Today, I left the house in my hometown to go to the hospital in the city to donate blood for my roommate's mother who was to undergo an operation today for her tumor that originated in her fallopian tube. The tumor began its growth since February. It was only since two days ago that she had been admitted to the hospital. My roommate had told me before about her mother but I did not realize how worse it was until I saw her mom today bedridden. Tita In-in (Aunt In-in/  the way I call her mother) was covered in blanket. But I could clearly see the changes in her. She looked like a skeleton because of what had become to her skin-- it was very thin and there formed a depression (concave) on her cheeks. I would always recall my roommate's mother as someone on alert for whatever profit she can gain for her business and family. She reminds me of an eagle-- having a wide overview and keen sense of what's down there for merit. But her warmth to those people she loves is like...

Last night I wrote a diary entitled #4 Overthinking as a Bad Habit and the Letter to the Greek Guy. But I decide not to publish it. Why? Overthinking again. Lol I wish someone out there would tell me SHOW IT TO ME!!! Anyway, will write about something else.  Today, I will go back to my hometown after I meet a guy friend and give him the personal letter and a present for his graduation. :-) Before all those, let me write the following:  From the moment that you wake up from sleep, what is the first thing that comes up in your mind? Do you think of what you want to do for the rest of the day? For the rest of year? For the rest of your life? Your dream? For me, I don't have what you call as "dream." Because dream means to want something very much that you plan for it in a very detailed manner and making sure there are no loose ends, right? Mine is just fantasy which I just forget sometimes. But you know when I fantasize it, my brain becomes very active.  ...

I went back to the city with the intent to enroll classes this summer only to realize that the classes I'm going to take up are not available. So it means I won't be taking summer class (April-July)! But I still have to comply with the last requirement for Curriculum Development class which I took up in the previous year (I did not submit my work on time and never finished it because of the "psychological distance" and tension I had with my teacher [I don't want to call her professor because she doesn't act like one]) and because of it I got INC (incomplete) for my grade. I only have to take 4 classes (August-December) left and a practicum (January-May), and once I finish them, I will graduate!!! But that's not the end yet for I still have to search work! I want to earn big money! I want to travel and visit friends. So during summer, I don't have any class and I don't want to do nothing. Should I work? A friend of mine who's working in the...

My vacation from school is almost over. What did I do during vacation? - 3/25/18 Went to Biasong (a very rural area) to get coconuts and eat with my cousins at Tita Madel's (my aunt) place in celebration of my cousin's birthday (he is 10 years old). - 3/26/18 I ate at a Chinese restaurant called Majestic in Ayala with a Japanese friend and I saw him off at the airport and in the evening I went out with my Korean friend at Coffee Bean cafe (At this time, was feeling homesick that she said I needed to go to a doctor and tell my family about my depression). - 3/27/18 Bought 3 books: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and Metamorphosis - 3/28/18 Went to Sing2x (the Barangay where my mother is assigned to vaccinate children on this day) with my mother and met my baby cousins: Lian and Liam. - 3/29/18 Went to Talisay to swim in the sea. My youngest brother (he is special child) and I swam while mom just watched over us. Suffered pinches from him (youngest bro...

Hi! My name is Freya. I'm 20 years old college student. I'm taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education- English. Hopefully, this blog will help me improve my communication skills as friends and acquaintances from around the world share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through comments in this blog. It will be good to exchange comments and for culture exchange. An honest comment would be surely appreciated. :-) I usually write on my diary (notebook); but I think that it would be better if somebody else is able to read it because, after all, knowledge is nothing if it isn't shared with someone else.
