Sinulog 07

My Sinulog Day was so fun! For me, it was the best sinulog I ever experienced. I never thought that I could enjoy that day because I thought it was like the same sinulog I experienced last year. This sinulog was full of excitement and of course, fun. I saw many faces watching in the streets of Maxilom, down to the Fuente Osmena. There were many people dancing in the streets with their costumes. They had many props for their dance. Then, my sister and I went at the park at the back of the Colegio de Immaculada Concepcion to look for my elder brother. But we did not see them, so, we went back to the streets to watch the Sinulog, although we were very hungry. But later, we saw them and we were treated for lunch. It was so hot because it was noon, and I saw the dancers squatting and their faces were looked like beggars. Then we saw familiar faces and the people started to scream like there was a fire. They were the actors and actresses we usually saw on TV. I also went near to their float because like them, I admired actors and actresses. We went to my brother's multicab and we rested there for an hour. After that, we watched the street dancing again until it ended. We also watched the fireworks display in Ayala. It was so beautiful. It was the best fireworks display I ever saw in my entire life. That day also was the best Sinulog Day I ever had.

A Revelation

Why are they so mean to me? Why can't I choose my own happiness? Why can't I be happy? These are some questions which keep on my mind until now. Okay, let me get this straight. I was upset because my aunts even my mother don't want me to take up a course in college which I really like. They want me to take up Nursing. They knew that I am really not interested to that course. But I have no choice, so, to satisfy them, I took an entrance exam at the Cebu Normal University to study Nursing there. I got pressured because they expected me to that test. Actually, I was not expecting to pass that test. But after a month, I got a call from that university and it said that I passed the examination and have to go there for the interview. At first, I did not believe the caller, but thinking that maybe he was joking. But later, I thought, maybe the caller was saying the truth and I did really pass the test. But then, I realized that it is not for me, but for them. I tried to open up this topic to them, but it seemed that they don't want to hear any answers from me except to pursue this course.
After a few days, I got a news from our classmate that we could now see the UPCAT Results. I rushed to the internet cafe and searched the website. I saw my name on the list of names who qualify and I was so happy, that I was really excited to tell this big news to them. But when I got home and told this news, instead of congratulating me, they scolded me for not preparing for my upcoming interview in CNU. It hurt me a lot. They don't even care about my feelings. But I have to obey them because I believe that they know what is best for me. Afterall, they are the ones who support me in my studies.
