Ondoy

I'm really scared, scared of what will happen tomorrow or the day after. When I woke up this morning, I was so scared to go outside because I did not know whether it was still flooded or not. I realized the typhoon has subsided after a whole day of nonstop rain that, I read from the online news, killed more than 50 people. People are missing, and I am not sure whether among those 20,000 people, I have friends or schoolmates belonging to that big a number. I pray for good weather for the coming days and for the safety of the rest of the people and fast recovery of those who were affected by Ondoy.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for keeping me and my family safe. Thank you that we were not flooded, that we still have food to eat, and that we still have a sturdy home to stay in. Please keep all my loved ones safe and the rest of the people and their families as well. I pray for those who are still missing, may they contact us soon to tell us that they are safe. I pray for those who don't seem to care about what's been happening to the country. I pray for more people to donate and to volunteer. And I pray that this incident be a lesson for all of us. Amen.

Who would say no to these shoes? :O I waaaaant! Wala lang, I really want to save money for nice shoes. Just to relieve myself from the stress school's been giving me lately.

School's about to end in a few weeks, and I don't think I've done so well this semester. There's that feeling that I know I could've done better, but I guess this sem's been the most stressful yet, hence the unsatisfactory results. Hay. I pray for a better sem next sem (although Chemistry is coming back yikes) and greater stuff for Kythe.

I want to watch 500 Days of Summer. Who's with me? :>

hello sembreak

Most of the time I still feel so useless, regardless of the time and effort I give.

THANK YOU :)

Law of attraction says that if you really want something so badly, the whole world actually connives to help you get it... I really really really really (with a burning passion) want this, please world, help me have it? To be part of that list would mean so much to me and to my future, so please, can I have this thing I want?

I want to be stronger and to learn not to care about the little mistakes and failures.

Almira got a message that on this day, God wants her to know... ... that you are perfect as you are. God doesn't create faulty life. No. Everything created by God is perfect, and so are you. So stop driving yourself mad with endless ways to improve, and just accept the glory of your being as is.

YAY :D

"...freedom is not the ultimate value. Freedom is important because it enables the person to make choices; it capacitates him to exercise his responsibility to choose from several possibilities; freedom is what empowers a human being to express himself in and through the choices that he makes. But freedom is not the most important value. The ultimate value is man making a choice, that he expresses himself in the choice that he makes, and that he is ultimately responsible for his choices." (Dacanay, S.J., 2006)

Yesterday I made a choice. I decided that I really want to be a doctor. I really really want this dream, I'm just not sure where I'll study or if I can still afford to go to med school in 2 years. So help me God. :)

before i study

It's true that not everything I want is everything I need. I wish I was better at filtering things or people or experiences that I really need, so I don't have to go through the long and tiring process of regret most of the time.

For happier news, I'm looking forward to the UST Med School tour this Friday and Embassy's Yard Sale. I really wish I can go to both events AND still have time to study for the first theo long exam.

The idea of berry picking seems to excite me, I don't know why. Bananas for breakfast, anyone?

... that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes you.

You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.

See what God wants you to know...

back to school

It's only the third week of classes and I already feel as if it's midterms season. Hay theo, you are eating me alive.

The days seem longeeeeeer. And I don't like it all. *sighs

Mistakes I wish I never made.

happy mood

I love my friends and the simplest things we can share. Now I want ice cream. Mmm.

The sun's shining.

I should seriously start learning how to set my priorities and responsibilities. You see priorities and responsibilities are two entirely different things and sometimes, what people tend to prioritize aren't really part of the things they are responsible for. Hay.

I need something to cheer me up. Seriously, call me unsatisfied but my chem lecture grade was not enough to lighten me up from the bad news I heard today.

It was mine already, why'd you take it away? :(
