Let's try to choose the nice feelings :)

A good friend told me that I was more mean the past 2 weeks. I can give reasons on why I was stressed out and well, being really difficult. I've been wanting to write, actually.  Since I have tried eating and sleeping to try to lift my mood, but failing miserably. And I know that the next step is to try and transform my negative thoughts into positive reflections. Unfortunately, no inspiration or drive until today, when I was reminded that it was all about choices. 

From the most simple decisions... 
- Choosing sleep (over anything really) 
- But choosing to wake up and work everyday
- Choosing to eat your first and probably last meal of the day before starting rounds.
- Choosing to not study (haha) 
- Choosing not to read spoilers on the latest GOT
- Choosing to act out because you didnt get what you want instead of not acting out 
... To life changing ones
- Choosing your battles (wisely; if i may add)
- Choosing how to act or not react on a situation. 
- Choosing the good all the time.
- Choosing love, kindness and peace.
- Choosing the positive and happy feelings

It's these everyday choices which define who we are and it's our values which direct our choices. Most of the time these decisions are never the easiest - because it's never just about what you want but also what's best for you and for others. (although being selfish can be acceptable sometimes)

*deep sigh*

These choices eventually have outcomes - and whether it be good or bad, what matters is we be ready to face them for the choices we made. Life goes on no matter what - it's up to us  to try and choose the nice feelings always :)

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.
