Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.
I’ve been using this blog ever since my frosh days in La Salle and I figured it’s about time I move on. Yes, this shall be my last blog entry.
And since this blog pretty much captures the feelings and emotions I could never ever show, As much as possible I would try to make this entry less trifling.
-------------------------------------------------8 MONTH BREAK-----------------------------------------------------------
A lot of things happened to me this break. I was productive, I tried out stuff I told myself I’ll do before I enter Medical school, I had few fun trips (where I actually relaxed) and most importantly I made it a point to see my family and friends at least once a week.
Aside from the tiring days and sleepless nights, a lot of ideas and realizations found me this break. It came in different packages, delivery time and carriers. Some were rushed deliveries I need to get my hands on ASAP while some were like magazine subscriptions delivered to my doorstep once a month.
I learned about life, friendship, memories and how important it is to truly give yourself a break from all the stress life brings you. I can proudly say that yes my break was productive. I did not let it pass just by staying home all day watching DVDs and Facebook-ing (no offense, I just hate the idea HAHA). I realized that indeed learning does not require much, all you need to do is open your eyes, mind and heart to the endless possibilities around you. It is when you consider others a contribution to your life where you suddenly see that sometimes things find you.
I used to be choosy around people; maybe it was because of the sheltered life I used to live. It took me some time to let go of all my apprehensions and start believing that every person has his/her own story and that every story has its lesson. I realized that this world is indeed limitless.
It’s so empowering to look back and reminisce on things I have experienced this break. That anything and everything is possible. I met people from different walks of life, some doesn’t even have anything but their dream of one day succeeding... and yes, some of them didJ I’m not going to be a hypocrite here telling you guys that this world shall offer you the best life you think you deserve, because it does not work that way. Life is harsh, hard and could be unfair BUT only if you let it be. It is our duty to stay afloat because we owe it to ourselves... We owe it to our dreams. I am not going to deny that some people does not have the best of luck and that some were blessed even before trying because like what I’ve mentioned earlier, it could be unfair. It is in the determination, attitude and faith where success truly lies because luck can only take you so far. It is up to each and every one of us to not only make it but also KEEP IT. I used to feel bad and underestimate myself each time I fail, until I realized that sometimes it’s just part of the journey and the never ending process of learning. Misery is part of life but dwelling on it is a different case.
New chapters and beginnings come about when you allow it. We choose who we want to be in life. We choose the situations we engage in and the people we allow to influence us. I used to go around blaming the people I love why my life turned out like this, until I learned that it is my fault and own doing.
With all the things I mentioned above, the best lesson I learned is that I should be thankful. I have a mom who loves me unconditionally, a brother who keeps me grounded, a FEW TRUE friends I can run to and just be crazy with, a college degree that can NEVER EVER be taken away from me and a father who now turned into my 24/7 guardian angel. I am thankful, I am satisfied but I am still open for more.
It’s nice and scary to look back on the girl who started this blog 4 years ago. I don’t even know if I can still picture her. I am not going to deny that there were MAJOR changes.. changes that I allow to happen. It used to bother me to not recognize the person I suddenly become, until this break gave me the chance to find myself. It made me see that change is a lifelong process and that there’s wisdom in losing and finding one’s self. Change is good for us, if we can only just look around and see what we can give and get out of life. There are so many things we are capable of, and it’s about time to start believing and seeing it=)
Love? Hmm maybe I still haven’t truly fallen in love. BUT it’s nice to know I’ve stepped on it a few times=) Lalalalalala
And yes yes yes the ever constant, ever changing, CHUCK BASS finally said his long awaited “I LOVE YOU to Blair!! (I think I saw the finale of season2 five freaking times! HAHAHA)
New school, New condo, New classmates, New lifestyle, New problems!!!
It’s almost June!!!! Hello Medical school! Marice, break is over its time to take overJ Goodbye life, hello future! Talk, Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh. I am feeling so ambitious!
Happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time... I just know itJ
