what have happened

It has been a long time since I've updated this blog, or at least wrote the things that have happened in my life.

I've watched Gary V's concert entitled Gary@23 at the Music Museum last August 31 and it was really really worth the time and most importantly the experience. I was with my mom enjoying his performance. Pictures have been posted in my multiply. Truly, Gary's energy has never faded. He is still the Pure Energy that we all know, together with his son, Gab who also did a very good job in performing and putting a fabulous show that night. It ended late already but nevertheless, I still enjoyed and that night completely erased my sadness and inspired me once again. After a very long time of supporting Gary V, I can indeed say that he will always be the best in his own field and in his own way. Nobody can ever copy the original Gary. If you haven't seen the concert series, stay tuned for the TV delayed telecast soon.

Aside from this special event, our biosystematics class went to Avilon Zoo last Sunday, September 3. We had loads of fun moments, bonding sessions and funny experiences together with those animals that we have visited. I can't believe that despite the long walks, I didn't actually feel tired...perhaps it was because we enjoyed each other's company. Aside from the fun moments, it was unexpected that we would receive a bad news that our TNT, Nikki Castro, passed away because of heart failure due to leukemia..

When I went home, I can't deny the fact that I felt his presence. I have felt Nikki's soul, watching over me. The cold chills, the smell of a burning candle... I have experienced and I must admit, I was scared. I couldn't concentrate when I was studying for a Chem Long test the very next day at 7:30 in the morning. Thankfully, my mom was there to accompany me in my room and I was relieved.

The prayers helped me a lot when I have asked for God's guidance, and after that, I was feeling a lot better. It was also a good thing when I asked for Nikki's guidance and help for my Chem Long test and thankfully, the test was not that difficult albeit my lack of studying and concentration on the subject matter. It was smooth-sailing and much easier than the 1st long test.

It's also a good thing that my schedule is not that hectic already; still I have loads of readings and studies to complete but all these will be properly scheduled.

Oh, and one relevant lesson that Gary shared at his concert: "If you feel you've already carried too much load, shake off anything that's not needed in your life. If it's not your problem in the first place, just SHAKE IT OFF."



Please pray for Nikki's soul, that he may now be one with the Lord Almighty, and be rest in peace. Thank you, Nikki for everything! May you be together with Jesus, now and forever.
