Be not afraid :)

"Be not afraid.
I have made you.
I have saved you.
I have called you.
You are mine.
You are precious to me and I love you."

I can still remember the butterflies in my stomach the night before our first day as clerks last year, which actually did not stop on the first day since technically, the fear of the unknown, the fear of not knowing what to expect is still a persistent feeling everyday at the hospital.

There is nothing wrong with fear if we dont let it contain us and if we dont let it stop us from moving forward. And today's homily is a good reminder that this fear should actually be used to remind ourselves of two important things that hospital life is actually teaching me everyday - humility and trust.

Training in PGH is a humbling experience. I learned to accept my weakness and ask for help whenever I need it. I learned to trust the other members of the team because they also made me feel that I am not and will never be alone. And of course, my faith in Him has grown stronger every day that I am able to surpass every challenge because He is always there :)

I hope each incoming clerk will get to have a wonderful year ahead :) And i look forward to being able to "pay forward" how my ate and kuya interns (who will be taking the board exams soon - goodluck!) helped me survive clerkship. :)

"When the ocean rise and the thunders roar,
I will soar to you above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God."

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...
