starting a new chapter:)

it has been 6 months since i graduated with a bs chemistry degree
it has been 1 month and 18 days since i became single
it has been 1 month and 11 days since i took the chemistry board exam 
it has been 1 month and 8 days since i found out that i passed the chemistry board exam 
it has been 3 days since my first ever job interview 
it has been 3 days since i found out that id be working starting tomorrow. 
it has been 2 days since i took my oath as a chemist
it has been 2 days since i was inducted to be part of the Integrated Chemists of the Philippines
it was just yesterday that i heard fulfilled chemists talk about the career paths that they have chosen, hoping that the things they shared would help us decide on the kind of future that we want. 

a lot of things happened and 
i am still very confused on what i want to do with my life. 

after graduation my main goal was to pass the board exam. 
after passing the board exam my main goal was to find a job.

i thought i'd have a hard time finding a job that i considered a lot of other options:

a) taking a second degree
b) taking medicine
c) being a bum (until i find a job)

and all of them sounded really great that i started planning each possible option. 

i started calling schools for possible second degrees and found out that the applications would start next year. 

i applied for nmat and i'd be taking the exam on dec. 13.

i asked my tita to buy plane tickets for me for my birthday to dumaguete and cebu. 

but then.

tenen. 
i was hired to be part of a research and development team. 
i'm really thankful that out of all the many people who are looking for a job, He gave me one. 

but i still think that everything happened too fast.
yes, i had my share of bum time. 
though not really that bum since i had to review for the board exam
and i had to work part time as a writer to earn for my allowance after the board exam.
(my parents stopped giving me allowance after passing the exam. *tears*)
though it's really fun earning for money for myself.  

ha. my ideas are incoherent. 

actually the only thing keeping me sane since i found out that i'd be working is the fact that He would not give me anything which is not a part of His plans for me.

bottom line: im scaaareeeedddd. but excited. yet really nervous for tomorrow. :|

i was just worrying about my 112.1 special project and my thesis proposal a year ago. 
and now i am forced to start a new life. 

though i know that this new life is something that is good for me after everything that has happened. i still find it sad that this life that i'd be facing soon is a life away from school, from my batch mates and from my now ex boyfriend. i would start living a life away from the things and the people who made my day complete for four years. 

and although research has been my first love in high school.
i am not that positive and confident, that this is what i want in the long run. 

and if i wanted to stay and do research for the rest of my life, i have to study chem some more and that's something which is not part of my options. 

*scream*

im panicking. 

and he's no longer around to assure me that everything would be fine. 

but i should get used to that since he would never really be around me anymore. we are even barely friends. that im positive he wouldn't be reading this.  

that's why im blogging. 

and im saying a lot of things. cause im panicking! sheeez. haha:))

***

bottom of the bottom line:

i am starting a new chapter in my life. and like all the previous chapters, i should do my best in writing this new one. and enjoy it to the fullest. it's okay to be nervous cause that's actually normal. but that should not affect how i'd deal with whatever i have right now. and most importantly, i should not be scared because i should never forget that He is guiding me in all these. :)

okaay.
that's more like my own advise to myself.
laboooo.:))

pero i feel better. :D
talking to him and Him and blogging never fail to make me better. 
and since i cant and wont talk to him 
the latter two made me feel better. 

and i should stop naaa.
stopping:))

    haha, congrats! who needs a man?! Being single for now is probably the best thing that could happen. Buong college life ko, single ako, and I made strong friendships na di ko magagawa with the burden of being in a relationship..

    tapos nagkaboyfriend ako (yung mas bata kaysa sa kin, haha, yung parang kasing edad nyo) tapos nagbreak kami! tapos nun, nagpaganda ako tapos pumayat ako though ngayon medyo may laman na ulit ako.

    Basta, being single is great. Guys at that age... di pa sila ready. might as well enjoy and bide your time for the real thing.

    congrats sa research and development job! I wish I did that before kasi ngayon grad student ako tapos nagdadalawang isip na ko kung itutuloy ko pa. Pero there are more opportunities to rise. But I can say that with an MS at least, mas malaki ang possibility na makaangat ka. God bless!

    agrees with kate. buti ka pa may time magsulat. although, bum ako di ba? so dapat nakakasulat ako... *laughs* ...pero ang weird... ang busy kong bum! hahaha. *hugs anne* aaw. isn't He just wonderful? He's so great. He guides us. And yet, He still has a bag full of surprises.

    I'm just so happy for you. Everything may seem fast, but it's because you deserve all of them (yes, even being single). In the end, it's all about who you are and what you've done to your life. *hugs*

The Preparation.

How do you put 100 days of preparation, 4 days of examination and 3 days of waiting in one blog entry? You can’t. Haha. So I’m making this a 3 part entry. That very long hiatus from writing and this heart full of emotions had led me craving to write my heart out. So indulge me. I don’t think I would be able to encapsulate all the emotions in that one of a kind journey which led me to where I am today. But I would still try because having that experience is something that I would love to look back to (definitely not do again) but something that I would like to read about when I feel like strolling down my memory lane. It started the day after the review center (Topnotch medical board prep) orientation where we were welcomed with a wake-up call, the board examination is about three months away - 106 days to be exact. Will it be enough? Probably. And then came the diagnostic exams where in there was really the doubt of whether it will be enough.  Parang hindi . But it was...

Life Thoughts - Life and Thoughts.

And just like that, we are married! The past few months have been heart-very-light-kind-of-nice. <3 It feels actually weird to have someone with you 24/7 at home (and not the hospital). And nope, I'm not complaining.  As usual, I've been wanting to write but not finding any inspiration until today.  I've been reflecting, more of day dreaming, while reviewing for the board exam and I just want to write down some, well, thoughts.  I grew up in an environment where there are things that should never be talked about, just because you don't want to make things worse. And it did not make things worse, but it did not make them better as well. I learned that words can make or break someone. And that if you do not have anything nice to say, it was better to shut up. And because if you say mean things, no matter how true, these may hurt people. However, this mindset did not shield me from getting hurt. This was also why I hated confrontations. Because I only thought that confr...

Page 2: lungs and the Pinas :)

today was our first day in our pulmonary module. well i was asleep half the first lecture, but i did well in listening in the afternoon session :) and then there was free time, which i gladly spent updating myself with the latest episodes of the vampire diaries and once upon a time :p which i'd gladly write something about as well sometime :p and another exciting thing today, i had a spur of the moment let's join the quiz bee with my friends! the quiz bee was all about stuff about the Philippines. it didn't went well. but, the experience made me really happy with a lot of learning :p liike.. knowing that the stars in the Philippine Flag symbolizes Luzon, Mindanao and Panay Island and that the capital of Tawi Tawi is no longer Tawi Tawi :o sabi ko nga sa status ko sa facebook -- 'nawindang ang brain cells ko. at nachallenge ang natitirang elementary stock knowledge ko' :)) then a dinner full of plans for the summer vacation which i really really hope to push thro...
