The long wait is over...

Published in

The long wait is over...I have waited for a long time…a very long time that I almost gave up. I thought it will not come anymore, I thought it will remain a myth. And suddenly, in one blink of an eye…after many years of waiting…it has arrived.

 “Bukas ang pinto sa saradong utak ngunit sarado naman sa isip na malawak”

 8 years ago when I moved and work in our community, organizing the youth by working on a valuable program like Feed the Children and Tree planting. We have dream of an Urban Poor Youth Organizations creating its own direction, standing by itself, networking with other organizations, set its own rule backed by the government, and become one across the country. But its gone into nothing, I work hard for it pero pakiramdam ko, parang nag-iisa lang kami. Parang tumalon kami sa bangin tapos yung iba nakatingin lang ehehe. Hindi ko maintindihan kung nasa’n ang mali. Fighting in a cause na kami lang yata ang nakaisip. So I decide to let it go. Ipinag-isantabi ko na lang ang lahat at hinarap ko ang sarili kahit na sa likod ng isip ko, sana dumating ang panahon na may magising at Makita ang ibig naming sabihin..

 Nananahimik na ako eh until last Tuesday, I’ve heard in “big boss” meeting a need of a community to pilot test the new program. Whaaaattt?(as in tulo laway pa hehehe)  Eh ano kaya kung dun sa community namin?? At muli, dumaloy ang dugong matagal ng tulog, at nilukuban ang buo kong pagkatao. Muling nagising. At nagsalita. Here I am Again. Parang nakikita ko yung mga “against” na nilamukos ang mukha tapos ang sabi, “ Oh my Jordan…not again…” ehehehehehe…ngayon pang may kakampi na ako ahahahaha…

 I’m glad that I came to a place where our vision is parallel. Maybe things like this doesn’t happen accidentally, this is a GOD's plan. I believe in it. Kaya nga kahit hindi na ako makabangon sa tambak kong work load eh eto pa at kumuha na namn ako ng sakit ng ulo. Okay lang. Minsan lang dumating ‘to kya I will grab this once in a lifetime opportunity which will change the world of my kind. I’m just an instrument, and I will not let them down. Xempre, Medyo pa-hero effect ang dating 

 There’s a time na na-confuse ako. Mabuti namn ang objective ng idea, bakit parang walang tulong na dumadating. 'Yun pala, ang kailangan lang ay patience. Wait and have patience. And after that long waiting…in one click, eto na.

Patience is the attribute of the strong. I know mahaba pa ang lalakbayin nito, pero I tell you, as long we have the right vision, hindi tayo maliligaw.

I believed this will be the beginning of a new journey, a journey that will shake everyone in the world of animation. Will turn everything in 360 degree. Will move the ground and will shock those who don’t believe it may happen. I’m glad I live in this generation and will witness this extra-ordinary event no one has ever seen.

 We are more powerful than ever recorded in our history. This make our decisions and actions more important. We have the power to damage and destroy or to conserve and create.

The decision we make and the action we take today will may affect not only our self but might a million people, not only our own country but maybe the whole world.
