the blind side: an eye opener

Leigh Anne Touhy: Find some time to figure out another bedroom for you.
Michael Oher: This is mine?
Leigh Anne Touhy: Yes sir.
Michael Oher: I never had one before.
Leigh Anne Touhy: What, a room to yourself?
Michael Oher: ...A bed.

the offer

What if you've been offered something you can't refuse? Will you accept it? Or will you consider other people who also want that something?

This is harder than the classic boy-best friend-girl situation. :(

looks like my luck's different from that of others

I've been trying so hard to understand why I couldn't turn my dreams into reality, and I don't believe this is just because of money.

What do I lack?

courage?
skill?
appropriate opportunities?
birth order?

money???

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S JUST MONEY!!!

Wish I could tell him that everything will be okay, but since I couldn't sa Imo ko na lang idiretso.

Wala lang...

Iba gid man kon makita mo sia.

Wahihihihi!

I will never forget how you turned around when I called you "Manong". You're probably surprised because you're not used to hearing your name or an address, but still you turned and looked at me pleasantly. You're probably surprised when I handed you the container, but my heart was more surprised when you gave me a happy and sincere thank you before sitting on the ground to open the carton.

I'm not used to receiving a "thank you" from people when you give something - literally and figuratively. Simple people and simple words/statements floor me.

ava-tired

Nakapoy na gid ko. P'ro dapat kayanon. Ang corazon nagabatyag na. Life source, don't give up on me. Buwas na 'ni. Pagtapos sang tanan, massage and biking lang 'na ang katapat.

Promise.
