DEL RO: Daring Everytime Lord Reaches Out

Sup y'all!!

As a novice in the blogging industry, I honestly don't know what my first post should be about. However, I figured introducing to you guys the only way Del Ro can. You see, my name's really Jake (Fun Fact: My full name's Jose Joaquin Carmelo P. Del Rosario, so it really takes rocket science to figure out how in da heck I got Jake as a nickname). It was not until high school when peeps started calling me "Del Ro", short for Del Rosario (my family name). I thought it was just a nice cool moniker that I could use during mini-reunions, casual events, and if God makes it happen, rap gigs (yes, I love rap y'all). However, as I'm about to end my College life in a few months, I figured going back to this dope nickname I introduced myself to 5 years ago. I had wanted to come up with an awesome statement that fits the "DEL RO". Here are just a couple of failed attempts

"Don't Envy the Lord, Respect Only"
"Dreams are Empowered by my Lord, the Righteous One"

It wasn't until this week that I finally nailed it: Daring Everytime Lord Reaches Out

I know, I know, 'every time' is supposed to be two words, but unlike the previous ones, rejected by its creative author, the third one speaks volumes and reflects my whole in a nutshell, or at least the exact opposite of it. For the most part, the doubter in me always steps up to the plate. However, looking back, I ask myself "Has there been anything I have not done?" Looking at everything in hindsight, the transition from the US to the Philippines has been smooth, I survived this hell of a sem, I've passed all my subjects *fingers crossed* and I'M FIVE MONTHS AWAY FROM GRADUATING. So yeah, the Del Ro in me is telling me to quit doubting and start believing. After all, a legend from Philly once said " #TrustTheProcess ".

This is Jake Del Ro, signing on to the world of blogging! ;)

THE ODD MAN OUT

Being an introvert is hard, isn’t it? The fact that you’re all alone in the corner, wondering why you don’t have true legit friends, or the fact that you may seem to have “friends”, but they just come and go as time passes. It’s as if you’re always the “Odd Man Out” all the time, and it can be very frustrating so to speak. I am no stranger to this feeling, and I guess that’s what makes me “The Extraordinary Introvert”, as the blog name suggests. You see, life hasn’t been easy for me in terms of the social aspect of it. You’d think that my childhood was “normal”, given the fact that my family life is not too disruptive and my family members are very supportive of me. It’s just that when I leave home, I feel the more striking effects of my introversion. My grade school days were just classes-recess-lunch-dismissal-repeat. However, the in-between intervals were the lonely hours for me. These were spent either sitting in a dark corner of the classroom or walking along the corrid

 Happy New Year y'all!! 🎊🎆 Before we all plunge in to a new set of 365 days, allow me to recap to you guys what 2018 was for me.  To make things easier, my 2018 recap will come in the form of words. Hehe Rejection Ohh yes, you just know I was gonna go there.  There was a whole lot of this nung 2018. That girl that I was crushin' on for about a year, REJECTED. That one sem where I was about to dean's list but didn't cos of one D (I was 3.33, and the required grade to meet for DL is 3.35. So close yet so far), REJECTED. Topics and ideas for my history paper, REJECTED. When I try to reach out to a group of friends but can't seem to fit in well cause I'm an introvert or they don't even know I'm around, REJECTED nanaman ako diyan.  Even when I play basketball at our local courts, my shots would always be emphatically REJECTED.  Doubt With all these rejections coming at my way left and right, doubt crept in a lot. They say that your enemy
