cause i've been here before

it's the same feeling of doing too many things at the same time and the feeling of being happy in doing what you do before and slowly transitioning to just being tired about it and deciding to not do it at all.

if i am to be asked what drives me to do the things that I do, it's the happiness i get from doing the things I love to do. I actually don't know which comes first, the love or the happiness, all i know is that I am happy and I love what I do and with that I can function well. Just the same, I don't know which comes first with hating what I do and with being sad about what I do. I don't know where the transition of enjoying one thing and being tired from doing things, end and start. It's like jumping from one end to the other. and it's my sad sad reality.

Sometimes I wonder if i am not a good team player. because I tend to do things on my own and I am happy when I am assured that everything is well because I, did them myself. I can be a good team player if i know that I can depend on the people I work with, which is almost always the case. But i still worry too much as well. ugly ugly feeling.

All the same, i can get too bossy that maybe being a team leader does not suit me. and I get easily burdened by undone chores and duties that were already delegated to members and being a not good team player and a dominating team leader, I end up doing things more even those that I can no longer do.

Like most people, I can easily get burned out. Like a story of someone who one day stopped doing what he does and never did them again. Well at least on things that I can quit on.

I actually fear the day that I would just stop doing the things I do because I became tired and unhappy. I already did that once. and although it did gave me a sense of freedom and I had no regrets, it's just not a nice thing to do especially if there are a lot of people who depend on you for the things you have to do.

but you know what's funny? this is not about academic medical school. at all. I can actually live a life worrying only about medical school. if only it's just the books and the patients.Well at least, that's something I'm sure of. cause i know for sure that toxicity from medical school can easily be cured with a simple mall visit, a simple ice cream or a song or two.

i've been here before. i never liked it and i dont like it now. and what more, i don't know what to do because what I did before was actually what's best for me but not what's really great for everybody. and im not at all in a good position right now to do what i've done before, but it's too tempting. too tempting to stop and just leave everything.

or maybe it's just the hormones talking.

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.
