Some of us have so much to do but so little time available. We tend to neglect some or put urgency to some. We may have focused too much on something and too little on another.

In my case, it seems that politics and public service aren’t the only things that get my time. I have to finish my doctoral studies, maintain my TV and Radio shows, make sure I have articles here, spend quality time with family and friends, visit and have quality time with my Pangga and also manage well my hobby and other interests. It seems that I have too much to do but well I guess it makes one more productive. As my Nanay always tells me, “It’s better to be busy than to be idle”.

To be honest, there are days when I feel so tired because there is so much to do but I feel thankful and blessed to have all of these than nothing at all. I also am grateful of the support of my family, friends, pangga, supporters and the people of Iloilo City. What I do is just plan my day, week, month and year well so that I could manage everything.

There will always be time for everything as long as we prioritize well. As the tagalong cliché goes, “Kapag gusto, maraming paraan…Kapag ayaw, maraming dahilan”.

Para sa kauswagan sang Syudad sang Iloilo, UGYON Kabataang Ilonggo, UGYON Iloilo. Ilonggos are worth working and fighting for.
