I want to write.

Yeah. And really, what’s stopping me? I write already, all the time. I just have to write more seriously. I mean, about things that matter and things that will help people.

I’ve been writing for myself for forever, and I know I can do more than that. I think I’m just scared to. It’s time to put my fears aside though, and work for something bigger. Because I can see bigger things ahead and I really have to start running after them.

I was thinking about the stuff I’ve written for Dev-O, and the other random things I keep to myself, and the thing is, I CAN write. I have the potential to be good at it, I just have to keep writing without being scared. And I have to stop being scared now.

The Weekend.

Our internet at home is busted, so I haven’t gone online in two days. I’m using Nest’s internet, which is also acting up, but still working, which is awesome.

So the UPCAT results came out last Saturday, and Hannah was the one who informed me again. XD I couldn’t check it myself since the internet was busted, so I asked her to check for me, and guess what? I wasn’t admitted. Haha. I used to say I didn’t pass, but my mom thinks I passed and they just don’t want to accept me because I’m home schooled and they’re biased like that. Well. Their loss. Ateneo, here I come~~ =D

Truthfully, after the ACET results came out, I didn’t care much about whether UP accepts me or not. (Right Hannah? Hahahaha.)

So yeah, Yanskeedoodle is a blue eagle. Yay!

I also had my Nihongo final on Saturday. It was a bit sad, because it was our last day as a class. A lot of us are planning to skip Elementary 4 and Intermediate 1 classes because we already reviewed them for the JLPT, and it would save a lot of money to go straight to Intermediate 2. We also won’t have the same teacher when we enroll again.

Anyway, I wasn’t confident about the finals, because I didn’t study at all, but by some miracle I managed to pass. We all passed! It’s great.

After the test, I had lunch at Yamazaki(?) with Ann-san, Pola-san, Kichi-san, Nicole-san, and Anson-san, who treated us. We talked about starting an Elem4/Intermediate1 study group since a lot of us plan to study those on our own, and that’s exciting. I hope it pulls through; I will miss my classmates.

I went home after lunch, and then got ready for Ate Nadja’s wedding, which was that evening at The Blue Leaf. I rode with Dani and Tita Dongdong, and we got there in time to hear Ate Nadja’s vows. It was a really cute wedding~ Their theme was coffee, and they had a Starbucks booth and everything. Ate Nadja and Kuya Chuck were cute. And Nicole was pretty, and I loved her hair. So yeah, that was fun. I photo boothed with Dani, Nicole, Kuya Martin, and Kuya Mike.

Sunday was chaotic. I taught Sunday School with Bianca and Hannah. I don’t know why, but whenever Bianca and I teach, it’s either we have absolutely no students, or we have so many we barely fit in the room. Yesterday, we had fifteen kids. I am seriously thankful Hannah decided to help out because otherwise, we would have died. XD It was fun though, because the kids were more responsive than usual. Just a bit hyper, but I guess that made it fun. I missed teaching, and my first class for this year will not be forgotten. Hahaha.

Oh, Yay. Ateneo.

I was in my Japanese class this morning, and I got this insanely excited text message from Hannah asking me, “DID YOU SEE NA?!” referring to the ACET results, which came out today. So that got me excited and I started bugging her to tell me how we did, but she wouldn’t say. Then my mom calls me, and she was pretty much screaming into the phone: “YOU PASSED!!!!!”

Ohhhhh, yay. I am relieved, I can breathe easy now. I was worried the whole week because or ACET and UPCAT results.

Hallelujah and amen. I have a school already.

So be quiet now, and wait.

I just noticed how I can never seem to do that. To wait. I’ve been thinking and thinking about whether I’m doing the right things and worrying about what will happen, when I really just have to let go and believe that God will get me through this. I don’t have to think about how this will turn out, because He knows what He’s doing and I just have to learn to trust Him. And be quiet and WAIT.
