Very familial :)

Talking to my parents was never easy; but I made my way through it.

I was given enough space for explanation and right extent for my atonement. I never pictured in my mind that Mom would sympathize. The thought of leaving UST made my blood run cold; I was scared. By happy chance, I will not be leaving, I will not shift. I AM GOING TO STAY and it's all because of their faith in me. I will no longer betroth; I will just do my best and strive to reach the top especially now that I was given another shot. I am forever grateful, really.

"I just thought that, the best thing that you can do is to learn from those mistakes. Sometimes, you have to experience failures just to learn what is right. How I wish you don’t have to learn it the hardest way. But, I just would like to consider it as a reality of life. I’m really hoping that you’ll try harder this time." - Mom

Not to forget my dad, definitely. Our first conversation never really turned out great; his mediocre statement even made me weaker and pushed me to my limits. "Iistorbohin mo ako dahil dyan? Magpapahinga na ako" *yeowch* But, it turns out that he has something nice to say too. I despise myself for having doubts if he truly loves me.. I should have never faltered my father's love. Because I know he does, he truly does.

"I'm not mad but I want you to strive more. You got to learn your lesson from it and try harder if you want to fulfill your dreams." - Dad

Family quarrels have a total asperity unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of twang. A pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, a sweetness behind the bitterness. I have a tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb I climb out on will still be there later for me to climb back. When all is said and done, I still return to my family, the one where I belong veritably. Despite the problems that have passed, I am glad that they stayed with me.
Oh God, I love my family. :)
