Or so I thought. I stayed for a month at home, resting as Doctor prescribed and I felt it's the worst month of this year for me. I have to stay on 6 months for medication and is not allowed to do community work. I had nothing to do at home but sleep, play FFVIII, eat, play guitar, watch anime or read. There are mornings that I'll just spend it on slumber as my body's too heavy and tired to even get into a slight move. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I was just not fond of staying at home anymore and I was missing my busy days in Perez, Quezon Province. However, in the last part of it, I was enjoying the vacation too much that I didn't want to get back to work. It was a heavy rain. I saw it coming but I still didn't put out my umbrella.

But then, August study tour came. I envied the vigor of my fellow young adults - their laughter, their eagerness to learn and all their energy. I want to be active again - I want to do the things I've been doing before. I felt really sad that I wasn't part of staff who walked with them in Perez, who would have helped them share their lives with children, youth and mothers. While I was supporting in the technical matters of study tour, I never felt more alive than before - and I've regained the excitement I had, in advocacy, of reaching my dreams, of living.
thinking.. "I've got to keep living and loving."
In this month, I learned how important it is to take care of my body - to eat healthy, to sleep early and to laugh a LOT. Now, I'm back to basic.
