It just keeps getting harder.

It's already 5 in the morning and I've been awake since 3AM. I was supposed to be finished by now... but alas! I fell asleep.

This is my third week in Med School. I'm still adjusting to the pace and the heavy workload everyday. Of course, maybe the biggest hurdle for me is the chronic lack of sleep.. for I can't function well if I stay up all night almost every day of the week.

Anyway, I'm still enjoying everything. It feels good when some people already call me "doctora" even though I'm still in first year! Haha.

I'm happy about the decision I made. And I think that's all that matters. Some of the things that I left hanging during the summer will be maybe put on hold until I have the time to deal with them. Because studying takes up all my time.

Anyway, that's it for now.

Pray for me please, I still need all the prayers I can get. :)

On my way.

This is it. I know it's going to be difficult. It is difficult already... but it'll get harder as the years get on.. but I am determined to survive this.. because I fought and I schemed my way through this path. And because this is my dream.

Goodluck to me. :)

Hay.

OMG. The heat! The humidity! I can barely stand it!! If only I can turn on the AC 24/7.

Hay. Ewan.

Anyway.. in like three months, I've done a lot of bloopers in my life. I feel soo soo bad about some of it.. especially since most of them are my fault..

Hay. I'm not elaborating..

It's just I feel bad about it all..

Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.

But then..

I'm definitely going to miss it here..
the almost weekly family gatherings..
the super fast internet..
the disciplined drivers..
the overflowing foods..
itunes (lol)..
family..

Till the next time I set foot in American soil.

Home is where the ♥ is..

3 Months had gone by soo fast. In a few hours, I'm home-bound. I'm definitely sad about leaving, because I've enjoyed spending time with my family here.. and at the same time, I'm super excited to be with my friends again, and to finally jumpstart a new phase of my life.

People who have known my situation may think that I'm crazy when I chose my path, but, it's a bit complicated, let's just say that there's too many hurdles, and it needs time before I can get a hold of that elusive green card (umm like 6 to 7 years?) so yes, I've decided to pursue my dream while maybe waiting for the golden ticket.

Or maybe.. I'll just decide to live in the Philippines, after all, it is and will always be my home. Even if the government is almost always crappy..

Anyway.. no matter what, I'm excited to begin my new life. I'm happy that I'm not stuck in a limbo anymore. And to hell with you, if you don't agree with me.. after all, it is my life.. :)

It's so amazing how I've managed to talk and be friends with batchmates I haven't talked to when I was in Highschool and College over Facebook and Multiply.

Thank God for the Internet. :))
