Hi! I’m back. I’ve been gone for almost a month now and a lot of things had happened. First thing is my grandfather who passed away (thank you to those who commented and said that his version of the Swan Song was great). After that, we’ve had a rough road in the family… My sister had an accident I think that was the week after his burial.. The wheel of a truck suddenly slipped out of the truck itself and crashed into my sister’s car. Luckily she was not hurt or anything. Not even the wind shield was touched. So, yeah… Lolo (my grandfather) had been watching over us.

BTW, I edited the Swan Song. I had a few errors upon trying to read my lolo’s handwriting… I just fixed it before typing this entry.

After that, our van came next. It had been showing its defects since last year but they couldn’t see the problem here so my dad had to bring it to the city to have it fixed. And it was. And then just today when my dad was to get the van from Chrysler, our Honda Accord 1996 edition was again in an accident. Someone hit them at the bumper at the back while they were on their way to our condo. Luckily, again, everyone is safe.

So much had happened the past month… Heartbreaking, and also pocket breaking (monetary issues) since everything goes out and only a bit comes in… But, I guess it’s okay… It’s not like this happens every month for every year. Maybe everything just fell into place at the same time…

Enough with the sad things. I’ve been job hunting since June and only this week had I been called by 4 companies already (including the one that just called me today). Yesterday I had 3 job interviews and I will have another one on Friday. I’m not sure on where to go. Lol. I also have another offer coming from the US but this offer will be home based… I’m not yet sure if I can take on that offer because I don’t work as well as much as I would if I knew someone is watching over me. So, yeah… I’m still giving it a thought though. It is an opportunity for me… A step to the US I guess.

Give me your thoughts about the US offer.

The Swan Song was written by my grandfather (may he rest in peace) and I would like to share this song (I’m not really sure if it’s a poem or a song) to you guys… He wrote this years and years ago (maybe during the 1940’s) and I just tried to decipher it a few minutes ago with my dad which gave me a terrible headache..

When I have crossed the bar my dear
Shed no sad tears for me
Just let me lie where you are near
Then sweet my trip will be

Goodbye then no more I can tell;
My life is ebbing thus:
Just share me prayers so farewell
My dear fellows, adieu

He’s been saying farewell to the world for the last how many years through this song… While I was typing it, I cannot help but shed tears. I will truly miss my grandfather…. Even though for the last few months of his lift he couldn’t even remember my name, and not to mention who I was… But I don’t care. I love him no less. He had always been my birthday-buddy since we only had a day separating our birthdays… And he was the very first one who taught me how to drive when I was like 4 years old… (the steering wheel, I mean).

Please pray for his soul and that may he rest in peace with everyone else…. I know he is in a much better place now… And he will always be there to look after us. Love you lolo….

Weird things had happened for the entirety of this week. But before I get to that, I just wanted to say that I took the qualifying exam for the Japanese Government Scholarship for next year’s batch last June 23rd. I don’t know if I’ll pass, but I have a very, VERY strong feeling that I won’t… So I won’t count on it anymore and just look for a job so that I can save up to take a certificate degree at the Philippine School of Interior Design. I always wondered how my life would have been if I took the Interior Designing course instead of taking the Computer Science course. So, I am gonna save up for it and try to enter there by next year, hopefully.

The past week I’ve been staying at my sister’s place in the city because I attended a Job Expo at our school. But, I only went one day though. ANYWAYS… I also went out with my college friends and we went Laser Tagging! It was fun… But it got a bit annoying when you kept on being shot and you don’t know where it’s coming from only to find out that there are people all around you. But bottom line, I had fun with them.

And so summer had ended and A(H1N1) cases in the country had increased, drastically.. :( 4-6 cases had already been found in the university where I used to study so the school has been closed for 2 weeks… And now, all universities in the country had pushed their school opening for another week because of all the cases.

Anyways, I just came home from a summer vacation from an island in our country last Monday… El Nido, Palawan to be exact. It was SO fun! I haven’t had so much fun ever since we visited the United States.. Everything was a new experience to me since this is really the first time that I had fun in the water.. I discovered that I love being on a boat! Funny I know..

It’s May 28th here and it is nearing the end of summer… For most people anyways. Our school had started it’s first term last Monday (May 25). It usual starts early because we are under the Trimester system, so yeah. Hehe.

So, what had I been up to the past how many weeks that I haven’t been blogging… Well for one thing, I have achieved another wish that I wanted.. I finished driving school I think about 2 to 3 weeks ago and just last week, I got my driving license! But, the problem there is, I have no car to use. My parents won’t have me drive an automatic car just yet. They want me to start off with a manual car. The problem there is, all our manual cars are with my two sisters who are both working in the city… So no manual car for me. My mom did say that I would borrow my grandfather’s old car, the Volkswagen Beetle (they had it fixed a few years ago so yes, it is still functional). But, HELLO. The car is YEARS older than me, probably older than my oldest sister. I MIGHT have a hard time driving that thing compared to having a hard time driving our Kia Pride CD-5
