1091 Words
Raggo Castillion I know I'm in love for the first time. Sabihin man ng iba na mga bata pa kami, pero ang t***k ng puso ko alam kong para lang kanya. We both have same goals and qualities, together we dream that someday aahon din kami pareho sa hirap at sabay namin makamit ang pangarap ng bawat isa. We are both eldest sa pamilya namin, pareho kami ng antas sa buhay. Kami ang inaasahan nila na mag-aahon sa kahirapan someday. Babe, kapag naging sikat na ako na singer, magtatravel tayo abroad, isasama kita kahit saan ako magpunta. Madali lang yun kasi may pera na tayo eh, iaahon natin sa hirap ang mga pamilya natin, magkaroon tayo ng maganda bahay at sasakyan; masigla kong saad sa kanya habang ini-imagine ko ang pangarap ko. At ako ang magtatayo ng bahay natin at bahay ng mga pamilya natin kasi by that time I'm already a license engineer; balik niyang sagot sa akin. Nasa may bukirin kami nun bandang dapit hapon. It inspired us more every time mapag-usapan namin ang mga pangarap namin. Gusto ko maging sikat na singer someday, mahilig ako sa music, mag-compost ng kanta at siya gusto niya maging engineer. We promise na aabutin namin yun together. She always encourage me to pursue my dreams every time na magkaproblema ako in terms of financial. A part of me nagdududa kung kakayanin ko ba maabot ang pangarap ko dahil na rin sa kakulangan. Sometimes tinulungan niya akong mag-arrange ng mga isinulat ko na kanta. I made one for her and sang it in her birthday. That made her smile that day. Thank you babe for composing a song for me, it's really nice. You are a talented artist. If you can make me happy and appreciate the song you made for me then you can make others appreciate your talent as well. Keep going, babe. That was the best compliment i ever got, because it was coming from her. She never sugar coat her words, always straight forward, one of the qualities in her i like the most. Every time may singing contest kasama ko siya, pinagalitan siya minsan ng mga magulang kasi na late ng nakauwi and i explain to her parents na sinamahan niya ako. They knew how passionate we are about our dreams and both parents understands it. Totoo pala kapag in-love ka lahat parang madali lang, marami kang magagawa, sobrang taas ng energy mo palagi because you are inspired. Marami akong na compose na kanta, ang daming idea ang pumapasok sa isip ko, lahat yun siya ang inspirasyon ko. Matiyaga niyang ini-arrange ang mga isinulat ko, magaling kasi siyang bumuo para mas maging maganda pakinggan. Babe, sa Manila na pala ako mag-aaral sa pasukan, kasi di kaya ng parents ko pag-aralin ako ng college. My auntie offered na siya ang gagastos pero sa kanila ako mag-stay as house help na rin nila; yun ang paalam niya sa akin after our graduation, dun na siya sa Manila magco-college. Nalungkot ako pero i understand kasi opportunity na niya yun eh para maabot ang pangarap niya. Me since kapos sa buhay i plan na kumuha ng training for skilled courses from TESDA, my parents cannot afford to send me to some college. That become a test in our relationship, we are in LDR situation. It was hard at first; I'm not used to not having her around. But we made it for a year we are apart, we become stronger. Baliwala ang distance, thanks to social media, we survive kasi mayroon parin kaming communication at parang di kami nagkalayo. That's how we can say na we love each other truly because distance not an issue for us, but it made our relationship grows stronger. I always smile kapag naalala ko siya. She becomes my inspiration in everything i do. Naging matatag kami sa hamon ng buhay. Our mind and heart are in sync even we are apart. Babe, huwag mo akong ipagpalit sa iba hah, we will stay strong together, soon magkasama din tayo; saad ko sa kanya one time we had a video call, di man palagi but we made sure na we talk and text every day and video call once a week minimum, she just waited when I'm going to call her. She understand kasi wala akong income pa, kapag may raket lang. Off course bakit naman kita ipagpapalit sa iba? We just need to sacrifice for now para sa dreams natin. I'm looking forward na soon we will be together. Balik saad niya sa akin. Never ako nag doubt na she will cheat on me, that's how i trusted her. I always assure her also na siya lang sa buhay ko. I never give her a reason to have a doubt on me. Babe, how about you come here in Manila, if you want to pursue you singing career mas maraming opportunity dito, mas madali kang ma-discover. If you want to work maraming job hiring dito, there's a lot of chances here waiting for you. Konbinsi mo sa akin one time nagvideo call kami. She is in her 2nd year college in engineering that time. And i like her idea, bigla akong nabuhayan ng loob, knowing na i have a bigger chance na makamit ko agad ang pangarap ko pero a apart of me may takot kasi i grow up in a province, di ako sanay sa city life the more Manila, a huge city. Tingin mo kakayanin ko, wala akong alam sa lifestyle ng Manila Babe? Andito naman ako eh, di ba sabay natin aabutin ang pangarap natin? So why not start it now habang mga bata pa tayo? Nachallenge ako sa kanyang sinabi. She assured me na kakayanin ko kasi andun siya para tulungan ako. Kaya in that moment i take a leap of faith and jump into the decision of going to Manila Kailan ko ba sisimulan ang mga plano ko? Paano ko makukuha ang dreams ko kung di ko i-try ngayon? Those are my question for myself, that motives me to do my plan. Sumugal ako, pumunta ng Manila dala ng mataas na pangarap. Pagdating dun siya agad ang sumalubong sa akin, sobrang saya ko nun, at least magkasama na kami. I feel na malakas ako kapag magkasama kami. I become more inspired kapag nariyan siya sa tabi ko na parang lahat kaya ko. I never regretted my decision of taking the leap of faith. This is the start of achieving my goals together with my love.
