Life Lesson #29: To love is to let go.

No. This is not about my own love story.

My previous entry was about reading. and two days ago, i finished a book in two days which almost destroyed my life, since I was so detached to reality that i forgot my priorities, my duties and responsibilities :p my reasoning: i had to finish everything, because then is the only time that i can function normally. although after reading the book, i had a few more days that i get the images, parts or words of the story playing in my head and remembering the plot :p thinking about what could have been done to have a better ending (and by better i meant a happy one).

anyway, im talking about the book by Jodi Picoult - The Pact. It is a story about two childhood friends turned lovers who had a suicide pact. It may sound simple, but it's not. Explaining the whole plot in my own words would not give justice to the book, that i encourage you to read it if you want something heavy, complex and mind boggling :p really distracting but the love is overflowing, it filled my heart.

after reading, i felt once again blessed that i am loved and that i have someone to love. To love is to let go. it's a great learning to keep in mind all the time, but it is hard to fully explain. I guess, it would just come naturally. It may be hard, but when that time comes, I am positive that you'd just feel it, and that you'd be making the right choice :)

For now, let's continue loving :)

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

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...

Page 2: lungs and the Pinas :)

today was our first day in our pulmonary module. well i was asleep half the first lecture, but i did well in listening in the afternoon session :) and then there was free time, which i gladly spent updating myself with the latest episodes of the vampire diaries and once upon a time :p which i'd gladly write something about as well sometime :p and another exciting thing today, i had a spur of the moment let's join the quiz bee with my friends! the quiz bee was all about stuff about the Philippines. it didn't went well. but, the experience made me really happy with a lot of learning :p liike.. knowing that the stars in the Philippine Flag symbolizes Luzon, Mindanao and Panay Island and that the capital of Tawi Tawi is no longer Tawi Tawi :o sabi ko nga sa status ko sa facebook -- 'nawindang ang brain cells ko. at nachallenge ang natitirang elementary stock knowledge ko' :)) then a dinner full of plans for the summer vacation which i really really hope to push thro...
