" I felt the world crashing down on me … my sister said "padaluma bala ma, ara o! Dequiña, Cesary Jo!" We focused our eyes on the screen and looking at each other we suddenly hoorayed and hugged each other. hahaha! Dad suddenly came out of the room and joined us in our happiness.

    The feeling is very good. Passing the NLE is not a joke, it takes courage, will and determination. I know my friends will make it, every night I’m praying for it.

    The next step, is to apply for volunteer duty. Yes!

    GOD BLESS to us all and take care!

In a trance ..

    After graduation, I felt sad .. as if I thought the world will end. Days go by and I miss my friends so much. When I entered the N.G. for a review program I found new friends, It took a while before I got calm in getting along with them but it was worth it. We hand-in-hand traverse the sea of books and notes until we arrived in the day that we all waited and prepared for. We took the exam, and every after each test we tried to keep quiet because that’s what we agreed the night before, but we can’t .. we shared to one another our answers. As expected there’s some differences in some of our answers, I admit, I felt bad that time .. I just prayed to GOD.
    After the long awaited exam, the boat that we got on arrived at the pier, saddened and a bit frustrated, we bid our goodbye to one another hoping that we will see each other again on the oath taking day .. When I saw mom and dad I was filled with mixed emotions, I just hugged them so tight and still crying I said "hidlaw ko sinyo bah!".
    Days go by and the internet is our only connection to one another (friends)(wala load eh, hehe).
    About my friendster profile, see the words "boom.boom"? It represent my friend from college .. and I kinda like the style too, it \m/s!
    I was hoping I could get a job to somehow help in the expenses here in our home, but mom and dad said there’s no need for me to work, so here I am, in our home, doing the things I don’t do before like, baby sitting to my cousin, cleaning the home, washing the dishes. Yep! but I don’t mind or have a grudge or something like that, it’s MY HOME we’re talking here ..
    I heard that the result of our exam will come out this July, and the oath taking will be on August. I’m praying really hard LORD, I believe ..
    Well, thanks for reading the updates of my life! GOD BLESS and take care!
