A healthy lifestyle includes good diet and proper exercise. And such lifestyle is important especially for an md-to-be like me. Cause how can i advise my future patients to have a change in lifestyle when i am not healthy as well :p Besides, living a healthy life also means a longer, more meaningful and enjoyable journey ahead that we can also share with our love ones :) I am determined to lose whatever i gained :p i am still within the range of normal bmi but i am no longer comfortable so, let's do this!:D

Time for oneself is an important part of one's week if not of one's day :) We must not be embarrassed to go on a mall trip alone, to eat alone or even be 'friendless' for a while :) Cause these moments may actually give you the time to think, reflect and make the best decisions for yourself.

Indeed.. There's no place like home :)

I say sleep along with laughter is one of the best and most effective medicine. it's because i was just asleep the whole day. :p

..does not mean forgetting everything from the past. It means bringing with us bits and pieces of memories from yesterday that we could use in our journey to tomorrow :) In the path to becoming a good doctor, i had to leave being a chemist. And after two years since college graduation, I was able to get myself to dispose of some of my college stuff today. from which i realized that I may forget the chemistry subjects or lessons i have studied in those four years, but i will forever treasure the memories that made my college super - my friends, professors, and my organization.:) These people and the experiences i had with them makes moving on more bearable :)

.. a book by its cover. .. a movie by its title. .. a person by his appearance. Cliche as it may seem, people should learn to never judge. There is always a lot more than what is seen in the surface that to be able to know the real worth of anything or anyone, we must allow ourselves to get to know it/them more. Judging something or someone easily does not do anything good to you and to the other person; to the other person, since they are not being given the chance to prove themselves and to you since you may actually be missing the opportunity of getting to meet one of the most amazing people that you may know or not being able to immerse yourself in one of the best stories that could have ever been told because you thought they don't deserve your time. :) yes, i guess that's the moral story of the day :p real steel is a very nice movie. indeed a tear-jerker and a movie which is worth your money and time :) happy one week to my blog!:)

..if you have nothing nice to say. sometimes people think that what they think and what they have to say should matter. however, often times, what you have to say may actually just hurt the other person, no matter how true it may be. keeping quiet can and would actually make this world a happier and a more peaceful place; that we should all try to do it sometimes. :)

it's the most amazing feeling in the world :)

you'll know that you have the best set of friends when despite a long time of not being able to see, talk and bond, the friendship remains as good as ever. to the point that when you see each other again after a long long time of nothing, it's the same as always. :) these people are rare finds in a world where having a 'friend' is easily done with just a few clicks. thus when you do find these kind of friends consider yourself lucky :) i have the best college loves. it's been two years since board exam, and we're as baliw as always :) i have the best kuya that despite shutting myself from him completely for almost 5 months, nothing has changed :) all of you are the best :) here's to more years together :)

..you do anything, you speak, write, tweet, update your facebook status, blog. words are powerful. anyone should always use it with care :) i was too preoccupied last night, i forgot to update my blog :p it's my sembreak already:D hooray!:D

life always offers us choices:) these choices always have consequences that no matter what we choose, we should always be ready for them. you may think that all these consequences are bad events, sad moments or things that you have to sacrifice. well, not all. remember that in making a choice, we almost always opt for the one which would bring us greater good. this 'greater good' consequence may not always be immediate, but sooner or later you'll get this as well. today, my choice was reaffirmed after almost 7 months of waiting, of sacrifice and of persistence. :) i know i made the right decision to improve myself, and to prepare myself to become the doctor that I want to be. it's not too much but it's a stepping stone. and with time, i know i'll get there. thank You :)

this is just my second post and i am already having a hard time, well i never thought this would be easy anyway. today was not that eventful, i was practically asleep the whole day that i cannot think of any valuable life lesson to share. so i browsed the internet for more inspiration and viola!:) thingsweforget.blogspot.com never fails to make me smile and say 'that's right!'  it annoys me when people complain especially those who complain about almost everything. although i must say i also have those days when i complain a lot as well, just like today. but i eventually get a hold of myself and remember that all it takes is an attitude change. i mean come on, not everything would go the way we would have wanted it - i would have wanted to not go out of the house today, but since i had to, atleast i ended the day having two new blouses, making myself happier :p it's always a good thing to remember that everything has a purpose and a reason, we may not know it now yet...

change is the only thing constant in this world. everything in life always change - people, places, priorities and even relationships. sometimes, these changes are for the better, while some can be for the worse. but what's sad is that a lot of times, we cannot do anything about it but to be open, to accept and have hope - be open for change because as i said, it is the only permanent thing in life; accept that once good friends can become enemies and once lovers can even become strangers and finally hope that better people, better things will come our way. i've undergone a lot of changes - both for the good and for the bad. with these changes, i've left some people behind while sometimes, i am the one who is left behind. im not  always proud of these changes, but i learned to adapt and continued to move forward with my new self and i guess that's what is more important. indeed through the years, i've changed and im glad i did. :) trivia: this was realiz...
