Grateful :)

Today I woke up with no attendance to sign, no endorsement to receive or to give, no patients to monitor, to conduct or to see. 5 years of medical school is over and i cant help but be grateful :) Yes, it was a difficult journey, but definitely a happy one.

It was just a childhood dream eventually realizing that this is something I want to do and someone I want to be.

Thank you to my ever supportive family who understood every duty and post duty status. A few days ago was my dad's birthday and today is my mom's and as a gift I gave them my graduation pictures with of course a promise that next time, it would no longer be pictures in the envelope :p Kaunti na lang po :) To my brother, housemates na ulit tayooo haha.

Thank you to my ever patient boyfriend who has been there in every step of the way, for every crazy moment you had lent me your shoulder to sneeze on :p May boards pa so magpakaBuddha mode ka pa rin, okay?:p

Thank you to family and friends who believe, and is continuously believing, who prayed and I'm still requesting for more prayers (for the boards!).

Thank you UP PGH, sirs/mams, guards, nurses, stellar clerks, co-interns, residents, fellows, consultants - thank you for making internship colorful and a venue for a lot of learning not just about health, not just about life but about myself, what I can and should do and what I am willing to do in service for the good of others.

To my patients, thank you for teaching me patience and understanding. And for showing to me how every one is fighting their own battles and thus we should have nothing else to give but kindness to the world.

To my roommate for a year, thank you for putting up with my OCD traits :p Mamimiss kita pero alam ko mas mamimiss mo ako haha.

And of course, to my blockmates turned friends turned family who shared everything with me the past year, secrets, tears, fears, dreams, smiles, hugs, toxicity and of course food, thank you. :) Block H will always be Home, Happiness and Heart :)

To Him who made all these possible, thank You - the best year of medical school has come to an end, and I can't help but smile while I wait for the more amazing things He has in store for me. :)

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...
