A post-semestral break musing...

"I like my choices, I hope she likes hers." 

 (Augustus Waters in John Green's The Fault in Our Stars)

Well, this is the time when we will go home and leave behind a colorful world to face our own Tabor: the mount of the experience of God.

We will leave behind our memories, our stories and our joys and sorrows, our business, as we go back to the nitty-gritty of community life and of being formed in the intense fire of God's love.

We will leave regular posting for a while and only post every Saturday, which leaves us quite uneasy about the beautiful start of this blog: we kinda have a short and heavy pause on our happy musings.

I posted the quote above which is really an expression of what I feel especially for the people who made me extremely happy during this three-week "heaven" called a semestral break. During this break, I experienced a lot which probably made a mark on my heart. I like my choices in this break, whether bad or good, and I hope people like the choices they made, which made me either happy or sad.

Before I finally finish packing up and go back to familiar waters, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for the people that made this break too memorable for a dry and "inanimate" person like me.

Thanks to my family, especially to our aunt (who moved in just recently), for being too understanding and supportive of my decisions and work. I know it is hard for you to see me only during breakfast and dinner just because I spent it with different kinds of people and while doing other activities... Sorry if I had hurt you,

Thanks to our parochial community, to our beloved Cures, and to my fellow seminarians for giving me a heavy schedule during the break. I am happy that I exercised what I am supposed to be, at the time where I am supposed to be. (By the way, thanks so much for treating me to Vikings and for coming to my birthday.)

Thanks to the various people I talked with, spent time with, worked with and enjoyed time with. Thank you for being good companions, close friends and best buddies even if we do not know each other that well.

And of note here is a beloved friend.... I hope you're happy with your decisions to move on... Fly free, dear, like the birds and the bees, and in freedom you will see what it is to love deeply again. Enjoy muna ang ating mga moments na tayo ay bata pa, do enjoy it... And I thank you for being a companion in my own journey of moving on.... and discovering myself.... Stay beautiful ha... and when we'll be back, ice cream awaits all of us!

Thanks to my beloved laptop and phone which kept me company in lonely moments, and for the tons of novels I read... (Thank you also to the people who passed them along for me to read).

And to others, named and unnamed, thank you very much! Indeed, the world is too colorful, and all I just experienced was just a single page in a beautiful book called the world... (taking from St. Augustine)...

One month isn't that long, and I hope to be a good companion to all of you the next time around. God has been so good in sending all of you to me and me to all of you... All of you strengthened me and in some way made me listen to the various stories of a beautiful web called life.

"Laters, babies!" 

Hahahahahaahahaha... Fifty shades isn't too bad for us though!
