2013 reminders

Because, i was not able to write my year end blog of thank you's and gratefulness and appreciation, I'll start my first ever 2013 post with some one word reminders that I wrote as resolutions in my oh so pretty planner for 2013. :)

I believe in reminders more than resolutions. Because I have such poor resolve in doing things I promised I'd do and changing things I said I'll change. But reminding myself everyday of the things that I know I should and should not do, is a better way of ensuring that I'll change for the better this year :)

Love
Because with love, everything good follows. Enough of the hate and the almost teenage angst. Always give love. 

Patience
I am not a patient person. I don't like waiting. I don't like it when I don't get things my way. I know I am like that. I know that it is not right to be like that and this year I am challenging myself to remind myself everyday that I should increase my patience in everything that I do and with everyone I meet. 

Understanding
Cause patience and understanding come hand in hand. To be able to be more patient, one must try to understand more. Everyone is different, each person has their own way of living their life, dealing with things they have to deal with. And if these things are against what I believe and what I want, I must remind myself to understand more. Everything has a reason. 

Happiness
Life is too short to spend not being happy every single day, minute and second if possible. Having the first three in my list, will definitely (hopefully) give me the happiness that I seek in life. When we are happy, it would be easy to become others' sources of happiness and joy. and i'd like that :) 

Acceptance
As the prayer goes, 'Grant me the serenity to accept things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference'. With acceptance comes peace, and I have nothing more to ask but a happy and peaceful life this coming year, for myself and for my family.

Faith
Aside from being the year of faith, the first mass that I attended for this year, reminded me to add this in my 2013 reminders. Faith in myself, in my friends and my family. And of course, faith in Him, in His Will and His Love. 

With all these, I welcome, 2013 with some great positive attitude. :) Thank You for the wonderful year that has passed and im looking forward for what You have prepared for me in this future :)

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...
