Bless the Broken Road

Almost 3 weeks without blogging. How sad is that?
I don't even have time to write on my journal everyday. Screw you internet! But, I blame myself more and also school works.*winks Then I looked at my planner, and i've seen that I'm not a loser. I still made my life productive this year.

Well, too much for that. Why Bless the Broken Road?

The reason is its the song that is on repeat mode on my wmp. God Blessed the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. Song that was released 3 or 4 years ago. :)

It's a love song. And as I listen to the song for the past weeks, I learned that it could be a wedding song. Haha.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road

Despite the fact that this song should be dedicated for lovers, I still managed to connect it with my life. This is the first time that I'll open this topic in a blog post. So, (*deep breath!)

Maybe God Blessed the Broken road when i'm on my way to LPU (Lyceum of the Philippines University.)

A scenario of my life three years ago....

People who are close to me knows what I'm talking about. Everyone has their own dream school. Mine was UST (University of Sto. Tomas) and yeah, I failed because I was so stupid back then... HAHA. I was afraid to admit to everyone that I don't like the Nursing Course (no offense, its just me.) I think I want to prove to everyone that I can be like my mom. A successful Nurse -- or maybe I just thought that they want me to be like my mom.

I failed the entrance exam in UST. :) waiting list on the second course. but I don't care. That time I just wanted to see the word "PASSED". but I didn't. And I cried. I cried until I can't even talk.
Then I moved on.

While on a Bus going to Manila with my Mom, I talked to her :

Kit: Ma, magagalit ka ba kung hindi ako mag nunursing?
      Ma, will you get mad if I won't take Nursing?


Ma: Ha? Hindi. Bakit naman ako magagalit eh hindi naman ako yun mag aaral? Ano ba gusto mo?
       What?! No! Why would I get mad? I'm not the one who's going to study. What  do you
        want to do?


Kit: Magsulat.
      to write.


Ma: Masscom? Journalism? Sige hahanap tayo ng school na may journalism. Pero dun lang sa kaya natin..... *etc etc. Di rin natin ma aafford sa UST eh.
       MassCommunications? Journalism? Ok, we'll find a good school that offers Journalism but it should be a University that we can afford. We cannot afford to send you to UST (because it's quite expensive.)


Kit: (*parang nabunutan ng tinik*) Ok po.
       (super happy!!!) Okay Ma. 


When I remember that conversation, I always smile. I thank God for giving me understanding parents. Papa and Tita also agreed that time. Paulit ulit nilang sinabi na, Ikaw ang mag aaral kaya ikaw ang magdedesisyon kung anong kukunin mo. (They always tell me that I am the one who is going to study, I should be the one who'll decide on what I want to take.)


And then my mom learned that there's a Journalism course in LPU.
I got three choices PWU (Philippine Women's University), St. Scholastica College and LPU.

Until, i'm torn between St. Scho and LPU

Then I decided to study at LPU because I feel relaxed when I stepped in the Campus. I don't know why. And yeah, its cheaper than St. Scho :)

In LPU.
I have to admit, I've gone out of my comfort zone. I learned to accept many things. I've become mature when it comes to change. And I've created a family out of those strangers who also came from a special life in their high school.

In LPU, those strangers became friends, those friends became family.

And there I said that God Blessed the Broken Road on my way to them.

I always thank God for them. They have been my strength everytime I lost track of my Journalism *future career.* There are times that writer's block attacks you in days were you really need to make an article. They've been there to irritate and at the same time, make me smile. This road that I traveled also made me embrace things that I do not really like. It made me appreciate issues/things that I don't even recognize before.

I thank God for this journey, you made me hang on more. There are many times that I fail, He knows that but I hang on because this is what I really want to do.

Maybe, UST is not for me. And God lead me to where I am now because He wants me to meet this wonderful people. And He wants me to dream and make it happen.

And on repeat. God Blessed the Broken Road that lead me straight to you, Guys. :)
