Way back 2022, I had my first girl friend. She was my ultimate crush for 4 years. I courted her, and she says "yes". We used to call "love" and we are both opened to our families. But then, sooner, she knows that I am different. She figured out that I am not a straight guy. I tried to convinced and explained to her but suddenly she left me behind. I texted her but she blocked me on her social media accounts. Weeks later, I tried to moved-on but still she appears in my mind. I think about her everytime until I met someone. Someone who comforted me, someone that always there for me but then I fell in love. Luckily, he's not also a straight guy. I am joyful to know his real identify. Let's just call him- Bensoy. Me and my partner living in one home after two months of in a relationship. My family don't know the sh*t that I'm doing because they are really against to same-gender relationship. So, we live together secretly. We used to smile, flattered, and happy together. Until they day had came, his true colors are went out from his shell- the devilish side of him had been showcased. He cheated on me and he said I was to blamed. I don't even know what I did, I don't even cheated on him in fact I caught him cheating with my two eyes. One day, I went home to my hometown because it's weekends and no classes, until that moment I went back to our boarding house he brought another guy. My tears really coming out. I cannot control myself at that moment. He said " He was just my friend". But I really don't believe in him. The guy he brought to our boarding house is running away until he and me went out of fight. It really so-called "disaster". He even punched and kicked my face. After what he did, I still forgave him. And again, his devilish side is coming out again. I was about to commit suicide. I'm about to stab my neck with a knife and drank the sanitizing alcohol just want him to stay with me. I begged a lot, I knelt down to his front. Days passes, same thing happened until I asked God "Lord, give me at least 3 signs why I should end up with him?" two days later, I caught him cheating, lying, and keeping a distance from me. So I believe that's the sign. Without further hesitations, I ended up with him. By that, I felt like "Oh! I'm finally healed". I have learned a lot of lessons from him. I kept on asking myself " to whom you really belong, Neal?" Now, everything is okay. I'm happy for my single life.

Way back to the years that I started playing volleyball I felt so shame and embarrassed because I don't even know how to receive the ball and serve the ball. I was really left behind. I felt insecure and jealous to my friends who knows to play volleyball. They didn't even pick me as one of their team mates. I was really sad. One day, I told to myself that I should not stop playing volleyball, I should not listen to their words uttered against me. Everyday, I kept on practicing with full hard work , determination, consistency, and self-discipline. As time passed by, I have slowly learned such skills of volleyball and I am not that behind over my friends. When I got enrolled to CTU-TC, I told myself that "Neal you should tryout despite the fact that others are more skillful than you", so I really tried. I tried my very best just to be picked and take part of the CTU-TC volleyball team. Suddenly, I was assigned to be the second Libero but at least I'm still part of the team. Unfortunately, the one player of Beach Volleyball got injured, so I took his position. When NorthSel meet had come and held at Carmen, Cebu, I felt nervous because I don't even know the techniques of beach volleyball and don't have any practice

Luckily, we got second place not that bad. During the last Intramurals of CTU-TC, I played beach Volleyball and yes, finally, we got the Gold Medal and I am ready to battle again for the Cebu Tech Meet. I was really flattered and overwhelmed because I really did it even if it's too small achievements. I really put everything to God, the results are very amazing. He gave me double blessing because I was awarded as Best server (Indoor) and Gold Medalist (outdoor) during the intramurals. When my friends heard about my achievements, they congratulated me and they already include me to the team where there are leagues and all. Thanks G!♥️
