Christmas Break 2012 (Part 2)

Now this part of the blog is the happiest. *more party poppers* because in this entry I will be writing and sharing pictures of our Singapore-Malaysia Trip :)

Christmas was different because we did not celebrate it at home in the province. No midnight mass with early seat reservation to be able to watch the panuluyan. No noche buena with lolo and tito and tita. Nonetheless, it was a happy if not the happiest Christmas, because we were all together. :) I think I made a blog about this a few years ago, on how much Christmas traditions change every year. But what really matters most is that we are always together on such special day :)

December 24: Flight to Singapore

We had a Christmas Eve flight. At first I thought, it was such a loser idea to have a flight where when 12 midnight strikes, we will be up in the air. The only consolation I had was hoping to see Santa and his reindeers while on flight. kidding.

But it was not as bad as i thought. Upon take off, I was able to see stars on the ground. With the many Christmas lights all around the city, it really seemed as if little twinkling stars were sprinkled on to the ground that night. I was not able to take pictures. but the scene was for me.. magical :)

And i was not able to see Santa and his reindeers. But I was awaken at exactly 12 mn by Santa himself. And the little kid in me went giddy with his Christmas biscuits and candies. :p Merry Christmas indeed :)

while waiting for boarding, im teaching my parents how to be vain, and i will surely regret it :p 

before take off, the seats beside me were empty, I was able to take the window seat. yay.

Santa on the plane!:)

I woke up for these. heee. Merry Christmas!:) 

At Changi Airport. We were picked up by my brother and Tito where we were brought home with a buffet of delicious noche buena waiting for us :D 

Merry Christmas in SG!:) 

December 25: Christmas Day

We started this day by hearing mass at the Divine Mercy Chapel near Tita's house. After breakfast, off we went to our first hotel, Marina Bay Sands :)

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.
