[I dedicate this month to Winter. Nothing would be possible if not for you Winter. WE will always have you in our hearts.] Hello to that quite exhilarating and wild ride that is March! I’d probably put in writing that it went as smoothly as I hoped it will, but it didn’t. So I won’t force it to be the best, nor was it the worst, so I prefer to call it rather “neutral”. As it was full of sunshine as previously written, I would hate to discuss in detail the “not-so” and “blah” moments. I remember details that were noteworthy of writing, but some need not be taken in a blog so I keep it at that. What I will forever remember are moments spent with people who have gone from strangers to caretakers of my soul; ghosts that are now effervescent beings; and those that are dearest to my heart. I’d say I was spoiled rotten by these people who’d feed me breakfast when they need not to, who’d adopt me during nights when I do not want to go home, surprise me when the rest are busy, and share in my moments of dread- taking care of not just me, but also of those creatures dear to me. Thank YOU. And YOU. And most specially YOU. And all the YOU’s of my life this month. Another thing to take note of is this month’s “enabler” mode. I realise how empowering it is that I am surrounded by those that are successful in the different careers we have all pursued (and I have seriously immersed in—with all the trips i enjoined just so I can get out of my PhD life. The spa sesh, golf trips [for some new sport and the club lunches last Feb], nights at Bgc and Poblacion, tv marathons, and everything else). Although this year was quite a 360 (not my camera. Haha), I realise all the dreams I have in my head are indeed plausible and POSSIBLE. One circumstance brought forward is that of a good friend of mine who have actually gone to fulfilling that life- a personal home, a vehicle to bring the pets anywhere and rehome them, and a well-balanced and controlled work space and time. In that reality that my dream life is indeed possible in this lifetime is already something I look forward to. And that, in its very essence, enabled me to finally go back to my plan with these people who won’t let go of me and my big dreams. Because something more concrete than what’s in my head for years is POSSIBLE. I JUST NEED TO BELIEVE IN IT. Probably the biggest impact this month are the brief encounters and sudden changes- the sunshine and the rain. I will never forget this month to its core. Indeed, the same March I always look forward to every year. It will never be uneventful. It has always been a month of new discoveries (sometimes shocking too). And I’m back to my favorite “task” everyday- a proper “podcast” session. Still my favourite random “task” since college (eversince my parents gifted me my pink Ipod one random day when they realised my need to have one while drafting my plates. The warmth of their surprises alongside my hot pink flip phone because any pink gadget sparks joy) Aren’t we as gleeful in all the ideas flowing in our ears through those stories and new discoveries (about life and everything else related thereof). I also adopted Jean Grey this month. I’ll put that in writing because although she was the least lovable from the set (just because she isn’t as pretty as the two other cutie pies), she has been a sweet dog like Bargie. She is also the smartest and probably the clingiest. Her mom gave her all the love, after seeing her almost dying in one of the city’s busy roads and I do hope she’ll feel the same love she was given by her mom in our home, as her mom explores another part of the planet FOR THEIR FUTURE. Hahaha! [Random note: On days when I feel the cold, and that shocking reality happen almost everyday, you’re there. Remember that. And I will. All the thank you insert here.] [and I never met anyone as passionate to Star Wars to own this hugeeee Millenium Falcon on the foreground. But it isn’t about the MF nor that hooman but they were instrumental for March and what-have-we-here. On my nth day of almost zero-sleep, I finally did randomly, infront of the MF. March was the month when I needed that shut eye and this photo is GOLD, in blurred levels, and again not because of the hugeeee Millenium Falcon (that I can’t even bring to my faculty room for the reason that IT MUST BE GOLD). You know why this is GOLD if you know me well. Thank you for this picture.❤️]
