Soon to be MD, I hope. :)

So many days and months have passed. So many Wednesdays that I missed writing in this blog. It all goes down for one reason...  I was too busy for school... for my FUTURE.

Third year, first semester has just ended. And I have to say this, this semester had brought me so many ups and downs. It also did teach me so many things, not just related to my course, but life lessons, as well.

I won't go too much into my emotional stuff. All I just want this entry to contain is about my DREAMS.

Even before the first semester of my third year in college starts, I've been praying to God to help me get through this semester. And I am just so happy and thankful that I did. 5 semesters down, 3 to go and I'll be graduating from my pre-med course.

Less than 2 months to go, and I'll be taking my NMAT. I've been preparing for this. I've enrolled myself into a NMAT review center, and really wishing that I'll get a high percentile.

Last night, I registered to CEM's online registration for NMAT. And at that time, all I could say is that, "This is it. I am so sure of this. I really wanna be a doctor someday. Not just because I want to follow my parents' footsteps, but basically, because this is what I really want."

People would tend to say that I have long way to goooooo... That I have to get through so many things before I become a physician; that I have what? A decade more to go to finish?

But SO WHAT?!?

If you really want something, you have to strive hard to get it.
There are no shortcuts for reaching one's goal. And this is one of my motivations. Some would say, "Ang tagal pa ha? 4 or 5 years pa? Tapos residency pa?"

But I would reply, "4 or 5 years na lang? Hindi ba mabilis na lang yun?"

I am really so sure of this now. I see myself that in 10 years or more, I am a successful physician already! :D

Start of something new :)

I remember during my Economics class in high school, our teacher told us that,

"Everything has a saturation point."

("Lahat dadating sa time na magsasawa.")

I realized that it is true; true since I get to experience it myself.

I know, I know, giving up should never be an option in any situation. I mean, if you want something, you gotta do everything to get it. But just like what I said earlier, everything has a saturation point. Everything has an end. Giving up is not always bad. I mean, what's our usual advice when someone's down, and was not able to get what he or she wants?

"Maybe it's not really for you. Maybe God has something better for you."

("Malay mo hindi yun para sayo. Malay mo meron si God na ibibigay sayo na mas maganda.")

That's like the usual thing we say, right?

For the last few days, I was able to realize that I should stop trying with this thing that bothered me for a while. There were lots of beautiful things around me that happened and I missed them because I kept on trying for something that I guess was not really for me. Thanks for today because I got to realize that there are lots of good things and good people around me. They might not be the good stuff I really wanted, but they for sure are the good ones for me.

"Inhale the good vibes, exhale the bad ones." -That's one thing I got to learn today.

Kung hindi mo kaya at sinubukan mo at nagfail ka pa, may magagawa ka ba? Kung ayaw sayo at pinilit mong makisama at wala rin nangyari, may magagawa ka ba?

None, right? I tried, but I failed. And I'm happy I got to ACCEPT it now.

So, next step?
MOVE ON.

And that's the thing I'm doing now. Moving on. Forgetting all those bad vibes. Accepting the changes. And starting anew. :)

Reason why I will forever love One Tree Hill :")

I kept thinking of what to share in my entry today, but I really could not think of anything. Until tonight, when I was lying on my bed, checking tweets in twitter, I read a quote from the series One Tree Hill, which says,

"Love means giving chances when there's no more chances left to give."

I realized that the quote is indeed true. When you love someone, you never count what he has given you. You never count the mistakes he has done to you. You just give him a chance for him to correct his mistakes. That is because you both know that he would not mess up again; that he believes in himself  that he could do better; that he could make you a lot happier. 

One Tree Hill just ended. :(

And, it's quite sad because this is the first series I've really loved watching, and I've been watching it for nearly a decade. It is just really sad that it is over now since OTH became one of my guides in life. It taught me a lot of life lessons. :)
