It's been a month since I last updated my blog. Many things are keeping me busy this semester.
Month of July is so memorable and meaningful. A lot of things happened and are continuously happening. I can say that I am growing into an independent woman one way or another and it's better for I'm turning 20 (read as TWENTEEN) after 4 days.
Our housemaid is no longer working at home due to some hush-hush reasons but a new maid will come next week. Hence, Uncle June (my guardian) and I are living unassisted for more than a week. We are both doing some of the household chores. There is one woman who visits every Sunday to do the washing of clothes. My uncle cooks and I wash the dishes. I also sweep the floor and organize furniture. Honestly, I have one worry. I fear that my hands will be annoyingly rough. I don't mean to be "maarte" nor be indolent. In fact, I enjoy cleaning and love to learn doing house jobs for I will be using this experience in the future. It's just that my parents and I have been taking caring of my soft hands and so I wanna maintain it. Who doesn't want soft hands, right? :) Before, our housemaid was the one who woke me up. I couldn't get off my bed unless someone would force me. But hey! Now I can jump off my bed on time. I set my alarm clock before I sleep. I am improving, ain't I? :D
As I go through this, I feel that I am ready to live on my own, not being away from my family whom I love so much. I mean I'll be working after college to earn a living. There is no assurance if I will work in Riyadh and live under the same roof with them. I might work here in the Philippines or in other places. Therefore, I'll be doing things by myself. However, there are two tough things which I really need to learn and master. Cooking and washing clothes. Effort is very much necessary to accomplish this. Hahaha...
Loads of school works are in my hands right now; 2 undergraduate researches, requirements for AdBest, documentary competition, and other school stuff. I must accomplish these in 5 months. This is my last year in college and so I'm really doing my best no matter how brain-squeezing it is. :)
Hardships are attached with blessings. (well, hardship itself is a blessing.) Yes, I maybe suffering from too much school pressure but there are things that give me relief. Like, the documentary we produced last semester was chosen by Centro Escolar University to join the International Center for Communication Studies. ICCS is one of the biggest organization for future practitioners of the communication profession. The org will choose 3 from many documentaries made by different universities and those 3 will be competing in Hongkong on November. Win or lose, still a blessing! And of course, people around me who never leave me. They take all the hard knocks away from me and help me get through with this. :)
