"Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."
Late Bloomer
Wednesday, December 22, 2010

I've been interested on fashion lately. 

I know I'm 23 and should probably have established my preference for clothes but I had other interests before which are much more important than dressing up i.e. writing, football and Med school.

Anyway... so yesterday, I bought these two dresses to wear for the holidays! I'm just so happy about them so I decided that I'll buy more girly clothes in 2011! (^_^;) No more t-shirts and jeans. More skirts and dressy tops.

Haha. It's so petty but I really don't care. 

Okay, done with the shallow blog entry for today.



Btw, thanks to my mom for the dresses.

Triads of Relationships

The 3 things most important for a relationship to be successful:
Commitment. Communication. Compromise. 

My 3 Vital Components of a Relationship:
Love. Trust. Respect.


Recent

I've come to realize that there are only four important aspects in my life to which I'll pattern this update with.

---

My Life in Faith
Zilch. Zero. Nothing. But I think faith could never be down to zero. I've always been buddies with my Lord but I've neglected him so much for the several much and I'm not happy about it. I hate that the worldly demands get in the way of my prayer time and my time with Him. But I hate myself more for letting it happen.

Nonetheless, I still love my God above everything and I see Him in all the things I adore. I love Him and I have forsaken Him at times, but His love for me is ever flowing. Ugh, nakaka-guilty. Hehe.

My Life in School
Messed up! I've never failed so many tests in my entire life. I've never gotten line of 7s, let alone line of 6s! But I guess that's part of being and getting better at things. I just hope these failures won't dampen my motivation and desire to become a surgeon! Hah!

I have a course on Surgery next semester, whoohoo, something to look forward to!

My Life in Family
This has always been messy. My gay brother is living his life without us for about a year now. Sometimes, it gets difficult for me because we've always been close but whenever I think of what he did, it's easy to forget everything! My sister and I are at war right now because she's been so weird and insane lately! Too much happened and it's probably worth another blog entry, haha :)) My youngest sister is in 2ndYear now, BS Nursing. She's been doing well in her studies so that's good!

My mom gets mad at my dad all the time; it makes me wonder why the hell they even got married!

My Life in Community
This is probably the only aspect of my life that's doing so well at the moment! I love my friends - the old ones and the new ones! I couldn't be thankful enough for being given these kinds of friends! THEY'RE THE BEST!

My love life, too! Simply PERFECT. We've been together for almost three years now, but it feels like we've barely started! He still makes me giddy like a school girl.. best feeling ever!

The cliche says you can't have everything in life, it's damn true, but it doesn't mean we can't be happy with what we have.

BEFORE MY M.D.
Thursday, May 27, 2010

Things to accomplish before I start living the life of toxicity:

  • Learn how to surf and wakeboard.
  • Go skinny dipping.
  • Travel to places without my parents or any relatives.
  • Go mountain climbing.
  • Confess to Master T.
  • Re-learn how to drive. (This should be accomplished within 2010.)
  • Treat myself to a Spa.
  • Drink too much and pass out.
  • Go cliff-diving.
  • TRAVEL. TRAVEL. TRAVEL.
  • Spend my birthday with the less fortunate.
  • Attend at least 10 Medical missions.
  • Learn how to do CPR.
  • Learn how to circumcise.
  • Attend interesting seminars and lectures even if it's not required in class.
This is not yet done, I'll add more when I have thought of new ones to add.

2/2
Friday, May 21, 2010

Another semester is about to start. I'll still be taking 2nd year subjects because I wasn't able to take them all last year due to Anatomy. I even failed two subjects - Clinical Pathology and Parasitology - last school year because damn, I can't understand why we have to study them. Hahaha! :)) I just hate those two subjects and when I start hating subjects, I study them less; hence, I tend to fail them.

But it will be different this semester because the subjects that I'll be taking are really Medical fields, i.e. Obstetrics, Pathology, Behavioral Medicine, and Pediatrics - subjects that I see the essence of studying for. That's why I am very excited to start this semester. It would really feel like I'm studying to be a doctor! 

Here's my schedule next semester. I'm glad I have Wednesday to de-stress. Haha.

Sometimes, life has to slap you hard on the face before you realize what you're neglecting.

Very obvious as it seems, but it's just this year that I realized that I have to WORK HARD and STUDY SMARTLY because nothing comes easy anymore. Medical school is not like highschool, or even college, that I'll pass whether I exert an effort or not. It's not even enough to have a high IQ anymore. LMAO :))


Anyway, I'll be having Pharmacology as a subject this semester too, and it's known to have delayed a lot of students. Ack! I hope everything goes well *crosses fingers* because I want to graduate soon and wear that freaking white coat already.
