Frustrations In Life

by Yu Angel

Never thought it would be so tough growing up

Sometimes, I just want to give up

But there is always a little voice,

Inside of me to cheer me up

I guess life ought to have

Tough times

But eventually hard times will bring you

Happy times

It just depends on how you look at it

Things tend to happen for a reason,

Which is hard to see at first time

You won't see it unless you go seek

Sometimes it takes time to see it,

But most of time all it takes patience

Be patient, and tough times will pass

Rainbows are hard to be seen,

Unless it stormed recently.

Everything will be sunny soon.

Just be patient

Life is…

This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and the help of several individuals who in one way or another contributed and extended their valuable support in the preparation and completion of this study.

First and foremost, I am heartily thankful to my adviser, Ms. Consuelo Orense, whose encouragement, guidance and support from the initial to the final level enabled me to develop an understanding of the subject. She taught me things far more of my understanding. To you Ms, I give you lots of thanks and respect.

To Sr. Angelica Leviste OSB, President and Superior of St. Scholastica’s College Manila whose sincerity and encouragement I will never forget. Thanks to Sr. Roselita Geronimo OSB who has been my inspiration as I hurdle all the obstacles in the completion of this research work. I also thank Sr. Mary John Mananzan OSB, Prioress/Superior of St. Scholastica's College Manila Priory House, Sr. Baptista Busmente OSB, OIC of SSC-M Priory House and Sr. Benilda Maramba OSB, Superior of the St. Benedict's House Community in Marikina for sharing their valuable time and for giving me helpful information to finish this project.

To all the nuns of the congregation: Orders of St. Benedict, for the patience and steadfast encouragement to complete this study; To Sr. Clemens Hamukoto OSB, Tita Shella and Ate Nene, of SSC Priory House, for the moral support, patience and efforts during my data gathering days. Thank you.

My deepest gratitude goes to my family and relatives. I would not have finished this project without the support of them who were always been there for me whenever I need them; the encouragement they give to keep me going and their love to empower me that never fails all the time. To my parents whose support has always been my source of strength and inspiration, particularly my father, who has been a constant source of support- emotional, physical, moral and of course, financial. This thesis would certainly not have existed without him. It is to him that this thesis is dedicated.

To my friends, who supported me in any respect during the completion of the project and for giving me a lot of positive perspective in life, thank you. I would also like to thank my professors especially Mrs. Marian Tesalona who has given me a chance to prove that I can do things on my own. Thank you.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank our Heavenly Father, for answering my prayers, for being my source of strength and for giving me high hopes. Thank you so much Dear Lord. I praise you and I thank you my Creator and Savior. To God be the glory.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

di ko malilimutan lahat ng hirap ko at sakripisyo sa thesis na to. :) literal akala ko katapusan na ng mundo ko hahha. oa pero totoo. :D

• gusto ko talagang topic ay sa medical fields pero hindi ako pinayagan. nalugmok ako umpisa pa lang
• proposal stage palang. RRL days, natuto akong magcommute papuntang UP LOS BANOS. at kung saan saan pang library at pagdating ko wala na or sarado or wala yung topic ko
• yung topic ko eh di man kauuna-unahan pero bihira lang so, napakahirap humanap ng reference/s
• ilang congregation din ang tinwagan ko at pinuntahan para gawing participants pero ayaw nila. magjujuly na wala pako participants at ipre-pre-test.
• ng makuha ko ang ssc-manila kulang sila so 2 months akong nagpabalik balik sa kumbento at nagcocommute papuntang marikina dahil dun lang pede pa na kumbento
• pagdating ko sa marikina napaiyak ako dahil hindi ako pinapasok sa school at pinaikot ako sa kabilnag gate. na napakalayo literal at tipikal. syempre pagod ka tirik ang araw.
• pagbyahe ko araw araw na kung saan para magthesis.
• at marami pang iba

at muntikan akong di maka-grad dahil sa thesis na to dahil nagkagulo.. kala ko katapusan ko na haha. at yung pangarap ko maka-grad di matutupad pero maraming thankyou sa lahat ng tao tumulong, ngdasal at nagbigay ng supporta.

The Good Things in Life

Oh! Life :)

Everybody Hurts

Everybody Hurts - The Corrs Mp3

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,

When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)

If you feel like letting go, (hold on)

When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand

If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,

When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,

Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes

And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Everybody hurts. You are not alone

The upside of feeling down

“I start to feel like I can’t maintain the facade any longer, that I may just start to show through. And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. I don’t know. Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don’t know the answer, I know only that I can’t. I don't want any more vicissitudes, I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I’ve had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted.”

love all over again
