With everything that is happening in my life right now, am I unlucky? First, I stepped on a rusty nail which pierced my left foot pretty deep. I hate needles but the thought of getting infected with tetanus scared me to death so I was convinced by ‘the people around me’ to get an anti-tetanus shot right away. Better be safe than sorry, huh? I just don’t want to die yet. Not now that my dream of becoming a freelance writer is starting to realize  Second, it seems that everyone in the family is getting sick My niece, my mom (and also me) were suspected of having dengue two weeks ago.  Third, for the first time I was asked to do a revision on one of my articles which is so discouraging because I am being paid by someone to write for him and he was unsatisfied with my work Ouch!

In truth, I always try to look at the silver lining. First, being pierced on the foot is such an excruciating pain but at least now I already got an anti-tetanus shot which is good for ten years. Somebody told me “ganon?! kailangan mapako muna bago magpabakuna?!” LOL. Second, because we are so scared of dengue, we tried harder to keep our house clean and dry, plus mosquito spray every morning and Off lotion for the babies (Note: don’t apply the lotion directly on baby’s skin). Third, I realized that revisions should not disappoint me. Mr. X is very professional in correcting my work. He said my grammar is correct but I could have written some of my phrases in a better way. He’s actually doing me a favor because he’s pushing me to improve my writing skills

Everything considered, I am so blessed. The fact that God is so kind to me has been my favorite thought during the past few days. I am still alive! No tetanus. No dengue. Best of all, my hands are full of writing assignments. I couldn’t care less if people are thinking that I’m not doing anything to improve my life. Haha.
