may isang bata na sobrang awang awa na sa sarili nya. sa sobrang gutom at hirap, naisipan nyang umakyat ng puno at kainin na lang ang mga berdeng dahon nito. umiiyak at nagse-self pity sya habang kinakain ang mga dahon nang may narinig syang kaluskos sa ilalim ng puno. noong tiningnan nya, nakita nya ang isang batang lumpo na kinakain ang mga tuyong dahon sa lupa.

last night, my friend jaycob called me up and told me this story. he even advised me to go to church. i replied, "ba't mo naman nasabi na hindi ako nagsisimba?" he said that if i were, i would see things in a different light. he also told me that i had to continue for people around me. i said, "sa tingin mo i'm doing this for them? i'm doing this for myself. and besides, sabi ng mommy ko i can take a timeout and organize myself." he said any parent would say those things and my mom was just trying to be a parent. he said even if i'm doing it for myself, the people around me can't help but think that they are also part of it.
he's not a lawyer or a law student, but i think he can be a good one.
Jaycob gave you an enlightening perspective. No matter how much you say you are doing this for yourself. I still feel that you are doing it for dad, mom, ching-ching, gigi, apple, kris and me. for us, who have no drive, motivation, time, interest, dream and opportunity to do it. Do not lose focus on what is more important. It is the journey, the things you learn along the way. Keep on pushing. Promise me not to lose that dream and I promise you every night I'll double my efforts to pray for you to finish what you have been dreaming for so long. Believe. Loveyah!
