One of the cons of not doing anything is that it tends to affect your self-worth. I have pretty much been in a rut lately. It seems that being a useless bum doesn't really feel all that nice. It never helps reading the news either. You always hear news of exceptional people - the extremely smart, athletic, talented and wealthy. There's this kid ( Read more... )

God has been really gracious to me these past few weeks. It's weird, that though nothing really happened - I'm beginning to appreciate how gracious he is towards me even in the little-est of things.

A list of how gracious He has been the past month
1) Last weekend's worship service
1-a) It went well
1-b) Saki has been a Godsend. Thanks Saki for helping ( Read more... )

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be ( Read more... )

I came across two very old Nuns on wheelchairs in the hospital yesterday. I would assume they would have been around 90 years old. One of them has a Nasogastric tube attached to her face - so I assume both of them were already very old and are nearing the end of their lives. I couldn't quite describe that feeling I get whenever I see people nearing ( Read more... )

I'm so surprised that a few words from somebody could totally de-motivate you and basically destroy your day. It was a frustrating day. I couldn't get myself to listen in class so I ended up going out of the room to get some fresh air. Those few ugly words tended to linger on my thoughts for the rest of the day ( Read more... )

I just got home from an exam today. The weather was beautiful. I loved how the 9am sunlight touches my face with its warm hands. I enjoyed how the cool morning breeze flowed through my hair while taking that morning walk ( Read more... )

Valentines hasn't been really my favorite day. I think Tim and Ian would just say that I'm bitter about it XD Though I've been more successful in tying me emotions on a leash, I'm still pretty much touchy on the subject ( Read more... )

I'm now finished with my paper so I'm just waiting till 6 p.m. arrives because I'll be going back to the Sanctuarium with another set of friends. The funny thing about  wakes that I realized just last night is that it's the next best thing to a batch reunion. A lot of people were there last night. The place was literally littered with Ateneans. I ( Read more... )

We had a stroke patient this morning. His name was Armando and based on the way he looks, he would be around 70-80 years old. I could say that none of my patients had the same impact on me so far that him. You know based on his symptoms which part of the brain has been affected. He can understand, but he has a very hard time articulating his ( Read more... )

 Things haven't been going the way I wished they would be. On the flip side, things haven't been that bad either. It's a bit frustrating from time to time, that there are really things that you cannot change no matter how hard you try. I have been feeling so loser-ish recently that it has been killing my motivation to study ( Read more... )
