A letter from May 2nd, 2019

Time Travelled — almost 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, It's May 2, 2019. I am in the office. I just finish having my break time. No one knows what I would be like after five years. But one thing is for sure. I'll be 30 years old by that time. There are three things I want to see after five years. #1 Make CECTS a stable company for Filipina teachers who are willing to change their lives. #2 Make my family house be renovated and good enough for all of us. #3 I have the car I wanted to have for a long time now and an apartment which is rent to own in Manila. It could also be a different path for me. I might go abroad one day and make a living there. You know me I am very impulsive. Well, five years from now I think I might gain new experiences, I might be dead because of my employer or I might be successful and settle down there wherever that country is. Well, I am currently moving on from a heartbreak with Charlito Moralla Jr. Yes, I don't want to forget. We became officially together in May 21, 2018 and broke up officially in April 13, 2019. Yes, I am still bearing the baggage of regrets and hopelessness. I promised myself not to see anyone nor give chances to anyone. Because I don't want to love again. Well this is enough for me now. I don't want to fail in love again. Five years from now I hope I was able to moved on to be a better person. I have learned a lot of things. Now it is time to focus to myself again. I am excited to read this after five years. I hope by that time you have enough PATIENCE. I hope by that time you have already accepted that YOU CAN DO THINGS. I hope that time you have built up yourself into a woman of GOD. May all the odds be ever in your favor. Five years will be a tough journey. See you 30 years old me. -25 years old Jhoanna
