I just hope I'll still be able to get the consolation prize, so I can supplement my grandma's medicine. It's difficult if you're financially unstable. You had to go through a lot of hardships before you get the money you needed, and you can't even buy those stuffs you wanted. And the only purpose you'll see, is to survive. To survive for your everyday life and nothing else. If you feel like resting, you always have this mindset that your time will be wasted. And that's how my life going. It's so difficult. It's so unfair.

Sa kalagitnaan ng aming nag-pa-pack ng mga relief goods ay marami nang nangyayari dito ngunit isang emosyon ang nararamdaman dito, kasiyahan. “Go, Dennis!” “Sige, Dennis, igiling mo pa!” Kahit sa kalagitnaan ng pagod kakaasikaso sa mga gawain namin, hindi ito makakahadlang na sumaya muna kahit sandali dahil sa patong-patong na mga pagsubok ang dumarating sa buhay natin. Well, that is the real definition of life, na para bang hindi kumpleto ang kwento ng buhay mo kung hindi ka dadaan sa pagsubok.

"Astig. Kaya lang buhay ang kapalit. Kailangan nilang maging halimaw sa pakikipag laban para sa nais nilang posisyon at pera." "Sounds awful pero sa reyalidad ng buhay. Kailangan mong lumaban kung gusto mong mabuhay at makaranas ng karangyaan. Wala ng patas sa panahon ngayon. Even the government members, sobrang corrupt. Kaya may mga kagaya nilang handang sumugal sa illegal." Tumango ako bilang pagsang ayon.

Sa pagtira ko sa Manila, nalaman kong hindi lang naman ako ang naghihirap. Hindi lang ako ang walang halos makain, hindi lang ako ang siyang dumaan sa matinding pagsubok. Habang ako ay lumalaban ay maraming pamilya na ang sumuko. Marami na ang nawalan ng pangarap. Marami na ang nakuntentong malugmok sa kahirapan. Ngunit alam kong hindi ganoon ang buhay. Kailangan magpursigi para umangat. Kailangang ilaban ang buhay para sa hinahangad na pangarap. Ang di mangarap ay kahalitulad ng hindi na rin paghinga. Ang pagtigil sa pagtatra

You wanted to live that's why you're still alive. Suicide is not the answer to every problem in the world. No one should take their own life, because life is precious, life is a gift

There's no perfection in this world. "So, don't ever think that our lives make any differences. So, what if I'm rich and you're not? So, what if I'm ugly and you're beautiful? So, what if I'm mean and you're kind? Does it really matter?" he asked, his eyes searching mine for understanding. "Our struggles and imperfections make us who we are. And it's through these challenges that we find our strength and resilience," he said, pulling me into a tight embrace. As he held me, I felt a deep sense of connection and understanding. It wasn't about being perfect or living up to some impossible standard. It was about being real, accepting each other's flaws, and supporting one another through thick a

Mahina nyang bulong. Tumulo ang luha ni Gramps. Kung pwede lang sana... kung pwede lang na h'wag muna, kung pwede lang na ihinto ang oras at araw ay gagawin ng matanda. Ngunit kahit gaano karami ang pera at kahit gaano kayaman ang Isang tao. Ito ang mga bagay na hindi natin kayang bilhin gamit ang kayamanan. Kaya kailangan nating mabuhay, hindi mabuhay na humihinga lang at pinapanood ang araw na lumipas. Kundi mabuhay dahil life is meant to live. Not for us to suffer. Let's live our life to the fullest. Kumawala si Carmela sa pagkakayakap.

"This life is a labyrinth. A quest of finding the way out, of running away from what we don't even know. At first we are in the lowest level. Eventually, it gets harder. It gets more complicated."

"Whether we want it or not, in this labyrinth of life, we do not have all the freedom that we want."

she muttered and kissed me on the cheek. Napangiti ako sa sobrang saya. I feel so contented. Wala talagang pinipiling oras ang mga masasaya at mga malulungkot na karanasan sa buhay. Life is not all about pains and sufferings. It's not all about joy and excitement. It's not only about love or sex or failures. Because life makes this world balanced. Life makes us attain our own equilibrium to be stronger than before. Every situation comes and goes. But if we take courage and stay strong, we'll always win every battle and fight.

"Well, I'm sorry if, unlike you, I can't take bullshit, and I was simply telling the truth. I don't even know why you're letting your mother treat you like this after everything you've done for her and your sisters. Tell me, do you have any plans to be a saint? Because I haven't met anyone who is thinking clearly enough to do everything you did." "Clearly, you haven't meet people that are living an ordinary life like me. Palibhasa kasi, puro mga katulad lang ng pamilya ninyo na nakatira sa mataas na antas ng pamumuhay ang mga sinasalamuha mo kaya wala kang alam tungkol sa mga kagaya naming ordinaryo lang ang pamumuhay.
