This is not a blog entry about love.

“Someday, you will meet someone who will reintroduce you to yourself” 
We used to and still kid one of my friends on this saying that perhaps she was in love to this “someone”, and she would often say “no”, however the no would usually contradict the sparkle you see in her eyes. Up to this day, she has never labeled her “someone” as someone she is romantically attracted to - instead our conversations and prodding would end to the “someone” being someone she considers to be special.

And I think now I know what she meant.

In life, we meet people we get to know and in the process of knowing them you get to know yourself again. 

Living the same routine everyday gets boring, and more often, we can get lost into the rhythm - waking up, going to work, doing what you have to do, going home, sleeping. We forget what it’s like how to live, how to appreciate the things and people around us. Then someone comes and asks you about your past, your present and your plans about the future. Someone asks questions you never thought of asking yourself. 

And then one day you’ll wake up brighter, one day you just see things in a different light. You even start to think of hobbies and you start laughing more. You eventually realize you’ve become someone you never intended to be and somehow, now you know where and who you really want to be. 

And no, this is not the romantic, head over heels kind of love. And no, I dont have sparkles in my eyes. And yes, i think you can have more than one in your lifetime.

I do think too, that these “someone”s were never meant to stay. The paths He created were designed to allow you to cross paths for a time probably more than once, and then move on, to different, could be parallel directions. And once they’re gone, you are not in the sad-broken-hearted state. Because it was never about being in love. 

And whenever we think of them, we become grateful, because they left us a gift — of finding yourself when you never even thought you were lost. 

So there, this was never a blog entry about love, this was a blog entry again born out of procrastination, and yes my friend, I think I understand you now. 🤗

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.
