Life Lesson #49: Fears

people fear about a lot of things. i have a lot of fears, i'm afraid of animals specifically dogs - i squeeze the hand of the person beside me everytime i see one and i get the feeling that i would be bitten or chased by any dog that i see on my way. Aside from dogs, there are frogs and insects like bees, mosquitoes and cockroaches specifically the flying ones.

Slowly, i get to face my fears. I can kill cockroaches now, because our dormitory is full of them. although i must say that my heart beats really fast whenever i try to kill one. For those fears that i can't face still, i just stay away from them.

sometimes other people have fears that we belittle. For instance, my best friend's scared of frogs and roller coasters. I understand his fear of frogs but I laugh at him about the roller coasters because i love roller coasters. :p

i was afraid of cooking. okay, more of i don't like to cook because i don't like the heat, i'm scared that i'd wound myself from using the knife or that i'd be burned by the hot cooking oil. and then as mentioned in my previous entry, a situation came up where if luck would not be on my side, i would need to face that fear. then i started helping myself overcome that fear and that help started today. :p

i guess, it's really just a matter of how to look at things.  i was scared of something, that i am starting to desensitize myself from that fear by exposing myself slowly. and it actually felt good, cooking. i enjoyed it, and would love to try it again soon. :)

that's one thing off my list :p the frogs and dogs and other insects can wait. maybe next year :p

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.
