Page 1: because i got tired of life lessons

im trying something else.

well first of all, Happy Chinese New Year!:)

and because i was not able to start writing the 'pages' of my 'online book' on the first day of January, I will make use of the Chinese/Lunar calendar to start this new trend on my blog entries. besides, today is such a special day. because. *drum roll* i already know how to cook! :D and i would like to thank my best friend for that :D :D :D

my first product: spaghetti! which means i can now cook for special occasions or if I just feel like eating spaghetti with lots of meat and hotdogs :D and yes, i am very happy about it :)

you see, having such a 'sheltered' life, i never really learned how to cook, wash clothes and iron them. I grew up having people around me doing it for me. and my parents always took care of us as well, the only thing that my mother asks me to do is to clean my room or the rooms of the second floor, but apart from that, you can say I am quite spoiled. And even though I left for the cities early, which could have helped me in the independence part, I had a yaya with me who does everything and I lived practically with family who also provided me with the basic needs plus the fact that there are a lot of fast foods everywhere.

i never wanted to cook. i was quite convinced that I would have somebody to cook for me, I would marry someone who knows how to cook and who's good at it, that was my plan. :p

until i had a bet with my best friend about losing weight with the stakes of me having to cook if i lost the bet. i was actually confident that i would win but thinking about me cooking makes me really scared because I know I won't be able to do it right even if his sister would help me and would actually teach me her adobo recipe. i wont be able to do it right because i dont even know how to open the stove, how to fry, how to chop -- i have negative knowledge when it comes to kitchen stuff. That's whyyy i convinced my best friend to help me enhance my life skill in the kitchen department. and viola! today is my first cooking day and i did more than survive :p

so yes, today is a very special day because apart from starting a new blog entry trend, i have gained a life skill achievement :) hooray for that :) [which gives me an idea for a life lesson entry :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...

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...
