To my 2018.
The rain didn’t stop. But I know, it will. The evening drives were amazingly lit. But I know, it could have been better. The whirlwindy week was unexpected. But I know, we can survive it. Thank you for the sunsets and the sunrise. and the northern lights [haha]. 2019. Soon. The usual daily’s altered randomly to include an EAST-NORTH-SOUTH travel [and how do I add a WEST route? DO I GO TO MANILA AND SAY I’VE DRIVEN TO THE WEST? haha]. I’ve been driving a lot lately, but I’d really hope to publicly post about being grateful to those who drove my car for me on random days that I float. Because PhD and the Holiday season does not match AT ALL. So on days that I drive and have no idea how I reach places unimaginable on 5-6 cups of coffee [sorry to my ENT doctora friend who prolly know by now why I’ve been getting sick if she finds out about THIS and my addiction to Chili Garlic. HAHA!], or on days that I drive past midnight trying to keep myself awake when the GPS tells you that you’ll be riding with the killer trucks of Marcos Highway (and that you’ll be driving with hot headed drivers who love to race with you), on days when you want to drown yourself with alcohol but you need to drive so hmmm, or on days that you just need to pull yourself to places when you’re hitting a relapse, “He” gave me people to say yes to my random, I’ll drive to there but CAN YOU DRIVE FOR ME TOMORROW? haha. We should all recognise the extent of our capacity to drive SAFELY. Because there are down days and we should recognise that. BUT, earlier this week, I got days full of love and surprises from people. A surprise breakfast-to-go [breakfast=the meal I dread to face daily lately] when I realised I left MY LIFE (kidding, my planner) at that house and I need it badly so I asked to just drop by for awhile before I go to work; instead this and MAGKAPE KA KASI MUNA 2 mins lang. OK FINE. 2 turned 20 HAHA. [KAININ MO BREAKFAST MO CATHE! Reminder is cray] #stubborn The crazy thing about all these images does not revolve around the tangible artefacts you see in the form of all material things in this world; but that the intangible values of each image recognises a lot of happy memories spent with people who know my weaknesses and have chosen to take care of me [and my soul] during days when I rot and became too selfless and “MAGASTOS” for nothing [to quote them there].
And, probably the BEST part has been my realisation that I shouldn’t change who I am and what I am bound to be. Because my friends, old and new, will always be there for me no matter what storm or season there is. Happy holidays are coming and I am claiming it. Leaving all the devils of the past behind. I will constantly pray that the devils go away. Special shout-out to my **TOT family for all the happy days. I’ve never found crazier kids than you, gals. 2018 was a happy year. And I need to recognise that before it ends. The daily grind.
The laughter. The tears. You’ve been a refuge, Cavite. I’ll code that as LCU-CAV-0001. #PhDLife #PhDChallenge and for this month.
The travel, is a jump. |
