almost there :)

I am a week away from freedom. Exactly the same time next week, i can be worry free until the first of May :) But before that freedom, i still need to finish 6 final exams and one comprehensive exam to test my learning and well, stock knowledge for the past four years of studying.

And just like that the extra four years of studying is over, and i am on my way to internship - the last year before I enter the real world of actually, really being responsible for someone's life. Now it's overwhelming thinking about that. :o But let's save the internship thoughts for May 1. :p

I was not able to share my clerkship thoughts for my family medicine and OB rotations. Suffice to say, I enjoyed every waking day for these two rotations and going to the community and the hospital weren't much of an obligation because I liked what I was doing and I  was with very encouraging and inspiring people. :)

The past month was all about elective which I took last summer giving me a whole free month of hopefully studying for the exams, which of course I barely did. But then again, no regrets. The past month gave me time to have fun with friends who stayed with me through the nine grueling months of hospital work, of trying to adjust to the system until actually getting the hang of it. This free time I was able to enjoy with my family, be a good sister to my brother (by cleaning his place!) and being a daughter to my parents :) This free time I was able to go back to my province and rekindle that desire to really go back and serve. This free time I gave myself to actually relax, to stop and appreciate everything that I was blessed with :)

I am almost at the end of this road, about to embark on a new one. :) I am grateful for everything that has happened and everyone who has been there to support :)

Yes, I am almost there, unting kembot na lang ;)

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.
