Last Sunday, I became part of history. I became among the many thousands of hopefuls to enter one of the most prestigious universities in the Philippines - the University of the Philippines. It was time to take the entrance exam.
I was honestly very nervous last Saturday (I was quiet for almost the whole day thinking that nothing was about to happen the following day). Good thing, my mother was there to support me. Last night, we prayed together, opening our hearts to accept whatever the results will be. Although it's really our hearts desire to pass all the examinations I'm going to take, but God might have plans otherwise. When we finished, tears just flowed down my cheeks. I was afraid of the outcome. I was afraid to get hurt again. In the same time, I was touched and happy on how supportive my whole family is. My dad even called me last night just to tell me to do my best and he's always there for me. I was also touched when my mom told me that a lot of people were praying for me (thank you, by the way). I've never thought that a lot of people cared for me! ^_^
The following day (August 5), I woke up feeling nothing but relaxed. It was like another ordinary day for me. We arrived early at the venue, knowing how heavy the traffic will be if we arrived a little later. The funny thing was my mom was more excited than I am! Hahaha. When the test began in a few minutes, I was surprise to find myself that I am relaxed until now! It feels like I was leaning on God's shoulder telling me that everything will be alright. Wow! God is really amazing, isn't he? I remember what my mom said the previous night: "God allows us to be nervous because He wants us to learn how to depend on Him". Among life's lessons, this is one that I'll never forget. Whatever the result may be, I will stay strong for it is according to God's will. ^_^
PS: I want to thank everybody who have prayed and supported me. It really meant a lot to me.
Next up, the ACET on September 16. ^_^

life's sweetness..
The sound that sting one's ears, the smell of damp paper left outside to humidify and dehydrate, the unconscious minds and treacherous hearts were all but a part of the melodrama.
