Grateful :)

Today I woke up with no attendance to sign, no endorsement to receive or to give, no patients to monitor, to conduct or to see. 5 years of medical school is over and i cant help but be grateful :) Yes, it was a difficult journey, but definitely a happy one.

It was just a childhood dream eventually realizing that this is something I want to do and someone I want to be.

Thank you to my ever supportive family who understood every duty and post duty status. A few days ago was my dad's birthday and today is my mom's and as a gift I gave them my graduation pictures with of course a promise that next time, it would no longer be pictures in the envelope :p Kaunti na lang po :) To my brother, housemates na ulit tayooo haha.

Thank you to my ever patient boyfriend who has been there in every step of the way, for every crazy moment you had lent me your shoulder to sneeze on :p May boards pa so magpakaBuddha mode ka pa rin, okay?:p

Thank you to family and friends who believe, and is continuously believing, who prayed and I'm still requesting for more prayers (for the boards!).

Thank you UP PGH, sirs/mams, guards, nurses, stellar clerks, co-interns, residents, fellows, consultants - thank you for making internship colorful and a venue for a lot of learning not just about health, not just about life but about myself, what I can and should do and what I am willing to do in service for the good of others.

To my patients, thank you for teaching me patience and understanding. And for showing to me how every one is fighting their own battles and thus we should have nothing else to give but kindness to the world.

To my roommate for a year, thank you for putting up with my OCD traits :p Mamimiss kita pero alam ko mas mamimiss mo ako haha.

And of course, to my blockmates turned friends turned family who shared everything with me the past year, secrets, tears, fears, dreams, smiles, hugs, toxicity and of course food, thank you. :) Block H will always be Home, Happiness and Heart :)

To Him who made all these possible, thank You - the best year of medical school has come to an end, and I can't help but smile while I wait for the more amazing things He has in store for me. :)

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.
