an end of the world blog

Not.

Well, i just cant help myself but ride with what is the trending topic for today, as they say, today 12/21/12 is the end of the world. Although i am not particularly sure what time the world would really end.

I believe in the concept of 'end of the world' but I don't believe in the world is ending concept where there will be great earthquakes and great floods to bury the people alive. I believe in the second coming but not in the coming of Jesus where those who did well in their lifetime will be saved and those who have been mean and bad will be left to die.

This is what I believe:

Everyday, we experience the end of the world - facing the kind of problems that make you think that it is the end of the world. Some may really be more tragic than others while others really just don't tolerate as much. For instance, today is the hospital's Christmas party, and perhaps an end of the world problem that may happen today is if it rains so bad (i hate you storm) that the party will be cancelled. It's the kind of end of the world sadness that will get the employees disappointed for something they have prepared well. Another is losing someone you love, either through death or plain stupidity, in whatever way you'll end up living your life away from someone special - another end of the world crisis.

And the great finale is when you die. It may have been literally your end of the world, your end of the journey in this lifetime but this falls to the end of the world that family members experience when they lose someone by death. For your literal end of the world, I believe is the beginning of another journey where there you will see Him (no matter what you did in this lifetime).

Writing about death creeps me out, so i guess it really is the end of the world hormones talking.

Today is the day, they say. Well let's see what I have to write tomorrow. I am currently predicting the long list of status messages and tweets for being thankful for being able to survive the predicted end of the world.

If you ask me, I think the end of the world problem that I would probably be facing today is the shame of dancing the gangnam dance for the Christmas party or hating myself for eating too much.

Everyday, we experience the end of the world, facing the kind of problems that make you think that it is the end of the world. But everyday we are able to survive, we are able to cope. And today is another one of those days. And we will survive, we will cope ready to face another tomorrow and another seemingly endless list of possible end of the world problems in this lifetime.

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.
