don't stop...hold on...

when you feel sick and tired of the negative things going on with your life...

when you feel that you have cried so much that your eyes are drying up...

when you feel that one loud and long scream is what you need to release the tensions inside your heart...

when you feel there's no detour in the road you're taking...

when you feel it's time to stop...

that's when something comes up and makes us realize that we shouldn't get sick and tired...that's when little miracles come along the way...that's when God tells us there's no reason for you to push yourself lower the pit...

The past few weeks was the lowest period of my year. I know it's a breather that after 5 long years I'm taking my career path to a different direction. But, seeing that I might end up in limbo state -- not knowing where I'd head next or not having a new job yet to replace -- is really depressing. For some, it might not be a major problem. For some, the decision I made could be a mistake. But if this mistake will be a way for me to learn and stand up again, I'm taking the challenge...

All of a sudden, from all my depressions and stresses of where I'll be heading next, a stop to think and pray was all I needed to keep me going again. When I stopped and cried out my all in my room, that's when I realized there's still so much more awaiting for me. This financial-problem-phase will just be temporary. That's when the other options and little miracles came to me. My family who never stopped believing I could still get a better job this time kept telling me to keep going. My friends who never ceased to remind me that this is just temporary. They have been sending messages to me of support and of options what to do for the meantime, instead of giving me the blame.

Honestly, I don't need reprimands at the moment because I know where my fault line is already. I should have made this decision before and I should have not made a thing or two opportunities pass before...But read this, "THAT WAS BEFORE"...I'm in for the next stage of my life -- get a new job here in the country or abroad or better yet, make this small business work. I've had enough of the crying and the depression. The stress already made me physically sick -- SO THAT'S REALLY ENOUGH. I've put myself down, made mistake but now, I'm gonna keep going and aim to get to where I should be.

So to those who have or are still pessimistic like I was weeks ago, I can't be too prophetic here...Don't worry too much [my friends were right...]...And when you feel you're gonna breakdown into the bottomless pit, pray...PRAY HARDER...AND DON'T QUIT...

Let me leave this quotation that I've always kept in mind the moment I saw this in Nike store in Greenbelt [haha...just in case you are curious to check]

"DON'T STOP WHEN YOU'RE TIRED, STOP WHEN YOU'RE DONE"...

PS. Let me leave as well my song-slash-video for the weeks to come [in memories from the Archuleta and Cook Live in Manila]...I just can't help it cause it's still in my memory and I love this song...enjoy^_^
