A note to the future

this letter is for my future self, for the people i am going to meet, and to the man i'd be gladly to see every morning lying beside me while our children is still asleep...


Age: 26
Year: 2017

To my future career
It’s been months since I graduated from my M.A. in special education and I am currently learning ASL – American Sign Language. On the other hand, I still work… for 3 years now; I still work for this company. I started here as a human resource assistant. My experience then was something different from my first job. I had to meet a lot of deadlines, make phone calls, meet people and big bosses of different companies, talk to different people who need jobs, and etc.

Last year, the head of the department transferred me in training and development area. We’re the ones who organize seminars and teambuilding, workshops and other stuffs for the employees and soon-to-be employees in our company. I excel at this work – I love organizing these kinds of events… I learn from the talk givers and I make friends with them… I think my PR attitude has developed very well since I was transferred in this area. But sometimes, there are days that I caught myself thinking how I miss the children at school! L I’m earning much more here than at school – but does it really matters to me now?

I’m still thankful though, because I get to have friends from different organizations that I’m very glad to meet and help. There is this organization for the disabled, wherein I volunteer and donate kinds every once in awhile; there is the red cross, where I still volunteer to help when I have time if they have bloodletting programs to different institutions – sometimes, I invite them in our company. And also, because of my salary, I get to save more money for my future business. By the end of this year, I‘d be able to give my down payment to the owner of the lot I bought. HAH! Finally, my very first business!!! J I just can’t really express how thankful and proud I am to myself. It’s a party venue by the way J

To my future husband and children
Ooooh :”) It feels so great to be engaged to the first man who made my heart jumped. Maybe next year, or in 2 years, or at least before we reach 30, we’re going to get married. What more could I ask for from this man who changed a lot? This man whom I thought would live me hanging… this man who fought against the odds… our relationship was risky… it wasn’t very easy. It’s unacceptable… but he chose to stand up for what he know is right and what he feels for me. For 10 years and more, I am still in love with the same man who introduced the world of love and relationship to me. He taught me how to get hurt and be strong. He was there when everyone seems to go away. Sooner or later, we’re going to have 2 kids… and I can’t wait for him to finish his medicine school. Yes, he’s going to be a doctor, and his specialization.. children with special needs :)

To my future house
Lovely huh? This home is going to be my family’s territory. It will have plenty of rooms to grow and plenty of memories will be remembered here. Pictures of us will be seen here to remind the visitors how much we adore the memories we have made to each other’s life. The designs are very modern yet Filipino culture is  seen – I don’t want my house to look like a foreign house… It’s not very Filipino-like kind of attitude. A backyard is made for visitors… our friends love to spend time here. My soon to be husband is thinking of having a pool, but I don’t think it will be practical. We’re still on the process of deciding on what else to put in the backyard aside from the grotto I asked for the architect and the designer.

To my future service
                Since I am going to get married soon, I am no longer connected to the youth groups in our parish. I still help them though in different ways, like financially, and through prayers and different ideas for their activities and retreats of course. I decided to expand my service outside the parish. I help different churches and religious groups in proclaiming God’s words and teachings. It’s good to know that my soon to be husband has learned to be open to this thought. Me and my soon to be husband has also decided to practice our vocations through helping different less privileged social working houses and organizations for children with special needs. We’re very hands-on when it comes to this… and I am very glad that we both share same interest.

To my future children – Aden Skyler & Winter Venice
                Oh how lovely your names are! Your father and I thought this baby names when your Ninang Krista announced Cloud’s name. Your father got envied and so he decided to think of names for our angels. Your father was very happy thinking and he really enjoyed that moment. Of course, mommy enjoyed that too. She was soooooooooo kiliiiiiiiiiiig :”) cos she saw your father’s excitement.
