Sat With Ree: Ako Lang 'To

Hello, everyone. Kumusta naman na nangangalahati na naman ang Hulyo? 

Siguro naman minsan sa buhay mo naranasan mo nang magsagot ng questionaire o mag-fill-up ng form? Hashtag: buhay estudyante. How about slam book? Ni minsan ba sa buhay mo nagawa mo nang magsagot ng slam book? Teka lang........alam mo ba kung ano yong slam book? Kung alam mo kung ano yon ibig sabihin non panahon na para lumagay ka sa tahimik kasi matanda ka na. Char. Only 90's kids can relate to this. Diba noong nasa elementary tayo o don sa iba high school usung-uso yong slam book. Gustung-gusto ko gumawa at magsagot noon ng slam book. Kapag may bakanteng notebook doon ko isusulat. Doon siguro nagsimula yong hobby ko na pag-jo-journal. Inggit na inggit ako sa mga classmate ko na may sadyang slam book. Kasi diba may nabibili naman na slam book talaga. Yong sa akin kasi ginawa ko lang sa isang notebook na hindi ko na ginagamit tapos yong mga tanong kinopya ko lang sa kaklase ko. Masaya na ako sa ganon. Pero mga tatlong friends ko lang yong pasasagutin ko. Tapos gagawa na ulit ako ng bago. 

Since it's still my anniversary month naisipan kong gumawa ng slam book. Slam book "modern day" version. Pero yong ginawa ko sarili ko lang din yong pinasagot ko. Alangan naman. 😁 Tsaka sa halip na sa notebook ko isinulat syempre we're in "digital age" kaya dapat level-up na din yong slam book. Yong mga ishe-share ko dito sa aking slam book will be just between you and me. So kapag may nakaalam na iba ibig sabihin non inispluk mo sa kanila. Kasi tayong dalawa lang naman ang tao dito alangan naman na ako yong nagkalat. Kaya kung anong mabasa mo dito is "for your eyes only." Okay po ba yon? 😁

There are certain things from our past that we can never really outgrow eventhough many years have already passed. Simply because these things give us joy while doing them. Just like how I love creating slam books before that eventually lead to creating scrap books that now turned into journaling. Sometimes we have no idea how just by doing simple things when we were younger would eventually lead us in discovering our true passion. During that time all we know is we're doing it simply because it was fun to do or because nakikiuso tayo. But now we're doing it because it makes our heart happy or sometimes when things get too overwhelming it serves as our stress reliever. It also makes us feel alive while doing something that we love. It is important to find something that you love doing especially during this time of pandemic. Even if it's a little childish or doesn't make sense to others what matter is that you find comfort in doing it and it makes you feel like you again. It helps you maintain your sanity in the most insane times of your life. It gives you a break from the reality even just for a little while. It is necessary that you find time to do something that you really love doing.

Your true passion may not be everyone's cup of tea but it doesn't matter. As long it gives you life and a reason to live and it won't hurt anybody you should do it. Find something that excites you, something that boosts your creativity and enlivens your soul. Always remember to never lose the child in you.

Ciao.😊
