Escape

 

Pagod ka na ba?

First question that comes up in my mind while thinking about our situation today. 

"Yep nakakapagod."

 But we have to fight it out right? The situation today is different. 

"Nakaka stress, maraming ganap na at planong hindi natuloy. Mga kaibigan at ka work mo na lagi mong kasama at nakikita na ngayon ay hanggang "chat or video call nalang", minsan wala talagang paramdam. 

Mga tambayan at kainan kasama ang mga kaibigan na ngayon ay sarado na. Nakalulungkot diba??"

Of all this stressful event na hindi na natin nakasanayan but we are adopting now, we need some escape right??

Escape from "mabilis na mabagal na oras" 

Why?

Today we feel like our time while in quarantine is moving slowly slowly and slowly then suddenly yun na yon? Hala Ber months na, feeling ko March palang kahapon, like what?? Right?

Our mood is different now. Sometimes mapapaisip ka nalang, sarap sigurong sumama sa mga astronaut na aalis sa Earth noh tas panoorin mo sila mula sa space habang kumakain ng chicharon. Lol

We need escape in a way na hindi tayo totally aalis. What we need is break. 

Break from stressful effect of quarantine. And maybe hindi natin nakikita or napapansin na somewhat while you are reading this na bless at maswerte parin tayo lalo na sa panahon ngayon. Sharing some topic from podcast "The Linya linya show"  suddenly became my new habit while working at home as a podcast listener.  "Lockdown with Doc Gia Sison", : "celebrate small wins."

Specially sa panahon ngayon. Yung tipong nagising ka ngayong umaga, win na yon. 

Na achieve mo yung task mo. Win na yon.

Nakikita mo ang pamilya mo na healthy. Win na yon.

Nakakausap mo mga kaibigan mo. Win na yon.

Diba? 

Even though the process is step by step. Consider our small win towards our goal/s. Nakaka stress. Oo

But we have to deal with it. That is the part of the process, and that process is what makes us.

I remember a speech from my professor who passed away this year. 

"Don't be contented, keep striving, kase kapag kuntento ka na ibig-sabihin gusto mo na mamatay kase wala kanang gusto sa buhay mo, dapat continuous and pangarap mo"

Ika nga nya, dapat continuous ang pangarap mo. Keep on striving,  so don't let this pandemic be a hindrance towards your goal. If hindi man ngayon mangyayari na-delay lang yan, hindi ibig sabihin hindi na sya matutuloy. Keep going. 

I had a little conversation with my friend. Sabi nga nya "

"Yung delays, reroutes, detours na yan ay protection ng Lord from the unknown". 

Keep on striving. Kung sa ngayon talo ka. Hindi ibig-sabihin talo ka parin bukas. We have to achieve step by step, process by process. If you quit makukuntento ka ba? Considering the process , the effort, the time you dedicate for your goal? 

Keep going my friend. Have a little escape but don't quit. Someday we will celebrate for our Big wins!
