“Is the concept of ‘loss’ a good or bad thing for you?”
“It’s bad at first, kasi it’s a sad thing to happen. It’s not always [na kapag] may nawawala, masaya siya. Pero in the long run, having something lost, mayroon kasing learnings na makukuha. […] So for me it’s a good thing din in the end.”
“Ano naman ‘yung mga bagay na takot kang mawala sa’yo?”
“Family. To be exact, time with family, kasi lately for the past months, nahihirapan akong magbigay ng time sa pamilya ko. I think that’s one thing I should learn to prioritize. Siyempre sila kasi ‘yung nagbigay sa atin ng maraming bagay and foundation so we have to give back.”
“What are the actions you’re trying to do so you could give time to your family?”
“[N]ormal lang naman sa amin na family time ang Sunday pero minsan, nalalagyan ko ng org time. So lately, natutunan ko talagang i-blangko ‘yung Sunday ko, maski hapon lang at least blangko ‘yun para makasama ko sila.”
