Life Lesson #35: We are blessed:)

Last December 8, was the feast of the Immaculate Concepcion.

Time permitted for me to attend mass together with some of my batchmates, and the priest gave a very nice homily, telling us how much we are always blessed.

I'm always writing about sharing blessings, about always putting first what and how to give more to others than waiting to receive. I never thought that there could be a missing piece in that puzzle until that homily - the question of, how can we give something to others if we do not have anything at all?

I guess, I've never thought about this because I always have more. But I would like to think that I never did think about where to get things to give because I believe that we always have something that we can share - not necessarily material things, but maybe a piece of ourselves, a prayer, a shoulder or even a hand to hold :) But then comes the question of how to make ourselves give when we really have nothing left to give even ourselves? Unfortunately, I think that kind of situation may happen.

Buti na lang, nakinig ako sa homily :) Where the priest reaffirmed my belief, that we are always blessed with God's Grace. and that is enough for us to be blessings to others. That is enough blessing in our lives that we should share and that we should give more.

Some may call it religion, some faith. I say it's a way of life - knowing that you always have something that should not only be contained for yourself but is meant to be shared and that no matter what happens, we would always be blessed, because that is how it should be. Life is a blessing and being able to breathe a new day everyday is a form of being blessed. :) this is a gift that we should also always offer to others whenever we can. :)

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...

May cool-off rin pala sa mag-asawa

May cool-off rin pala sa mag-asawa. Akala ko ang cool off ay para lang sa mga malalabong relasyon ng mag boyfriend o mag- girlfriend (para gender sensitive tayo), magkarelasyon na nasa it's complicated status o ang mapagkunwaring, 'mag bestfriend lang kami' pero ang totoo ay nagaaway lagi na parang sila kaya kelangan nila mag -cool off mula sa pagiging mag best friend . Karaniwan natin maririnig sa marami sa mga magulang natin o sa mga tito at tita, ninong at ninang na ang pagpapakasal ay hindi parang kanin (o sabaw ba?) na isusubo bigla at kapag napaso ay iluluwa. Kelangan siyang pag-isipan ng mabuti at gawin lamang kung nasa tamang edad, pag-iisip, tamang panahon at tamang katayuan sa buhay i.e kelangan ay handa ka sa pisikal, emosyonal, mental at pinasyal na aspeto ng pagpapakasal. Madalas kong natatanong sa sarili ko kung ang mga lolo't lola ba natin ay hind nagkulang sa pag-papaalala nito sa mga magulang natin. Minsan naman naiisip ko kung tunay na naiin...

Life Lesson #50: of secrets and lies

I woke up hearing a story, of how everything would end. Of trust issues, and lies and secrets getting piled up to destroy something special, something sacred, something we thought was worth fighting for. Why hurt each other when you vowed to love each other eternally? It says that with love comes pain but when do you say that you've suffered enough? When do you draw the line of loving and letting go? Love. Prayer. Hope. That's all left to do when everything starts falling apart. Continue loving cause in love we may find forgiveness, pray cause in Him we'll never be wrong and hope that there will always be a better future ahead.
