How I Met Reality

Have you tried getting slapped by reality?

In case you haven’t, let me give you a heads up. It can either leave you thinking like you’ve got the whole world on your shoulders, or it could leave you excited as a kid about to watch his favorite television show. Unfortunately for me, reality gave me a really hard slap on the face that left me feeling excited because I finally realized I have the world on my shoulders. Yes, it’s driving me crazy; reality can also make you nuts, too.

Let me tell the story of how I met reality.

Embracing Change

Things have changed. They always do. But I never knew the change would affect me this much.

A year and a half ago, give or take, I found solace in a cup of cold, delicious milk tea from my favorite tea shop, Chingkee Tea. Whether I felt overjoyed or depressed, whether I needed to drown my frustrations or celebrate my achievements, or whether I wanted to flush my anger or I simply wanted to chill, I always went to this place.

As June of last year approached, I knew I was gonna miss this place. And I did. There was no milk tea place in Cebu which made me feel as happy and calm as Chingkee Tea did.

Truth be told, though, I wondered why.

Last April 10, I found out why.

The Return

After a failed attempt at maintaining my blog, I'm here to try again. Haha! Hopefully, this time, I can continue what I've started. Fingers crossed!
