Hi! Yeah, I’m still up, doing reports at this hour.

We just finished cutting 800++ stickers that we need to sell to cover for our event needs and I just realized how you need to be full time when you’re doing events like this regularly. 😱

But yeah, as what we always tell ourselves, basta para sa bayan (provided it’s for the country), we’ll have the energy to cut almost a thousand stickers in a single evening, on top of a lot more other things to do.

My anxiety levels are getting crazy now. I worry about so many things and imagine some of them not going as planned. What if this happens, and that happens? Ahhh, I get psychosomatic back aches just thinking.

And I (at some point, although it’s kinda funny thinking about it) do wish, at times, that there was somebody I can just hug at the end of the day. Haha. 😅

But you know what, and kidding aside, just seeing the energy of all the volunteers is such a strange life force to be reckoned with. It keeps so many things running, and running very well. And makes jobs easier and it transforms complex things into something worth your while.

I walked under the rain this afternoon. I was supposed to jog but I got caught in the thick rain so I sat by a waiting shed in the forest to wait for the rain to stop.

I was grateful for those few minutes of looking at the trees singing and dancing in the rain. I guess, sometimes, the universe itself finds ways for us to pause and reflect before we get going again.

*Sigh* I just wish I get to have more breaks (and maybe spend it with somebody 😅) in the days to come.

Good night & sending you love,

Azie

P.S.

I’m proud to say that I did not edit yesterday’s post anymore. Haha. Hurray for a newly acquired life skill- writing decently despite being groggy. 😆🎉🍻
