Lipat

Lipat in English is migrate, what's interesting is our family name is Lepatan( from from lepat(lipat)) and there you are, from my childhood I was too used in migrating from places to places, from Manila where I was born, to Pampanga and then to Cebu where I studied kinder garden, to Mindanao in my grade 1 which I did not finish because we need to migrate to Pampanga, and then I took again my grade 1 schooling and grade 2, after grade we migrated again to Magalang, an another town in Pampanga, for the reason that we had a free house there it is a government project to the people affected by Mt. Pinatubo.

In history, Pampanga and Zambales are the two provinces which was most affected by the eruption of the Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, there is actually a rumor and I have not confirmed it that when the Mt. Pinatubo erupted the earth was moved in its orbit a millimeter, I do not exactly know and I really do not have the fact about it, I just heard it, and I do not want to spread fake news but one thing for sure is the eruption was felt in nearby country, and the earthquake was felt in the whole Luzon in the Philippines, so there it is, the project of the Government for all the people from Pampanga that covered with ash fall and the years of gush of lahar(an sand coming from the crater of the vulcano) that little by little buried the land and the houses in Pampanga.


There it is I had a quick research of an image of the situation from the effect of Mt. Pinatubo,  So the Government from all the citizen of Pampanga, who are qualified to have a house in Magalang, that is why we Migrated there in the Resettlement they call the project, to continue, I studied there my grade 3 and 4, then we migrated again in San Fernando, what happened to our free house given by the government we sold it to the neighbor for only 50,000 pesos installment, this act is a illegal they called it professional squatters in the Philippines, and we actually done it, but then we do not have the choice, I do not want to argue with what is right and what is wrong but our reason is not like syndicate who are the real professional squatters they get free house apply from it and give false documents just to be qualified and then they will sell the house, but in our case we are legit, the reason why most of these people from resettlement end up selling their houses is because the place where the house built has no job opportunities and it is far away from the cities you still need to work from other town, and that is why out parent decided to sell it in cheap amount.

So again, From Magalang, Pampanaga to San Fernando where I studied grade 5 and there end my college, thankfully we did not migrate again, but then just to share my experiences of migration, and again now in my work experience from Bataan to Olongapo. I hope and pray that the Lord guides me wherever am I going.

I write

 I came to write things, I realize many things that may inconsistency is still there,  in order to succeed in life, you need intentionality to move forward even times of downfall, ruined and devastated. you need to be consistent, in life, for you to keep on moving, to keep on achieving that dream, you might be resting but you need to keep on moving in order to move forward,  rest if you must, but you need to keep on moving, you need to keep on believing even life seems to not taking you seriously about your efforts and hardwork. people are getting to see you as a failure, but you need to keep on moving, because the mere fact that you are moving, you are getting there, it is far better than being stagnant, being stopped and stuck in the same place as yesterday. you need to move, even it seems that you are going somewhere else and not to the path you supposed to walk on, because you might find you in your journey what is the right path, and the to travel in order for you to...

it is dawn

 Yeah right, it is dawn already and that I am still awake, I do not know why I am still up, but what I am pretty sure is that, this is not good, and that I am not doing great since I failed the PNP application. I do not know how will I share those things in my life, I laid for days now, and that I do not think this is doing any good to me, I am fighting to end this procrastination and laziness, I am stagnant as hell already, and that the clock is ticking I will be soon be financially broke. But anyway, I will share in this writing what I learned, that I must need to read and write a lot when I am planning to become a lawyer, that is the first thing, the second thing is that I watch someone in facebook that stay in my mind for a while and hope someday, I will remember this short video and tell myself, I did it too. So this is it, someone who is previously a janitor, passed the BAR, and become a lawyer, he shares about his family, and how they support him, prayed for him and he cried...

I am still wondering what life is all about for me

-
 Am I hard to myself or I am just completely idiot for keep on asking what I  am going to do with my life, life is unhappy and not contented, my brain is not working, I am demotivated in every way, I keep on telling myself that I should work to on to my dream but ended up not doing it, and then I move on and keep on doing it again, but I am clearly not focused and there are brokeness and inconsistency in my life. I am self motivated, I am almost cringe on this words, because my life is always ups and down, that is why life is all about perhaps it is true, but you need to be focused, balanced and in the right mind to the point that the downs are not keeping you from stopping, but for me my small downs are getting me demotivated to think that I should stop and quit and surrender in this dreams. what then I get up and still doing it, and then I still feel I am not good enough and it seems that the fate does not match from what I supposed to be in this time. Life is still good, I ...
