earning money - not easy.

Being a medical student entails a lot of sacrifice. saying no to college or even high school friends gimiks not because you don't want to but because you just cant. not joining your family for a celebratory dinner or a movie because you have to stay near school. and we're not talking of just a few years. being a medical student, training to become a medical doctor is a life long learning that you must learn to adapt and manage your time, whatever is left of it anyway.

I guess one of the most difficult things about being a medical student is seeing all your other batch mates earn their money and spend it on things they want. I'm lucky to have parents who support me and give me things i need and sometimes even those which i just want, but i sometimes can't help myself but feel envious of friends who are starting to become financially stable on their own. 

As a person, I think I tend to spend a lot. I guess the girl in me really likes to shop a lot and buy things I say I need but not that so much need, and yet i rationalize. so yes, i spend a lot to the point that my allowance really is not enough. and so for the nth time, I am trying to earn money. because saving don't seem to work as much. I work as a part-time writer. and now, I shall try being an entrepreneur - sort of, anyway. 

I'm hoping that I can fully manage my time, with school and writing and the org. Well if I won't be able to do it wisely, then I guess I'll have to really just save money and cut down my shopping list. :p

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...

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...
