Weak Week.

I have been trying to write these feelings down but the brain heart balance was a little off; I cant even finish a thought that would make sense. Until today, after going out of the hospital with the sun up, being able to run and as I enjoy the best happy food ever created for humans - potato corner and milktea.

Too much expectations from oneself and I again found myself spiralling down, losing grip. Some wont understand, but it's my own perceived shortcomings whether validated by external factors (even indirectly) or not - a load of them then triggered by a shortcircuit and the switch for the red flag goes on. Yes, yes, I know, it's the type A personality of demanding too much from oneself. It works perfectly most of the time but yes yes I know that being too hard on oneself is a toxic habit I have yet to get rid of my system.

Add to that this world - this world which has the habit of asking more when you are able to deliver more. Hence the endless cycle of supply and demand, but with resources being depleted faster than they are being replenished. (hello lack of happy thoughts and motivation and life sunshine).

These are very rare moments, like how seldom one get to witness an eclipse. These moments of weakness remind us of our heart's desires and give us a quick tap - a reminder to slow down, to breathe in the edsa pollution while riding at the back of that risky scooter, to leave a little more for oneself. And in that short pause before going back to real life - say a quick prayer, watch that Sabrina episode or those netflix trailers, sleep in a little more, cry those eyes out in the arms of your person. Then just like that, we climb up those spiral staircase again, like nothing has changed but somehow different.

PS. Yung kaya 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.
