Entry 01.

...Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she began to fly....

I have never expected things to go this way.

I mean, I'm supposed to be attending my online classes right now, getting all serious about acads.

But apparently, God has a different plan for me.

My family isn't poor, but we aren't rich either.

Somewhat in the middle.

As for my parents, they have high expectations from me.

I want to be a doctor, so I think somewhere along the way of me going to that goal has made them expect lots of things.

I was very eager of getting into my dream school.

I studied really hard, getting all hyped up with Biology and science related stuff.

I even attended review classes so that I can prepare for the entrance exam.

My parents bought me lots of books to read, lots of reviewers, and lots of things that can help me get motivated.

And then...

I failed the exam.

Oh no. I didn't fail it like a fail-fail.

I just needed a tiny 0.011 points.

JUST 0.011 POINTS!

I could've passed if it weren't for that! Grr!

But... I have no regrets.

If I passed that time, I wouldn't have started writing here in Mangatoon.

If I was in an online class right now, I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people.

If I was studying now, I wouldn't have known how my story can make people smile.

And yes, I am glad that I failed the exam.

Because I failed,

I was able to help my mother on house chores,

I was able to help my sister in her cake business,

I was able to help my nieces on their studies.

It was a blessing-in-disguise.

Did you think I gave up on my dream?

No. I did not.

I tried entering again and I became a waitlist applicant, which was by August when I made my ChatFic "Haikyuu!! Inevitable Relationship".

I was trying to distract myself on what news would come to me. LMAO.

I am not a religious person, but I prayed, every single night.

I prayed that my application would be accepted.

Was I accepted?

No. I wasn't.

Another close call! I was ranked 14th on the list, but they only accepted 10.

I mean like, WTF!

They suggested me to wait for the second semester and apply again, which is by the way the time when I made the second season of HIR.

And yeah, I did what they told me.

I waited and waited and waited.

I got kinda bored, but good thing I met you guys!

I was able to distract myself, not overthink about adult stuff.

And guess what?

The result was out last week!

'Iska' or 'Isko' is something that we call people who study at University of The Philippines, and guess what?

I will be one of them soon!

Yes, I got accepted!

This was my 'dream school', but now, I can call it 'the school I attend to'.

By March, I will be attending online classes and study like you guys! (Although mine will be a lot harder LOL)

And so yeah, I was thinking of how I can stay connected with you guys.

I want you guys to talk to me, y'know, be open?

I also want this to be like my diary whatsoever where I can tell you about stuff and you can tell me about yours!

Let's talk about everything we can talk about.

I will also post my announcements here, how and when I will update, and other relevant stuff.

What else do I need to say?

Nothing more.

Just thank you.

You may not realize it, but you guys make me smile everyday.

You may not realize it, but you're actually a big part of my life.

Every comments from you that I receive everyday were like love letters!

I get excited everytime I read them!

I lava you guys! Always keep safe and stay healthy!

^^^Love lots,^^^
