"Tastas"
Too many mistakes in one day. "Tastas" *deep sigh* I cringe that word.
It's like I went to Slim's para magtastas. That is every student's nightmare. Not only it damages the fabric, it is time consuming. :(
And, a lot more mistakes happened next.
Even my teacher told me I seemed lost. And she said it multiple times. *deep sigh*
I do not want to be too hard on myself but I have realized that I need to focus and "review." Grabe nanlamig ako, one on one sermon. But it's fine. It's a wake up call. :)

Green Road
I love this area. Whenever we're passing this road (the one near St. Paul) it just makes me feel good. Trees here are so beautiful and alive.
I hope people stop cutting these trees.
I hope people stop cutting these trees.
L'indochine... guilty pleasure
I love L'indochine, from the merchandising to the colors to its unique Asian products. This shop must be my guilty pleasure. I never leave this shop empty-handed.

Obey
Obedience is love, fulfilling every command, love expressing itself. Obedience, therefore, is not a hard demand made upon us. Love delights to obey, and please whom it loves. There are no hardships in love. There may be exactions, but no irk. There are no impossible tasks for love.
With what simplicity and in what a matter-of-fact way does the Apostle John say: "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in His sight."
This is obedience, running ahead of all and every command. It is love, obeying by anticipation. God's commands are not grievous. Their ways are ways of pleasantness, and their paths peace. The task which falls to obedience is not a hard one. "For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

Reigniting the passion
I had been confused when suddenly I felt I didn't want this anymore. Baka natatagalan lang ako. When I started in 2013, I thought it would only take a year for the three modules but it has required more time than that. I have learned that it also requires commitment and enthusiasm (all the time).
I was losing those. So, I took a two-month break to look for a day job and to think (the night schedule was driving me crazy and making me cranky). I was even thinking of putting fashion school aside. I was so focused and in a snap, hindi na. What happened?
I tried to look for a job, but no luck. So I prayed for guidance and realizations that God may lead me to the right path and decision. If the job I applied to would only make everything worse, then please don't give it to me. The response was quick. After a couple of days, I have realized that I didn't want to leave. Not yet. A firm not yet. In fact, my job right now is the job that I need. I have forgotten that this job was His gift to me four years ago. A friend and my sister also told me to take it one at a time. For the first time, I listened. I also have tried to forget I work in the night shift. The attitude shift has done wonder to my disposition and ... sleep.
So I enrolled. I am in my third year now. Today was my first day. But I guess after today's class, my motivation went from zero to two <10 being the highest>. I still have 12 months to bring it back to a ten. And yes! I will be joining this year's exhibit. I hope to make it again. :)
