From bad to worse

Short Note: I have quit the pageant


What will you do, when you know that your father is only one day away from a surgery that decides his future capability to walk and the doctors don't even dare to estimate the success rate to you?

You sit, think and wait.

The night has never been so painful, and the people you cared the most don't even call to say "hang in there". You just want to be alone, and wish upon an angel will decend and grap your hand and say "everything will be alright". It never happen, never will, and you continue to wait.

I can't remember what I did these few days, I can't recall feeling what I feel, doing what I do. I feel numb, and lonely. The "what if" question keeps floating up my mind, and I hardly communicate with my mom, we fear the same thing, and fear to talk about the same thing. And suddenly, I get so angry at myself, I'm so angry I'm still a student, I'm so angry I can't even support my family, I'm so angry I'm so incapable, I'm so angry I can't even tell my daddy: "Dad, if one day you're unable to walk, I'll take care of you, mentally and financially."

I am so angry I have so little time, so young and so naive. Never have I wished right now like never before I had taken my master earlier. I could if I wanted to, with all the time I had after getting a degree 3 years ago, I would have gotten my master degree by now if I were to continue right after that. But no, I have to wait, and work. If only I started my own business then, I would have gotten further than where I am today. But no, I have to study.

I am upset, angry and annoyed by myself. I never hated myself as much. I want to cry, but that is to admit defeat. I don't wish to make my parents sad or worry, it would only make me a burden. I need time, just a little more time to prove myself.

Daddy, please don't give up on me just yet.

  2. Don't blame yourself hun. Regardless, you are still a student. And what a student can do now is finish your studies with flying colors. Stop thinking about the "otherwise" because if only we all know the "otherwise" we all would be billionaire. Keep positive thinking, he'll be fine :)

  9. No word can ever describe ur dampen feeling now. No promise can soften ur worries. No tears can cure ur despairs.

    But we are here when you need us. Be brave and accept whatever future that may lies. Your close ones need you the most now, show them the optimistic face that you once have.

  10. Penance nor feeling angry with urself won't improve the situation. Try not to worry too much cos worry is wasteful and useless in times like this. Instead, be strong for your family.

    Have faith and know that our prayers are with your family.

  11. Nicole, don't blame urself. Things just go the way they want to. The grass will always look greener on the other side. Life goes the way it is for you now for a reason. You chose this path for a reason. Nicole, life is simple, you make a decision and you never look back.

    Remember Nicole, you must be tough, hang on there. You family needs you. Even if you can't provide them with financial support, you can always provide them with the moral and spiritual support that they really need right now. Hang in there, buckle up and hope for the best. I'll be praying for your dad and hoping that he recovers real soon. Nicole, let us just cross our fingers and hope for the best alright girl? Cheer up now alright? *Hugz*

  12. Hey nic, I'm sorry I bug you yesterday. No wonder you are so down. When I left for Australia last year, my mum found out she had a 8cm non malignant tumor in her brain. She underwent an operation and lost one eye to it. She now only relies on one eye to see the world. My family hid it from me so as to not affect my studies. I only got to know about it, half a year later...

    I totally feel you. I know that there's a lot of things that you haven't do for them. You felt like you owe them alot and you have yet to pay them. You want them to be in their best condition till you are finish with them. I feel the same. But on the bright side, you're there for him when he is going through all this. I didn't get a chance to be there for her.

    I'm not going to tell you everything will be ok. I'm not going to tell you be strong. All I'm going to say is, he's still your father whatever it is and be thankful, he's still around. Love him with all your heart then, love him with all your heart now...

    Take care

  17. Never give up hope. My dad was critically ill last year, so I kinda know what you are going through. It helps to know what exactly is going on. If you need help in that just email me at melvynchin atgmaildotcom.

  18. hie nicole,

    there's no one to be blamed at this situation.. things happen for a reason from God.. But trust me, miracles do happen.. my mum was diagnose cancer a few years ago.. she was at the final stage of cancer.. but she made it through miraculously.. this is because my mum told me, she doesnt want to die before seeing her own grandkids.. she wants to live to see her children get married and have their own kids thats y she hung on... so, trust me... miracle do happen... pray to God more often... God will help..

    i will pray for u everyday.. i will go to church and ask everyone in church to pray for u, your dad and your family.. things will be alright...

    keep a positive thinking and most importantly be strong..

    Take care nioole..

  22. good. you wouldn't have won anyway.

  23. melissa: what the matter is wrong with you, the girl's father is ill and she quit so that she can take care of her father and all you can talk abt is the competition? It isn't all about winning. To me, she won because she quit, all for the right reason, how many girls can do that?
