I prepare for each and every phone call to home these days. I know that once I hear a voice on the other line, I would then have to pretend that I am the rational and strong Kuya who can steer everyone to the right direction. Often, I find myself comforting my worried parents. Sometimes, I try to make them laugh. Always, I make sure that they feel that I am near even though I am not home.
I refuse to cry for I know things will get better in time. It has to. It needs to. It will. I have used and abused "this too shall pass.." as I recite it every time I feel that I am about to lose hope. Optimism can also be good, I think.
I have realized that through these trying times, when everyone gets strength from the Kuya, I get my strength in humor. I have to laugh to make sure I have the strength to make phone calls to home. When I cannot find humor in me, I turn to friends who can make me laugh. I love my friends for being the clowns that they are.
As I slip into bed tonight, I whisper a silent prayer yet again. I pray that we can all finally wake up from this bad dream and tomorrow is already Christmas.
8 stamps:
optimism, humor and faith will see you through t. will slip in a good word to the Big Man for you tonight as well. hope you don't mid the boost.
And may you find peace in the comfort of your dreams. Goodnight.

@jamie_da_vinci - karma up for you! ;)
@mugen - thanks! had a good night too. ;)
@Lawrence - ;) trying to. thanks for dropping by.
I can relate.
Sleeping helps but it is temporal.
I hope you find "your strength" soon, whoever he/she is. So that waking up from a good night sleep is much better knowing there's someone to hold on to. =)
@Mr. Scheez
I hope so. ;)
lahat ng bagay, may katapusan kasama yung mga problema at paghihirap natin

Like everything in this world, (all) bad things shall pass. (masyado na kasi cliche ang every cloud has a silver lining).
O kaya... Ang poopoo sa inodoro, mawawala din ang baho pag naiflush mo na (am I making any sense?). hehe sorry just trying to make you smile.
a smile - that's one ingredient for the "strenght" you were looking for. you found it in your friends. You're closer than you think.
A prayer - bloggers and friends have given them (as posted above), you're closer to being stronger (though you already are).
A talk - it helps getting demons out your system.
A kiss - errrr. di kita matutulungan dyan. hehe. joke.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. TC! I'll throw in a silent prayer for you as well. :)
