A Hundred and Eighty Degrees

Jul 28, 2013

It was a very simple day, just like any other day. I didn't know what to expect and I didn't know what would happen. I was not expecting anything for I knew that it was just an ordinary day in my life. In the back of my mind everything was fine. I didn't know what was coming for me, until that happened. It happened too fast, like a blur. It was like taking a nap and when I woke up from my brief sleep, my life has been turned a hundred and eighty degrees.

After being woken up by my parents, I got ready for school. I ate my breakfast and did my morning rituals. I walked to the bus stop with my dad. I kissed his cheek just like what I always do before getting on the school bus. It was n ordinary day and it started off rather slowly. My classes were too slow and I was getting really impatient for no reason. Then my heart started beating so fast and I didn't know why but I suddenly felt nervousness in my system. 

My heart wouldn't stop its fast beating. When I got off the school bus it felt weird because my father and my brother weren't there to pick me up. They would usually pick me up and then we would go home together. I called my father's phone, he didn't pick up. It was getting late so I fetched my sister from school. My dad never came. We went to a friend's house because we didn't know where else to go. Then my mom called, she was crying. When we arrived in front of our apartment, I saw an ambulance leaving. We immediately went inside our apartment. In there, my mom was sobbing loudly. That's when I realized why I felt so uneasy earlier.

It all happened too fast and the next thing I know, I was in an airplane bounded for Manila, alone. It was my first time traveling alone so I was really worried and sad. I immediately took an entrance exam for Cavite National Science High School and luckily, I passed. My life was so different from before. It was a sudden change thatI had to cope up with immediately. Being a student in Cavite National Science High School is not easy. I've learned a lot of things in the school and I think I still have a lot to learn. Now, I am a junior. Time does fly by so fast. 

In our life one sudden event can change everything. It can change everything in just a snap of a finger. We have to treasure every moment with our loved ones because we wouldn't know what would happen today, tomorrow or in the future. We have to make everything, every moment worth it because having that regret in your heart after not being able to say what you want to say to your loved one, it is not pleasant. It is painful. There are also a lot of challenges in our life that would and have made me want to back down but always remember, there wouldn't be a rainbow without a little rain.
