A Classic School Turmoil

Mr. Rembojo: Many students are leaving GCIC nowadays. How sure are you that you're not going to leave GCIC?

Allan: Well, I'm not really a connoisseur, but I guess those students cannot really cope up with the studies here; maybe their incompetence do not match on this school's academic level. Another reason is that the tuition here increases every semester. However, I am 100% sure that I'm going to finish my studies here at GCIC because I'm the type of person who finishes something once he started it.

Mr. Rembojo: Okay, thank you... Mr. Mananquil?

-An excerpt from the Oral Revalida

Everyone becomes nostalgic once you lose something that was beside you every single day. Change isn't that always good, you see, there are instances in your life that don't need it. If people need a new setting of their lives, then maybe something bad happened to them or they just don't like their life's story now. People need change to get away from tribulation, because they aren't happy anymore.

CHANGE=CHANCE

However, we can't always get what we want. Although we can prevent change coming into our lives, let's just say we CAN'T always prevent it from coming. Sometimes you just have no choice but to let it control you, & the belief of having another hope that everything's gonna get better soon is the only benefit that you would acquire from all of it. The rest would just be plain, pure luck.

It may sound corny at first, but albeit the not-so-impressive-management of my school, you would reconsider them as part of your family already... with money attached actually. But seriously, you spend more time in school than in your house, it's actually normal to believe it's part of your sanctuary already. But what if one moment life just got hostile & let you choose one option that you can't refuse anymore- leaving school for another? It's like cheating in some kind of way.

CHANGE≠CHOICE

I'm in the state of discomposure, & if you still reconsider ambivalence in this certain kind of change, the one that you would want to win is not being happy about this change, although the one that opposes better would- not having any choice but to be happy about this change.

"I could even file tons of make-up duty & still be happy about it."

Try to enjoy the rest of the day while you can. I'm not negating you or anything. I'm just likely on an emotional tailspin right now. Like the story in Pushing Daisies always try to tell me- anything can happen in just one minute. God bless & tc everyone!

Signing off, A! :)
